To the Shareholders,
Dear Sir or Madam,
REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT
UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
AND
NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting for the approval of the Proposed Refreshment.
PROPOSED REFRESHMENT
The Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company pursuant to the ordinary resolution of the Shareholders on 12 August 2011. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to provide incentives or rewards to the 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 and any Invested Entity.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit, the number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options granted or to be granted under Share Option Scheme or other schemes of the Company is 356,191,936 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 12 August 2011, being the date of passing of the relevant Shareholders' resolution approving the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit. Subject to the prior approval by the Shareholders, the Company may, at any time, refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit to the extent not exceeding 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of such Shareholders' approval.
Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other subsisting share option scheme. Since the Share Option Scheme was adopted on 12 August 2011, there has been no refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit under the Share Option Scheme and no Option has been granted up to the Latest Practicable Date.
Set out below are the particulars regarding the Options since the approval of the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit (unless otherwise specified):
| Number of Shares regarding the Options | |
|---|---|
| Granted: | 0 |
| Exercised: | 0 |
| Cancelled: | 0 |
| Lapsed: | 0 |
| Outstanding in respect of the Options granted from the date of approval of the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit: | 0 |
| Outstanding (cumulative in respect of Options granted since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme): | 0 |
| Unused Existing Scheme Mandate Limit: | 356,191,936 |
The Existing Scheme Mandate Limit was approved by the Shareholders in 12 August 2011, pursuant to which 356,191,936 Shares may be issued upon the exercise of all options granted or to be granted under the Share Option Scheme or other schemes of the Company. Subsequent to the approval of the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit, the issued share capital of the Company has substantially increased. The Company considers that the Proposed Refreshment will provide greater flexibility to the Company in relation to the granting of Options, which shall be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 6,078,669,363 Shares. Subject to the approval of the Proposed Refreshment and assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the General Meeting, the maximum number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon the exercise of all Options to be granted pursuant to the Proposed Refreshment will be 607,866,936 Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Pursuant to Rule 17.03(3) of the Listing Rules, the Shares which may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was no outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme. The Board undertakes that no options shall be granted under any scheme(s) of the Company if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.
The Board considers that it is in the interests of the Company to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit to permit the granting of further Options so as to provide incentives to, and recognise the contributions of, the eligible participants. The Board therefore decided to seek the approval of the Shareholders at the General Meeting by poll to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit.
The Proposed Refreshment is conditional upon:
(i) the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the General Meeting to approve the Proposed Refreshment; and
(ii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.
Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.
GENERAL MEETING
A notice convening the General Meeting to be held at 15/F, CCB Tower, 3 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 2 September 2015 at 10:30 a.m. is set out on pages 7 to 8 of this circular. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder had any material interest in the Proposed Refreshment and accordingly no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the General Meeting.
A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the General Meeting is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the General Meeting in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the office of the Company's share registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the General Meeting or any adjourned meeting. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting at the General Meeting or any adjourned meeting should you so wish.
