CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE
SUMMARY
A change of the board lot size for trading in the Shares of the Company from 20,000 Shares to 4,000 Shares will become effective from 9:30 a.m. on Monday, 26 February 2007.
Shareholders may submit their share certificates in board lot(s) of 20,000 Shares (yellow in colour) to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong in exchange for new share certificates in board lots of 4,000 Shares (light blue in colour) free of charge between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any business day from Thursday, 8 February 2007 to Monday, 26 March 2007 (both dates inclusive).
The Board wishes to announce that the board lot size for trading in the Shares will be changed from 20,000 Shares to 4,000 Shares with effect from 9:30 a.m. on Monday, 26 February 2007.
The change in board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. No odd lots of the Shares will be resulted from the aforesaid change of the board lot size, other than those already existed before such change becoming effective.
Based on the closing price of HK$1.57 per Share as at the date of this announcement and the existing board lot size of 20,000 Shares, the prevailing board lot value is HK$31,400. On the basis of the aforesaid closing price and the new board lot size of 4,000 Shares, the new board lot value would be HK$6,280. The change in board lot size will decrease the value of each board lot of the Shares and is expected to increase interests, particularly among retail investors, in trading in the Shares, thereby enhancing the liquidity of the Shares and broadening the Shareholders base of the Company. The Directors consider that the change of the board lot size is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FREE EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES
In respect of the change of board lot size, Shareholders may submit their Existing Share Certificates in board lot(s) of 20,000 Shares (yellow in colour) to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Abacus Share Registrars Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, in exchange for the New Share Certificates in board lots of 4,000 Shares (light blue in colour) free of charge between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any business day from Thursday, 8 February 2007 to Monday, 26 March 2007 (both dates inclusive). It is expected that New Share Certificates will be available for collection within 10 business days after the submission of the Existing Share Certificates to Abacus Share Registrars Limited for exchange.
From 27 March 2007 onwards, exchange of Existing Share Certificates for New Share Certificates can only be made at a cost of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be allowed by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited from time to time) for each Existing Share Certificate cancelled or each New Share Certificate issued, whichever number of share certificates involved is higher. All Existing Share Certificates in board lots of 20,000 Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title to such Shares and will be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.
As from Monday, 26 February 2007, any New Share Certificate will be issued in board lots of 4,000 Shares. The New Share Certificates will be issued in light blue colour in order to distinguish them from the Existing Share Certificates which are in yellow colour.
