APPENDIX A

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution in relation to the Buyback Mandate to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

(i) LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully paid-up securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

(ii) EXERCISE OF THE BUYBACK MANDATE

Exercise in full of the Buyback Mandate, assuming that no further Share will be issued and repurchased and no Warrants will be exercised prior to the Annual General Meeting, and based on 478,088,901 fully-paid Shares in issue and 44,650,997 units of Warrant to subscribe for Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, could accordingly result in up to 47,808,890 Shares and 4,465,099 units of Warrants to be repurchased by the Company during the period from the passing of the resolution granting the Buyback Mandate until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or when such Buyback Mandate is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by law or the Bye-laws to be held, whichever occurs first.

(iii) REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors on behalf of the Company to repurchase the fully-paid securities of the Company in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its shareholders.

(iv) FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company. In the event that any repurchase will or will be likely to have an adverse impact on the working capital of the Company, the Company will not proceed with such repurchase.

There may be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2007 as contained in the Annual Report 2007) 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

– 7 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

APPENDIX A

the Buyback Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances and in the opinion of the Directors, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or its gearing level.

(v) GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective Associates, has any present intention, if the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any securities of the Company to the Company or its subsidiaries.

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

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed Buyback 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 purposes of the Takeovers Code currently in force and issued by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. As a result, a shareholder, or group of shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and becomes obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all shares not already owned by such shareholder or group of shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the numbers of ordinary Shares held by the substantial shareholders of the Company are as follows:

Approximate
percentage of the
Capacity and nature Interests in Company’s issued
Name of interest shares share capital
Man Yue Holdings Inc. Beneficial owner/Personal 209,689,667 43.86%
Chan Ho Sing Beneficial owner/Personal 30,315,667 6.34%
DJE Investment S.A. Investment Manager 42,834,000 8.96%
Martin Currie (Holdings) Limited Interest of controlled 28,815,000 6.03%

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

APPENDIX A

Man Yue Holdings Inc. is a company incorporated in the Bahamas, the entire issued capital of which is ultimately beneficially owned by the family trust of Mr. Chan Ho Sing (the Chairman of the Company). If the Company exercises in full the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding of Man Yue Holdings Inc. in the issued share capital of the Company will increase from approximately 43.86 per cent. to approximately 48.73 per cent. and such increase will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

DJE Investment S.A., is a company incorporated in Luxemburg. If the Company exercises in full the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding of DJE Investment S.A. in the issued share capital of the Company will increase from approximately 8.96 per cent. to approximately 9.95 per cent. and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Martin Currie (Holdings) Limited, is a company incorporated in Bermuda. If the Company exercises in full the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding of Martin Currie (Holdings) Limited, in the issued share capital of the Company will increase from approximately 6.03 per cent. to approximately 6.70 per cent. and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

If as a result of the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate, the number of listed Shares which are in the hands of the public falls below the prescribed minimum of 25 per cent. as required by the Stock Exchange, the Company will not exercise the power to repurchase Shares.

The Company has not repurchased any securities of the Company (on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
