AND
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting relating to (a) the granting of general mandates to the Directors to repurchase and issue Shares; (b) the adoption of New Share Option Scheme and termination of Existing Share Option Scheme and (c) the re-election of Directors.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. GENERAL MANDATES TO REPURCHASE AND ISSUE SHARES
At the Annual General Meeting, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to renew the general mandates previously granted to the Directors to (a) repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the resolutions and (b) allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares up to a limit of 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolutions plus the number of any Shares repurchased by the Company since the granting of the general mandate (up to a maximum number equivalent to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution and authorised by a separate ordinary resolution as required by the Listing Rules).
An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed general mandate to repurchase Shares is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting.
3. ADOPTION OF NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND TERMINATION OF EXISTING SHARE OPTION SCHEME
The Existing Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 21 December 2001 for a period of 10 years and will expire on 20 December 2011. The Directors consider that in order to enable the Group to attract and retain employees of appropriate qualifications and with the necessary experience to work for the Group, and to motivate eligible participants to optimise their performance and efficiency for the benefit of the Group and to attract and retain or otherwise maintain on-going business relationship with the eligible participants whose contributions are or will be beneficial to the long-term growth of the Group, it is important that the Group should continue to provide such employees and eligible participants, where appropriate, with an additional incentive by offering them an opportunity to obtain an ownership interest in the Company and to reward them for contributing to the long-term success of the business of the Group or to acquire a monetary gain which may in turn provide a further incentive to them for advancing their performance. Accordingly, the Directors propose to recommend to Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to approve the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and simultaneously terminate the Existing Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not adopted any share option scheme other than the Existing Share Option Scheme.
Upon termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme, there will be no further options granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme. However, the provisions of the Existing Share Option Scheme will remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of options granted prior to its termination or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Existing Share Option Scheme.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
A summary of the principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme is set out in Appendix II to this circular. The rules of the New Share Option Scheme proposed to be adopted by the Company at the Annual General Meeting will be available for inspection at the principal place of business in Hong Kong at 17th Floor, Eton Tower, 8 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong during normal business hours from the date of this circular up to and including the date of Annul General Meeting and at the Annual General Meeting.
Options granted prior to the termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme will continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the rules of the Existing Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 21,900,000 options granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme and all such 21,900,000 options have not yet been exercised under the Existing Share Option Scheme. Save as aforesaid and up to the Latest Practicable Date, no other options have been granted to any eligible participants. The Directors confirm that prior to the Annual General Meeting, they will not grant any further option under the Existing Share Option Scheme.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 219,103,681 Shares in issue. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme, the scheme limit for the New Share Option Scheme will be 21,910,368 Shares under Rule 17.03(3) of the Listing Rules, should the New Share Option Scheme be adopted.
None of the Directors is a trustee of the New Share Option Scheme nor has any direct or indirect interest in the trustees.
No Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme and the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme.
In respect of the operation of the New Share Option Scheme, the Company will, where applicable, comply with the relevant requirements under chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.
4. VALUE OF THE OPTION
The Company considers that it would not be appropriate to state the value of all Options that could have been granted under the New Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date, as a number of variables which are crucial for the calculation of the option value are yet to be determined. Such variables include the subscription price payable for the Shares, exercise period, any lock-up period and any performance target. The Company believes that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a number of speculative assumptions would be misleading to the Shareholders.
5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME
The adoption of the New Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:
- (i) the approval of the Shareholders for the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and the termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme; and
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of and permission to deal in the Shares or any part thereof to be issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the New Share Option Scheme.
Subject to the aforesaid conditions, the Directors will have the right to grant to Eligible Participants Options to subscribe for Shares in the Company under the New Share Option Scheme that, when aggregated with any Share which may be issued upon exercise of Options to be granted under any other schemes, represent up to 10 per cent of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the New Share Option Scheme unless the Company obtains a fresh approval from the Shareholders to renew the 10 per cent limit. In any event, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes shall not exceed 30 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time.
Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of and permission to deal in the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the New Share Option Scheme.
The New Share Option Scheme may be altered in any respect by a resolution of the Board except that the provisions of the New Share Option Scheme relating to matters contained in rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules shall not be altered to the advantage of grantees or prospective grantees except with the prior approval of the Shareholders of the Company in general meeting. Once the New Share Option Scheme is adopted, any alterations to the terms and conditions thereof, which are of a material nature, must be approved by the Shareholders in general meeting, except where the alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of the New Share Option Scheme. The amended terms of the New Share Option Scheme and all Options must continue to comply with the relevant requirements of chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. Any change to the authority of the Board in relation to any alteration to the terms of the New Share Option Scheme must be approved by Shareholders of the Company in general meeting.
6. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with Bye-Law 99 of the Bye-Laws, the Directors who will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting are Mr. TAN Lucio Jr. Khao, Mr. CHEUNG Chi Ming, Mr. PASCUAL Ramon Sy and Mr. CHONG Kim Chan, Kenneth, and they, all being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. Details of such Directors are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
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 CODE
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 (together with his associates) held 93,321,279 Shares (approximately 42.59%), was the substantial shareholder holding more than 5% of the issued share capital of the Company under Part XV of the SFO.
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 Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to such extent as it would 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 2011 (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.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME
APPENDIX II
-
(ii) In order for a person to satisfy the Board that he/she/it is qualified to be (or, where applicable, continues to be qualified to be) an Eligible Participant, such person shall provide all such information as the Board may request for the purpose of assessing its eligibility (or continuing eligibility).

