EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution in relation to the Share Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

1. SHARE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 906,186,000 fully paid-up Shares. It is proposed that up to a maximum of 10 percent of the fully paid-up Shares in issue at the date of passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Share Repurchase Mandate may be repurchased by the Directors. Subject to the passing of the Share Repurchase Resolution, on the basis that no further Shares are issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting and ignoring other restrictions, the Company would be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 90,618,600 fully paid-up Shares.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in 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 earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Directors propose that such repurchases of Shares will be appropriately financed by the Company’s internal resources and/or available banking facilities. There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012 and taking into account the financial position of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, in the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

4. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING AND CONNECTED PERSONS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, the exercise of the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate will be in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

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

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares held by them to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of its Shares.

5. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of a share repurchase, any 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 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. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Rich Union Enterprises Limited was directly or indirectly interested in 397,080,000 Shares as disclosed under the SFO, which constituted approximately 43.8 percent of the voting rights attaching to the issued share capital of the Company. If the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, which is considered to be unlikely in the current circumstances, Rich Union Enterprises Limited will (assuming that there is no change in relevant facts and circumstances) hold approximately 48.7 per cent of the voting rights attaching to the issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases made pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate. Nevertheless, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate and will not effect repurchase to such an extent which would result in the Company failing to comply with Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules which requires a public float of 25%.

6. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

There was no repurchase by the Company of the Shares from the Listing Date to the Latest Practicable Date.
