To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES AND ISSUE OF BONUS CONVERTIBLE NOTES TO FULFIL THE MINIMUM PUBLIC FLOAT REQUIREMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

As mentioned in the Bonus Issue and Share Consolidation Announcement, the Board has decided to make a bonus issue of new Shares, credited as fully-paid, on the basis of four (4) Bonus Shares for every one (1) existing Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appeared on the Register on the Record Date for the sole purpose of the restoration of the minimum public float of the Shares prescribed under Rule 8.08(1) of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this document is to set out further information in relation to the Bonus Issue (including the option to elect to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all (or part) of their entitlements to the Bonus Shares).

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A summary of the principal terms and conditions of the Bonus Convertible Notes, including circumstances in which the Bonus Convertible Notes can be converted, is set out in the Appendix on pages 19 to 33 of this document.

2. BONUS ISSUE

Basis of the Bonus Issue

In order to comply with Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules, which requires at least 25% of the Company’s total issued share capital to be held by the public at all times, pursuant to the mandate granted to it by an ordinary resolution passed at the SGM, the Board proposed to make a bonus issue of new Shares, credited as fully-paid, on the basis of four (4) Bonus Shares for every one (1) existing Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appeared on the Register on the Record Date. The Bonus Issue will be effected by way of capitalisation of an amount standing to the credit of the Company’s retained earnings account.

Each Qualifying Shareholder (other than those as shown on the Register with registered addresses in Australia and California, the United States) will be given the option to elect to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all (or part) of the Qualifying Shareholder’s entitlements to the Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue. The amount of Bonus Convertible Notes which the Qualifying Shareholders (other than those Qualifying Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and California, the United States) are entitled to receive in lieu of their entitlements to the Bonus Shares will be calculated as follows:

The number of Shares held on Amount of Bonus the Record Date for which Convertible Notes = x 4 x HK$0.10 Bonus Convertible Notes are to be received elected in lieu of Bonus Shares

The Bonus Convertible Notes will be unlisted, will carry no voting rights at general meetings of the Company and will have no maturity date, but will confer upon the holders thereof substantially the same economic interest attached to the Shares (including rights to receive payments representing any dividends declared and paid, assets distributed, and shares or other securities issued under a capitalisation issue or scrip dividend scheme of the Company, to Shareholders as if the outstanding Bonus Convertible Notes held by them had been converted on the relevant record date) which the electing Shareholders would otherwise be entitled to receive under the Bonus Issue had such Shareholders not elected for the Bonus Convertible Notes. In the absence of such election or, in the case of Qualifying Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and California, the United States, the exclusion of the right to elect to receive Bonus Convertible Notes, a Shareholder will receive Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue.

Reasons for the Bonus Issue

Under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules, at least 25% of the Company’s total issued share capital must at all times be held by the public. Following the close of the Offer on Wednesday, 16 May 2012 and the cancellation of all the Shares in respect of which the Offer has been accepted, only 101,441,689 Shares, representing approximately 6.41% of the issued Shares (which is lower than the minimum prescribed percentage of 25% applicable to the Company) are held by the public. Pursuant

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

to Note 1 to Rule 8.08(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange has been suspended since 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 17 May 2012 since the percentage of public float in the Shares has fallen below 15% following the close of the Offer and the cancellation of all the Shares in respect of which the Offer has been accepted.

As mentioned in the Offer Announcement and the Offer Circular, the Company intends to remain to be listed on the Stock Exchange and subject to the Offer being declared or becoming unconditional in all respects, and if necessary and feasible, the Company intends to restore the minimum public float of the Shares by way of the Bonus Issue. In light of the insufficient public float in the Shares, the Board has considered a number of options to fulfil the public float requirement. Following the close of the Offer and taking into consideration the level of acceptances of the Offer and the number of Shares remaining in the hands of public Shareholders, the Board concluded that the Bonus Issue alone is a feasible and practical solution to restore the minimum public float of the Shares if Shareholders other than Asian Motion do not elect to receive Bonus Convertible Notes.

