GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

The general mandate granted to the Directors by the shareholders of the Company (the “ Shareholders ”) at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 21 May 2007 to repurchase Shares will expire at the conclusion of the AGM. At the AGM, the board of Directors (the “ Board ”) will propose an ordinary resolution to grant an unconditional general mandate to the Directors to exercise all powers of and on behalf of the Company to repurchase the Shares (the “ Repurchase Mandate ”) up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution. The general mandate will continue to be in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or any earlier date as referred to in resolution No. 5A (d) as set out in the notice of AGM. In accordance with the requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”) (the “ Listing Rules ”), an explanatory statement is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide you with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on the proposed resolution.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

The general mandate granted to the Directors by the Shareholders on 21 May 2007 will expire at the AGM. In order to ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors, in the event that it becomes desirable to issue any Shares, approval is to be sought from the Shareholders for a general mandate to issue Shares pursuant to the Listing Rules. At the AGM, an ordinary resolution No. 5B will be proposed to grant the Directors an unconditional general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares with an aggregate nominal value not exceeding the sum of 20% of the aggregate nominal value of the share capital of the Company in issue at the date of passing of the resolution and to extend such general mandate by the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company. The general mandate will continue to be in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or any earlier date as referred to in resolution No. 5A(d) as set out in the notice of AGM.

As at 17 April 2008, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this circular (the “ Latest Practical Date ”), the Company had 1,637,892,384 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution approving the general mandate to issue Shares and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed to issue new Shares up to a maximum of 327,578,476 Shares.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the Articles of Association of the Company (“ Articles of Association ”), Mr Chang Chih-Kai and Mr Hsiao Hsi-Ming will retire by rotation at the AGM, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Brief biography of these Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice of AGM, which contains, inter alia, ordinary resolutions to approve the general mandate for Directors to issue Shares and the Repurchase Mandate, is set out on pages 9 to 12 of this circular. A proxy form is enclosed with the annual report. Whether or not you intend to be present at the AGM, you are requested to complete the proxy form and return it in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event so as to be received not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the meeting. The completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM.

PROCEDURES FOR DEMANDING A POLL

Pursuant to the Articles of Association, at any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, unless a poll is required by the rules of the Stock Exchange or (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by:

• (a) the chairman;

• (b) at least 3 members present in person or by proxy or authorised representative for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting;

• (c) any member or members present in person or by proxy or authorised representative representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to attend and vote at the meeting;

• (d) any member or members present in person or by proxy or authorised representative and holding shares in the Company conferring a right to attend and vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right; or

• (e) if required by the rules of the Stock Exchange, by any Director or Directors who, individually or collectively, hold proxies in respect of shares representing 5% or more of the total voting rights at such meeting.

Unless a poll is so demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands, been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost and an entry to that effect in the book of the proceedings of the Company shall be conclusive evidence of the fact, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against that resolution.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement herein misleading.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the proposed grant of the Repurchase Mandate, the general mandate to issue Shares and the re-election of Directors are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The following explanatory statement provides the requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to grant a general and unconditional mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the relevant resolution No. 5A of the notice of the AGM.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,637,892,384 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM and ignoring other restrictions, such as the limitation on the basis of trading volume mentioned above, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to purchase up to a maximum of 163,789,238 Shares which represents a 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing such resolution.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the grant of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Repurchases may, depending on the circumstances, result in an enhancement in the net assets and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking grant of a general mandate to repurchase Shares to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number(s) of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the financial position disclosed in its latest published audited accounts) in the event that the proposed Shares repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, repurchases must be made out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and any other applicable laws. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchases would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

The Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company unless the Directors consider that such purchases are in the best interest of the Company notwithstanding such material adverse impact.

5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS, TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by shareholders of the Company, to sell any Shares to the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they may exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate only in accordance with the Listing Rules, the laws of Hong Kong and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

If, as a result of a share repurchase, 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 Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “ Takeovers Code ”). As a result, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert (depending on the level of increase of shareholders’ interests), 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Based on the current holding of the above Shareholders, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not result in any of them becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as consequences of any repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company of a present intention to sell Shares to the Company and no such persons have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the general mandate is authorised by shareholders of the Company. The Company will not repurchase Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by public being reduced to less than 25%.
