EXEMPTIONS FROM LISTING STANDARDS
We rely on an exemption from the quorum requirement as set forth under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(f). This exemption was granted to Dialog on 1 August 2000. In lieu of following this quorum requirement, Dialog’s articles of association provides for quorum for any general meeting that is no less than two persons present in person or by proxy entitled to vote on the business to be transacted, which is in accordance with law, rule, regulation, and generally accepted business practices in Dialog’s home country of England and Wales.
Item 16D. Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees
We rely on an exemption from the listing standard for audit committees as set forth under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2). This exemption was granted to Dialog on 1 August 2000. We do not believe that our reliance on this exemption would materially adversely affect the ability of our audit committee to act independently and to satisfy other requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In lieu of following this requirement on audit committee composition, Dialog’s audit committee consists of two independent members in accordance with law, rule, regulation, and generally accepted business practices in Dialog’s home country of England and Wales.