The PCCW Group has been requested to, and PCCW has confirmed that it will, elect for the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all of its entitlement to the Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue. The Board does not expect Shareholders (other than Asian Motion) to elect to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes which carry no voting rights at general meetings of the Company and will be unlisted and irredeemable and therefore not readily tradeable notwithstanding its transferability.

Advice and Recommendation from the Financial Adviser

The Board has engaged Anglo Chinese to advise it on addressing the public float requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules, which requires that not less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company must be held by the public at all times. Anglo Chinese has advised that the Bonus Issue has the following advantages:

  • (i) it preserves the equity interest of all Shareholders who receive the Bonus Shares only, and in the case of the PCCW Group and any other Shareholders who elect to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes, their equity interest would be preserved upon full conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes;

  • (ii) all Shareholders will be treated equally;

  • (iii) no capital raising will be required, which would potentially incur significant expenses and may have dilutive effects on existing Shareholders’ shareholding in the Company; and

  • (iv) it will not be subject to or dependent on market conditions.

Anglo Chinese has advised the Board that it should recommend the public Shareholders NOT to elect to receive any Bonus Convertible Notes which carry no voting rights at general meetings of the Company and will be unlisted and irredeemable and therefore not readily tradeable notwithstanding its transferability. The Bonus Convertible Notes cannot be readily realisable other than by converting them into shares in the Company and subsequently selling them in the market. Furthermore, there is no redemption date for the Bonus Convertible Notes. On a voluntary dissolution, liquidation or

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

winding up of the Company, the Bonus Convertible Notes will be mandatorily converted into shares in the Company at the then applicable conversion price; and on an involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, the Bonus Convertible Noteholders whose Bonus Convertible Notes are cancelled not as a result of a conversion but as a result of an involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company the same amount and at the same time as are paid with respect to the shares in the Company; and the rights of the Bonus Convertible Noteholders do not have priority over other Shareholders.

The Company has requested PCCW to, and PCCW has confirmed that it will, procure Asian Motion to elect for the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all of its entitlements to the Bonus Shares. Asian Motion will remain as the controlling Shareholder following completion of the Bonus Issue. Assuming that no other Shareholder elects to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of its/his/her entitlements under the Bonus Issue and there are no other changes to the shareholding structure of the Company, the PCCW Group will hold approximately 74.49% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately following completion of the Bonus Issue. As PCCW is and will remain the indirect controlling Shareholder, the disadvantages of holding part of its interest in the Company in the form of the Bonus Convertible Notes arising from the election for the Bonus Convertible Notes, are not significant to PCCW. PCCW will still have considerable flexibility in being able to trade part of its current shareholdings, should it so wish, before reducing its shareholdings in the Company to 50% or less. Any such trading can then be replenished by conversion of the corresponding amount of the Bonus Convertible Notes. Accordingly, the marketability of the Bonus Convertible Notes does not have the same significance to Asian Motion as it does to public Shareholders. In economic terms, the Bonus Convertible Notes have no advantages over the Shares and in terms of rights, they have less than the Shares. No benefit is being conferred on Asian Motion through its election for the Bonus Convertible Notes. PCCW has agreed to procure Asian Motion to elect for the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all its entitlements to the Bonus Shares in order to facilitate the Company’s fulfilment of the minimum public float requirement as prescribed under the Listing Rules, or else the purpose of the Bonus Issue may not be achieved.

Anglo Chinese has advised the Directors to recommend that all Shareholders, other than Asian Motion, NOT to elect to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes as doing so will not be in their interests and will defeat the sole objective of the Bonus Issue for the Company to fulfil the minimum public float requirement as prescribed under the Listing Rules.

Recommendation from the Board

Based on the advice of Anglo Chinese as aforesaid, the Board therefore recommends that all Shareholders, other than Asian Motion, NOT to elect to receive any Bonus Convertible Notes as the Bonus Convertible Notes carry no voting rights at general meetings of the Company and are unlisted and irredeemable and therefore not readily tradeable notwithstanding its transferability. There is therefore no benefit to the public Shareholders holding the Bonus Convertible Notes. Furthermore, public Shareholders electing to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes may jeopardise the objective of the Bonus Issue for the Company to meet the minimum public float requirement prescribed under the Listing Rules. However, the decision in regard to receiving Bonus Shares or Bonus Convertible Notes and all effects resulting therefrom are the sole responsibility of each Qualifying

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholder. If you are in doubt as to what to do, you should consult your professional advisers. Qualifying Shareholders who are trustees are recommended to seek professional advice as to whether the choice of the Bonus Convertible Notes is within their powers and as to its effect having regard to the terms of the relevant trust instrument.

