The number of the Scrip Shares to be allotted to the Shareholders pursuant to the Scrip Dividend Scheme was calculated by reference to the market value of HK$1.43 per Share which was the average of the closing prices per Share (the “Average Closing Price”) as quoted on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) for the five consecutive trading days up to and including 11 September 2012. Accordingly, the number of the Scrip Shares which the Shareholders are entitled to receive in respect of the existing Shares registered under their names as at the Record Date will be calculated as follows:
Number of the Number of existing Shares HK$0.05 (Final Dividend per Share) Scrip Shares that held on the Record Date or = x Shareholders number of Shares elected for HK$1.43 (Average Closing Price) are entitled to receive the Scrip Shares (as applicable)
The number of the Scrip Shares to be issued to each Shareholder will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Fractional entitlements will be disregarded and the benefit thereof will accrue to the Company. The Scrip Shares to be issued pursuant to the Scrip Dividend Scheme will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Shares except that they will not be entitled to the Final Dividend.
The Shareholders who wish to receive the Final Dividend in cash, or partly in cash and partly in Scrip Shares are reminded that a form of election (the “Form of Election”) (if applicable) as attached to a circular to be issued by the Company describing the details of the Scrip Dividend Scheme (the “Circular”), must be completed and returned to the Hong Kong share registrar of the Company, Tricor Standard Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, not later than 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 10 October 2012.
Failure to complete and return the Form of Election in accordance with the instructions printed thereon will result in the relevant Shareholder’s Final Dividend being paid wholly in the form of the Scrip Shares.
