“As previously reported, upon application of a major creditor, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok) and Roderick John Sutton as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators (the “Provisional Liquidators”) over Grande Holdings.  On September 12, 2013, the High Court of Hong Kong issued a judgment to formally wind-up Grande Holdings, and the company is currently in liquidation.  The Provisional Liquidators have informed Emerson that they are exploring a potential sale of the 15,243,283 Emerson Shares beneficially owned by Grande Holdings, and this process is currently ongoing.  On August 9, 2013, the Reporting Persons sent to Emerson, as required by Emerson’s bylaws, formal notice of the Reporting Persons’ intention to nominate, at Emerson’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or Emerson’s next annual or special meeting for the election of directors, each of Roderick John Sutton, John Howard Batchelor, Gregory William Hunt, and Vincent Fok to stand for election as directors of Emerson for terms expiring in 2014.   On September 13, 2013, the Reporting Persons sent formal notice of their intention to nominate three additional directors, Mark Manski, Terence A.
