EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information as to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,391,831,750 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 139,183,175 Shares, which represents 10% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution until the earliest of:

• (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or

• (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of the Company or the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or

• (iii) revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed. Share repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the Companies Law.

– 10 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the 2014 Annual Report). However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

The Shares are trading on the Stock Exchange and the highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the following months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

	Highest	Lowest
	HK$	HK$
April 2014	1.44	1.21
May 2014	1.24	1.00
June 2014	1.31	1.11
July 2014	1.36	1.22
August 2014	1.56	1.27
September 2014	1.58	1.32
October 2014	1.44	1.24
November 2014	1.31	1.11
December 2014	1.15	0.92
January 2015	1.08	0.96
February 2015	1.00	0.89
March 2015	1.18	0.97
1 April 2015 to the Latest Practicable Date	1.32	1.00

6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases when the Company exercises 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 Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, as far as the Directors are aware, substantial Shareholders having interests in 10% or more in the issued share capital of the Company are as follows:

			Approximate
			percentage of
			interest in the
		Number of	issued share
Name of		Shares	capital of the
Shareholders	Nature of interest	interested	Company
Mr. John Zhang1	Beneficiary of interest	628,513,550	45.16%
	in a controlled corporation,
	and interest of child
	under 18
Fonty Holdings	Beneficial owner	575,683,844	41.36%
Limited
Ms. Carrie Wang2	Spouse interest	628,513,550	45.16%

Note:

• (1) Mr. John Zhang legally owns the entire issued share capital of Fonty Holdings Limited, which beneficially owns 575,683,844 Shares. Mr. John Zhang is therefore deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by Fonty Holdings Limited. For the purposes of the SFO, Mr. Zhang is also deemed to be interested in 47,829,706 Shares which are beneficially owned by Mr. Alan Zhang, Mr. Zhang’s child under the age of 18, as beneficiary of Zhang Trusts For Descendants, which is an irrevocable trust set up by Mr. Zhang for the benefit of his descendants and of which J.P. Morgan Trust Company of Delaware is the trustee. In addition, Mr. Zhang is also deemed to be interested in 5,000,000 Shares which may be issued to him upon the exercise of the share options granted to him on 28 June 2012.

• (2) Ms. Carrie Wang is the spouse of Mr. John Zhang, therefore, pursuant to the SFO, she is deemed to be interested in all the Shares in which Mr. John Zhang is interested.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, the Controlling Shareholders of the Company, who together control the exercise of approximately 44.80% voting rights in the general meeting of the Company.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the indirect voting right of the Controlling Shareholders in the Company would increase to approximately 49.78% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full to repurchase the Shares will trigger an obligation on the part of the Controlling Shareholders to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not have any present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as will trigger such obligation under the Takeovers Code.

– 12 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the previous six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

8. GENERAL

None of the Directors, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their close associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Cayman Islands and the regulations set out in the Articles of the Company.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.
