Dear Sir or Madam,

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE H SHARES RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND SUPERVISORS

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the special resolution to be proposed at the forthcoming EGM, H Shareholders EGM and Domestic Shareholders EGM to grant the Directors a general mandate to exercise the power of the Company to undertake repurchases of the Company’s fully paid-up H Shares not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal value of H Shares in issue of the Company on the date of passing such special resolution. As the service terms of some of the Directors and Supervisors are due to expire, the Company also intends to re-elect its Directors and Supervisors at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company Law (to which the Company is subject) provides that a joint stock limited company incorporated in the PRC may not repurchase its shares unless such repurchase is effected for the purpose of reducing its share capital or, in connection with a merger between itself and another entity that holds its shares. The Company, if it effects a repurchase, at present intends to reduce its share capital. The Mandatory Provisions which the Company has followed in its Articles of Association provides that subject to obtaining the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities and compliance with its articles of association, share repurchases may be effected by a joint stock limited company listed outside the PRC for the purpose of reducing its share capital or in connection with a merger, between itself and another entity that holds its shares or in circumstances permitted by law or administrative regulations.

The Listing Rules permit shareholders of a PRC joint stock limited company to grant a general mandate to the Directors to repurchase H shares of such company that are listed on the Stock Exchange. Such mandate is required to be given by way of a special resolution passed by shareholders in general meeting and special resolution passed by holders of domestic shares and overseas listed Foreign Shares in separate meetings.

In addition, as the H Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in Hong Kong dollars and the price payable by the Company upon any repurchase of H Shares will, therefore, be paid in Hong Kong dollars, the approval of the SAEC is also required.

In accordance with the requirements of Article 4.2 of the Articles of Association applicable to capital reduction, the Company will have to notify its creditors of the passing of such special resolution and the reduction to the registered capital of the Company that would occur should the Directors decide to exercise the Repurchase Mandate. Such notification has to be given in writing to the Company’s creditors within 10 days after the passing of such special resolution and also by way of the publication on at least 3 occasions of a press announcement within 30 days after the passing of such special resolution. Creditors then have a period of up to 30 days after the Company’s written notification or, if no such notification has been received, up to 90 days after the first publication of the press announcement to require the Company to repay amounts due to them or to provide guarantees in respect of such amounts.

CONDITIONS TO REPURCHASE H SHARES

In order to ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable to repurchase any H Shares (including where such repurchase may lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per H Share and/or the earnings per H Share), approval is being sought from the Shareholders for a conditional general mandate to repurchase H Shares in issue. In accordance with the legal and regulatory requirements described above, the Directors will convene the EGM, the H Shareholders EGM and the Domestic Shareholders EGM. At each such meeting, a special resolution, amongst other things, will be proposed to grant to the Directors a conditional general mandate to repurchase H Shares in issue on the

−5 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Stock Exchange with an aggregate nominal value not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal value of H Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of the passing of such resolution. The Repurchase Mandate will be conditional upon (a) the special resolution approving the grant of the Repurchase Mandate being approved at each of the EGM, the H Shareholders EGM and the Domestic Shareholders EGM; (b) the approvals of the relevant regulatory authorities as required by the laws, rules and regulations of the PRC being obtained; and (c) the Company not being required by any of its creditors to repay or to provide guarantee in respect of any amount due to any of them (or if the Company is so required by any of its creditors, the Company having, in its absolute discretion, repaid or provided guarantee in respect of such amount) pursuant to the notification procedure under Article 4.2 of the Articles of Association as described above. If the Company determines to repay any amount to any of its creditors in circumstances described under condition (c), it expects to do so out of its internal resources. If the conditions are not fulfilled, the Share Repurchase Mandate will not be exercisable by the Directors.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

A special resolution, amongst other things, will be proposed at the EGM, H Shareholders EGM and Domestic Shareholders EGM to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate, details of which are set out in special resolution numbered 4 of the notice of the EGM, special resolution in the notice of H Shareholders EGM and special resolution in the notice of the Domestic Shareholders EGM. The H Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate nominal value of H Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolutions approving the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement giving certain information regarding the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND SUPERVISORS

