ISSUE OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE
ISSUE OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE
CIP is the Company’s financial and corporate adviser in Australia advising the Company on inter alia its dual listing on ASX and the BRM Offer.
On 6 July 2011, after trading hours, the Company agreed with CIP to satisfy the payment of part of the advisory fees payable to CIP for services provided by way of issuing 3,863,078 New Shares to CIP at the Issue Price of AUD0.20 (equivalent to approximately HK$1.66 per Share).
The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares. The Company will also make an application to ASX for quotation of the New Shares on ASX.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the New Issue are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The New Shares represent approximately 0.07% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 0.07% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the New Shares.
The New Shares are to be issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors at the special general meeting of the Company held on 13 December 2010.

ISSUE OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE
CIP is the Company’s financial and corporate adviser in Australia advising the Company on inter alia its dual listing on ASX and the BRM Offer.
On 6 July 2011, after trading hours, the Company agreed with CIP to satisfy the payment of part of the advisory fees payable to CIP for services provided by way of issuing 3,863,078 New Shares (with an aggregate nominal value of HK$386,307.80) to CIP at the Issue Price of AUD0.20 (equivalent to approximately HK$1.66 per Share).
Issue Price
The Issue Price of AUD0.20 (equivalent to approximately HK$1.66) represents (i) a premium of approximately 35.0% over the closing price of HK$1.23 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 6 July 2011, being the date on which the Company agreed to the New Issue and (ii) a premium of approximately 34.3% over the average of the closing prices per Share of approximately HK$1.236 as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including 6 July 2011. As no material expenses associated with the New Issue are expected, the net issue price equals to the Issue Price of AUD0.20 (equivalent to approximately HK$1.66 per Share).
The Issue Price was determined after arm’s-length negotiations between the Company and CIP having regard to the issue price of the Shares issued under the Company’s offer for subscription in Australia. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the New Issue are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Ranking of the New Shares
The New Shares, when allotted and issued, will rank equally in all respects among themselves and with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the New Shares.
General Mandate to issue the New Shares
The New Shares will be issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors at the special general meeting of the Company held on 13 December 2010, pursuant to which a maximum of 781,487,097 Shares may be allotted and issued by the Company. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has not issued any Shares under the General Mandate. The issue of the New Shares is accordingly not subject to Shareholders’ approval.

Application for listing
The New Issue is unconditional, but the New Shares are to be listed on the Stock Exchange. The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares. The Company will also make an application to ASX for quotation of the New Shares on ASX.
REASON FOR THE NEW ISSUE
The Company considers that the New Issue provides a reasonable means to pay part of the advisory fees due to CIP and thus reduce the Group’s cash outflow. There will be no proceeds raised from the New Issue.
The Directors consider that the terms of the New Issue are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
