LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 May 2009, a general mandate was given to the board to issue additional shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval to give a fresh general mandate to the Board.

A special resolution (item no. 14, AGM notice, pages 14 to 18 of this circular) will be proposed to grant a general mandate to the Board to allot and issue additional shares not exceeding 20% of the Domestic Shares and H Shares of the Company in issue on the date of the passing of the special resolution effective until the next annual general meeting.

The Board believes that such mandate will give flexibility to the Board to issue shares when it is in the best interest of the Company.

3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

Pursuant to the Articles, the term of office of Directors are three years renewable upon re-election.

The term of office of Ms. Zhang Lin, who is at present a non-executive Director of the Company, will expire on 30 May 2010, and Ms. Zhang, being eligible, has offered herself for re-election at the AGM for another three-year term commencing on 30 May 2010.

The biography of Ms. Zhang standing for re-election is set out in Appendix I of this circular.

4. RE-ELECTION OF SUPERVISORS

Pursuant to the Articles, the term of office of Supervisors are three years renewable upon re-election.

According to the Articles, the term of office of Ms. Liang Yingmei and Mr. Zheng Ercheng, who are at present Supervisors of the Company, will expire on 30 May 2010 and they being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the AGM for another three-year term commencing on 30 May 2010.

The biographies of the Supervisors standing for re-election are set out in Appendix I of this circular.

5. THE PROPOSED A SHARE ISSUE — EXTENSION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND AUTHORISATION IN RESPECT OF THE USE OF PROCEEDS

Terms used in this Section 5 and in Appendix II shall have the same meanings as defined in the Company’s circular to shareholders dated 3 May 2007 in respect of the Proposed A Share Issue (the “2007 Circular”).

— 3 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reference is made to (i) the Company’s announcement dated 19 April 2007 and (ii) the 2007 Circular; and the general meeting and class meetings voting results announcement dated 18 June 2007, 30 May 2008 and 27 May 2009 relating to the shareholders’ approval for the Proposed A Share Issue (the “Shareholders’ Approval”).

Since application for the Proposed A Share Issue is still in progress, the Shareholders’ Approval obtained in the general meeting and class meetings held on 18 June 2007, 30 May 2008 and 27 May 2009 in relation to the Proposed A Share Issue will expire on 27 May 2010, whereas because of the differing pace of development of the projects concerned, the proposed plan for the use of proceeds approved in the extraordinary general meeting of 18 June 2007 will need to be amended. As such, a further extension of the effective period of the Shareholders’ Approval until the expiration of a period of 12 months from the date of the passing of the special resolution to that effect will be sought from the Shareholders in the AGM and the respective class meetings of the H shareholders and domestic shareholders to be held on Friday, 28 May 2010. A special resolution will also be put forth in the AGM to authorised the Board to amend the previously approved use of proceeds plan.

For information relating to the Proposed A Share Issue, please refer to Appendix II and the 2007 Circular.

The Proposed A Share Issue may or may not proceed. Investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the H Shares.

6. APPROVAL FOR GUARANTEES EXTENDED ON BEHALF OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

Various PRC rules and regulations impose restrictions on a company providing guarantees to external parties under certain specified conditions. Such rules are to be observed by entities including companies seeking a listing in the PRC. Accordingly, the proposed amended article of association of the Company which is to be effective upon successful listing of the Company’s A Share included an amended Article 62 to give effect to those restrictions. The proposed article as set out in the Company’s 2007 Circular (P.24) in relation to the proposed issue of A Share is restated below:

“Article 62

In the following situation, the guarantees extended by the Company shall be considered and passed at the shareholders’ general meetings.

  • (i) Any guarantee to be issued when the total amount of guarantees of the Company and its subsidiaries have reached or exceeded 50% of their net assets of the latest audited financial statements.

  • (ii) Any guarantee to be issued when the total amount of guarantees of the Company have reached or exceeded 30% of its net assets of the latest audited financial statements.

  • (iii) To provide guarantee to any party with gearing ratio in excess of 70%.

— 4 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) Any single guarantee in excess of 10% of the net assets of the latest audited financial statements.

  • (v) Any guarantee provided to shareholders, actual controlling persons and their related parties.”

In the ordinary course of business of the Company, it is very often that it has to extended guarantees on behalf of subsidiary companies to banks. In the event that such guarantees are restricted under the above amended article, this will create significant operational difficulty while not enhancing governance of the Company. Therefore a special resolution (item no. 9 in the AGM notice) will be put forth to the shareholders to approve extension of guarantees on behalf of subsidiary companies up to RMB25 billion on condition that any guarantees extended will have to be ratified in the next shareholders meeting. This is a renewal of the corresponding resolution passed in 2008 annual general meeting.

7. RATIFICATION OF THE GUARANTEES EXTENDED ON BEHALF OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES IN THE YEAR 2009

The guarantees extended to banks by the Company on behalf of subsidiary companies in 2009 are set out on pages 11 to 13, Appendix III of this circular. All the bank loans to which the guarantees related to had been included in the balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2009. According to the approved ordinary resolution (item no. 9) of 2008 AGM and since at the time of making the guarantees, total amount of guarantees of the Company and its subsidiaries exceeded 50% of their net assets of the latest audited financial statements, the guarantees have to be ratified in the annual general meeting.

8. JOINT DEVELOPMENT WITH THIRD PARTY COMPANIES OF THE GUANGZHOU ASIAN GAMES CITY PROJECT

On 22 December 2009, the Company, Agile Property Holdings Limited and Country Garden Holdings Company Limited together successfully bid for the Guangzhou Asian Games City Project for a consideration of RMB25.5 billion. The site area is approximately 2.64 million sq.m. with an aggregate GFA of approximately 4.38 million sq.m. Please refer to the Company’s announcement of 23 December 2009 for more details. According to internal rules of the Company, the acquisition which was over 50% of the net asset value of the Company as per latest financial statements, a special resolution (item no. 11 in the AGM notice) will be proposed to seek shareholders’ approval and authorized the Board to sign the related documents.

9. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND CLASS MEETINGS

The AGM, class meeting of holders of Domestic Shares and class meeting of holders of H Shares will be held at 11:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. respectively on Friday, 28 May 2010 at 54/F., Conference Room, R&F Center, No. 10 Huaxia Road, Pearl River New Town, Guangzhou, PRC. The notice of the AGM and class meetings are set out on pages 14 to 23 in Appendix IV, Appendix V and Appendix VI.
