Resolutions will be put forward at the AGM to consider the re-election of the retiring directors.
3. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 28 June 2007, general mandate was granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to issue Shares. Under the terms of the Listing Rules and the resolution granting such mandate, the general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM, unless renewed at that meeting.
An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Share Issue Mandate.

Details of the Share Issue Mandate are set out in the Ordinary Resolution No. 4 in the AGM Notice.
4. REFRESHMENT OF THE 10% GENERAL LIMIT ON GRANT OF OPTIONS UNDER THE EXISTING SCHEME
The Company adopted the Existing 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 Existing Scheme:
- (1) the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Existing 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 Existing 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 Existing 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 Existing Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the Existing 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 Existing 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 Existing 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 Existing 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has granted an aggregate of 67,800,000 Options under the Existing Scheme pursuant to the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed on 25 June 2005, of which 6,150,000 Options were exercised, no Options were lapsed, and 38,000,000 Options were cancelled under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed on 25 June 2005. Therefore, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 23,650,000 Options outstanding and unexercised under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed on 25 June 2005 to which holders were entitled to subscribe for 23,650,000 Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Details of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit and movements of Options granted under the Existing Scheme are summarized as follows:

As approximately 98.62% of the Scheme Mandate Limit of 68,746,281 Options as refreshed on 25 June 2005 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 796,636,817 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 79,663,681 Shares only. On the basis of the Scheme Mandate Limit of 79,663,681 Shares (as refreshed) and the Remaining Options, the Company will be allowed to allot and issue a maximum of 118,153,447 Shares, representing approximately 14.83% 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 25 June 2005, 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 796,636,817 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, the 30% Overall Limit represents a total of 238,991,045 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 12month 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:
-
the passing by the Shareholders of an ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and
-
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. INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
It will be proposed at the AGM that an ordinary resolution to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$100,000,000 comprising 1,000,000,000 Shares to HK$200,000,000 comprising 2,000,000,000 Shares.
The increase in the authorised share capital will create sufficient number of unissued Shares to facilitate the issue of new Shares upon the exercise of (i) the options which remain outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) the new options which may be granted following the approval of the refreshment of the 10% general limit on grant of options under the Existing Scheme at the AGM; (iii) the subscription rights attaching to the Unlisted Warrants; (iv) the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants, and (v) a reserve for future issue of Shares.
