2. THE ISSUE MANDATE

The Company’s existing mandate to allot and issue Shares was approved by the Shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on 29 July 2011. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to allot and issue Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the 2012 AGM.

In order to ensure flexibility when it is desirable to allot and issue or otherwise deal with additional shares, the Directors will seek the approval of Shareholders to grant the Issue Mandate at the 2012 AGM and will put forward the following resolutions as set out in the notice of 2012 AGM for the following purposes:

Ordinary resolution no. 4

  • to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of this resolution; and

Ordinary resolution no. 6

  • to increase the aggregate nominal amount of share capital of the Company which the Directors may issue under the Issue Mandate by adding thereto the aggregate nominal amount of share capital of the Company repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no immediate plans to allot and issue any new Shares other than Shares which may fall to be issued under the share option scheme(s) of the Company or pursuant to any scrip dividend scheme or pursuant to any exercise of the existing warrants or under the arrangement disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 2 November 2011 about a discloseable transaction in which Shares will be allotted and issued under a specific mandate sought at an extraordinary general meeting on 22 November 2011 or under similar arrangement which may be approved by the Shareholders from time to time.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Company’s existing mandate to repurchase Shares was approved by the Shareholders at its annual general meeting held on 7 March 2011 and, unless otherwise renewed, such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2012 AGM.

In order to seek the approval of Shareholders to grant the Repurchase Mandate at the 2012 AGM, the Directors will put forward the following resolution as set out in the notice of 2012 AGM:

to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange representing up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of this resolution.

The Listing Rules contain provisions to regulate the repurchase by companies with primary listings on the Stock Exchange of their own securities on the Stock Exchange. The Company is required to give Shareholders information which is reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution to renew the grant of the Repurchase Mandate. In this regard, this circular contains an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules as set out in the Appendix.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for consideration as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2012 AGM for granting the Repurchase Mandate.

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,650,360,626 Shares.

Subject to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the terms thereof, on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company before and up to the date of 2012 AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 365,036,062 Shares.

2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange as and when required. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases of Shares will benefit the Company and the shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchase must be funded out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the Companies Law. The Company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Cayman Islands law, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital under certain circumstances. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital under certain circumstances.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

4. POSSIBLE MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 30 September 2011, being the date of its latest audited consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the appropriate working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company as they would consider from time to time.

The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
December 2010 0.86 0.72
January 2011 0.87 0.74
February 2011 0.80 0.69
March 2011 0.83 0.67
April 2011 1.06 0.78
May 2011 1.05 0.87

November 2011 0.57 0.495
December 2011 0.53 0.450
January 2012 to the latest practicable date 0.49 0.465

6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could, depending on the level of such increase, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the ordinary resolution no. 5 to be proposed at the 2012 AGM, the aforesaid interests of (1) Equity Base Holdings Limited; (2) Wong Chi Ming, Jeffry; (3) Lui Ching Han, Magda; (4) Choy Shiu Tim; (5) Atlantis Capital Holdings Limited; (6) Liu Yang; (7) L Capital Asia, L.L.C.; and (8) L Capital MF Limited in the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date would be proportionally increased to approximately (1) 8.98%; (2) 8.98%; (3) 8.98%; (4) 8.52%; (5) 8.94%; (6) 8.94%; (7) 9.44%; and (8) 9.44% respectively.

On the basis of the aforesaid increase of shareholding held by each substantial shareholder set out above, the Directors are not aware of the consequences of such increases as a result of repurchases of Shares that would result in the aforesaid persons or any shareholder, or group of shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. Moreover, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

  • Note 1: These 295,025,799 shares are registered in the name of Equity Base Holdings Limited, of which the entire issue share capital is wholly held by Mr. Wong Chi Ming, Jeffry. Ms. Lui Ching Han, Magda as the spouse of Mr. Wong is deemed to be interested in these shares.

  • Note 2: Atlantis Capital Holdings Limited is a controlled corporation of Ms. Liu. Thus, she is deemed to be interested in the same parcel of shares.

  • Note 3: L Capital MF Limited is a controlled corporation of L Capital Asia, L.L.C. which is deemed to be interested in the same parcel of shares.

  • Note 4: Hengdeli International Company Limited and Hengdeli Holdings Limited (collectively “The Hengdeli”) are not included in the above list because The Hengdeli will become members of the Company only after the completion of a disclosure transaction disclosed in the announcement dated 28 September 2011 and the circular dated 2 November 2011. Currently, The Hengdeli is not a member of the Company registered on the register of members.
