INTO TWO OPERATIONALLY SEPARATE ENTITIES, NAMED
UK AND INTERNATIONAL THE BUSINESS , AT THE SAME
TIME IT WAS DECIDED THAT FROM 01 APR 2006 ALL
SHARED SERVICES CARRIED OUT AT THE CENTRE WOULD
BE DEVOLVED TO THE BUSINESSES, THIS HAS NOW BEEN
DONE, WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EMPLOYED CENTRALLY
REDUCED FROM OVER 160 TO APPROXIMATELY 65; THE
RETAINED ACTIVITIES ARE THOSE CONSISTENT WITH
RUNNING A QUOTED COMPANY BEING FINANCE, TAX,
TREASURY, INSURANCE, LEGAL AND COMPANY SECRETARIAL,
HR AND REMUNERATION STRATEGY, PENSIONS AND EXTERNAL
AFFAIRS, IN ESSENCE THE CONSEQUENCE OF THESE
ACTIONS IS THAT THE BOARD IS NOW RESPONSIBLE
FOR TWO SEPARATE BUSINESS OPERATING SIDE BY SIDE
WITH THE COMPANY, EACH BUSINESS IS NOW RESPONSIBLE
FOR ITS OVERALL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND HAS
A BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITH DELEGATED AUTHORITY
FROM THE BOARD, AND A FINANCIAL STRATEGY APPROPRIATE
TO ITS CIRCUMSTANCES, THE DRIVERS TO DETERMINE
BEHAVIORS AND TO CREATE VALUE ARE THE SAME FOR
EACH BUSINESS AND COMPRISE EBITDA GROWTH, OPTIONAL
USE OF DEBT, PORTFOLIO STRATEGY, PACE AND THE
QUALITY AND QUANTUM OF EBITDA AT THE TIME OF
ANY EXIT; BINDING THE MANAGEMENT APPROACH TOGETHER
IS THE DESIGN OF THE EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE SCHEMES,
FOR EXAMPLE, THE FUNDING OF INTERNAL BALANCE
SHEETS IS MADE REAL BY DIRECTLY AFFECTING THE
CALCULATION OF THE INCENTIVE REWARD, WITHOUT
THE INCENTIVE SCHEME SUCH INTERNAL DEBT IS SIMPLY
NOTIONAL WITH NO BEHAVIORAL FORCE ATTACHED TO
IT; THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE CONCLUDED THAT
THE EXISTING INCENTIVE PLANS ARE ADEQUATE FOR
EXECUTIVES WITH GROUP FUNCTIONS INCLUDING THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS, MR. TONY RICE AND MR. GEORGE
BATTERSBY AND DETAILS OF HOW THE EXISTING ARRANGEMENTS
ARE BEING USED TO INCENTIVES EXECUTIVES WITH
THE GROUP FUNCTIONS ARE OUTLINED IN THE REMUNERATION
REPORT; FOR THE UK AND INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVES
INCLUDING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS, MR. HARRIS
JONES AND MR. JOHN PLUTHERO HOWEVER, THE REMUNERATION
COMMITTEE CONCLUDED THAT A NEW APPROACH IS NEEDED,
ACCORDINGLY, THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE IS SEEKING
APPROVAL AT THE AGM FOR THE CABLE & WIRELESS
LONG TERM CASH INCENTIVE PLAN THE CASH LTIP
, WHICH WOULD BE THE SOLE LONG-TERM INCENTIVE
FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS FOR SENIOR EXECUTIVES IN
THE BUSINESS; THE DESIGN OF THE CASH LTIP IS
THE SAME FOR BOTH BUSINESS ALTHOUGH THE NATURAL
MIX OF DRIVERS WILL BE DIFFERENT, THE REMUNERATION
COMMITTEE CONSIDERS IT ESSENTIAL THAT THE MANAGEMENT
TEAMS IN EACH BUSINESS SEE THEIR ACTIONS CONVERTED

VALUE CREATION SOLELY IN THEIR BUSINESS, AND
THIS WAS THE GENESIS OF THE CASH LTIP; THE VALUE
CREATION MEASURE FOR EACH BUSINESS IS THE MOVEMENT
OVER TIME OF ITS VALUE CONTAINED IN EXTERNAL
SUM-OF-THE-PARTS VALUATION OF CABLE & WIRELESS
AS A WHOLE, THE INCENTIVE POOL FOR EACH BUSINESS
WILL COMPRISE 10% OF THE GROWTH IN VALUE IN EXCESS
OF A HURDLE RATE MINIMUM 8% PER ANNUM OVER
THE 4-YEAR PERFORMANCE PERIOD, OR UNTIL A VESTING
EVENT IF EARLIER , THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
WILL FIX THE BASE VALUE OF EACH BUSINESS AS AT
01 APR 2006, THE AGGREGATE OF THE BASE VALUES
OF THE BUSINESS WILL NOT BE LESS THAN THE AVERAGE
MARKET CAPITALIZATION OF THE COMPANY DURING MAR
2006 JMD 2.528BN , THE ALLOCATION OF THIS VALUE
BETWEEN THE BUSINESS WILL BE SUBJECT TO FINAL
APPROVAL BY THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE HAVING
