LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

In order to ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors, in the event that it becomes desirable to issue any new Shares, approval is to be sought from the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for a general mandate to issue Shares. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution no. 4(A) will be proposed to grant a Share Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot and issue a maximum of 54,340,000 new Shares, representing 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company immediately after the passing of the resolution in relation to such proposed Share Issue Mandate. In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution no. 4(C), the number of Shares purchased by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 4(B) will also be added to the Share Issue Mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution no. 4(A). The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares pursuant to such Share Issue Mandate.

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

In addition, an ordinary resolution no. 4(B) will be proposed to approve the granting of a proposed Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares representing up to 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company immediately after the passing of the resolution in relation to such proposed Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed view on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 271,700,000 Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 27,170,000 Shares during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value of the Company and/or earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and in circumstances where they consider that the Shares can be repurchased on the terms favorable to the Company. On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2011, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up, the Directors consider that if the general mandate to repurchase Shares were to be exercised in full at the currently prevailing market value, there will not have a material adverse impact on the working capital position and gearing level of the Company. The Directors do not propose to exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements or the gearing level which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases to be made pursuant to the proposed Repurchase Mandate would be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Companies Law. The Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Companies Law. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Company’s Shares are repurchased in the manner provided for in the Companies Law.

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND REPURCHASE CODE

Upon the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Repurchase Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interests, may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, First Prospect Holdings Limited (‘‘First Prospect’’) was interested in 172,900,000 Shares, representing approximately 63.6% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the proposed Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of First Prospect in the Company will be increased to approximately 70.7% of the issued share capital of the Company. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeover Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

Assuming that there is no further issue of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of repurchase, the exercise of proposed Repurchase Mandate whether in whole or in part will not result in less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company being held by the public as required by Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