Number of Bonus Shares and Amount of Bonus Convertible Notes to be issued

As at the Record Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,582,775,022 and accordingly the Bonus Issue would give rise to the issue of 405,766,756 Bonus Shares in the absence of any Shareholder other than Asian Motion electing to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all or any of its/his/her entitlements under the Bonus Issue and assuming that all Shareholders are Qualifying Shareholders. In order to facilitate the Company to comply with the minimum public float requirement prescribed under the Listing Rules, which requires that not less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company shall be held by the public at all times, PCCW, as the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company, has confirmed to the Company that it will procure Asian Motion to elect to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all its entitlements to the Bonus Shares in respect of all the Shares registered in its name on the Record Date. As at the Latest Practicable Date, PCCW, through Asian Motion, indirectly owned a total of 1,481,333,333 Shares, representing approximately 93.59% of the issued share capital of the Company. Set out below is the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and upon completion of the Bonus Issue (assuming all Shareholders are Qualifying Shareholders, no Shareholders other than Asian Motion will elect to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of their entitlements to the Bonus Shares and there being no other changes in the share capital structure of the Company):

— 9 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In the absence of any Shareholders other than Asian Motion electing to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of their entitlements to the Bonus Shares, Bonus Convertible Notes in the principal amount of HK$592,533,333.20 would be issued under the Bonus Issue.

Since the Bonus Issue is made on the basis of four (4) Bonus Share for every one (1) existing Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date, there will not be any fractional entitlements to the Bonus Shares.

Pursuant to the Bye-laws, the Company may resolve by ordinary resolution to capitalise all or any part of the amount standing to the credit of any reserve or fund (including the profit and loss account) whether or not the same is available for distribution and to apply such amount in or towards paying up in full unissued shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company. The total amount to be capitalised from the retained earnings account of the Company for the issue of Bonus Shares pursuant to the Bonus Issue and the issue of new Shares upon conversion of all the Bonus Convertible Notes will be approximately HK$633,110,008.80. As at 31 December 2011, the Company had in its account retained earnings of an amount of approximately HK$1,890 million.

Condition of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue is conditional upon the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares and the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes.

Principal terms of the Bonus Convertible Notes

The principal terms of the Bonus Convertible Notes are set out below:

Principal Amount Up to an amount equal to the maximum number of Bonus Shares issuable under the Bonus Issue, following the cancellation of Shares tendered and accepted under the Offer, multiplied by the nominal value per Bonus Share, in the denomination of HK$0.10 per unit of the Bonus Convertible Notes. Conversion Price HK$0.10 per Share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Deed Poll. Mandatory Conversion On voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, the Bonus Convertible Notes will be mandatorily converted into Shares at the then applicable conversion price.

— 10 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

No Redemption The Bonus Convertible Notes will not be subject to redemption. Conversion Period At any time after the issue of the Bonus Convertible Notes, and the conversion date will be deemed to be the 30th Stock Exchange Business Day following surrender of the Bonus Convertible Notes certificates by the Bonus Convertible Noteholder with a notice of conversion and the Bonus Convertible Noteholder will be deemed to be the holder of the Shares so converted with effect from the aforesaid conversion date.

If and to the extent that the minimum public float requirements in respect of the Shares under the Listing Rules could not be complied with immediately after the purported exercise of the conversion rights of any holder of the Bonus Convertible Notes, such holder shall not be entitled to exercise such conversion rights.

