Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 5 of the AGM Notice in request of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 186,267,948 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase the Shares in the market. Repurchases of the Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Shares and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Bye-laws, the applicable laws of Bermuda and the Listing Rules. The Company may not repurchase its own Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time. Bermuda laws provide that the Shares may be repurchased out of the profits of the Company and/or out of the proceed of a fresh issue of the Shares made for this purpose and/or even out of the capital paid up on the repurchased Shares.

5. SHARE PRICES

– 13 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, as defined in the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong), in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person, as defined in the Listing Rules, of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company, in the event that the Repurchases Mandate is exercised.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of the Shares by the Company, 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. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code) 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.

On the basis that the total number of Shares in issue of the Company remains unchanged and no Shares are repurchased prior and on the date of the AGM, the Directors are not aware of any consequence that would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would result in a takeover obligation or the total number of Shares in issue of the Company being held by the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
