LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the 2012 AGM, general mandates were granted to the Directors authorising them, inter alia, (a) to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 30 May 2012; (b) to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 30 May 2012; and (c) to extend the general mandate to issue Shares by the number of Shares purchased under the repurchase mandate mentioned in (b) above. Such general mandates would expire at the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the AGM or (ii) the date on which the ordinary resolutions approving such mandates are revoked or varied by the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company. Such mandate has not been utilised as at the Latest Practicable Date and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

Accordingly, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors general mandates authorising them, inter alia, (a) to exercise the power of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of such resolution; (b) to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of such resolution and (c) subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolutions to approve the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM, to extend the Issue Mandate by the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 2,984,284,168 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to approve the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to issue up to a maximum of 596,856,833 Shares under the Issue Mandate (assuming the Repurchase Mandate has not been utilized) and to repurchase up to a maximum of 298,428,416 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Issue Mandate to issue and allot Shares and to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares.

An explanatory statement providing all the information required under the Listing Rules regarding the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme on 30 May 2012 in compliance with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules after expiry of 2002 Share Option Scheme on 27 May 2012. Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other scheme(s) of the Company (if any) shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the Share Option Scheme. The Scheme Mandate Limit may be refreshed by the Shareholders in general meeting from time to time provided that:

  • (i) the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit;

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other scheme(s) of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the Share Option Scheme and any other scheme(s) of the Company) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed; and

  • (iii) the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other scheme(s) of the Company (if any) must not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time.

At the 2012 AGM, the Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed to allow the Company to grant options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of approval of such refreshment, which amounted to 142,872,916 Shares.

During the period from the 2012 AGM and up to the Latest Practicable Date, no Options have lapsed and no Options were granted, exercised or cancelled under the 2002 Share Option Scheme or the Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were Options which remain outstanding and unexercised under the 2002 Share Option Scheme to which the holders were entitled to subscribe 24,616,000 Shares representing approximately 0.82% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Based on 2,984,284,168 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares are issued and repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, if the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is approved at the AGM, the Scheme Mandate Limit will be refreshed to 298,428,416 Shares and the Company will be allowed to grant options under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company (if any) entitling holders thereof to subscribe for a maximum of 298,428,416 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

To the extent that there are any unutilised options under the Scheme Mandate Limit as approved by the Shareholders on 30 May 2012, all such unutilised options will be considered as lapsed upon the approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM and the Company will not be allowed to grant any further options pursuant thereto. No options may be granted if it would result in the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company (if any) exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

The Directors consider that given the increase in issued share capital of the Company after the 2012 AGM as a result of the subscription for 1,555,555,000 Shares by Jade Bird Strategic Investment (details of which please refer to the announcement and the circular of the Company dated 17 October 2012 and 15 November 2012 respectively), the Company should refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit so that the Company will have more flexibility to provide incentives or rewards to participants for their contribution to the Group and/or to enable the Group to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group. The Directors consider that the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will be for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional on:

  • (a) the passing of the necessary resolution to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the AGM; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, such number of Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the options granted under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit. Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the grant of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the Articles of Association, Mr. Xu Zhendong, Mr. Zhang Wanzhong, Mr. Zong Hao, Mr. Tian Wenwei, Mr. Xu Zhuliang, Mr. Benjamin Clark Danielson, Mr. Zhang Yongli, Mr. Lu Binghui and Mr. Lee Ping will retire from office and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,984,284,168 fully paid up Shares of HK$0.10 each. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 298,428,416 fully paid up Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the value of the net assets and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the laws of Hong Kong. The Companies Ordinance provides that a share repurchase may only be made out of the distributable profits of the Company and/ or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares.

As compared to the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2012 (being the date of the Company’s latest audited accounts), the Directors consider that the repurchases of securities could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not, however, 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST

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

No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that if they shall exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate they will exercise the same in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Hong Kong and all applicable laws.

6. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2012
April 0.72 0.59
May 0.63 0.55
June 0.58 0.455
July 0.54 0.325
August 0.49 0.33
September 0.53 0.35

2013

7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

There have been no repurchases by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, of any Shares in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

8. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a shareholder ’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Directors exercising the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ information, belief and knowledge, Belton Light Limited, which is wholly owned by Jade Bird Energy Fund II, L.P., together with its associates or parties acting in concert with Belton Light Limited, are able to exercise or control the exercise of approximately 52.9% of the voting rights in general meeting of the Company. Save as aforesaid, no other Shareholder held more than 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased and there is no change in shareholding structure, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would not give rise to any obligation for Belton Light Limited and its associates or any parties acting in concert with Belton Light Limited to make mandatory offers for all Shares not already owned by it or its concert parties under the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not have any present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in the Company failing to comply with the public float requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.