Distributions

Convertible Noteholder would have become a holder of, had such Bonus Convertible Noteholder’s Bonus Convertible Notes then outstanding been converted on the relevant record date for determining entitlement to the Capitalisation Issue, or (b) further convertible notes on the same terms and conditions as the Bonus Convertible Notes in such amount which would on conversion thereof entitle the Bonus Convertible Noteholders of such convertible notes to such number of Shares as is equal to (1) the number of Shares receivable by the Shareholders in respect of each issued Share held by them under the Capitalisation Issue, multiplied by (2) the number of Shares which the Bonus Convertible Noteholder would have become a holder of, had such Bonus Convertible Noteholder’s Bonus Convertible Notes then outstanding been converted on the relevant record date for determining entitlement to the Capitalisation Issue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Status of the Bonus Shares and Shares issuable upon conversion of Bonus Convertible Notes

The Bonus Shares and the shares in the Company which may fall to be allotted and issued on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes, upon issue, will rank pari passu in all respects with the shares in the Company then in issue on the date of such allotment and issue, including the entitlement to receive dividends and other distributions the record date of which is on or after the date of allotment and issue of those Bonus Shares. Before conversion, the Bonus Convertible Notes do not carry voting rights at general meetings of the Company.

Record Date and closure of the Register

To qualify for the Bonus Issue, a Shareholder must on the Record Date be registered as a member of the Company and not be an Excluded Shareholder.

In order to determine the list of Shareholders who were entitled to the Bonus Issue, the Register was closed on Wednesday, 30 May 2012, on which date no transfer of Shares was registered.

Effect of the Bonus Issue

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had outstanding (i) Options entitling the holder thereof to subscribe for 5,000,000 new Shares at the exercise price of HK$2.375 per Share (subject to adjustment); and (ii) the 2014 Convertible Note which was convertible into 672,222,222 new Shares at the conversion price of HK$3.60 per Share (subject to adjustment). In addition, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Subscription Agreement, the CN Issuer may issue the 2019 Convertible Note which, if issued, will be in the principal amount of HK$2,904,000,000 or the redemption amount of the 2014 Convertible Note due and not repaid at its maturity on Friday, 9 May 2014 (whichever is less) and is convertible into shares in the Company at a conversion price to be set on the issue date of the 2019 Convertible Note to be equal to 140% of the 20 trading day average of the closing prices of the Shares ended on such issue date, but not less than the Minimum Conversion Price (which Minimum Conversion Price and the conversion price so set are subject to adjustment).

If the Bonus Issue alone is implemented without the Share Consolidation, (i) it will lead to an adjustment to the subscription price and/or the number of shares of the Company which may fall to be issued upon exercise of such Options; and (ii) as mentioned in the Offer Circular, an adjustment to the Minimum Conversion Price and to the conversion price of the 2014 Convertible Note appropriate in the case of a bonus issue will be applied as if all Shareholders had not elected to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes.

Although the maximum number of the Bonus Shares issuable under the Bonus Issue was determined to be 405,766,756 (taking into account that PCCW has confirmed that it will procure Asian Motion to elect for the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all of its entitlements to the Bonus Shares, and in the absence of any Shareholder other than Asian Motion electing to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all or any of its/his/her entitlements under the Bonus Issue and assuming that all Shareholders are Qualifying Shareholders), the Share Consolidation is subject to the fulfillment of all the necessary conditions. As such, the Company will make further announcement regarding the adjustments (if any) to the outstanding Options, the conversion price of the 2014 Convertible Notes, the Minimum Conversion Price as and when appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Save for the Options and the 2014 Convertible Notes, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities to subscribe for any securities of the Company.

Shareholders should note that the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Convertible Notes to be issued under the Bonus Issue may give rise to disclosure requirements under Part XV of the SFO. Shareholders who are in any doubt as to how these provisions may affect them as a result of the issue of the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Convertible Notes are recommended to consult their own professional advisers. Shareholders who are in any doubt as to their taxation position are also recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

Overseas Shareholders

This document, the Election Form and the issue of the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Convertible Notes in relation to the Bonus Issue will not be registered under any securities legislation outside Hong Kong. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were certain Shareholders whose addresses as shown in the Register were in Australia, the PRC, Macau and California, the United States. The Board has made enquiries with its legal advisers as to the laws in such jurisdictions pursuant to Rule 13.36(2) of the Listing Rules. Based on the advice from its legal advisers in such jurisdictions, the Board will extend the Bonus Issue and the option to elect to receive Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all or part of Shareholders’ entitlements to the Bonus Shares only to those Overseas Shareholders whose names appeared on the Register on the Record Date with registered addresses in the PRC and Macau. This document and the Election Form have been sent to such Shareholders.

