LETTER FROM THE BOARD
7. PROCEDURES TO VOTE
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, voting of all resolutions at the Annual General Meeting will be taken by way of poll and the results of the Annual General Meeting will be announced by the Company in compliance with the Listing Rules.
8. CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS
The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 24 June 2016 to Tuesday, 28 June 2016, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, all properly completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 23 June 2016.
9. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
10. RECOMMENDATION
The Directors consider that the proposed grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate and the proposed re-election of retiring Directors to be considered at the Annual General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. The Directors believe that an exercise of the Issue Mandate will enable the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for the Company. The Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be exercised when the Directors believe that such repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the Company’s published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all the resolutions set out in the Notice to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
The appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, which is required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Share Buy Back Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to purchase their securities subject to certain restrictions.
The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution in a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,152,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Mandate, the Company would be allowed to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 115,200,000 Shares on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or otherwise repurchased and cancelled prior to the date of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchase may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangement at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the Companies Law and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
It is presently proposed that any purchase of the Shares would be made out of profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue made for the purpose or out of capital provided that on the day immediately following the date of repurchase the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
— 8 —
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
Taking into account the current financial position of the Company, the Directors consider the repurchase of Shares in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the published audited financial statements as at 31 December 2015, but the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months prior to the printing of this circular were as follows:
| **Share ** | prices | |

7. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC FLOAT
If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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.
— 9 —
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar the Directors are aware of, Visual Wise had interests in 354,367,020 Shares, representing 30.67% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full, the interest of Visual Wise in the Company will be increased to approximately 34.18%. On the basis of the aforesaid increase of shareholding, the Directors are not presently aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
8. SHARE REPURCHASES BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) has been made by the Company in the six months preceding the date of this circular.
