As noted from the table above, the operations and profi ts of the Group grew signifi cantly during the last fi ve years. The revenue of the Group increased from approximately HK$1,550.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2006 to approximately HK$5,191.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 35.3%. Profi ts attributable to owners of the parent grew from approximately HK$131.1 million to HK$724.3 million during the same period, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 53.3%.

As stated in the 2010 Annual Report, the Group remains optimistic yet prudent to the 2011 market environment and will continue to actively develop more new products, expand the market and strengthen the service quality so as to consolidate the Group’s leading position in the industry. Following the rapid expansion in the number of mobile phone users, there is a strong demand for the network enhancement of the operators. In addition, pursuant to the “Twelfth Five-year Plan” of the PRC, information, communication and technology industry is clearly defi ned as one of the seven strategic emerging industries of the PRC in the next fi ve years and substantial development and upgrade of the technological standard is expected. Therefore, the Directors believe that there are enormous potential business opportunities.

In order to recognise the contributions by certain employees and persons to the Group and to provide them with incentives in order to retain them for the continual operation and development of the Group and to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group, the Board adopted the Share Award Scheme on 25 March 2011.

On 12 April 2011, the Board has resolved to award 26,000,000 Awarded Shares to 365 Selected Persons by way of issue and allotment of new Shares pursuant to the General Mandate.

Among those 365 Selected Persons, there are 12 Connected Selected Persons who are directors of members of the Group and accordingly connected persons to the Company and the issue and allotment of the 3,332,000 new Connected Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Persons under the Share Award Scheme shall constitute connected transaction on the part of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and shall be subject to, among others, the approval by the Independent Shareholders other than the Connected Selected Persons and their respective associates at the EGM.

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

The Connected Awarded Shares will be new Shares to be issued and allotted by the Company, which require no cash outlay to the Group. The Group can preserve cash balance to pay out employee benefi ts under the Award. We note that the Awarded Shares shall be subject to vesting period(s) from the date of resolution of the grant for the Awarded Shares differing among the Selected Persons. The Awarded Shares shall be transferred to the Selected Persons upon expiry of the vesting period(s).

As the Award would (i) allow the Connected Selected Persons to have ownership of the Group and directly align the interest of the Connected Selected Persons to the fi nancial and business of the Group; and (ii) increase the morale of the Connected Selected Persons, we concur with the view of the Directors that the share-based incentives to the Connected Selected Persons aligns with the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

II. Principal terms of the Award

The Board may select any eligible person (other than excluded person) for participation in the Share Award Scheme and determine the number of the Awarded Shares to be awarded to the Selected Persons. The Board is entitled to impose any conditions (including a period of continued service within the Group after 12 April 2011), as it deems appropriate with respect to the entitlement of the Selected Person to the Awarded Shares.

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

The number of new Awarded Shares to be awarded to Connected Selected Persons other than the Directors range from 15,000 Shares to 237,000 Shares, representing a valuation of HK$139,800 to HK$2,208,840.

We have discussed with the Company and note that the number of new Awarded Shares to be granted to the Connected Selected Persons is based on (i) the Connected Selected Persons’ respective position in the Company; (ii) year of services in the Company; (iii) individual performances of the Connected Selected Persons; and (iv) the past/future contributions to the operation and development of the Company. We note that the year of services of the Connected Selected Persons is, on average, approximately 10 years.

The Board decides the number of new Awarded Shares to be awarded to each Connected Selected Persons. The relevant Directors have abstained from decision making when determining their own Awarded Shares.

In order to determine the fairness and reasonableness of the amount of Awarded Shares to be awarded to the Connected Selected Persons, we have compared the value under the Awarded Shares to the Directors plus the compensation package of the Directors to the compensation package of the companies listed on the Stock Exchange with a market capitalisation of over HK$5 billion which are principally engaged in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of advanced telecommunications equipment. We are able to identify only one listed company, namely ZTE Corporation (stock code: 763) which is comparable to the Company.

Set out below is the comparison between (i) the total compensation consisting of the emolument for the year ended 31 December 2010 and the Awarded Shares (the “Total Compensation”) and (ii) the compensation of ZTE Corporation for the year ended 31 December 2010:

The total remuneration for Directors who are : HK$2,239,000 to HK$4,129,000 Connected Selected Persons as disclosed in the 2010 Annual Report Value of the Awarded Shares to Directors : HK$1,118,400 to HK$5,592,000 who are Connected Selected Persons Total Compensation to the Directors who are : HK$3,357,400 to HK$9,721,000 Connected Selected Persons Range of emolument of ZTE Corporation’s : RMB3,000,001 to RMB7,000,000 (equivalent fi ve highest paid employees to HK$3,570,001 to HK$8,330,000 (Note) )

Note: the exchange rate of RMB1 to HK$1.19 is adopted.

As shown in the table above, the value of the Total Compensation ranges from HK$3,357,400 to HK$9,721,000. The value of the Total Compensation of the Directors is in general comparable to the range of emolument of ZTE Corporation’s fi ve highest paid employees. Certain of the Directors have a Total Compensation higher than that of ZTE Corporation, however, each company have a different compensation structure and the Awarded Shares have a maximum vesting period of three years which would provide incentives for the Connected Selected Persons to retain them for the continual operation and development of the Group.

As for the Connected Selected Persons other than the Directors which are entitled to Awarded Shares ranging from HK$139,800 to HK$2,208,840 in value, we have discussed with the Company in respect of their respective position, year of services and contributions to the Group.

LETTER OF ADVICE FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

Taking into account (i) factors including the Connected Selected Persons’ length of service, merits and contributions to the Company; (ii) the value of the Awarded Shares is in general comparable to the compensation of the company with similar business to the Group; (iii) the relevant Connected Selected Persons have abstained from decision making when determining their own Awarded Shares; (iv) the determination of number of Awarded Shares by the Board is not infl uenced by the Connected Selected Persons; (v) the fi nancial results of the Group in recent years have been growing rapidly, in particular, the profi ts have been growing at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 53.3% for the past fi ve years; (vi) the Connected Selected Persons have to follow the terms of the Share Award Scheme as with other Selected Persons; and (vii) the benefi ts of the Award as mentioned in the section headed “Background to and reasons for the Award” above, we are of the view that the amount of Awarded Shares to be awarded to the Connected Selected Persons to be fair and reasonable.

Financial effects of the Award

After awarding the Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Persons, the value of such Awarded Shares would be charged as expenses of the Group for the relevant fi nancial year.
