LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

By order of the Board Kith Holdings Limited Hui King Chun, Andrew Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

This is the explanatory statement to provide requisite information to all Shareholders for their consideration of the proposed general mandate to be granted to the Directors to purchase securities of the Company as required by the relevant provision set out in the Listing Rules to regulate the repurchase by companies with primary listings on the Stock Exchange of their own securities on the Stock Exchange.

1. CONNECTED PARTIES

The Company has not been notified by any connected persons of the Company that they have a present intention to sell to the Company any securities of the Company, nor have they undertaken not to sell any securities of the Company held by them to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by Shareholders.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 261,453,600 Shares. Subject to the passing of ordinary resolution (5) set out in the notice convening the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Proposal to repurchase a maximum of 26,145,360 Shares. No purchases of securities have been made by the Company in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

3. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY BACK

Although the Directors have no present intention of purchasing any shares, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Proposal would be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders. Trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile in recent years. At any time in the future when securities are trading at a discount to their underlying value, the ability of the Company to purchase shares will be beneficial to those shareholders who retain their investment in the Company since their attributable percentage of interest in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of securities purchased by the Company. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such purchases in circumstances where they consider them to be beneficial to the Company and Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Directors propose that purchases of securities of the Company under the Repurchase Proposal in these circumstances would be financed from the Company’s internal resources or existing banking facilities.

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws of the Company and applicable laws of Bermuda, namely The Companies Act 1981.

6

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 31st December, 2011) in the event that the Repurchase Proposal were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the buy back mandate to such extent as would in the circumstances have a material adverse impact 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.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest market prices for Shares recorded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months were as follows:

Shares
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2011
April 1.62 1.49
May 1.63 1.40
June 1.54 1.31
July 1.52 1.30
August 1.40 1.03
September 1.43 1.02
October 1.24 1.00
November 1.22 1.03
December 1.14 1.00
2012
January 1.10 1.02
February 1.19 1.03
March 1.22 1.10
April (Latest Practicable Date) 1.05 0.88

6. UNDERTAKING

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution in respect of the Repurchase Proposal at the AGM, the Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda.

No other connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell the Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

7. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

If as a result of a securities repurchase, Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Code and such increase, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for Shares under Rule 26 of the Code. Should the Directors exercise the power of the Company under this general mandate, based on the current shareholding structure of the Company, the Directors are not aware of any obligation that would arise under the Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Directors’ interests in the Shares are as follows:

Percentage of the
Number of issued issued share capital
Name of director Capacity ordinary shares held of the Company
Mr. Hui King Chun, Andrew Held by trust_(Note)_ 161,000,000 61.58%
Mr. Liu Kam Lung Beneficially held 152,000 0.06%
Held by children under
18 or spouse 100,000 0.04%
252,000 0.10%

Note: These shares are registered in the name of Accufit Investments Inc., a company indirectly wholly-owned by a discretionary trust, the beneficiaries of which are the family members of Mr. Hui King Chun, Andrew.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates, presently intends to sell Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Proposal in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by Shareholders.

8. HONG KONG CODES ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS AND SHARE REPURCHASES

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increase, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Code and would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, Accufit and its associates were the substantial shareholders holding more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the resolution, the shareholding of Accufit and its associates in the Company would be increased from approximately 61.58% (excluding shares under the put option arrangement as mentioned above) to approximately 68.42% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Code.
