The purpose of the general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares is to enable the Directors to capture right timing of the securities market to widen the capital base of the Company. The Directors have no present intention to issue or repurchase any Shares under the general mandates to be sought at the AGM.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.
REPURCHASE MANDATE
The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules relating to an ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM to approve a general and unconditional mandate to be given to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to purchase, at any time until the next annual general meeting of the Company or such earlier period as stated in the ordinary resolution, shares of HK$0.20 each in the capital of the Company, up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution.
The Directors believe the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders, and accordingly recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the AGM.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 718,962,519 Shares. Subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution for the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or purchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 71,896,251 Shares.
REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and its assets and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will be funded entirely from funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles and the applicable laws of Hong Kong. It is presently proposed that any Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate would be repurchased out of the capital paid up on the repurchased Shares, profits of the Company which would otherwise be available for distribution or the Company’s share premium account.
IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or gearing levels of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
December 2010) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company 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 to exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.
None of the Directors, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their respective associates, having any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.
No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of his Shares, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.
TAKEOVERS CODE AND SHARE REPURCHASES
In the event that the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a 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 Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any Substantial Shareholder. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as to result in takeover obligations or that the aggregate amount of Shares in public hands would reduce below 25%.