The Company’s legal advisers on the laws of Australia have advised that references in this document and the Election Form to the ability of Shareholders to elect for Bonus Convertible Notes may constitute an “offer” and as such, may be subject to disclosure requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the “Corporations Act”). In particular, Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act requires a company to provide offerees of “securities” with a disclosure document such as a prospectus that meets Australian disclosure standards. As such, there may be legal restrictions on the Company’s ability to provide the option to elect to receive Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all or part of Shareholders’ entitlements to the Bonus Shares (“Option to Elect”) to Shareholders whose names appeared on the Register on the Record Date with registered addresses in Australia.

The Company’s legal advisers on the laws of the United States have advised that the election between the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Convertible Notes could be viewed as an investment decision and therefore could be treated like a rights offering for United States securities laws purposes, and could require compliance with Rule 801 under the United States federal securities laws. The Rule 801 requirements include certain legend requirements, submission to the Securities Exchange Commission of the United States (the “SEC”) of documents otherwise circulated to non-US holders and appointment by the Company of an agent for service of process in the United States. Further, given the state of California views a cash or stock election as an investment decision, the Company’s legal advisers on the laws of the United States believe that an election between the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Convertible Notes will be viewed as an investment decision and without that stock dividend exemption, the Company would have to qualify the Bonus Issue with the California Department of

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Corporations and obtain a permit. Accordingly, the Company’s legal advisers on United States laws have advised that Shareholders with registered address in the United States should be excluded from the Bonus Convertible Notes election option and receive only Bonus Shares.

Based on advice of the Company’s legal advisers as to the laws of Australia and the laws of the United States, the Directors have decided that it would be necessary or expedient to exclude the Shareholders whose names appeared on the Register on the Record Date with registered addresses in either Australia or in California, the United States from the Option to Elect. Therefore, the Option to Elect will NOT be available to any Shareholder with registered address in Australia and California, the United States but otherwise the Bonus Issue will still be extended to such Shareholders. This document (but not the Election Form) has been sent to such Shareholders for information only.

Australia

This document does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of the Corporations Act and has not been, and will not be, lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. This document is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of, or invitation to elect for, Bonus Shares or Bonus Convertible Notes in Australia.

The information in this document may contain references to dollar amounts which are not Australian dollars, may contain financial information which is not prepared in accordance with Australian law or practices, may not address risks associated with investment in foreign currency denominated investments and does not address Australian tax issues.

The information has not been prepared for an Australian audience. The documents are prepared under the laws and operating rules of Hong Kong and may not contain all information that would be typical for Australian disclosure documents.

All other Shareholders resident outside Hong Kong should consult their professional advisers as to whether or not they are permitted to participate in the Bonus Issue or whether any legal, regulatory or governmental or other consents are required in order to participate in the Bonus Issue or whether any legal, regulatory or governmental or other consents are required or other formalities need to be observed. No Shareholder receiving a copy of this document and/or an Election Form in any territory outside Hong Kong may treat the same as an invitation to elect for the Bonus Shares and/or the Bonus Convertible Notes unless in the relevant territory such invitation could lawfully be made to it/him/her without the Company having to comply with any registration or other legal requirements, governmental or regulatory procedures or any other similar formalities. It is the responsibility of any Shareholder outside Hong Kong who wishes to receive the Bonus Shares and/or the Bonus Convertible Notes to comply with the laws of the relevant jurisdictions including procedures or any other similar formalities. Persons who receive the Bonus Shares and/or the Bonus Convertible Notes must also comply with any restrictions on the resale of Shares and/or the Bonus Convertible Notes which may apply outside Hong Kong.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing, Dealings and Settlement

Application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares and the Shares to be issued on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes. Subject to fulfillment of the condition under the section headed “Condition of the Bonus Issue” above, certificates for the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Convertible Notes are expected to be despatched by ordinary post to Shareholders entitled thereto to their respective addresses shown on the Register on the Record Date at their own risk on or about Friday, 22 June 2012. In the case of joint shareholdings, the certificates for the Bonus Shares and the Bonus Convertible Notes will be despatched by ordinary post to the address of the Shareholder first named in the Register in respect of such joint shareholding at their own risk.

