EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,477,687,450 fully paid up Shares of HK$0.01 each in issue. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the Company would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 147,768,745 Shares representing 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company.
2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF THE REPURCHASES
It is proposed that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate would be financed from available cash flow or working capital facilities of the Company and its subsidiaries. In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase. The amount of premium payable on the repurchase may only be paid out of either funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company before the Shares are repurchased.
In the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, the repurchase of Shares might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011). However, 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 or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.78 | 0.73 |
- Trading of the Shares was suspended from 4 July 2011 to 8 July 2011.
5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any of the Shares to the Company.
No connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any of the Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that if they shall exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, they will exercise the same in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
7. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of shareholding 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, Mr. YU Pan together with companies controlled by him beneficially held 1,058,112,271 Shares, representing approximately 71.61% of the issued shares of the Company. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased and in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and there is no change in shareholding in the Company owned by Mr. YU Pan and companies controlled by him, the shareholding in the Company owned by Mr. YU Pan and companies controlled by him would be increased to approximately 79.56%. Should such increase arise, Mr. YU Pan together with companies controlled by him would not be required to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code because the shareholding held by Mr. YU Pan and companies controlled by him already hold more than 50% of the issued shares of the Company. Nevertheless, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate and will not effect repurchase to such an extent which will result in the Company failing to comply with Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules which requires a public float of 25%.
8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) has been made by the Company during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