In particular, during the period commencing one month immediately preceding the earlier of (A) the date of the Board meeting for the approval of the Company’s results for any year, half-year, quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules) and (B) the deadline for the Company to publish an announcement of its results for any year or half-year under the Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period respectively (whether or not required under the Listing Rules), and ending on the date on which such information has been announced pursuant to the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.

(i) Rights on ceasing to be an Eligible Participant
If the Grantee of an Option ceases to be an Eligible Participant for any reason other than death, misconduct or certain other grounds (including, but not limited to, any breach by such Grantee of any terms or conditions of the New Share Option Scheme or attached to the grant of the Options and the Board considers that such Grantee fails to meet the continuing eligibility criteria as provided in the New Share Option Scheme), such Grantee may exercise the Option up to such Grantee’s entitlement at the date of cessation, failing which the Option will lapse.

(k) Effects of alterations to capital
In the event of an alteration in the capital structure of the Company, including capitalisation issue, rights issue, sub-division or consolidation of Shares or reduction of capital but excluding any alteration in the capital structure of the Company as a result of an issue of Shares as consideration in a transaction, whilst such Option remains exercisable, such corresponding alterations will be made to the number or nominal amount of Shares which are the subject of unexercised Options, the Option price and/or the maximum number of Shares subject to the New Share Option Scheme or in respect of which any Eligible Participant shall be entitled, provided that no such alteration shall be made so that a Share would be issued at less than its nominal value or which would not give a Grantee of an Option the same proportion of the issued share capital or the Company as that to which he or she was previously entitled. Any such alteration shall be certified by the auditor of the Company as being fair and reasonable, and (save where an adjustment arises by way of a capitalisation of profits or reserves) as giving Eligible Participants the same proportion of equity capital as that to which they were previously entitled and as not requiring any Share to be issued following such adjustment at less than its nominal value as a result thereof. No alteration shall be made if such alteration would result in the aggregate subscription price payable on the exercise in full of the Option shall remain as nearly as possible the same (but shall not be greater than) as it was before such event, or if it would enable a Share to be issued at less than its nominal value or if it would result in an increase in the proportion of the issued share capital of the Company for which any Eligible Participant is entitled to subscribe pursuant to the Options held by him.

If a general offer (whether by way of takeover offer, share repurchase offer or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner) is made to all the holders of Shares (or all such holders other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by the offeror and/or any person acting in association or in concert with the offeror), the Company shall use its best endeavours to procure that such offer is extended to all Grantees (on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and assuming that they shall become, by the exercise in full of the Options granted to them, shareholders of the Company). If such offer, having been approved in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements becomes, or is declared unconditional, the Grantee (or his/her/its legal personal representative(s)) shall be entitled to exercise his/her/its Options in full (to the extent not already exercised) at any time within 14 days after the date on which such general offer becomes or is declared unconditional.
(m) Rights on scheme of arrangement
If a compromise or arrangement between the Company and its members or creditors is proposed for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of the Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies, the Company shall give notice to the grantee on the same date as it despatches the notice to each member or creditor of the Company summoning the meeting to consider such a compromise or arrangement, and thereupon the Eligible Participant (or his or her personal representative(s))

Upon such compromise or arrangement becoming effective, all Options shall lapse insofar as previously exercised under the New Share Option Scheme. The Company may require the Grantee (or his or her personal representative(s)) to transfer or otherwise deal with the Shares issued as a result of the exercise of Options in these circumstances so as to place the Grantee in the same position as nearly as would have been the case had such Shares been subject to such compromise or arrangement.

-
(iii) subject to the scheme of arrangement becoming effective, the expiry of the period referred to in sub-paragraph (m);
-
(iv) the date on which the Grantee of an Option who is an employee of any company of the Group ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of the termination of his or her employment or office or his or her contract for services on grounds including, but not limited to, serious misconduct, bankruptcy, insolvency and conviction of any criminal offence involving integrity or honesty;

The Board shall have the absolute discretion to cancel any Options granted. Cancelled Options may be re-issued after such cancellation has been approved, provided that re-issued options shall only be granted in compliance with the terms of the New Share Option Scheme. For the avoidance of doubt, new options may be issued to an option holder in place of his/her/it cancelled Options only if there are available unissued options (excluding the cancelled Options) within the Scheme Mandate Limit.
