| Notes |
Mr Murchison was born in Singapore and educated in Western Australia. Upon completion of his education he returned to Singapore to work in the family business. Subsequently, he held senior management positions with two large retail groups in Singapore before establishing his own food manufacturing and distribution business based in Singapore and Malaysia. This business has achieved steady growth during recent years and today it services large multinational oriental food distributors in UK, Europe, USA and Australia. Mr Murchison has been a substantial Oropa shareholder since 1993 and he has represented the interests of other substantial Singaporean and Malaysian shareholders from time to time at the company's Annual General Meetings. Recently, Mr Murchison has become actively involved with e-commerce trading activities on the Internet. His many years of international management experience gained from his former associations with Singapore's leading supermarket groups and his current dealings with international food distributors will be beneficial to the Oropa board in negotiation and progressing the company's international projects.
