APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF REPURCHASE MANDATE
GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES
At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to renew a general mandate previously granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 219,103,681. On the basis of such figure, assuming that no Shares will be issued or repurchased thereafter and prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase Shares up to a limit of 21,910,368 Shares.
DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed general mandate to repurchase Shares is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.
No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make purchases of its own Shares.
UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the proposed general mandate to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Bermuda and the Memorandum and Bye-Laws of the Company.
EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODES
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. CHUA Domingo, the Chairman of the Company and his associates together held 93,321,279 Shares (approximately 42.59%) and Plus Holdings Limited (provisional liquidators appointed) through its wholly-owned subsidiary held 13,152,000 Shares (approximately 6%) of the issued share capital of the Company, were the substantial shareholders holding more than 5% of the issued share capital of the Company. Mr. CHUA Domingo and his associates were not parties acting in concert with Plus Holdings Limited (provisional liquidators appointed).
In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the resolution and if there is no other change in issued share capital of the Company, the shareholdings of Mr. CHUA Domingo (together with his associates) in the Company would be increased to approximately 47.32%, which would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Codes. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to such extent as it would trigger the same. And the shareholdings of Plus Holdings Limited (provisional liquidators appointed) (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) in the Company would be increased to approximately 6.67%, which would not trigger the same. The exercise in full of the power to repurchase Shares by the Directors also would not reduce the public shareholding in the Company to below 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the laws of Bermuda, the Memorandum and the Bye-Laws of the Company. It is envisaged that the Company will derive the funds for repurchase of its Shares in accordance therewith.
FUNDING FOR REPURCHASES
The Company is empowered by its Memorandum and Bye-Laws to repurchase its own Shares. Bermuda law provides that any amount repaid in connection with a repurchase of Share(s) may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on the repurchases, if any, may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of the share premium or contributed surplus accounts of the Company.
REASON FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors have no present intention to make any repurchase of the Company’s own Shares but consider that the mandate will provide the Company the flexibility to make such repurchases when appropriate and beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchases may enhance the net asset value of the Company and/or earnings per share. Based on the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2007 (being the date of its latest published audited accounts), the Directors do not expect any material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period. No repurchases would be made in the circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.
