Appendix i

This Appendix I includes an explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information to you for consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. STOCK exCHAnGe RULeS FOR RepURCHASeS OF SHAReS

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution in a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing securities on the Stock Exchange from a connected person, that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective associates and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its securities to the Company.

3. ReASOnS FOR THe RepURCHASe

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have the general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase securities 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 and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUndinG OF RepURCHASeS

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles, the Listing Rules and the Companies Law.

On the basis of the current financial position of the Company and taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing positions of the Company (as compared with the financial position as at 31 December 2010 as disclosed in 2010 Annual Report). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an 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.

5. diReCTORS, THeiR ASSOCiATeS And COnneCTed pARTieS

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 has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is granted, to sell Shares to the Company. No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/it 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 repurchases of Shares.
