LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SECOND PROXY FORM

Since the form of proxy (the “First Proxy Form”) sent together with the Circular and 2006 Annual Report of the Company does not contain the proposed resolution for the re-election of Mr. Tse as retiring Director as set out in this supplemental circular, a new form of proxy (the “Second Proxy Form”) has been prepared and is enclosed with this supplemental circular. You are requested to complete the Second Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit at the share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tengis Limited at 26/F., Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM, Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the meeting or any adjourned meeting should you so wish.

If you have appointed or intend to appoint proxies to attend the AGM, you are requested to pay particular attention to the special arrangements set out below. If you have not yet lodged the First Proxy Form with the Company, you are requested to lodge the Second Proxy Form if you wish to appoint proxies to attend the AGM on your behalf. In this case, the First Proxy Form should not be lodged with the Company.

If you have already lodged the First Proxy Form with the Company, you should note that:

  • (i) If no Second Proxy Form is lodged with the Company, the First Proxy Form will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by you, if correctly completed. The proxy so appointed by you will be entitled to vote at his discretion or abstain from voting on any resolution properly put to the AGM other than those referred to in the notice convening the AGM and the First Proxy Form, including a resolution for the re-election of an additional retiring Director set out in this supplemental circular.

  • (ii) If the Second Proxy Form is lodged with the Company before the Closing Time, the Second Proxy Form will revoke and supersede the First Proxy Form previously lodged by you. The Second Proxy Form will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by you, if correctly completed.

  • (iii) If the Second Proxy Form is lodged with the Company after the Closing Time, the Second Proxy Form will be invalid. However, it will revoke the First Proxy Form previously lodged by you, and any vote that may be cast by the purported proxy (whether appointed under the First Proxy Form or the Second Proxy Form) will not be counted in any poll which may be taken on a proposed resolution. Accordingly, you are advised not to lodge the Second Proxy Form after the Closing Time. If you wish to vote at the AGM, you will have to attend in person and vote at the AGM yourselves.
