EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide all the information in relation to the Repurchase Mandate for your consideration.

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 circular.

As at Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 2,142,419,902 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would result in up to 214,241,990 Shares representing not more than 10% of the total nominal value of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. 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 2005 (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 now 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 2005).

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, which would be the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities.

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.

– 6 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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 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 and a connected person shall not knowingly sell his Shares to the Company.

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.
