LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to its Shareholders an explanatory statement containing information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the granting of a mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to purchase its own securities.

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for Shareholders’ approval whereby the Directors will be given a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase issued Shares subject to the criteria set out in this document. An explanatory statement containing information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the granting of a mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to purchase its own securities is set out in Appendix 1 to this document.

In addition, conditional upon the proposed resolution to authorise the repurchase of securities, as more particularly described under the paragraph headed ‘‘Shareholders’ Approval’’ under the ‘‘Explanatory Statement on the Repurchase Proposal’’ in Appendix 1, is being passed, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to authorise the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares up to an amount equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares purchased under the authority to repurchase.

FINAL DIVIDEND

Subject to approval by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, the Board has recommended a final dividend of HK1 cent per Share for the year ended 31 December 2011 payable to the Shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members of the Company on 18 June 2012.

AMENDMENTS TO MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

In view of the proposed changes in Listing Rules in respect of corporate governance which took effect on 1 April 2012 on (i) enabling requisition by shareholders in appointing director and (ii) removal of the 5% exemption for voting by a director on a board resolution in which he has an interest, the Company takes the opportunity to further amend its constitution as follows:

  1. To tidy up the object clause of the Memorandum of Association

With the amendments of the Companies Ordinance in 2000, the objects for which a company incorporated in Hong Kong may be unrestricted. As such, it is proposed that the whole object clause be removed and be replaced by a statement to such effect.

  1. To tidy up the name clause and the register office clause of the Memorandum of Association

It is intended that with a reprint of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the current name of the Company be stated in the name clause and the current name of Hong Kong be set out in the registered office clause.

3. To tidy up the definition article of the Articles of Association

It is intended that with a reprint of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the definition concerning the name of the Company be restated and that definition concerning electronic communication, documents and notices in writing and the reference of certain terms in the Companies Ordinance be stated for clarity.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. To provide details of extraordinary general meeting requisition procedure in the Articles of Association

The procedure for shareholder requisition for extraordinary general meeting for Hong Kong incorporated company are set out in section 113 of the Companies Ordinance. They are reproduced in the Articles of Association. In addition to requisition for the appointment of director, shareholders may requisite meeting to discuss other businesses. In view of the short time frame within which the Board should convene an extraordinary general meeting as requested by shareholder, the quorum of board meeting solely for the convening of such general meeting is relaxed, as provided in the Companies Ordinance.

  1. To remove the 5% exemption for voting by a director on a board resolution in which he has an interest

The new rule 13.44 of the Listing Rules removes the 5% exemption for voting by a director on a board resolution in which he has an interest. The relevant provisions in the Articles of Association shall also be removed accordingly.

  1. To provide summary financial statements, selection of language in corporate communications and serving of notices and documents by electronic means

Currently, the Articles of Association of the Company only provides for the despatch by post of corporate information (including annual reports and accounts in full form only and in both English and Chinese) to registered address of shareholders or publication in newspaper. While it is still not cost effective to provide for summary report and electronic communication as allowed by the Companies Ordinance, it is proposed that the Articles of Association of the Company be amended while the implementation shall be as may be resolved by the Board, when it deems appropriate.

Detailed amendments of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company are set out in Appendix 3 to this document.

VOTING PROCEDURE

Pursuant to rules 13.39(4) and 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules, the vote of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting will be taken by poll and a scrutineer will be appointed by the Company for vote taking at the Annual General Meeting. The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under rule 13.39(5).

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors are of the opinion that the general mandates to issue Shares and the Repurchase Proposal, the re-election of Directors and the amendments to Memorandum and Articles of Association are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and therefore recommend that you vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

APPENDIX 1

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

Set out below further information of the Repurchase Proposal.

Shareholders’ Approval

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for Shareholders’ approval whereby the Directors will be given a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase issued Shares subject to the criteria set out in this document.

While it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstances in which the Directors might think it is appropriate to repurchase securities, the Directors believe that the grant of a general mandate to repurchase securities to a maximum of 10 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company as at the date the resolution is passed, of 308,502,188 Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date, would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial. The repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such purchases in circumstances where they consider them to be in the best interests of the Company. On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2011 (being the date to which the latest published audited accounts of the Company have been made up) and in particular the working capital or gearing position of the Company at that time and the number of Shares in issue, the Directors consider that there may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed purchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed purchase period. However, no purchase would be made in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the financial position as at 31 December 2011).

Source of Funds

The Company is empowered by its Memorandum and Articles of Association to purchase its Shares. Purchase of Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of Hong Kong.

Directors and connected persons

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of the associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of any of the Directors have any present intention, in the event that the grant to the Directors of a repurchase mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.

No persons who are connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor have they undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the

– 7 –

APPENDIX 1

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make purchases of Shares. In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company shall not knowingly purchase Shares from a connected person on the Stock Exchange.

Undertaking to the Stock Exchange

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Hong Kong, the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated, and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.

Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers

If, as a result of a share repurchase, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code and, if such increase results in a change in control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a general offer for shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, and according to the register of substantial shareholders’ interests maintained pursuant to Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571) of the Laws of Hong Kong, the following Shareholders were interested in 5 per cent. or more of the issued share capital of the Company:

APPENDIX 1

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

Notes:

  1. These 1,183,598,636 Shares were duplicated in the interests held by Jetcote Investments Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Aerospace Science & Technology Corporation, and its subsidiaries.

  2. Both Burhill Company Limited and Sin King Enterprises Company Limited are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Jetcote Investments Limited. The Shares held by them form part of the total number of Shares in which Jetcote Investments Limited was deemed interested.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, then (if the above shareholdings otherwise remain the same) the attributable shareholdings of China Aerospace Science & Technology Corporation, Jetcote Investments Limited, Burhill Company Limited and Sin King Enterprises Company Limited in the Company would be increased to approximately 42.63 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase would give rise to China Aerospace Science & Technology Corporation an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and do not have the intention to repurchase the Shares to such extent at present. The Directors are not aware of any other consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchases by the Company of its Shares.
