EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This explanatory statement relates to the resolution proposed to be passed at the AGM authorising the grant of the Repurchase Mandate. It contains all the information required under the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against such ordinary resolution.
(i) Share capital
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 682,012,204 Shares of HK$0.10 each. In addition, as at the Latest Practicable Date, share options carrying the rights to subscribe up to an aggregate of 53,034,000 Shares remained outstanding. If such outstanding share options are exercised in full on or prior to the date of the passing of the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate, a further 53,034,000 Shares will be in issue.
Subject to the passing of the resolution regarding the Repurchase Mandate, the Company would be allowed to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 68,201,220 Shares, representing 10% of the then issued share capital of the Company, on the basis that (i) no further Shares will be issued whether as a result of the exercise of any options granted under (a) the share option schemes adopted by the Company on 19 and 20 October 2005 respectively as stated in its prospectus issued on 21 November 2005, and (b) the share option scheme adopted by the Company on 5 August 2009 or otherwise issued prior to the date of the AGM; and (ii) no Shares will be repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM. Assuming that all the 53,034,000 exercisable outstanding share options are exercised in full on or before the date of the passing of the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM and assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of passing the relevant resolution, the total number of Shares in issue will be 735,046,204 Shares and the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Manade to repurchase up to 73,504,620 Shares.
(ii) Reasons for repurchases
Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing the Shares, they believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchase may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangement at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
(iii) Funding of repurchases
In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of those funds legally permitted to be utilised in this connection, including capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
(iv) Financial effect of repurchases
The Directors consider that there might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2011 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the relevant period. 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 or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate.
(v) Share prices
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Share | Prices | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | ||
| HK$ | HK$ | ||
| 2011 | |||
| March | 2.55 | 1.80 | |
| April | 2.82 | 2.38 | |
| May | 2.49 | 1.93 | |
| June | 2.21 | 1.78 | |
| July | 1.95 | 1.63 | |
| August | 1.70 | 1.06 | |
| September | 1.35 | 0.88 | |
| October | 1.19 | 0.79 | |
| November | 1.19 | 0.95 | |
| December | 1.19 | 1.00 | |

| January | 1.08 | 0.98 | |
| February | 1.52 | 1.02 | |
| March (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 1.39 | 1.12 |
(vi) Effect of the Takeovers Code
If on 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 for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
