CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(I) PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES, (II) PROPOSED ADOPTION OF NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME, (III) PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND

(IV) NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding Ordinary Resolutions to be proposed at the AGM for, inter alia, (i) the granting to the Directors of general mandates for the issue and repurchase of Shares; (ii) the extension of the general mandates to issue additional Shares; (iii) the adoption of the 2012 Share Option Scheme; and (iv) the re-election of three Directors and the other relevant information regarding the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting held on 12 May 2011, resolutions were passed by the then Shareholders giving general unconditional mandates to the Directors to:

  • (a) allot, issue and deal with Shares with a total nominal value not exceeding twenty percent (20%) of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant Ordinary Resolution approving such new issue mandate;

  • (b) repurchase such number of Shares representing up to ten percent (10%) of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant Ordinary Resolution approving such repurchase mandate; and

  • (c) add to the general mandate for issuing Shares set out in paragraph (a) above an amount representing the aggregate nominal value of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company pursuant to the repurchase mandate set out in paragraph (b) above.

The above mentioned general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM to be held on Friday, 18 May 2012. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval to renew these general mandates at the AGM.

The Appendix I to this circular contains an explanatory statement to Repurchase Mandate, as required by Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to the Shareholders to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the Ordinary Resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

New Issue Mandate

At the AGM, an Ordinary Resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors the New Issue Mandate, details of which are set out in Ordinary Resolution no. 4 in the AGM Notice. The Shares which may be allotted, issued and dealt with pursuant to the New Issue Mandate is limited to a maximum of twenty percent (20%) of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the Ordinary Resolution approving the New Issue Mandate. In addition, conditional upon the Ordinary Resolutions to grant to the Directors the New Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate being passed, an Ordinary Resolution will be proposed that the New Issue Mandate be extended so as to authorize the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with further Shares up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate.

5

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the 502,966,933 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued and/or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, if the New Issue Mandate is approved at the AGM, the total number of new Shares that may be issued under the New Issue Mandate will be 100,593,386 Shares, representing 20% of the 502,966,933 Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM. If the New Issue Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, it will be and will continue to be in force from the date of the AGM 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 Company’s Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the passing of an Ordinary Resolution by the Shareholders in a general meeting revoking or varying such mandate, whichever occurs first.

Repurchase Mandate

At the AGM, an Ordinary Resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate, details of which are set out in Ordinary Resolution no. 5 in the AGM Notice. The Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate is limited to a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the Ordinary Resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

With respect to the New Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors confirm that they have no current intention of exercising them.

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2012 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The 2012 Share Option Scheme

The Existing Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 20 April 2002 by way of Shareholder’s resolution. The Existing Share Option Scheme was valid and effective for a period of ten years from its date of adoption. The Existing Share Option Scheme will expire on 20 April 2012. No further options have been and will be granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme upon its expiry. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not adopted any share option scheme. Accordingly, the Company proposes to adopt the 2012 Share Option Scheme which complies with Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 111,862,000 Options was granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 111,862,000 Shares are outstanding. The 3,000,000 Options was granted under the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 3,000,000 Shares will be lapsed as at 29 April 2012. The expiration of the Existing Share Option Scheme will not affect the rights of the 111,862,000 outstanding Options granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme those outstanding Options will continue to be valid and effective.

