RESULTS OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE

The Board is pleased to announce that as at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 23rd June, 2008, being the latest time for acceptance of and payment for the Rights Shares and for application and payment for excess Rights Shares, 657 valid acceptances of provisional allotment of Rights Shares have been received for a total of 425,897,939 Rights Shares and 514 valid applications for excess Rights Shares have been received for a total of 226,463,505 excess Rights Shares, resulting in a total of valid applications for 652,361,444 Rights Shares.

Accordingly, the Rights Issue was over-subscribed by 180,971,266 Rights Shares or approximately 38.4%, based on the total number of 471,390,178 Rights Shares being offered under the Rights Issue. The total number of 226,463,505 excess Rights Shares being validly applied for by the Qualifying Shareholders represented approximately 5.0 times of the 45,492,239 Rights Shares available for excess application.

EXCESS APPLICATION

226,463,505 excess Rights Shares were validly applied for by way of excess application (represented approximately 5.0 times of 45,492,239 Rights Shares available for the excess application). Given the over-subscription, the Directors have

resolved to allot 45,492,239 excess Rights Shares available for excess application to the Qualifying Shareholders in the following manner:

Number of excess Rights Shares applied for Number of valid excess applications 1 to 2,000 248 2,001 to 15,999 165 16,000 to 25,999 24 26,000 to 219,999 52 220,000 to 699,999 10 700,000 to 4,999,999 11 5,000,000 to 49,999,999 3 Over 49,999,999 1 Total 514	Total number of excess Rights Shares applied for Basis of Allotment 301,884 In full 947,439 Odd lot excess Rights Shares applied for in full plus 40.00% of the remaining excess Rights Shares applied for (rounded up to the nearest board lot) 489,509 Odd lot excess Rights Shares applied for in full plus 35.00% of the remaining excess Rights Shares applied for (rounded up to the nearest board lot) 4,365,379 Odd lot excess Rights Shares applied for in full plus 30.00% of the remaining excess Rights Shares applied for (rounded up to the nearest board lot) 4,422,534 Odd lot excess Rights Shares applied for in full plus 25.00% of the remaining excess Rights Shares applied for (rounded up to the nearest board lot) 19,098,599 Odd lot excess Rights Shares applied for in full plus 20.00% of the remaining excess Rights Shares applied for (rounded up to the nearest board lot) 120,000,000 Odd lot excess Rights Shares applied for in full plus 19.50% of the remaining excess Rights Shares applied for (rounded up to the nearest board lot) 76,838,161 Approximately 19.01% of the excess Rights Shares applied for 226,463,505	Total number of Rights Shares allotted Approximate percentage of allocation based on the total number of excess Rights Shares applied for in this category 301,884 100.00% 641,439 67.70% 215,509 44.03% 1,377,379 31.55% 1,122,534 25.38% 3,822,599 20.02% 23,402,000 19.50% 14,608,895 19.01% 45,492,239

As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Directors allocated the excess Rights Shares at their discretion and on a fair and equitable basis and gave preference to topping up odd lots to whole board lots. Further remaining excess Rights Shares were allocated to all applicants based on a sliding scale with reference to the excess Rights Shares applied by them (i.e. Qualifying Shareholders belonging to pre-determined categories consisting of applications for smaller number of Rights Shares were allocated with a higher percentage of successful application but will receive less number of Rights Shares; whereas Qualifying Shareholders belonging to pre-determined categories consisting of applications for larger number of Rights Shares were allocated with a smaller percentage of successful application but will receive higher number of Rights Shares), subject always to the rights of the Directors to reject any applications with an

intention to abuse the general mechanism of the excess application for the excess Rights Shares.

The Directors consider that the allocation of the excess Rights Shares is on a fair and reasonable basis.
