2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

It is also proposed at the AGM an ordinary resolution granting to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution no. 4B. In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to extend such general mandate by an aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Resolution.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the general mandate to issue new Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under such general mandate to issue a maximum of 237,665,828 Shares representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of six Directors, namely Mr. You Guang Wu, Mr. Su Wenzhao, Mr. Wu Yongqing, Mr. Chan Kwok Wai, Mr. Chen Da Cheng and Mr. Deng Hong Ping.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to shareholders of the Company for their consideration of the Repurchase Resolution.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,188,329,142 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Resolution to repurchase a maximum of 118,832,914 Shares representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

REASON FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Such purchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, may lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. The Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda 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 out of the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the 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 of the Company. Further, a company cannot purchase its own shares if on the date on which the purchase is to be effected, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the purchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

There might be an 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 for the year ended 31 December 2010 in the event that the Repurchase Proposal were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the repurchase of Shares to such 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 appropriate for the Company.

UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Proposal if such is approved by the shareholders of the Company.

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the shareholders of the Company.

TAKEOVER CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeover Code. As a result, a shareholder or 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeover Code.
