Background
Aurora Fidelity Trust Co. Ltd. ("Aurora Fidelity"), which serves as trustee for the holders of the Debentures (Series H) of the Company ("the Debentures (Series H)"), notified the Company of its resignation from its office as trustee for the holders of the Debentures (Series H) under the deed of trust and the provisions of Section 35N(b) of the Securities Law, 5728-1968 ("the Securities Law"). The reason given by Aurora Fidelity for the resignation is that following its provision of trust services for the holders of the Debentures (Series 3), there is concern that Aurora Fidelity will find itself in a position of conflict of interests.