6

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

At the AGM, an Ordinary Resolution will be proposed for the Company to approve and adopt the 2012 Share Option Scheme, details of which are set out in Ordinary Resolution no. 7 in the AGM Notice, which will take effect on the date of its adoption at the AGM subject to the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of and dealing in the shares to be issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of Options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2012 Share Option Scheme. The purpose of the 2012 Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant Options to the Eligible Participants to motivate the contribution of the employees of the Group and to provide incentives and help the Group in retaining its existing employees and recruiting additional employees and to provide them with a direct economics interest in attaining the long term business objectives of the Group. Eligible Participants to whom Options shall be granted, are entitled to subscribe for the number of Shares at a subscription price specified in each Option granted under the 2012 Share Option Scheme. The basis for determining the subscription price is also specified precisely in the rules of the 2012 Share Option Scheme. There is no performance target specified in the 2012 Share Option Scheme. There is no specified minimum period under the 2012 Share Option Scheme for which an Option must be held pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Share Option Scheme. The Directors consider that the aforesaid criteria and rules will serve to preserve the value of the Company and encourage Eligible Participants to acquire proprietary interests in the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 502,966,933 Shares in issue. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the Adoption Date, the number of Shares issuable pursuant to the 2012 Share Option Scheme on the Adoption Date will be 50,296,693 Shares represents approximately 10% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to state the value of all Options that can be granted pursuant to the 2012 Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date as a number of variables which are crucial for the calculation of the Option value have not been determined. Such variables include but are not limited to the exercise price, exercise period, lock-up period (if any), and predetermined performance targets (if any). The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful and would be misleading to Shareholders.

None of the Directors is trustee of the 2012 Share Option Scheme or has a direct or indirect interest in the trustee. With respect to the operation of the 2012 Share Option Scheme, the Company will, where applicable, comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 23 of the Listing Rules.

Conditions precedent of the 2012 Share Option Scheme

The adoption of the 2012 Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:

  • (a) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of and permission to deal in any Shares which may fall to be issued by the Company pursuant to the exercise of Options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2012 Share Option Scheme; and

  • (b) the passing of an ordinary resolution to adopt the 2012 Share Option Scheme by the shareholders at general meeting.

7

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the obtaining of Shareholders’ approval with respect to the adoption of the 2012 Share Option Scheme at the AGM, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the 2012 Share Option Scheme and any Other Schemes must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total issued capital of the Company as at the Adoption Date unless the Company obtains a fresh approval from Shareholders to renew the 10% limit on the basis that the maximum number of Shares in respect of which Options may be granted under the 2012 Share Option Scheme together with any Options outstanding and yet to be exercised under the 2012 Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes must not exceed 30% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time.

A summary of the principal terms of the 2012 Share Option Scheme which is proposed to be approved and adopted by the Company at the AGM is set out in Appendix III to this circular from pages 17 to 25. A copy of the 2012 Share Option Scheme is available for inspection at the Company’s principal place of business at Units 3101-2A, 31st Floor, The Centrium, 60 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong during normal business hours from the date hereof up to and including the date of the AGM.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO REPURCHASE MANDATE

This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to the Ordinary Resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorizing the Repurchase Mandate. This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 502,966,933 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Ordinary Resolution no. 5 in the AGM Notice and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 50,296,693 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of the Company during the period from the date of the passing of such Ordinary Resolution until (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 or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by Ordinary Resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

2. REASON FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or its earnings per Share of the Company.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and Articles of Association, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not repurchase its own Shares on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate. However, the Company may not repurchase Shares which would result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25 per cent.

The GEM Listing Rules prohibit the Company from knowingly purchasing its securities on GEM 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.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2012 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX III

This appendix sets out further information of the 2012 Share Option Scheme and also summarises the rules of the 2012 Share Option Scheme but does not form part of nor was it intended to be, part of the 2012 Share Option Scheme nor should it be taken as affecting the interpretation of the rules of the 2012 Share Option Scheme:

2012 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Summary of terms

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the 2012 Share Option Scheme proposed to be approved by a resolution of the Shareholders at the AGM, notice of which is set out on pages 26 to 31 of this circular:

  • (a) Purpose of the 2012 Share Option Scheme

The purpose of the 2012 Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant Options to the Eligible Participants in order to recognize and motivate the contribution of the employees of the Group and to provide incentives and help the Group in retaining its existing employees and recruiting additional employees and to provide them with a direct economics interest in attaining the long term business objectives of the Group.

