LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Bye-law 87 of the Company’s Bye-laws, Ms. Lam Suk Ling, Shirley and Mr. Leung Ka Kui, Johnny shall retire at the AGM and being eligible, will offer themselves for reelection.

At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to re-elect the retiring Directors who offer themselves for re-election. The biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed to be reelected as required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix to this circular.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

The Board proposes to grant the Share Issue Mandate to allow the Directors to issue, allot or otherwise deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM.

Based on the 1,503,750,505 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are issued by the Company prior to the AGM, subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Share Issue Mandate at the AGM, the Directors will be authorised to allot, issue or otherwise deal with a maximum of 300,750,101 Shares under the Share Issue Mandate, representing 20% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Share Issue Mandate will, if granted, remain effective until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by Bermuda law or the Bye-Laws; and (iii) the revocation or variation of the Share Issue Mandate by the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting.

4. REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme on 12 June 2004 in compliance with the amendments to the Listing Rules in respect of the share option scheme of a listed company.

Under the rules of the Share Option Scheme:

  • (1) the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the Share Option Scheme (“Scheme Mandate Limit”);

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (2) the Scheme Mandate Limit may be renewed by obtaining approval of the Shareholders in general meeting such that the total number of Shares in respect of which options may be granted by the Board under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company in issue shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the renewed limit. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the Share Option Scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating such 10% renewed limit; and

  • (3) notwithstanding the above, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time (the “Overall Limit”).

As at 12 June 2004, being the date of approving the Share Option Scheme, the total number of issued Shares was 458,308,545 Shares and the Scheme Mandate Limit was 45,830,854 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approving the Share Option Scheme.

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 25 June 2005, the Scheme Mandate Limit was further refreshed to allow the Company to grant Options entitling holders to subscribe for Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of approving the refreshment, which amounted to 68,746,281 Options.

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 21 June 2008, the Scheme Mandate Limit was further refreshed to allow the Company to grant Options entitling holders to subscribe for Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of approving the refreshment, which amounted to 79,663,681 Options.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has granted an aggregate of 99,640,000 Options under the Share Option Scheme pursuant to the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed on 21 June 2008, of which 652,000 Options were exercised, 21,214,000 Options lapsed, and no Options were cancelled. Therefore, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 77,774,000 Options outstanding and unexercised under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed on 21 June 2008 to which holders were entitled to subscribe for 77,774,000 Shares.

As approximately 97.67% of the Scheme Mandate Limit of 79,663,681 Options as refreshed on 21 June 2008 has been depleted, the Directors are of the view that in order to provide incentives and rewards to the Participants for their contribution to, and continuing efforts to promote the interests of, the Group by granting Options to them, the Scheme Mandate Limit shall be refreshed to provide the Company with greater flexibility.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,503,750,505 Shares in issue. Assuming there is no further allotment and issue or repurchase of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, upon the passing of the resolution to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the AGM, the Scheme Mandate Limit will be refreshed to 150,375,050 Shares only. On the basis of the Scheme Mandate Limit of 150,375,050 Shares (as refreshed) and the Remaining Options, the Company will be allowed to allot and issue a maximum of 228,342,018 Shares, representing approximately 15.18% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date (the “Available Limit”). To the extent that there are any unutilized Options under the Scheme Mandate Limit as initially approved by the Shareholders at the time of adoption of the Share Option Scheme on 12 June 2004 and the further refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit as approved by the Shareholders on 21 June 2008, all such unutilized Options will be considered as lapsed upon the approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM and the Company will not be allowed to grant any further Options pursuant thereto.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On the basis of 1,503,750,505 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, the 30% Overall Limit represents a total of 451,125,151 Shares. Accordingly, the Available Limit arising from the Scheme Mandate Limit (as refreshed) does not exceed the 30% Overall Limit as at the Latest Practicable Date.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the grantees under the Share Option Scheme has been granted with Options which exceed the limit of 1% of the Shares in issue in any 12- month period as set out in Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules and none of the Directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules), or any of their respective associates has been granted with Options which would 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 such grant representing an aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue and having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Shares at the date of each grant, in excess of HK$5 million as set out in Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules.

The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  1. the passing by the Shareholders of an ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and

  2. the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options to be granted under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the grant of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options to be granted under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

5. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

On pages 11 to 14 of this circular, you will find the AGM Notice setting out the relevant resolutions which will be proposed to approve the re-election of the retiring Directors, the Share Issue Mandate and the refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme.

Where there are joint registered holders of any share, any one of such persons may vote at any meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto; but if more than one of such joint holders be present at any meeting personally or by proxy, that one of the said persons so present whose name stands first on the register of members in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.

  3. A form of proxy for use at the annual general meeting is enclosed herewith.

  4. The form of proxy and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority must be lodged at the Company’s principal place of business at Units 3303-3304, Level 33, Tower 1, Enterprise Square Five, 38 Wang Chiu Road, Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the annual general meeting or adjourned meeting (as the case may be) and in default the form of proxy shall not be treated as valid. Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude members from attending and voting in person at the annual general meeting or at any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) should they so wish.
