LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Directors retiring by rotation in accordance with Bye-law 99 of the Bye-laws are Mr. Lui Sui Tsuen, Richard and Mr. Ding Chung Keung. Both of them will, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. Information on the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM as required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

To facilitate future allotment and issue of Shares by the Directors on behalf of the Company, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing the proposed resolution of the Issue Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 320,759,235 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution approving the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Share are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be authorised to allot, issue and deal with up to a maximum of 64,151,847 new Shares.

In addition, if the Repurchase Mandate is granted, a separate ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the number of Shares which may be allotted, issued and dealt with under the Issue Mandate by the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate (up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the grant of the Repurchase Mandate).

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors authority to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the proposed resolution of the Repurchase Mandate. An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information concerning the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

REFRESHMENT OF THE LIMIT ON THE GRANT OF OPTIONS UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Share Option Scheme was approved and adopted by the Shareholders in the special general meeting of the Company held on 17 September 2004. Under the rules of the Share Option Scheme, the Scheme Limit must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the shares in issue as at the date of approval of the Share Option Scheme.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Scheme Limit may be refreshed by obtaining approval of the Shareholders in general meeting provided that the Refreshed Limit shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of such limit. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the relevant scheme or exercised options) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Refreshed Limit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any share option schemes other than the Share Option Scheme. The Directors were authorised to grant options to subscribe for an aggregate of 13,387,961 Shares (adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) under the Existing Limit, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 25 May 2012.

Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not granted any options under the Existing Limit and since adoption of the Share Option Scheme. As such, the Directors may grant options to subscribe for 13,387,961 Shares before the renewal of the Existing Limit, representing approximately 4.17% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no options under the Share Option Scheme were outstanding.

As the purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to provide incentives and rewards to employees and eligible persons for their contributions to the Group, the Directors consider that the refreshment of the Existing Limit is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as it enables the Company to have more flexibility in providing incentives to those eligible persons by way of granting of options.

Based on the issued share capital of 320,759,235 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares will be issued prior to the AGM, the Refreshed Limit will enable the Company to grant options carrying rights to subscribe for up to a total of 32,075,923 Shares under the Share Option Scheme. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to refresh the Existing Limit to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of the AGM.

The refreshment of the Existing Limit is conditional upon:

• (a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the Refreshed Limit; and

• (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares which may be issued upon exercise of options to be granted under the Refreshed Limit.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares which may be issued upon exercise of options to be granted under the Refreshed Limit.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This explanatory statement, as required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, serves to provide the Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 320,759,235 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 32,075,923 Shares.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangement at the time, result in enhancement of the net assets value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors consider that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchase will only be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. Under Bermuda law, a company may repurchase its shares out of the capital paid up on the relevant shares or out of the funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purposes of the repurchase. Any premium payable may only be paid out of funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the company’s share premium account.

As compared with the financial position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2012, there might have adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to make any repurchase to the extent that would have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirement or gearing level of the Company which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s voting right at the time, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

2. The percentage of shareholding in the Company is calculated based on 320,759,235 shares in issue as at Latest Practicable Date.
