This Explanatory Memorandum, the notice of SGM and the circular dated 3 December 2012 (the “ Circular ”) are important documents. They should be read carefully.

This Explanatory Memorandum forms part of the Circular. Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meaning as those defined in the Circular unless stated otherwise.

This Explanatory Memorandum also forms part of the notice of SGM set out on pages 37 to 40 of the Circular. It should be read in conjunction with the notice of SGM and the Resolutions therein.

RESOLUTION 2 — PROPOSED ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BOND TO OCEAN LINE

1. Background to Resolution 2

Please refer to pages 5 to 6, and 9 to 15 of the letter from the Board contained in the Circular (“ Letter from the Board ”) for details of the background to Resolution 2.

2. ASX Listing Rule 10.11

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 requires Shareholder approval by ordinary resolution to any issue, or agreement to issue, by an ASX listed company of equity securities to a related party, or a person whose relationship with the ASX-listed company or a related party of the ASX listed company is, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained (unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 applies).

Ocean Line is a “related party” of the Company as it is controlled by Mr. Kwai Sze Hoi (a Director, and therefore a related party, of the Company). Mr. Kwai Sze Hoi owns 60% of Ocean Line, with the other 40% owned by his spouse, Ms. Cheung Wai Fung.

The exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 10.12 do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 for the issue of the Convertible Bond to Ocean Line.

3. ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is not required in order to issue the Convertible Bond or the Conversion Shares to Ocean Line as the Company has been granted a continuing waiver of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 by ASX.

4. ASX Listing Rule requirements

ASX Listing Rule 10.13 sets out a number of matters which must be included in a notice of meeting requesting shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

  • (a) the Convertible Bond will be issued to Ocean Line;

  • (b) a maximum of 1 Convertible Bond will be issued to Ocean Line. The maximum number of Conversion Shares to be issued to Ocean Line upon conversion of the Convertible Bond is 190,243,902 Conversion Shares, based on the Conversion Price of HK$0.41 per Conversion Share;

  • (c) if Resolution 2 is approved by Independent Shareholders, the Convertible Bond will be issued no later than 1 month after the date of the SGM, or such longer period as ASX may approve;

  • (d) Ocean Line is a “related party” of the Company as it is controlled by Mr. Kwai Sze Hoi (a Director, and therefore a related party, of the Company). Mr. Kwai Sze Hoi owns 60% of Ocean Line, with the other 40% owned by his spouse, Ms. Cheung Wai Fung;

  • (e) the Convertible Bond is to be issued by the Company in the principal amount of HK$78,000,000. The proposed issue of the Convertible Bond will be made pursuant to the terms and conditions set out at pages 9 to 15 of the Letter from the Board under the heading “CB Subscription”;

  • (f) the issue of the Convertible Bond will raise approximately HK$78,000,000. The intended use of the funds raised is set out at page 15 of the Letter from the Board under the heading “Reasons for and benefits of the transactions”; and
