CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
The Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSALS RELATING TO
(1) GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES
(2) RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND (3) NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
At the annual general meeting of China Media and Films Holdings Limited (the “Company”) for the year ended 31st December 2012, resolutions will be proposed to approve (a) the granting to the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) general mandates to issue shares and repurchase shares of the Company, and (b) the re-election of Directors.
- for identification purpose only — 1 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to give you further details of the abovementioned proposals and notice of the annual general meeting of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2012 (the “AGM”). In compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) (the “GEM Listing Rules”), this circular also contains an explanatory statement in the “Letter from the Board” section in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and gives you all the information reasonably necessary to enable shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the purchase by the Company of its own shares, together with particulars of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM.
GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and dispose of shares of the Company not exceeding 20 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company to provide flexibility to the Company to raise fund by issue of shares efficiently. On 10 April 2013 (the “Latest Practicable Date”), being the latest practicable date prior to printing of this circular, there were in issue an aggregate of 505,649,726 shares of HK$0.01 each of the Company (“Shares”). On the assumption that no Share will be issued prior to the AGM, exercise in full of the mandate could result in up to 101,129,945 Shares being issued by the Company.
In addition, it is further proposed, by way of a separate ordinary resolution that the general mandate be extended so that the Directors be given a general mandate to issue further Shares in the Company of an aggregate nominal amount equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased under the general mandate.
GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed that the Directors be given a general mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase issued and fully paid Shares of the Company. Under such mandate, the number of Shares that the Company may repurchase shall not exceed 10 per cent. of the share capital of the Company in issue on the date of the resolution. The Company’s authority is restricted to purchases made on the Stock Exchange in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules. Based on 505,649,726 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and on the assumption that no Share will be issued prior to the AGM, exercise in full of the mandate could result in up to 50,564,972 Shares being repurchased by the Company. The mandate allows the Company to make or agree to make purchases only during the period ending on the earliest of (a) the date of the next annual general meeting, (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
of the Company is required to be held by law or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.
The following serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules to provide certain information 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 AGM in relation to the granting of the general mandate to repurchase the Company’s own Shares.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the mandate will provide the Company the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases may enhance the net value of the Company and/or earnings per Share. As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31st December 2012 (being the date of its latest audited accounts), the Directors consider that there would be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed purchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed purchase period. No purchase would be made in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.
The Company is empowered by its Memorandum of Continuance and Bye-laws to purchase its Shares. Bermuda law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium or contributed surplus accounts of the Company.
The Directors intend to apply the capital paid up on the relevant Shares or the profit that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend for any purchase of its Shares.
Directors, their associates and connected persons
None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of the associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules)

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
of any of the Directors has any present intention, in the event that the proposal is approved by shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.
No connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/ she undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make purchases of Shares.
Undertaking of the Directors
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Bermuda, and in accordance with the regulations set out in the Memorandum of Continuance and Bye-laws of the Company.
Effect of Takeovers Code
A repurchase of Shares by the Company may result in an increase in the proportionate interest of a substantial shareholder of the Company in the voting rights of the Company, which could give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Takeovers Code”).
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, Culture Landmark Investment Limited (“Culture Landmark”) was deemed to be interested in 245,097,022 Shares through its wholly-owned subsidiary, New Asia Media Development Limited (“New Asia Media”), representing approximately 48.47 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. Riche (BVI) Limited held 146,640,000 Shares through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riche Advertising Limited, representing approximately 29 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. Riche (BVI) Limited is in turn whollyowned by Eternity Investment Limited (“Eternity”). Hence, the substantial shareholders holding more than 10 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company are Culture Landmark, New Asia Media, Eternity, Riche (BVI) Limited and Riche Advertising Limited. 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, Culture Landmark and New Asia Media’s shareholding in the Company would be increased to approximately 53.86 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company, and Eternity, Riche (BVI) Limited and Riche Advertising Limited’s shareholding in the Company would be increased to approximately 32.22 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are aware that such increase may give rise to Eternity, Riche (BVI) Limited and Riche Advertising Limited an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and reduce the aggregate amount of the issued share capital of the Company in public

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
hands to less than 25%. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the general mandate to such extent as would result in such takeover obligation. The Directors also have no present intention to repurchase Shares to such extent as would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
Stock Exchange Rules for repurchases of shares
The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:
(a) Shareholders’ approval
The GEM Listing Rules provide that all share repurchases on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, which may be by way of general mandate, or by special resolution in relation to specific transactions.
(b) Source of funds
Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose.
General
During each of the six months preceding the date of this circular, no Shares had been repurchased by the Company.
