To: the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY OF ITS OWN SHARES AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information with regard to the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting relating to, among other matters:

  • (a) the granting to the Directors the General Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and Extension Mandate;

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

  • (b) re-election of Directors; and

  • (c) proposed change of Company name.

GENERAL ISSUE MANDATE

It is proposed that the General Issue Mandate be granted to the Directors to issue new Shares up to 20 per cent of the aggregate nominal amount of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution. There is however no present intention for any issuance of Shares pursuant to the General Issue Mandate to be granted.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 513,005,418 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the passing of the resolution approving the General Issue Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the General Issue Mandate on the date of passing the resolution will be 102,601,083 Shares.

GENERAL MANDATE FOR REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY OF ITS OWN SHARES

On 18 May 2006, a general mandate was given to the Directors to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase its own Shares granted in the last annual general meeting which will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company. An ordinary resolution will therefore be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the grant of a general mandate to the Directors to repurchase on Stock Exchange Shares of the Company up to a maximum of 10% of the issued Shares of the Company at the date of passing the resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 513,005,418 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate on the date of passing the resolution will be 51,300,541 Shares.

An explanatory statement to provide Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision in relation to this proposed resolution as required by the Listing Rules on the Stock Exchange concerning the regulation of repurchases by companies of their own securities on the Stock Exchange is set out in the Appendix II to this circular.

GENERAL EXTENSION MANDATE

It is recommended that a new Extension Mandate be granted to the Directors permitting them, after the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to add to the General Issue Mandate any Shares representing the aggregate nominal value of the Shares in the Company repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

The authority conferred on the Directors by the General Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate would continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless it is renewed at such meeting or until revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes to change the name of the Company from “Luks Industrial (Group) Limited ” to “Luks Group (Vietnam Holdings) Company Limited ”. The change of name of the Company shall become effective after the approval by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the Annual General Meeting and the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda granting approval for the change of name of the Company. Relevant filing will also be made with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong for the change of name of the Company.

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF NAME

The Company started as an industrial company engaging in electronics manufacturing business since it was established in 1975 and thus has adopted the name including “Industrial” in it. Today, the Company has successfully transformed into a holding company with its principal subsidiaries situated in Vietnam, engaging in cement manufacturing and property investment and development business. For the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group had over 95% of its income generated from Vietnam and its major assets are also located in Vietnam. The proposed new name of the Company not only can more accurately reflect the nature and business of the Group, but it can also give investors a clear perception of the strategy and future development of the Group.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

The share certificates bearing the Company’s existing name will continue to be evidence of title and valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes. There will not be any arrangements for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates under the new name of the Company. However, only new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new name of the Company after the change of its name has become effective. A further announcement will be made once the change of name of the Company becomes effective and on any proposed change in the stock trading name of the Company.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday, 16 May 2007 at 3:00 p.m. at Jade Room, 6/F, Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong is set out as Appendix III on pages 15 to 17 of this circular and a form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is herein enclosed.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE OF THE COMPANY’S SHARES

APPENDIX II

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules.

THE SHARE REPURCHASE RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. In this regard, the definition of “Shares” in the Listing Rules would, include shares of all classes and securities which carry a right to subscribe or purchase Shares of the Company.

EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 513,005,418 existing Shares of the Company in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and on the basis that no new Shares of the Company are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate could accordingly result in up to 51,300,541 Shares of the Company being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period from the date of resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate until the earlier of the conclusion of the first annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the said resolution or the revocation or variation of the existing repurchase mandate by Shareholders of the Company in general meeting.

The Directors would like to draw the attention of the Shareholders as regards the amendments to the Listing Rules promulgated by the Stock Exchange as announced on 30 January 2004 and in particular those amendments made to paragraph 10.06(2) on “Dealing Restrictions”. Upon the taking effect of the amendments to the Listing Rules on 31 March 2004, major changes in relation to repurchase by the Company of its securities in the market are as follows:

  1. The restriction to repurchase by the Company in any one calendar month of not more than 25% of the total number of a certain kind of Shares which were traded on the Stock Exchange in the preceding calendar month is cancelled;

  2. The Company shall not purchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange if the purchase price is higher by 5% or more than the average closing market price for the 5 preceding trading days on which Shares would be traded on the Stock Exchange;

  3. The Company shall not purchase Shares during the period of 1 month immediately preceding the earlier of

  4. 3.1 the date of the board meeting (as such date is first notified to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules) for the approval of the Company’s results for any yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules); and

– 11 –

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE OF THE COMPANY’S SHARES

  • 3.2 the deadline for the Company to publish an announcement of its results for any yearly or half-yearly under the Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules).

and ending on the date of the results announcement unless the circumstances are exceptional.

Shareholders are advised to refer to the new Listing Rules for details.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares of the Company in the market. 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 of the Company and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases must be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities, which will be funds legally available for the purchase in accordance with the Bye-laws of the Company and the applicable laws of Hong Kong and Bermuda. Under Bermuda law, no Shares shall be repurchased except out of the capital paid up therein or out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares. If a premium is payable, it shall be provided for out of fund of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company’s share premium account.

On the basis of the combined net tangible assets of the Group as at 31st December 2006, being the balance sheet date for the latest published audited accounts of the Company and taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that no material adverse effect on the working capital and gearing position of the Company may result in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full in the period before the Repurchase Mandate expires. The Directors however do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL

None of the Directors, and to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any associates of any Director, have any present intention in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders to sell any of the Shares of the Company.

– 12 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE OF THE COMPANY’S SHARES

APPENDIX II

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

If, as a result of a Share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. In certain circumstances, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could as a result of increase of its or their interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Assuming that there is a Share repurchase, Mr. Luk’s interest in the shares of the Company will increase to about 66.53% of the Company’s total issued shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following person holds more than 10% of the entire issued share capital of the Company:–

Name Shares
Luk King Tin (“Mr. Luk”) 307,162,184
(including Shares in the name of 59.88%
KT (Holdings) Limited and his family interest) (Note)

Note:

The interest includes:

  • (1) Mr. Luk’s personal interest in 195,011,286 Shares (representing 38.01% of the total issued shares of the Company).

  • (2) Mr. Luk’s corporate interest in K T (Holdings) Limited (a company which is 100% beneficially owned by Mr. Luk) which held 57,226,071 Shares (representing 11.16% of total issued shares of the Company).

  • (3) Mr. Luk’s family interest is held by his wife, Madam Cheng Cheung. Madam Cheng has a personal interest in 18,012,800 Shares (representing 3.51% of the total issued shares of the Company) and through CC (Holdings) Ltd. (a company which is 100% beneficially owned by Madam Cheng Cheung) holds 36,912,027 Shares (representing 7.20% of the total issued shares of the Company).

Apart from the said persons, the Directors are not aware of any single Shareholder who holds more than 10% of the issued Share capital of the Company.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate will have under the Takeovers Code and so far as is known to the Directors, no other Shareholders of the Company at present may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power in full to repurchase the Company’s Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

– 13 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE OF THE COMPANY’S SHARES

APPENDIX II

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares of the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate was approved by Shareholders.

The Company has not repurchased any of its Shares, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, during the previous six months.

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares of the Company have traded on the Stock Exchange for the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date:–
