express an opinion or request information about the way in which a power of the Company
partially or exclusively vested in the Directors has been or should be exercised. Such a
resolution must relate to a material risk identified by the Directors or the Company and
cannot advocate action that would violate any law or relate to any personal claim or

Company.”
