GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES
AND PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND ADOPTION OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND TERMINATION OF THE EXISTING SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
adding to it the amount of Shares repurchased; (ii) the proposed re-election of Directors; (iii) the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme; and (iv) the termination of the 2002 Share Option Scheme in order to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolutions nos. 2, 4 to 7 to be proposed at the AGM.
GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
At the AGM, ordinary resolutions nos. 4 and 6 of the AGM Notice will be proposed which, if passed, will give the Directors a general mandate to issue new Shares representing up to (i) 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing the resolution plus (ii) the nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company (under the authority granted pursuant to the Repurchase Resolution) subsequent to the passing of such resolution.
On the basis of a total of 3,699,183,927 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no other Shares will be issued or repurchased whatsoever between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Issue Mandate (if granted by the Shareholders at the AGM) will empower the Directors to allot, issue or otherwise deal in up to a maximum of 739,836,785 new Shares, being 20% of the total issued capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
ADOPTION OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND TERMINATION OF THE 2002 SHARE OPTION SCHEME
As the 2002 Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 4 June 2002 and would expire on 3 June 2012, the Board has taken this opportunity to review and consider the rules of the 2002 Share Option Scheme and has proposed to terminate the 2002 Share Option Scheme and adopt the New Share Option Scheme. Upon termination of the 2002 Share Option Scheme, no further options will be granted thereunder; however, the rules of the 2002 Share Option Scheme will remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of option granted prior to its termination or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the rules of the 2002 Share Option Scheme. Options granted prior to such termination will continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the rules of the 2002 Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 24,800,000 options granted but not yet exercised under the 2002 Share Option Scheme.
The New Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:-
-
(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve the termination of the 2002 Share Option Scheme;
-
(b) the passing of an ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve and adopt the New Share Option Scheme and to authorise the Board to grant the Options thereunder and to allot, issue and deal with the Shares which fall to be issued by the Company pursuant to the exercise of the Options under the New Share Option Scheme; and
-
(c) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of and permission to deal in such number of Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to the exercise of the Options which may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme.
The purpose of the New Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant Options to Participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company.
Under the New Share Option Scheme, the Board has the authority to set terms and conditions in the grant of the Options (i.e. to set conditions in relation to the minimum period of the Options to be held and/or the performance targets to be achieved before such Options can be exercised and the requirement for a minimum subscription price). With such authority and flexibility, the Directors may impose different conditions in the grant of the Options to the Participants as they consider appropriate with a view to achieving the purpose of the New Share Option Scheme as stated above.
None of the Directors is a trustee of the New Share Option Scheme nor has any direct or indirect interest in the trustees.
— 5 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Scheme mandate limit and maximum number of Shares to be issued under the New Share Option Scheme
Shares which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of all Options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme at any time may not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the New Share Option Scheme.
On the basis of 3,699,183,927 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the scheme limit for the New Share Option Scheme will be 369,918,392 Shares under Rule 17.03(3) of the Listing Rules, should the New Share Option Scheme be adopted.
Value of the Options
The Company considers that it would not be appropriate to state the value of all Options that could be granted under the New Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date, as a number of variables which are crucial for the calculation of the Option value are yet to be determined. Such variables include the subscription price payable for the Shares, exercise period, any lock-up period and any performance target. The Company believes that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a number of speculative assumptions would be misleading to the Shareholders.
A summary of the principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme which is proposed to be approved and adopted by the Company at the AGM is set out in Appendix III on pages 15 to 22 of this circular. A copy of the rules of the New Share Option Scheme is available for inspection at the registered office of the Company at Rooms 3206-3210, 32/F., China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong during normal business hours on any weekdays other than public holidays from the date of this circular up to and including the date of the AGM.
AGM
The AGM Notice which contains, inter alia, resolutions to approve the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate, the re-election of the Directors, the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and the termination of the 2002 Share Option Scheme is set out on pages 23 to 27 of this circular. To the extent that the Directors are aware having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on any resolution at the AGM.
A form of proxy is herewith enclosed for use at the AGM. Whether or not you propose to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Standard Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the AGM. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not prevent Shareholders from attending and voting at the AGM if they so wish.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
VOTING BY WAY OF POLL
Pursuant to Rule 13.39 of the Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at the general meetings must be taken by poll. The chairman of the meeting will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM pursuant to Article 80 of the Articles.
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DIRECTORS
This circular for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board believes that the granting of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate, the re-election of retiring Directors, the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and the termination of the 2002 Share Option Scheme as set out in the AGM Notice are all in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Board recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of the relevant resolutions as set out in the AGM Notice.
Yours faithfully, By order of the Board China Strategic Holdings Limited Ma Si Hang, Frederick Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide requisite information for Shareholders to consider the Repurchase Mandate.
1. Share Capital
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,699,183,927 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 369,918,392 Shares (representing not more than 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution).
2. Reasons for Repurchases
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
3. Funding of Repurchases
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles and the Companies Ordinance. The Companies Ordinance provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid from the distributable profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase to such extent allowable under the Companies Ordinance.
In the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, the working capital or gearing position of the Company might be materially different as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts for the year ended 31 December 2010. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share 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
APPENDIX I
6. Takeovers Code
If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register of the Company kept under section 336 of the SFO, there is no Shareholder who has an interest of 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company.
The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.
7. Share Repurchase Made By The Company

TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME
APPENDIX III
This Appendix summaries the principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme but does not form part of, nor was it intended to be, part of the New Share Option Scheme nor should it be taken as effecting interpretation of the rules of the New Share Option Scheme.
1. Summary of terms
(A) Purpose of the New Share Option Scheme
The purpose of the New Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant Options to Participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Company and/or the subsidiaries of the Company.
(B) Participants of the New Share Option Scheme
The Participants of the New Share Option Scheme to whom option(s) (“Options”) may be granted by the Board shall include any employee (whether full time or part time), executives or officers of the Company or any of the subsidiaries of the Company (including executive and non-executive Directors) and any business consultants, agents, financial or legal advisers who the Board considers, in it sole discretion, will contribute or have contributed to the Company or any of the subsidiaries of the Company.
(C) Maximum number of Shares available for subscription
-
(i) The total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options which may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and options which may be granted under any other share option schemes of the Company shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the adoption date (the “Adoption Date”) of the New Share Option Scheme (the “Scheme Mandate Limit”) unless the Company obtains a refresh approval from the Shareholders pursuant to paragraph (C)(ii) below. Option lapsed in accordance with the terms of the New Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company under which such Options are granted, as the case may be, shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating whether the Scheme Mandate Limit has been exceeded.
-
(ii) The Company may seek approval by the Shareholders in general meetings for refreshing the Scheme Mandate Limit. However, the total number of the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company under the Scheme Mandate Limit must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the approval of the renewal of the Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders. Options previously granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company and exercised options) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed. In seeking approval, the Company shall send a circular to the Shareholders.

APPENDIX III
TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME
-
(iii) The Company may seek separate approval by the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company for granting the Options to Participant(s) beyond the Scheme Mandate Limit provided the Options in excess of the limit are granted only to the Participants specifically identified by the Company before such approval is sought. In seeking such approval, the Company must send a circular to the Shareholders containing a generic description of the specified Participants who may be granted such Options, the number and terms of the Options to be granted, the purpose of granting option to the specified Participant, with an explanation as to how the terms of the Options serve such purpose and other information in compliance with the Listing Rules.
-
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the New Share Option Scheme and options which may be granted and yet to be exercised under any other share option schemes of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time. No Options may be granted under any share option schemes of the Company (or its subsidiaries) if this will result in the limit being exceeded.
(D) Maximum number of Options to each Participant
The total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the Options granted to each Participant (including both exercised and outstanding Options) in any 12-month period must not exceed 1% of the Shares for the time being in issue and any further grant of the Options to a Participant shall not result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Options granted and to be granted to such Participant (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding Options) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such further grant representing in aggregate over 1% of the Shares in issue unless the proposed grant or proposed further grant has been approved by the Shareholders in general meeting with the proposed Participant who accepts the offer of the grant of any Option in accordance with the terms of the New Share Option Scheme (the “Grantee”) and his associates (as defined in the relevant rule of the Listing Rules) abstaining from voting. A circular must be sent to the Shareholders disclosing the identity of the proposed Grantee, the number and terms of the Options to be granted (and options previously granted to such Grantee) and other information in compliance with the Listing Rules. The number and terms of Options to be granted to such proposed Grantee must be fixed before the Shareholders approval and the date of meeting of the Board for proposing such further grant should be taken as the date for the purpose of calculating the Subscription Price (as defined in paragraph (H)).
(E) Grant of Options to connected person

TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME
-
(ii) Where any grant of Option is proposed to a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company or an independent non-executive Director or any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) and the proposed grant of Option, when aggregated will result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Options already granted and to be granted (including Options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of grant,