Dealings in the Bonus Shares are expected to commence on Monday, 25 June 2012.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares and the shares in the Company to be issued on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Bonus Shares and the shares in the Company to be issued on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the respective commencement dates of their dealings on the Stock Exchange or such other date as shall be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

None of the Shares are listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and the Bonus Shares and the shares in the Company to be issued on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange at the time of the issuance and allotment of the Bonus Shares, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought. Investors should seek the advice of their stockbroker or other professional adviser for details of the settlement arrangements for the Bonus Shares and the shares in the Company to be issued on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes and how such arrangements affect their rights and interests.

Bonus Shares issued to the Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to an election to receive part of their entitlements under the Bonus Issue in the form of Bonus Shares may be allocated in odd lots (of less than a board lot of 1,000 Shares). Qualifying Shareholders should be aware that odd lots usually trade at a discount to the price of board lots.

Election Form

The Election Form has been prepared for use by the Qualifying Shareholders (other than those as shown on the Register with registered addresses in Australia and California, the United States) who wish to receive their entitlements under the Bonus Issue wholly in the form of the Bonus Convertible Notes or partly in the form of Bonus Shares and partly in the form of Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of Bonus Shares. Please read carefully the instructions below and the instructions printed on the Election Form.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If you wish to receive only Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue, you do not need to take any action. Therefore, please DO NOT return the Election Form.

(b) To receive only Bonus Convertible Notes

If you wish to receive only Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all of your entitlements to the Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue, please insert a “�” in Box C of the Election Form, then SIGN, DATE and RETURN the Election Form.

(c) To receive partly Bonus Shares and partly Bonus Convertible Notes

If you wish to receive your entitlements under the Bonus Issue partly in the form of Bonus Shares and partly in the form of Bonus Convertible Notes, please insert in Box D of the Election Form the number of Shares which you held on the Record Date for which you require your entitlements under the Bonus Issue to be issued in the form of the Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of Bonus Shares, then, SIGN, DATE and RETURN the Election Form.

If you elect to receive Bonus Convertible Notes in respect of a greater number of Shares than your registered holding of Shares on the Record Date, you will be deemed to have elected to receive ONLY Bonus Convertible Notes in respect of ALL the Shares registered in your name on the Record Date. Therefore, you will receive only Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all of your entitlements to the Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue.

The Election Forms should be completed and returned in accordance with the instructions printed thereon, so that they are received by the branch share registrar of the Company no later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 20 June 2012 at:

  • a. in force in Hong Kong at any local time at or before 12:00 noon and no longer in force after 12:00 noon on Wednesday, 20 June 2012. Instead, the deadline for the submission of the Election Form will be at 5:00 p.m. on the same day;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • b. in force in Hong Kong at any local time between 12:00 noon and 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 20 June 2012. Instead, the deadline for the submission of the Election Form will be rescheduled to 4:30 p.m. on the next business day which does not have either of those warning in force at any time between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Failure to complete and return the Election Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon will result in the relevant Qualifying Shareholder’s entitlements under the Bonus Issue being issued wholly in the form of Bonus Shares. No acknowledgement of receipt of the Election Form will be issued. No elections to receive Bonus Convertible Notes in lieu of all (or part) of the Qualifying Shareholders’ entitlements to the Bonus Shares may, after the relevant Election Form is signed and returned to the branch share registrar of the Company, be in any way withdrawn, revoked, superseded or altered.

Stamp Duty

Dealings in the Bonus Shares, the Bonus Convertible Notes and the Shares to be issued on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, transaction levy, or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong. The Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to the taxation implications of holding, disposing of or dealing in the Bonus Shares, the Bonus Convertible Notes and the Shares to be issued on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes. It is emphasized that none of the Company, its Directors or any other parties involved in the Bonus Issue accepts responsibility for any tax implication or liabilities of the Shareholders.