  • (b) Administration of the 2012 Share Option Scheme

The 2012 Share Option Scheme shall be subject to the administration by the Board which may include a duly authorised committee thereof and the decision of the Board shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

  • (c) Grant and acceptance of Options

Subject to the terms of the 2012 Share Option Scheme, the Board may, in its absolute discretion, invite any Eligible Participant to take up Options to subscribe for Shares at a price calculated in accordance with paragraph (d) below. The Eligible Participants will be any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries including any executive and non-executive directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and any suppliers, consultants, agents and advisers.

An offer of the grant of an Option shall be made to Eligible Participants in writing (and unless so made shall be invalid) in such form as the Board may from time to time determine and shall remain open for acceptance by the Eligible Participant concerned for a period of 28 days from the date upon which it is made provided that no such offer shall be open for acceptance after the earlier of the 10th anniversary of the Adoption Date or the termination of the 2012 Share Option Scheme or the Eligible Participant to whom such offer is made has ceased to be an Eligible Participant.

17

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2012 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX III

A non-refundable nominal consideration of HK$1.00 is payable by the grantee upon acceptance of an Option. An Option shall be deemed to have been accepted when the duplicate letter comprising acceptance of the Option duly signed by the Eligible Participant together with the said consideration of HK$1.00 is received by the Company.

Any offer of the grant of an Option may be accepted in respect of less than the number of Shares in respect of which it is offered provided that it is accepted in such number of Shares as represents a board lot for the time being for the purpose of trading on GEM or an integral multiple thereof.

(d) Exercise of Options and Price of Shares

An Option may be exercised in whole or in part by the grantee giving notice in writing to the Company stating that the Option is thereby exercised and the number of Shares in respect of which it is exercised. Each such notice must be accompanied by a remittance for the full amount of the subscription price for the Shares in respect of which the notice is given. Within 28 days after receipt of the notice and the remittance and, where appropriate, receipt of the certificate of the Company’s auditors or independent financial advisers, the Company shall allot and issue the relevant Shares to the grantee (or his legal personal representative(s)) credited as fully paid.

Shares to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of an Option will be subject to all the provisions of the Articles of Association for the time being in force and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing fully paid Shares in issue on the date on which the Option is duly exercised or, if that date falls on a day when the register of members of the Company is closed, the first day of the re-opening of the register of members (the “Exercise Date”) and accordingly will entitle the holders thereof to participate in all dividends or other distributions paid or made on or after the Exercise Date other than any dividend or other distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made if the record date therefor shall be before the Exercise Date. A Share allotted upon the exercise of an Option shall not carry voting rights until the name of the grantee has been duly entered onto the register of members of the Company as the holder thereof.

The exercise price for Shares under the 2012 Share Option Scheme may be determined by the Board at its absolute discretion but in any event will not be less than the highest of: (i) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheet of the Stock Exchange on the date of grant, which must be a Business Day; (ii) the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets of the Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant; and (iii) the nominal value of the Share on the date of grant.

(e) Maximum number of Shares available for issue

  • (i) Subject to the Listing Rules, the overall limit on the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the 2012 Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not exceed 30% of the relevant class of Shares in issue from time to time. No Options may be granted under the 2012 Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company if this will result in this limit being exceeded.

18

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2012 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX III

  • (ii) Subject to the limit mentioned in (e)(i) above, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the 2012 Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company adopted by the Group must not, in aggregate, exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the approval of the 2012 Share Option Scheme (the “Scheme Mandate Limit”), unless Shareholders’ approval has been obtained pursuant to sub-paragraphs (iii) and (iv) below. Options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the 2012 Share Option Scheme will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.

  • (iii) Subject to the limit mentioned in (e)(i) above, the Company may refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit at any time subject to approval of the Shareholders in general meeting, provided that the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date. Options previously granted under the 2012 Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with such schemes or exercised Options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating this limit. The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders containing such information as required under the GEM Listing Rules.

