APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Buyback Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,093,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 11 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 2,093,000,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force, an aggregate nominal amount of the Shares not exceeding HK$20,930,000 (equivalent to 209,300,000 Shares), representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUYBACK
The Directors believe that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Buyback Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
The Company is empowered by its Memorandum and Articles of Association to repurchase Shares. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that a purchase of Shares may be made (to the extent of the par value of such shares) out of profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for such purpose or, out of capital, provided that the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business and the purchase is authorized by its Articles of Association. Any premium payable on a purchase may be made out of profits, the Company’s share premium account or out of capital, provided that the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business and the purchase is authorized by its Articles of Association.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
There might 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 annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2010) in the event that the Buyback Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such an 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 befitting the Company.
5. TAKEOVERS CODE AND THE PUBLIC FLOAT REQUIREMENT
If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a 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 Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and upon full exercise of the Buyback Mandate are set out below:
| Controlling Shareholders: Mr. Leung Kai Kuen (Note (1)) Ms. Tam Ming Luen (Note (2)) Public Shareholders |
As at the Latest Practicable Date Number of issued Shares held Percentage of issued share capital of the Company 475,050,000 22.70% 785,100,000 37.51% |
As at the Latest Practicable Date Number of issued Shares held Percentage of issued share capital of the Company 475,050,000 22.70% 785,100,000 37.51% |

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
Notes:
-
(1) Mr. Leung Kai Kuen was deemed to be interest in these 475,050,000 Shares which were held by City Legend International Limited, a corporation wholly owned by Mr. Leung. Among these 475,050,000 Shares, 168,750,000 Shares were held under a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) entered into between Firstrate Enterprises Limited (“Firstrate”) and Mr. Leung Kai Kuen. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Firstrate granted an unsecured loan in the amount of HK$100,000,000 to Mr. Leung Kai Kuen, in consideration of which Firstrate was granted a right to exchange the entire outstanding principal of the loan into these 168,750,000 Shares in the manner as set out in the Loan Agreement.
-
(2) Ms. Tam Ming Luen was deemed to be interest in these 785,100,000 Shares which were held by Trump Max International Investment Limited, a corporation wholly owned by Ms. Tam.

(3) On the presumption that (i) the issued share capital of the Company remained at 2,093,000,000 Shares immediately before the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate; and (ii) the number of Shares held by the controlling Shareholders as set out in the above table remained unchanged immediately after the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate.
In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding percentage of the above controlling Shareholders would, based on their current shareholding, be increased to approximately 66.90% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Buyback Mandate. Moreover, the Directors will not make share repurchase on the Stock Exchange if such repurchase would result in the obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code or would result in the public float requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules not being complied with.
6. GENERAL
None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Company has not been notified by any connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
