EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in connection with the grant of the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,557,311,429 Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 255,731,142 Shares, which are fully paid-up and represent 10% of the total issued Shares of the Company as at the Annual General Meeting, during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.

REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the grant of the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share, and/or its earnings per Share, and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the Companies Law and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015) in the event that the Proposed Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Proposed 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interest, could 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, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the controlling Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, namely Baoxin Investment Management Ltd., Auspicious Splendid Global Investments Limited and Mr. Yang Aihua (collectively the ‘‘Controlling Shareholders’’), together held 1,370,144,000 Shares representing approximately 53.38% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

On December 11, 2015, China Grand Automotive Services Co. Limited provided a preconditional voluntary cash partial offer to acquire a maximum of 75% of the total issued share capital of the Company (the ‘‘Proposed Acquisition’’). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Proposed Acquisition has not yet completed.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and prior to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the percentage of voting rights at a general meeting of the Company held by the Controlling Shareholders would increase to approximately 59.53% of the total issued share capital of the Company (if the Controlling Shareholders do not participate in such repurchase). Save as the aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of shares pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate. In any event, the Directors also have no intention to exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The exercise in full of the Proposed Repurchase Mandate will not result in the Controlling Shareholders becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, and the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate (whether in full or otherwise) to such an extent that would result in the public shareholding falling below 25% of total issued share capital of the Company being the prescribed minimum percentage held by the public as required by Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules.
