SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date the issued and fully paid up share capital of the Company comprised 324,582,178 Shares. Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, if so approved, on the basis that no further shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the approval of the Repurchase Mandate, the Company would be allowed under the repurchase resolution to repurchase a maximum of 32,458,217 Shares during the period from the date on which such resolution is passed until the date of: (i) conclusion of the next AGM of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or removal of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first, representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the mandate will provide the Company the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchase may enhance the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share.

GENERAL

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2010 (being the date of its latest published audited financial statements), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed purchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed purchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to make any purchase to such an extent as would in the circumstances have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Repurchases must be made of the funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. The Companies laws of the Cayman Islands (“Laws”) provide that a share repurchase by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose or, if so authorized by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares repurchased or conditionally or unconditionally to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account or, if so authorized by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could, depending on the level of increase of Shareholders’ interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on disclosures made under Part XV of the SFO and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, information on the substantial Shareholders of the Company was as follows:

Ordinary shares of HK$0.10 each of the Company

% of issued share capital
Number After
Name of substantial of shares Before repurchase
shareholder Capacity interested repurchase in full
Yau Chung Hong Personal interest and interest 33,570,000 10.34% 11.49%
(Note) in controlled corporation

Note: Mr. Yau Chung Hong, an executive director of the Company, is personally interested in 30,170,000 Shares and taken to be interested in 3,400,000 Shares by virtue of his control in Sellwell Enterprises Limited.

If the Directors exercise in full the powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the increase in shareholding of the substantial shareholder would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
