Your Honor,

in the note to private shareholders from 15 September 2000 (callable from the internet site www.bis.org), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) announced an Extraordinary General Meeting on 8 January 2001 with a view to amending the Statues of the BIS so as to exclude private shareholders against payment of CHF 16,000 per share. The Extraordinary General Meeting approved the proposals.

As one of the excluded private shareholders, I call upon the Hague Arbitral Tribunal (Bank for International Settlements) in order to let verify the amount of the compensation. I wish written proceedings. Please, send registered letters with notice of receipt to my above address to communicate with me.
