LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ISSUE MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the AGM, the Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate.

Issue Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate (i.e. the Issue Mandate) to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares or underlying shares of the Company (other than by way of rights or pursuant to a share option scheme for employees or Directors of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or pursuant to any scrip dividend scheme or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of whole or part of the dividend on Shares in accordance with the Articles of Association) or make or grant offers, agreements, options and warrants which might require the exercise of such power, of an aggregate nominal amount of up to 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares as at the date of granting the Issue Mandate.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will further be proposed for extending the Issue Mandate authorising the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Details on the Repurchase Mandate are further elaborated below.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an aggregate of 1,072,324,835 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Directors would be allowed under the Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 214,464,967 Shares.

Repurchase Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate to repurchase Shares (i.e. the Repurchase Mandate) on the Stock Exchange of an aggregate amount of up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 107,232,483 Shares.

The Issue Mandate (including the extended Issue Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issue Mandate (including the extended Issue Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association, the Companies Law or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Issue Mandate (including the extended Issue Mandate) or the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs fi rst.

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite 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 the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to Articles 87(1) and 87(2), at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than onethird) who have been longest in offi ce shall retire from offi ce by rotation, provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires.

In accordance with Article 87(1) and 87(2), Mr. Fok Tung Ling, Mr. Yao Yan, Mr. Lau Siu Ki, Kevin and Mr. Liu Cai shall retire from offi ce by rotation at the AGM. Being eligible, each of Mr. Fok Tung Ling, Mr. Yao Yan, Mr. Lau Siu Ki, Kevin and Mr. Liu Cai will offer himself for re-election as Director.

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to re-elect each of Mr. Fok Tung Ling, Mr. Yao Yan, Mr. Lau Siu Ki, Kevin and Mr. Liu Cai as Directors.

Details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company adopted the existing Share Option Scheme by written resolutions of all shareholders of the Company passed on 20 June 2003.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules and the terms of the Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of Shares (as defi ned under the Share Option Scheme) which are subject to Options granted to subscribe for the Shares under the Share Option Scheme immediately after the listing of Shares on the main board of the Stock Exchange must not exceed 80,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue on the date of dealings in the Shares fi rst commenced on the main board of the Stock Exchange.

The Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed on 14 May 2004 for a 10% of the then total issued share capital of the Company, pursuant to which the Company was authorised to grant options to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 83,000,000 Shares.

The Scheme Mandate Limit was further refreshed on 25 May 2005 for a 10% of the then total issued share capital of the Company, pursuant to which the Company was authorised to grant options to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 83,301,800 Shares.

The Scheme Mandate Limit was further refreshed on 2 June 2009 for a 10% of the then total issued share capital of the Company, pursuant to which the Company was authorised to grant options to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 85,577,300 shares.

The Company may refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit at any time subject to prior shareholders’ approval provided that:

  • (i) the Scheme Mandate Limit so refreshed must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the Shareholders’ approval of the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit; and

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) options previously granted under the Shares Option Scheme and other share option schemes (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the schemes or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

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

Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has granted Options under the Share Option Scheme which entitled holders thereof to subscribe for 168,854,780 Shares, of which, 68,479,275 Options were exercised, 31,453,020 Options were cancelled, 16,092,600 were lapsed. The Directors consider that the Company should refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit so that the Company has greater fl exibility to provide incentives to, and recognize the contributions of the Eligible Participants under the terms of the Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,072,324,835 Shares in issue. Assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the AGM, upon refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the AGM, the Company may grant options entitling holders thereof to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 107,232,483 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of AGM. The total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the “refreshed” Scheme Mandate Limit of 107,232,483 Shares together with all outstanding options as at the Latest Practicable Date carrying the right to subscribe 52,829,885 Shares is 160,062,368 Shares, representing approximately 14.9% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of AGM. No options may be granted if this will result in the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company exceeds 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

The Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM; and

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares (representing a maximum of 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolution of refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM) which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of the options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal, in the Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue at the AGM, which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of the options that may be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

PROPOSAL FOR BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES

Reference is made to the annual results announcement dated 31 March 2010, in which the Board announced that it had resolved to propose a Bonus Issue to the Shareholders in recognition of the continual support of the Shareholders.

