Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution and on the basis that no further shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the issue mandate to issue a maximum of 135,936,400 shares. The granting will ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors in the event it becomes desirable to issue any shares of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to provide you with the information necessary for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued and fully paid up share capital of the Company comprised 679,682,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 67,968,200 Shares (representing not more than 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution).

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any Shares, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the repurchase proposal would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Directors propose that such repurchases of Shares would be appropriately financed by the Company’s internal resources and/or available banking facilities. There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the repurchase proposal was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period as compared with the position as disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2011. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the repurchase proposal to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing ratios which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a share repurchase a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code) 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 Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Yip Mow Lum was interested in 474,580,000 Shares (24,580,000 Shares were held personally by him and 450,000,000 Shares were held by New Charming Holdings Limited, a company wholly owned by him), representing approximately 69.82% of the issued share capital of the Company

Assuming no issue of Shares and repurchase of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, and given the Repurchase Mandate been approved by the Shareholders, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the controlling interest of Mr. Yip will be increased from 69.82% to 77.58%. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase may not give rise to an obligation for Mr. Yip to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not have any intention for the Company to exercise its power to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will result in the public float of the Company falling below 25%.

SHARE PURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchase of the Shares had been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
