Pacific Continental Securities (UK) Limited

Stephen Robert Cork and Joanne Elizabeth Milner of Smith and Williamson Limited were appointed as joint administrators of Pacific Continental Securities (UK) Limited("the Company") on 20 June 2007. The Company subsequently moved from being in administration to being in creditors' voluntary liquidation on 21 March 2008, and Stephen Cork and Joanne Milner were appointed as joint liquidators of the Company in accordance with the proposals approved by creditors.

On 27 July 2011, Stephen Cork and Joanne Milner were replaced as joint liquidators by Henry Shinners and Vivienne Oliver of Smith & Williamson Limited, 25 Moorgate, London, EC2R 6AY pursuant to an order made by Registrar Barber sitting in the Companies Court, Chancery Division in the High Court of Justice pursuant to an application for a block transfer of insolvency appointments.

Please note that following an internal change to Smith & Williamson's legal structure a new limited liability partnership "Smith & Williamson LLP" has been established. The business previously undertaken by Smith & Williamson Limited is now being conducted through the limited liability partnership with effect from 1 May 2012. Other services provided by entities within the Smith & Williamson Group will remain unaffected by these changes.

The affairs, business and property of the company continue to be managed by the joint liquidators who contract as agents of the Company and without personal liability.