As the service term of some of the Directors and Supervisors are due to expire, the Company intends to re-elect its Directors and Supervisors at the upcoming EGM. Brief biographical details of the Directors and Supervisors to be re-elected are contained in Appendix II of this circular.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING, H SHAREHOLDERS EGM AND DOMESTIC SHAREHOLDERS EGM

The notices convening the EGM and H Shareholders EGM are set out in pages 17 to 25 of this circular and were published on 29th November, 2004. The notice convening the Domestic Shareholders EGM were published on 29th November, 2004.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

In accordance with the Listing Rules, this appendix serves as an explanatory statement, to provide you with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make all informed decision on whether to vote for or, against special resolution numbered 4 to be proposed at the EGM, special resolution to be proposed at the H Shareholders EGM and the special resolution to be proposed at the Domestic Shareholders EGM.

SECURITIES REPURCHASE MANDATE

Reasons for Repurchase of H Shares

The Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to and in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at such time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share of the Company. Such repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

Registered Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the Company was RMB992,006,563 comprising of 459,589,808 H Shares of RMB1.00 each and 532,416,755 Domestic Shares of RMB1.00 each.

Exercise of the Repurchase Mandate

Subject to the passing of special resolution numbered 4 set out in the notice of EGM, the special resolution approving the grant to the Directors of the Repurchase Mandate in the H Shareholders EGM and Domestic Shareholders EGM respectively, the Directors will be granted the Repurchase Mandate until the end of the Relevant Period (as defined in special resolution numbered 4 in the notice of EGM). The exercise of the Repurchase Mandate is subject to the approvals of the relevant regulatory authorities as required by the laws, rules and regulations of the PRC being obtained and to the Company not being required by any of its creditors to repay or to provide guarantee in respect of any amount due to any of them (or, if the Company is so required by any of its creditors, the Company having, in its absolute discretion, repaid or provided guarantee in respect of such amount) pursuant to the notification procedure under Article 4.2 of the Articles of Association.

The exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate (on the basis of 459,589,808 H Shares in issue and fully paid up as at the Latest Practicable Date) would result in up to 45,958,980 H Shares being repurchased by the Company during the Relevant Period.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Funding of Repurchases

In repurchasing its H Shares, the Company intends to apply funds from the Company’s internal resources (which may include surplus funds and retained profits) legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

The Company is empowered by its Articles of Association to purchase its H Shares. All repurchases by the Company may only be made out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares to be repurchased, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend of distribution or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company. Under PRC laws, H Shares so repurchased will be treated as cancelled and the Company’s registered capital will be reduced by an amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the H Shares so cancelled. The Company may not purchase securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

GENERAL

There will not be any material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts contained in the 2003 annual report of the Company for the year ended 31st December, 2003) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. The number of H 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 regarded to the circumstances then prevailing and in the best interests of the Company.

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 repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

If as a result of a share repurchase by the Company, a substantial shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a shareholder, or group of shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company or become obligated to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited, whose interest in the Company is notifiable under Part XV (Disclosure of Interests) of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong), held directly or indirectly approximately 26.43% of the Company’s total registered capital . In the event that

APPENDIX I

the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase H Shares in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Mandate proposed at the EGM, H Shareholders EGM and Domestic Shareholders EGM, the total interests of Greencool Enterprise Development Company Limited in the total registered capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 27.72%. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code and/or any similar applicable law, as a result of any purchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate. Moreover, the Directors will not make share repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% of the total registered capital of the Company would be in the public hands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) presently intends to sell H Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and the conditions to which the Repurchase Mandate is subject are fulfilled.

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 H Shares to the Company, or, that they have undertaken not to sell any H Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by its Shareholders and the conditions to which the Repurchase Mandate is subject are fulfilled.