3. ACTION TO BE TAKEN

An Election Form is also enclosed with this document to the Qualifying Shareholders (not being those Qualifying Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and California, the United States). Qualifying Shareholders (other than those Qualifying Shareholders with registered addresses in Australia and California, the United States) who wish to elect for the Bonus Convertible Notes must complete and return the Election Form in accordance with the instructions thereon. Failure to do so may result in such election being void or having no effect.

No action needs to be taken by Shareholders who wish to receive Bonus Shares only. Shareholders will receive Bonus Convertible Notes only if they make an election to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes under the Election Form.

4. RECOMMENDATION

The Board believes that the Bonus Issue is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Board recommends the Shareholders (other than Asian Motion) to elect to receive Bonus Shares and NOT TO elect to receive the Bonus Convertible Notes, which carry no voting rights at general meetings of the Company and will be unlisted and irredeemable and therefore not readily tradeable notwithstanding its transferability.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board

APPENDIX

SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONUS CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Where only part of the amount of the Bonus Convertible Notes in respect of which a Certificate is issued is, subject to the Conditions, to be transferred or converted, a new Certificate in respect of the remaining amount of the Bonus Convertible Notes not so transferred or converted will, within fourteen Business Days after receipt of the form of transfer duly completed, signed and stamped (if required) or after the Conversion Date (as defined in sub-paragraph 6(b)(i) below), as the case may be, be made available for collection without charge at the specified office of the Bonus CN Registrar or, if so requested by the holder, be mailed by uninsured mail at the risk of the holder of the Bonus Convertible Notes not so transferred or converted (but free of charge to the holder) to the address of such holder appearing on the register of Bonus Convertible Noteholders.

SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONUS CONVERTIBLE NOTES

option of the holder thereof, at any time on or after the date of the Deed Poll (at the place where the Certificate representing such Bonus Convertible Note is deposited for conversion) for so long as the Bonus Convertible Notes remain outstanding until the outstanding Bonus Convertible Notes are mandatorily converted in accordance with sub-paragraph 9(a) below (the “ Conversion Period ”). Bonus Convertible Noteholders have the right to convert their Bonus Convertible Notes into Shares at any time during the Conversion Period PROVIDED THAT a Bonus Convertible Noteholder shall not be entitled to exercise its Conversion Rights if and to the extent that the minimum public float requirements in respect of the Shares under the Listing Rules could not be complied with immediately after the purported exercise of any Conversion Rights of the Bonus Convertible Noteholder (“ Restrictions on Conversion ”). In relation to the Restrictions on Conversion, nothing shall prohibit a Bonus Convertible Noteholder from exercising the Conversion Rights if at the time of the exercise of such Conversion Rights, such Bonus Convertible Noteholder and/or the Company has taken other action(s) simultaneously such that there will be no non-compliance of the above minimum public float requirements under the Listing Rules immediately after the issuance of the Shares upon such conversion. Upon conversion, the right of the converting Bonus Convertible Noteholder to any payment by the Company in respect of the Bonus Convertible Notes to be converted shall be extinguished and released, and the Company shall allot and issue Shares credited as paid up in full as provided in this paragraph 6.

The number of Shares to be issued on conversion of a Bonus Convertible Note will be determined by dividing the amount of the Bonus Convertible Note to be converted by the Conversion Price (as defined in sub-paragraph 6(a)(iii) below) in effect on the Conversion Date (as defined in sub-paragraph 6(b)(i) below).

  • (ii) If more than one Bonus Convertible Note is converted at any one time by the same holder, the number of Shares to be issued upon such conversion will be calculated on the basis of the aggregate amount of the Bonus Convertible Notes to be converted. Fractions of Shares will not be issued on conversion and no cash adjustments will be made in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a consolidation or re-classification of Shares by operation of law or otherwise occurring after the date of the Deed Poll, the Company will upon conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes pay in cash (in Hong Kong dollars by means of a Hong Kong dollar cheque drawn on a bank in Hong Kong) a sum equal to such portion of the amount of the Bonus Convertible Note or Bonus Convertible Notes in respect of which the Conversion Rights are exercised as corresponds to any fraction of a Share not issued as aforesaid if such sum exceeds HK$100.

