LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

Pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 12 May 2005, a general mandate was given to the Directors to exercise powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing such resolution on 12 May 2005. Such mandate will expire at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM.

An ordinary resolution (the “ Repurchase Resolution ”) will be proposed at the AGM to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase, at any time until the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the Repurchase Resolution or such earlier date as stated therein, Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the Repurchase Resolution (the “ Repurchase Mandate ”).

An explanatory statement, as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information in connection with the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

Pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 12 May 2005, a general mandate was given to the Directors to exercise powers of the Company to issue Shares up to 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing such resolution on 12 May 2005. Such mandate will expire at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company (the “ Issue Mandate ”) and to extend the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice dated 11 April 2006 convening the AGM as set out in Appendix III, which contains, among others, ordinary resolutions to approve the Repurchase Mandate and Issue Mandate and a special resolution to approve the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association, is contained in this circular.

PROCEDURES TO DEMAND A POLL

Pursuant to Article 66 of the Articles of Association, a resolution put to the vote of a general meeting of the Company (including the AGM) shall be decided on a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded:

  • (i) by the Chairman of such meeting; or

  • (ii) by at least three Shareholders of the Company present in person or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorised representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or

  • (iii) by a Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all Shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting; or

  • (iv) by a Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and holding Shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting being Shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all Shares conferring such right; or

  • (v) by any Director or Directors who, individually or collectively, hold proxies in respect of Shares representing 5% or more of the total voting rights at such meeting.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules or the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this circular and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement herein misleading.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate, (and the extension thereto as described in resolution 5(c) set out in the notice of the AGM contained in Appendix III to this circular), the re-election of Retiring Directors and the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association at the AGM are all in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend you to vote in favour of all the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

By Order of the Board Wang Zhiqiang Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you to enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the Repurchase Resolution.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 270,167,782 Shares. Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 27,016,778 Shares.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, they believe that an ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such repurchases may, depending on 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.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the 2005 Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2005) in the event that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full during the period of the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors 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 or the gearing levels of the Company, which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchase of its own Shares.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of repurchase(s) of Shares by the Company, 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. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could, depending on the level of increase of his 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, each of Mr Wang Xubing and Mr Wang Zhiqiang was interested in a total of 140,750,000 Shares, representing approximately 52.10% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate by the Company, assuming that the issued share capital of the Company remains 270,167,782 Shares and based on the shareholding of Mr Wang Xubing and Mr Wang Zhiqiang, the shareholding of Mr Wang Xubing and Mr Wang Zhiqiang in the Company will increase to approximately 57.89%. On this basis, the Directors are not aware of any consequence that would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the date of this circular.
