As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares of the Company in issue was 668,529,000. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot and issue new shares in the share capital of the Company and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to allot a maximum of 66,852,900 Shares during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting. In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution No. 5(3), the number of Shares purchased by the Company under ordinary resolution No. 5(2) will also be added to the 10 per cent. general mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution No. 5(1).

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and also constitutes the memorandum required under Section 49BA of the Companies Ordinance.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares of the Company in issue was 668,529,000. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 66,852,900 Shares, which represents 10 per cent. of the aggregate number of Shares in issue, during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the ability to repurchase Shares is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

Repurchases may, depending on the circumstances, result in an increase in net assets per share and/or earnings per share. The Directors are seeking the grant of a general mandate to repurchase shares to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The timing and the number(s), the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Repurchases must be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the laws of Hong Kong. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

There might be a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the most recent published annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2006) in the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the general mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or its gearing level which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the general mandate is granted by Shareholders.

• 8 -

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Hong Kong.

The Company has received no notification from any of the connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company of a present intention to sell Shares to the Company and no such persons have undertaken not to sell any such Shares to the Company in the event that the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is granted.

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate, 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 Code. As a result, a shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, C & H Korea held 382,850,000 Shares, representing approximately 57.27% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and the number of shares held by C & H Korea remain unchanged, the shareholding of C & H Korea in the Company will be increased to approximately 63.63% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Proposed Repurchase Mandate. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate to such extent that the public shareholding would be reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

No purchase has been made by the Company of its Shares in the six months prior to the date of this circular.