  • (iii) The price at which Shares will be issued upon conversion (the “ Conversion Price ”) will initially be HK$0.10 per Share but will be subject to adjustment in the manner provided in sub-paragraph 6(c) below.

If the Conversion Date in relation to any Bonus Convertible Note shall be on or after a date with effect from which an adjustment to the Conversion Price takes retroactive effect pursuant to any of the provisions referred to in sub-paragraph 6(c) below and Clause 9 of the Deed Poll and the relevant Conversion Date falls on a date when the relevant adjustment has not yet been reflected in the then current Conversion Price, the Company will procure that the provisions of this sub-paragraph (ii) shall be applied, mutatis mutandis, to such number of Shares as is equal to the excess of the number of Shares which would have been required to be issued on conversion of such Bonus Convertible Note if the relevant retroactive adjustment had been given effect as at the said Conversion Date over the number of Shares previously issued pursuant to such conversion, and in such event and in respect of such number of Shares references in this sub-paragraph (ii) to the Conversion Date shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which such retroactive adjustment becomes effective (disregarding the fact that it becomes effective retroactively).

The person or persons designated for that purpose in the Conversion Notice (which must be the same person(s) as the relevant holder(s) of the Bonus Convertible Notes so converted) will be deemed for all purposes to be the holder(s) of record of the number of Shares issuable upon conversion with effect from the relevant Conversion Date.

SUMMARY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONUS CONVERTIBLE NOTES

  • (ii) if the Company considers that it would be appropriate for an adjustment to be made to the Conversion Price as a result of any event(s) or circumstances not referred to in clause 9.1 of the Deed Poll, the Company shall, at its own expense, consult an independent investment bank of international repute (which shall be selected and appointed by the Company and acting as experts) selected by the Company to determine as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable to take account thereof and the date on which such adjustment should take effect, and upon such determination by such independent investment bank such adjustment (provided that the adjustment would not reduce the Conversion Price below the par value of the Shares) shall be made and take effect in accordance with such determination;

provided that where the circumstances giving rise to any adjustment pursuant to this sub-paragraph 6(c) have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or where the circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of the circumstances which have already given or will give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price, such modification (if any) shall be made to the operation of the provisions of this sub-paragraph 6(c) as may be advised by the independent investment bank to be in their opinion appropriate to give the intended result.

On any adjustment, the resultant Conversion Price, if not an integral multiple of one (1) Hong Kong cent, shall be rounded down to the nearest one (1) Hong Kong cent. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than one per cent. of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made, and any amount by which the Conversion Price has not been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Notice of any adjustments shall be given to Bonus Convertible Noteholders in accordance with paragraph 15 of this Appendix as soon as practicable after the determination thereof.

The Conversion Price may not be reduced so that, on conversion of the Bonus Convertible Notes, Shares would fall to be issued at a discount to their par value.

Where more than one event which gives or may give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price occurs within such a short period of time that in the opinion of the independent investment bank (which shall be selected and appointed by the Company and acting as experts) a modification would need to be made to the foregoing provisions in order to give the intended result, such modification shall be made as may be advised by the independent investment bank to be in their opinion appropriate in order to give such intended result.

No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price (i) when an anti-dilution event set out in paragraph 7 arises; or (ii) when the Company pays or makes a Distribution to the Shareholders and makes payment to the Bonus Convertible Noteholders as referred to in Clause 3.1 of the Deed Poll and sub-paragraph 3(a) of this Appendix; or (iii) when the Company makes any Capitalisation Issue and issue any Shares, debentures or securities or further convertible notes to the Bonus Convertible Noteholders as referred to in Clause 3.2 of the Deed Poll and sub-paragraph 3(b) of this Appendix; or (iv) when Shares or other securities (including rights or options) are issued, offered or granted pursuant to any Employee Share Scheme (as defined below).
