APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules and Share Repurchase Rules to provide the requisite information to Shareholders for their consideration of the granting of Share Repurchase Mandate. For the purpose of this appendix, the term “shares” shall be as defined in Takeovers Code to mean shares of all classes and securities which carry a right to subscribe or purchase shares.

1. SHARE REPURCHASE RULES

The Share Repurchase Rules permit companies whose primary listing are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

(a) Shareholders’ approval

All on-market share repurchases by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors to make such repurchase.

(b) Source of funds

Repurchases must be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the laws of Cayman Islands and the Company’s memorandum and articles of association.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any Shares, they believe the flexibility afforded by the Share Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders. Shares trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile in recent years. At any time in the future when the Shares are trading at a discount to their underlying value, the ability of the Company to repurchase Shares will be beneficial to those Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company since their interest in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of Shares repurchased by the Company, thereby resulting in an increase in net assets and/or earnings per share. Such repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate issued share capital of the Company comprised 4,905,257,860 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to approve Share Repurchase Mandate, and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased and there are no consolidation or sub-division of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting and the nominal value of each Share remaining the same, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 490,525,786 Shares with an aggregate nominal value of HK$4,905,257 under the Share Repurchase Mandate.

– 8 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. The Cayman Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a Share repurchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase, or out of the capital subject to and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law. The amount of premium (if any) payable on a Share repurchase, may only be paid out of either or both of the profits of the Company or the share premium account of the Company in the manner provided for under the Cayman Companies Law.

There might be an adverse material impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have an adverse material effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company. 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 prevailing.

5. MARKET PRICES

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

	PRICE PER SHARE	PRICE PER SHARE
MONTH	Highest	Lowest
	HK$	HK$
April 2013	3.50	2.30
May 2013	3.75	2.15
June 2013	3.58	2.42
July 2013	3.00	2.44
August 2013	3.35	2.81
September 2013	3.17	2.72
October 2013	2.83	2.10
November 2013	2.27	1.71
December 2013	1.94	1.60
January 2014	1.94	1.63
February 2014	1.71	1.45
March 2014 (up to and including the
Latest Practicable Date)	1.65	1.21

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

6. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association of the Company.

7. THE TAKEOVERS CODE

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

8. DIRECTORS’ SHARE DEALINGS

Neither the Directors nor their associates, to the best of knowledge of Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Share Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

9. CONNECTED PERSONS

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

10. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No Shares have been repurchased by the Company in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
