Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS INVOLVING GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

INTRODUCTION

This circular is to provide the shareholders (the “Shareholders”) of South East Group Limited (the “Company”) with information required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) concerning the proposed general mandates for the issue of shares, repurchase of shares and an extension of the mandate for issuing shares (to include those shares repurchased) to be granted to the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) since the general mandates granted on 5 August 2011 to the Directors will expire at the AGM (as defined below); and also to provide information relating to the re-election of Directors at the AGM (as defined below). Resolutions in relation to the above, among others, are to be approved by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company to be held on Tuesday, 7 August 2012 (the “AGM”) and this circular contains information reasonably necessary for the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against such resolutions.

* For identification purposes only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE SHARE ISSUE MANDATE

Resolution no. 4 referred to in the notice of AGM dated 9 July 2012 (the “AGM Notice”) will, if passed, give a general unconditional mandate (the “Share Issue Mandate”) to the Directors authorising the exercise by the Directors of the powers of the Company to allot additional shares of HK$0.10 each in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”). This authority would apply to up to 20% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of the AGM.

THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Resolution no. 5 (the “Ordinary Resolution”) referred to in the AGM Notice will, if passed, give a general unconditional mandate (the “Share Repurchase Mandate”) to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of the AGM (the “Repurchase Proposal”).

The Directors also propose a separate ordinary resolution at the AGM to add to the Share Issue Mandate to issue those Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors at the AGM (the “Extension of Share Issue Mandate”).

The Directors propose to seek your approval of the Ordinary Resolution to be proposed at the AGM. The information set out below constitutes an Explanatory Statement in accordance with the relevant rules as set out in the Listing Rules to regulate the repurchase by companies with primary listing on the Stock Exchange of their own securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Share Buy Back Rules”):

(1) Shareholders’ approval

The Share Buy Back Rules provide that all on-market share repurchase by company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be of fully paid up shares and approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transactions.

(2) Share Capital

As at 5 July 2012 (the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this statement) (the “Latest Practicable Date”) the issued share capital of the Company comprised 351,258,880 Shares. Subject to the passing of the Ordinary Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 35,125,888 Shares.

(3) Reasons for the Repurchase Proposal

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

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(4) 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 bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution, or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase to such extent allowable under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended). The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company.

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 consolidated accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2012) in the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. Such proposed repurchase period means the period from the passing of the Ordinary Resolution until whichever is the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the date on which the authority sets out in the Ordinary Resolution is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting; and (iii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by Bermuda laws or the bye-laws of the Company. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirement of the Company or the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

(5) Share prices

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

	Highest	Lowest
	HK$	HK$
July 2011	0.440	0.355
August 2011	0.405	0.300
September 2011	0.355	0.249
October 2011	0.285	0.230
November 2011	0.270	0.226
December 2011	0.260	0.230
January 2012	0.250	0.215
February 2012	0.445	0.225
March 2012	0.335	0.260
April 2012	0.340	0.260
May 2012	0.305	0.233
June 2012	0.295	0.226
July 2012 (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date)	0.250	0.230

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(6) Undertaking of the Directors

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Ordinary Resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

(7) Directors, associates and connected persons

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

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

(8) Effects of the Takeovers Code

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal 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 Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Takeovers Code”). Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obligated to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Brilliant Express International Limited (“Brilliant Express”) held 92,000,000 Shares representing approximately 26.19% of the issued share capital of the Company. Brilliant Express was wholly owned by Mr. Wu Siu Chung (“Mr. Wu”). Accordingly, Mr. Wu was taken to have an interest under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (“SFO”) in the same parcel of 92,000,000 Shares held by Brilliant Express. They were the substantial shareholders holding more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in the Company in accordance with the terms of the Ordinary Resolution, then (if the present shareholdings otherwise remained the same) the attributable shareholdings of each of Brilliant Express and Mr. Wu in the Company would be increased to approximately 29.10% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. If any exercise of the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Ordinary Resolution would, to the knowledge of the Directors, result in takeovers obligation, the Directors would not purchase Shares to such an extent.

(9) Share repurchase made by the Company

The Company has not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

The Company proposes to enter into a letter of appointment with Mr. Lo provided that he is re-elected as a Director by the Shareholders at the AGM.

Save as disclosed, Mr. Lo does not have any relationship with any directors, senior management or substantial or controlling shareholders of the Company.

Mr. Lo has been serving the Board for more than nine years.

The Board is confident that Mr. Lo will continue to make valuable contribution to the Company by providing his balanced and objective views to the Board. Mr. Lo has complied with the requirement of Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules by providing annual confirmation of independence to the Company. The Board is satisfied that Mr. Lo meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and continues to be independent.
