LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED SHARE PREMIUM CANCELLATION

The Board intends to put forward the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation for approval by the Shareholders at the SGM, under which the entire amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account will be cancelled and the amount will be transferred to the Contributed Surplus Account and part of it will be utilised to eliminate the balance of the Accumulated Losses.

Effects of the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation

As at 31 December 2010, the amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account and the Accumulated Losses of the Company were approximately HK$2,977,754,000 and approximately HK$380,777,000 respectively, as shown in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2010. It is proposed that, subject to the conditions set out in the section headed “Conditions for the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation”, the entire amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account as at the Effective Date will be cancelled and the amount will be transferred to the Contributed Surplus Account and part of it will be utilised to eliminate the balance of the Accumulated Losses.

Other than the expenses incurred by the Company in relation to the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation, the Board considers the implementation of the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation will not, of itself, have material adverse effect on the underlying assets, liabilities, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or affect the proportionate interests of the Shareholders.

Reasons for the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation

The Company has audited Accumulated Losses of approximately HK$380,777,000 as at 31 December 2010. The Board is of the view that the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation will (i) allow the Company to eliminate the Accumulated Losses arising from the Group’s past operations, thus enable a better appreciation of the financial position of the Group and its current businesses; and (ii) bring the Company to a position that might permit the payment of dividends if and when the Company’s financial position allows and the Board considers appropriate in the future, although there is no guarantee that dividend(s) will be declared or paid upon the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation becoming effective or at any time in the future. The Board considers that the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • (2) compliance with Section 46(2) of the Companies Act, including (a) publication of a notice of the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation in an appointed newspaper in Bermuda on a date not more than thirty days and not less than fifteen days before the Effective Date; and (b) the Board being satisfied that on the Effective Date, there are no reasonable grounds for believing the Company is, or after the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

Expected Effective Date of the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation

Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, it is expected that the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation will become effective on the next business day immediately following the date of passing the relevant special resolution approving the Proposed Share Premium Cancellation.
