Explanation of Responses:
(1) On November 8, 1999, the Reporting Person ceased to be a beneficial
owner of any securities of the Issuer. All such shares were transferred on
November 8, 1999 to the Reporting Person's ultimate parent, Kuwait Petroleum
Corporation.
(2) As the Issuer is a "foreign private issuer," as defined under Rule
3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), pursuant to
Rule 3a-12 thereunder, the Issuer's Ordinary Shares, no par value, are exempt
from Section 16 of the 1934 Act, and the Reporting Person was not subject to
such Section 16 on account of its previous beneficial ownership of such Ordinary
Shares.