REGARD TO THE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE RELEVANT
BUSINESS ; FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE CASH LTIP,
A NOTIONAL OPENING BALANCE SHEET WILL THEN BE
DRAWN UP FOR EACH BUSINESS BY REFERENCE TO THE
BASE VALUE OF THE BUSINESS, AND THIS BALANCE
SHEET WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE THE INITIAL HURDLE
RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THAT BUSINESS, THE BALANCE
SHEETS ARE DESIGNED TO DRIVE BEHAVIOR AND ARE
PURELY NOTIONAL ALLOCATION TO DEBT HAS NO EFFECT
ON THE OVERALL GEARING OF THE COMPANY, AND THEREFORE
SHAREHOLDERS TAKE NO ADDITIONAL RISK AS A RESULT
OF THE STRUCTURE AS SPECIFIED; THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT
OF THE INCENTIVE POOL FOR INTERNATIONAL WILL,
THEREFORE, BE JMD 39 MILLION IF ALL UNITS ARE
ALLOCATED, THIS WILL BE EQUIVALENT TO 3.5% OF
THE INCREASE IN VALUE OVER THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD;
THE RULES OF THE CASH LTIP CONTAIN A NUMBER OF
PROVISIONS WHICH MAY LIMIT THE PAYMENTS THAT
WILL BE MADE; THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE WILL
ONLY APPROVE PAYMENTS TO DIRECTORS IF IT IS SATISFIED
THAT THERE HAS BEEN UNDERLYING IMPROVEMENT IN
THE PERFORMANCE OF A BUSINESS OVER THE PERFORMANCE
PERIOD; THERE WILL BE NO PAYMENT TO THE DIRECTORS
UNLESS TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN DURING THE PERFORMANCE
PERIOD IS POSITIVE; THE RULES OF THE CASH LTIP
WILL CAP THE AMOUNT CAPABLE OF BEING PAID TO
ANY INDIVIDUAL AT JMD 10 MILLION IF THERE IS
A VESTING EVENT BEFORE 01 APR 2007 AND JMD 20
MILLION THEREAFTER FOR THE JMD 20 MILLION INDIVIDUAL
CAP TO RESTRICT PAYMENTS, THE RELEVANT BUSINESS
WILL HAVE TO CREATED AT LEAST JMD 1 BILLION OF
VALUE ABOVE THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL
OF AT LEAST 8% PER ANNUM; PAYMENTS TO DIRECTORS
UNDER THE CASH LTIP ARE EXPECTED TO BE SIMILAR
IN AGGREGATE TO WHAT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN BY
A CONTINUATION OF THEIR EXISTING INCENTIVE ARRANGEMENTS,
THE CASH LTIP HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO REPLACE THESE
COMPANY DRIVEN COMPONENTS WITH COMPONENTS DIRECTLY
LINKED TO DECISIONS TAKEN WITHIN EACH OF THE
2 BUSINESSES; THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE RECOGNIZES
THAT THE PROPOSED APPROACH TO EXECUTIVE INCENTIVES,
INCLUDING BOTH THE ONE-OFF NATURE OF THE AWARDS
AND THE ALIGNMENT TO BUSINESSES RATHER THAN THE
OVERALL COMPANY, IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL, THIS REFLECT
THE UNIQUE BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION STRATEGY
WE HAVE ADOPTED
10. AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTORS, TO ALLOT UNISSUED SHARES Management For *Management Position Unknown

MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO PARTIALLY MODIFY ARTICLES
8 (OFFICIAL CALL), 14 (DELEGATION AND REPRESENTATION)
AND 22 (VOTING ON PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS) OF THE
REGULATIONS OF THE GENERAL MEETING, IN ORDER
TO ADAPT THEM TO THE UNIFIED CODE OF GOOD GOVERNANCE
FOR LISTED COMPANIES APPROVED BY THE NATIONAL
STOCK MARKET COMMISSION IN 2006 1. PURPOSE OF
THE REPORT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THAT STATED IN
ARTICLE 3 OF THE REGULATIONS OF THE GENERAL MEETING,
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ALTADIS, S.A. (HEREINAFTER
THE COMPANY ) FORMULATES THIS REPORT TO JUSTIFY
THE PROPOSAL TO MODIFY THE ARTICLES OF THE REGULATIONS

OF THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS WHICH
IS SUBMITTED TO THE APPROVAL OF THE GENERAL MEETING.
2. GENERAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSAL ALL
OF THE MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE SUBMITTED FOR THE
APPROVAL OF THE MEETING ARE AIMED AT ADAPTING
THE REGULATIONS OF THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO THE UNIFIED CODE FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE PUBLISHED
BY THE NATIONAL STOCK MARKET COMMISSION AS APPENDIX
I TO THE REPORT FROM THE SPECIAL WORKING GROUP
IN GOOD GOVERNANCE FOR LISTED COMPANIES OF 19TH
MAY 2006 AND APPROVED BY AGREEMENT OF THE BOARD
OF THE NATIONAL STOCK MARKET COMMISSION ON 22ND
MAY 2006. 3. DETAILED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROPOSAL
THE MODIFICATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED TO ARTICLES
8 AND 22 OF THE REGULATIONS OF THE MEETING HAVE
THE SAME OBJECTIVE, WHICH IS THAT IN THE SETTING
OF THE AGENDA AND IN THE VOTING ON THE AGREEMENT
PROPOSALS, SUBSTANTIALLY INDEPENDENT ISSUES SHALL
BE INCLUDED SEPARATELY AND VOTED INDEPENDENTLY,
LIKE THE APPOINTMENT, RE-ELECTION OR RATIFICATION
OF EACH DIRECTOR OR, IN THE CASE OF MODIFICATION
OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, EACH ARTICLES
OF GROUP OF ARTICLES INDEPENDENTLY. THE AIM IS
THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS KNOW, ASSESS AND VOTE SEPARATELY,
WITHOUT BEING PUT IN CLOSED LISTS , IN PARTICULAR
THE APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS AND THE MODIFICATION
OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, WHERE IT SEEMS
APPROPRIATE THAT DECISIONS CAN BE MADE INDIVIDUALLY
ON EACH DIRECTORS AND OPENLY ON THE VARIOUS ARTICLES
OF ASSOCIATION SUBMITTED FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION.
AS REGARDS FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES EXERCISING
THEIR VOTING RIGHTS (ARTICLE 14 OF THE REGULATIONS
OF THE BOARD) AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THEM DOING
SO IN A FRAGMENTED MANNER, ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
FROM THEIR CLIENTS, THE REASON FOR THE PROPOSAL
LIES IN THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS
INVEST IN THE SPANISH MARKET THROUGH A CHAIN
OF BROKERS WHO ACT AS BENEFICIAL OWNERS ON BEHALF
OF THE INVESTOR. IF THE VOTING RIGHT OF THE ULTIMATE
OWNER IS TO BE RESPECTED IT MUST BE ALLOWED THAT
THE FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES WHO ACT AS TRUSTEES
CAN VOTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS
FROM EACH OF THEIR CLIENTS; THIS WOULD OFTEN
INVOLVE THE SAME BENEFICIAL OWNER ISSUING DIFFERENT
VOTES. THIS IS A POSSIBILITY WHICH IS IN PRACTICE
ALREADY ACCEPTED ALTHOUGH NOT EXPRESSLY COVERED
EITHER IN THE ACT OR IN THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
RULES, UNTIL ITS INCORPORATION IN THE RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE UNIFIED CODE. 4. FULL TEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
THE PROPOSAL THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUBMITS
TO THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS IS AS
FOLLOWS: GOVERNANCE OF LISTED COMPANIES APPROVED
BY THE COMMISSION NACIONAL DEL MERCADO DE VALORES