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Bonus Issue is proposed to be made to the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date. The terms of the Bonus Issue are set out below:

Basis of Bonus Issue

Subject to the conditions as set out under the heading “Conditions of Bonus Issue” below, the Bonus Issue is proposed to be made on the basis of one Bonus Share for every 10 existing Shares held on the Record Date by the Shareholders. The Bonus Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid at par, by capitalization of such amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company. On the basis of 1,072,324,835 existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming no further Shares will be issued or purchased before the Record Date, 107,232,483 Bonus Shares will be issued under the Bonus Issue (representing 10% of the issued share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date and the Record Date), and HK$10,723,248 standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company will be capitalized for paying up in full at par 107,232,483 Bonus Shares.

Record Date and closure of register of members

The Bonus Shares will be issued to the Qualifying Shareholders. Arrangement for the Excepted Shareholders are further elaborated below under the heading “Excepted Shareholders”.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 20 May 2010 to Monday, 24 May 2010, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares will be effected. In order to qualify for the fi nal dividend, special dividend, and the Bonus Issue, all transfers accompanied by the relevant share certifi cates must be lodged with the Company’s Hong Kong branch registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712–1716, 17/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong no later than 4:30 pm on Wednesday, 19 May 2010.

The exact total number of Bonus Shares to be issued under the Bonus Issue will not be capable of determination until the Record Date. The Company will make an announcement when the number of Bonus Shares is determined.

Reasons for the proposed Bonus Issue

In recognition of the continual support of the Shareholders, the Board decided to propose the Bonus Issue. In addition to that, the Directors believe that the Bonus Issue will enhance the liquidity of the Shares in the market and thereby enlarging the Company’s shareholder and capital base.

Excepted Shareholders

For those Overseas Shareholders, enquiry will be made by the Board pursuant Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. Upon such enquiry, if the Board is of the view that the exclusion of the Overseas Shareholders is necessary or expedient, the Bonus Shares will not be granted to the Excepted Shareholders. In such circumstances, arrangements will be made for the Bonus Shares which would otherwise have been issued to the Excepted Shareholders, if any, to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealing in the Bonus Shares commences. Any net proceeds of sale, after deduction of expenses, will be distributed in Hong Kong dollars to the Excepted Shareholders, if any, pro rata to their respective shareholdings and remittances therefore will be posted to them, at their own risk, unless the amount falling to be distributed to any such persons is less than HK$100.00, in which case it will be retained for the benefi t of the Company.

— 9 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are no Overseas Shareholders in the register of member of the Company. As such, no specifi c enquiry in respect of the above will be made by the Board, unless otherwise announced by the Company later.

Status of Bonus Shares

The Bonus Shares, upon issued, will rank pari passu with the Shares then existing in all respects, including the entitlement of receiving dividends and other distributions the record date for which is on or after the date of allotment and issue of those Bonus Shares.

Fraction of Bonus Shares

The total number of Bonus Shares to be issued to any Shareholders will be rounded down to a whole number, if there are any fractional entitlements of the Bonus Shares such fractional entitlements arising from the Bonus Issue will not be issued to the Shareholders, but will be cancelled by the Company.

Conditions of Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue is conditional upon:

  • (i) the approval of the Bonus Issue by the Shareholders at the AGM of the Company to be held; and

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listings of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange in respect of such listings of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares. Apart from making listing application to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange, the Board does not propose to make application to any other stock exchanges for the listing of and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares. The Shares in issue are listed on the Stock Exchange. No part of the share capital or any other securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no application is being made or is currently proposed or sought for the Shares or any other securities of the Company to be listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange.

Adjustments of Options

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 52,829,885 Options outstanding. The Bonus Issue may lead to adjustment to the exercise price and/or the number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of outstanding Options. Other than the Options, the Company does not have any warrants, options, or other securities exchangeable or convertible into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Company will make further announcement upon the aforesaid adjustments to the Options, if adjustment is required and has been made.

It is expected that certifi cates for the Bonus Shares will be posted on Tuesday, 1 June 2010 after all the conditions have been fulfi lled at the risk of the Shareholders entitled thereto to their respective addresses shown on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date. Dealings in the Bonus Shares are expected to commence on Thursday, 3 June 2010.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES

The Listing Rules prohibit the Company from knowingly purchasing its 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 (as defi ned in the Listing Rules) and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling to the Company his/her/its securities of the Company.

No connected person of the Company has notifi ed the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is passed.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,072,324,835 fully paid Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 107,232,483 fully paid Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefi t the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s cash fl ow or working capital facilities, which will be funds legally available for such purpose under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with those as at 31 December 2009, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.

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

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