  • (iv) Subject to the limit mentioned in (e)(i) above, the Company may also seek separate approval of the Shareholders in general meeting for granting Options beyond the Scheme Mandate Limit provided that the Options in excess of the Scheme Mandate Limit are granted only to Eligible Participants specifically identified by the Company before such approval is sought. The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders containing a generic description of the specified Eligible Participants, the number and terms of Options to be granted, the purpose of granting Options to the specified Eligible Participants with an explanation as to how the terms of the Options serve such purpose and such other information as required under the GEM Listing Rules.

  • (f) Grant of Options to connected persons or any of their associates

Any grant of Options to a connected person (including but not limited to a Director, chief executive or substantial Shareholder) or its associates must be approved by the independent non-executive Directors (excluding any independent non-executive Director who is the grantee of the Options). Where Options are proposed to be granted to a connected person who is also a substantial Shareholder or an independent non-executive Director or their respective associates and if such grant would result in the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the Options granted and to be granted (including Options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) in any 12-month period up to and including the date of grant to such person representing in aggregate over 0.1 % of the total issued Shares and having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the securities at the date of each grant, in excess of HK$5 million, then the proposed grant must be subject to the approval of Shareholders taken on a poll in a general meeting. All connected persons of the Company must abstain from voting at such general meeting (except where any connected person intends to vote against the proposed grant provided that his intention to do so has been stated in the shareholders’ circular to be issued as stated below).

19

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2012 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX III

A circular must be prepared by the Company explaining the proposed grant, disclosing (i) the number and terms of the Options to be granted, (ii) containing a recommendation from the independent non-executive Directors (excluding any independent non-executive Director who is a grantee) on whether or not to vote in favour of the proposed grant, (iii) containing information relating to any Directors who are trustees of the scheme or have a direct or indirect interest in the trustees.

Any change in the terms of Options granted to a connected person or its associates must be approved by Shareholders in a general meeting.

(g) Maximum entitlement of each Eligible Participant

The total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted to each Eligible Participant or grantee (including exercised and outstanding options) in any twelve (12)-month period up to the date of grant shall not exceed 1% of the Shares in issue. Where it is proposed that any offer is to be made to an Eligible Participant (or where approximate, an existing grantee) which would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options granted and to be granted to such person (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in the twelve (12)-month period up to and including the relevant date of grant to exceed such limit, such offer and any acceptance thereof must be conditional upon Shareholders’ approval in general meeting with such Eligible Participant (or where appropriate, an existing grantee) and his, her or its associates abstaining from voting. The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders disclosing the identity of the Eligible Participant or grantee, the number and terms of options to be granted (and options previously granted) to such Eligible Participant, the information required under the Listing Rules. The number and terms (including the subscription price) of options to be granted to such Eligible Participant must be fixed before the date on which Shareholders’ approval is sought and the date of the Board meeting for proposing such further grant should be taken as the date of grant for the purpose of calculating the subscription price.

(h) Time of Exercise of Options

Subject to the terms of the 2012 Share Option Scheme, an Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the period to be determined and identified by the Board to each grantee at the time of making an offer for the grant of an Option, but in any event no later than 10 years from the date of grant but subject to the early termination of the 2012 Share Option Scheme (the “Option Period”).

There is no specified minimum period under the 2012 Share Option Scheme for which an Option must be held or the performance target which must be achieved before an Option can be exercised under the terms of the 2012 Share Option Scheme.

(i) Restrictions on the time of grant of Options

Grant of Options may not be made after a price sensitive event has occurred or a price sensitive matter has been the subject of a decision until such price sensitive information has been announced in accordance with the relevant requirements of the GEM Listing Rules. In particular, no Option may be granted during the period commencing 30 days immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the date of the Board meeting for the approval of the Company’s quarterly or interim results (and 60 days in the event of annual results) and (ii) the deadline for the Company to publish its quarterly, interim or annual results announcement and ending on the date of such results announcement.
