Dear Shareholders: NewMarket has recently listed its subsidiary operation in China and the listings of our Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. and Wireless Broadband High-speed wireless transmission of data.

In the past, wireless broadband started at 250 Kbps, whereas land-based broadband was generally considered to start at T1 subsidiary operations are imminent. The purpose of this week's presentations in Boca Raton Boca Raton (bō`kə rətōn`), city (1990 pop. 61,492), Palm Beach co., SE Fla., on the Atlantic; inc. 1925. Boca Raton is a popular resort and retirement community that experienced significant industrial development in the 1970s and 80s. , Atlanta and New York was to provide shareholders with detailed information on NewMarket's emerging technology market strategy. Specifically, we concentrated on how the public listing of subsidiary operations is the central aspect of that strategy. The snow and ice that blanketed much of the country this week handicapped the presentation schedule, but did not stop us. I had not originally planned to personally present in New York, but after being stranded in New York by weather a day earlier and the presentation team not being able to make it up to New York from Atlanta, I was the last man standing. Our CFO See Chief Financial Officer. , Philip Rauch resides in New York and joined me for the presentation. NewMarket is in the business of introducing new technologies to new markets. We are a technology incubator. We have integrated the benefits of the micro cap public market into our business model. As one of our portfolio emerging technology initiatives develops momentum, we look to list publicly that subsidiary's operations independent of NewMarket. The independent listing provides the portfolio company with a dedicated marketable security marketable security A security that may be resold by one investor to another. Most securities are marketable; they develop secondary markets for trading. Also called negotiable security. to support further capitalization and continued growth. The independent listing also enables the opportunity for NewMarket to provide its shareholders with a direct return on investment from NewMarket's subsidiary operations. For shareholders to realize the direct return on investment, NewMarket will issue subsidiary stock to shareholders in dividend distributions. NewMarket launched its technology incubation plan in 2002. In the fourth quarter of 2006, NewMarket China, Inc. (OTCBB:NMCH NMCH National Museum of Chinese History ) became the first independent publicly listed subsidiary. NewMarket will complete transactions with Paragon Financial Corp. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). :PGNF) and Diamond I, Inc. (OTCBB:DMOI) to independently list NewMarket's Latin American and Wireless Broadband operations momentarily. The salient definitive terms of each transaction have been agreed upon and the final documents are complete subject only to final legal review. We are eager to fully demonstrate the micro cap public market specific aspect of our emerging technology incubation strategy. That means both the successful public listing of our first subsidiaries as well as completing the first dividend distributions. It is difficult to schedule specific dates when independent listings and dividends will be complete because many steps of the process rely on parties outside of the Company. For instance, the Paragon and Diamond transactions are all but complete save the work of a final legal review. Issuing stock to shareholders will require further legal work to draft the necessary filings to affect the dividend distribution of subsidiary stock. Additionally, dividend distributions will ultimately require SEC review. The schedule below provides a list of the subsidiaries to be independently listed and the event that will trigger the dividend distribution. The third column in the schedule provides the estimated time to complete the dividend distribution following the trigger event. We have intentionally tried to buffer the estimates with extra time to accommodate for unanticipated hurdles in the process. The schedule is not in any order to indicate the sequential order of dividends nor the sequential order of public listings. We do anticipate that the next independent public listings will be NewMarket Latin America and NewMarket Broadband. The dividend of both NewMarket Latin America and NewMarket Broadband will be triggered by the subsequent reorganization of additional NewMarket assets into the respective companies. After the initial transaction resulting in the public listing of the Latin America and Broadband operations is complete, NewMarket will reorganize additional assets into each listed subsidiary. The reorganization will result in NewMarket garnering additional shares of each subsidiary which it will, in turn, register and issue to NewMarket shareholders. We are allowing 180 days to complete the registration and dividend process. NewMarket owns majority interest in NewMarket China through preferred stock Stock shares that have preferential rights to dividends or to amounts distributable on liquidation, or to both, ahead of common shareholders. Preferred stock is given preference over common stock. Holders of preferred stock receive dividends at a fixed annual rate. with majority voting Majority voting Voting system under which corporate shareholders vote for each director separately. Related: Cumulative voting. majority voting rights. Some time in the future the preferred stock will be converted into common stock. The preferred stock includes dilution protection Dilution protection Standard provision that changes the conversion ratio in the case of a stock dividend or extraordinary distribution to avoid dilution of a convertible bondholder's potential equity position. meaning that as NewMarket China issues more common stock to raise capital and acquire additional operating assets Operating Assets Another term for working capital. , NewMarket shareholders will not be affected. NewMarket will receive additional common stock in the future conversion from preferred to common to ensure NewMarket owns the same majority interest that it owns today. Due to the nature of NewMarket preferred stock ownership, the specifics of a dividend distribution are yet to be determined. Three additional public listings of NewMarket subsidiaries are in process. Stock of all three subsidiaries will also be issued in shareholder dividends to NewMarket shareholders. We will continue to release future updates on the progress of these three additional subsidiary public listings.
