7. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

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 of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Odjargal Jambaljamts and Mr. Od Jambaljamts, Directors, and eight other individuals (collectively defined as Ultimate Individual Beneficial Owners in the announcement of the Company dated 3 April 2012 and altogether taken as parties acting in concert) were interested in 1,609,962,692 Shares, representing approximately 43.45% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company and the shareholdings of the parties above mentioned, as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate, the percentage shareholdings of the parties above mentioned would be increased to approximately 48.28% of the issued share capital of the Company, thus giving rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares to such extent which would result in an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any other consequence which would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY

No Shares had been repurchased by the Company, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
