LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Proposed General Mandates to Issue and Repurchase Shares
Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors new general mandates:
-
(i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares up to an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the proposed resolution at the AGM; and
-
(ii) to repurchase Shares up to an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the proposed resolution at the AGM.
In addition, if the Issue Mandate is granted together with the Repurchase Mandate, it is further proposed, by way of a separate ordinary resolution, that the Issue Mandate be extended so that the Directors be given a general mandate to issue further Shares up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares which may be repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued share capital of the Company was 1,245,460,891 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution at the AGM approving the Issue Mandate, the Company will be allowed to allot, issue and deal with up to a maximum of 249,092,178 Shares under the Issue Mandate, being not more than 20% of the total issued share capital of the Company, on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM.
An explanatory statement containing information regarding the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
Re-election of Directors
In accordance with Bye-law 87(2), Dr. Ma Ho Man, Hoffman, Mr. Li Fui Lung, Danny and Mr. Ng Hoi Yue, Herman will retire by rotation at the forthcoming AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Notwithstanding that Mr. Li Fui Lung, Danny and Mr. Ng Hoi Yue, Herman have served as independent non-executive directors of the Company for more than 9 years, Mr. Li Fui Lung, Danny and Mr. Ng Hoi Yue, Herman meet the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and are not involved in the daily management of the Company nor are they in any relationships or circumstance which would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment. The nomination committee of the Company (excluding Mr. Li Fui Lung, Danny and Mr. Ng Hoi Yue, Herman who have abstained from voting) has assessed and is satisfied of the independence of Mr. Li Fui Lung, Danny and Mr. Ng Hoi Yue, Herman. Hence, the Board is of the opinion that both Mr. Li Fui Lung, Danny and Mr. Ng Hoi Yue, Herman remain independent and thus recommends them for re-election at the AGM.
Details and particulars of the above Directors required to be disclosed under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules are set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2012.
Proposed Change of Auditors
HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng, the Company’s auditors for the financial year ended 30 June 2012, will retire as auditors of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the AGM.
In March 2012, the practice of HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng was reorganised as HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited. The Board considers that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole if HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng can continue to serve the Company under the new name of HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited. The Board has resolved to appoint HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited as the auditors of the Company upon the retirement of HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng, subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the AGM.
HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng has confirmed that there are no matters in connection with its retirement that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders. The Board also confirms that there are no circumstances in respect of the proposed change of auditors that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.
The appointment of HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited as the new auditors of the Company until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting will be subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Annual General Meeting
The AGM Notice is set out on pages 10 to 14 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed. If you are not able to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, located at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM, or any adjournment thereof, if you so wish and in such event the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
Pursuant to Rule 13.39 of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The chairman of the AGM will demand a poll for each and every resolution to be put forward at the AGM pursuant to Bye-law 66 and the Listing Rules. The Company will appoint scrutineer to handle vote-taking procedures at the AGM. The results of the poll will be published on the websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company as soon as possible in accordance with Rule 13.39 of the Listing Rules.
Recommendation
The Directors consider that the granting of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the relevant resolutions as set out in the AGM Notice.
General Information
Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in Appendix I to this circular. The English text of this circular and the accompanying form of proxy shall prevail over the Chinese text for the purpose of interpretation.
Yours faithfully,
On behalf of the Board See Corporation Limited Dr. Ma Ho Man, Hoffman
Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix includes an explanatory statement required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to be presented to Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors.
1. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Any repurchase under the Repurchase Mandate is proposed to be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that such repurchases may only be effected out of the capital paid up on the repurchased shares or out of the funds of the company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of funds of the company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the company’s share premium account before the shares are repurchased.
In light of the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2012 (being the date to which the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been made up), 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 the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,245,460,891 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the general mandate to repurchase Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Company would be allowed, under the Repurchase Mandate, to repurchase a maximum of 124,546,089 Shares.
– 7 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
4. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda and in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and Bye-laws.
5. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, 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, Dr. Ma Ho Man, Hoffman (“Dr. Ma”), for the purpose of the SFO, was interested in 236,042,361 Shares representing approximately 18.95% of the total issued share capital of the Company.
In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and on the assumption that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the shareholding interests of Dr. Ma would increase to approximately 21.06% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Directors believe that such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render Dr. Ma or any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Board will endeavour to ensure that the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate will not result in less than 25% of the Shares being held by the public.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
6. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates have any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any of the Shares to the Company. No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any of the Shares to the Company nor has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchase of Shares.
7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company in the 6-month period (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
8. SHARE PRICE
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous 12 months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Per Share | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | ||
| HK$ | HK$ | ||
