EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the resolutions authorising the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

THE LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase its securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

  • (a) the shares proposed to be purchased by the company are fully-paid up;

  • (b) the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the provisions of Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules; and

  • (c) the shareholders have given a specific approval or a general mandate to the directors of the company to make the purchase, by way of an ordinary resolution which complies with Rule 10.06(1)(c) of the Listing Rules and which has been passed at a general meeting of the company duly convened and held.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 9,305,276,756 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution 5 approving the Repurchase Manadate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased following the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Manadate could accordingly result in up to 930,527,675 Shares being repurchased by the Company.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the Company’s net assets value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing its Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws and all the applicable laws of Bermuda. Under Bermuda law, purchases may only be effected out of the capital paid up on the purchased shares or out of funds of the company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the company’s share premium account.

— 10 —

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Based on the position disclosed in the Company’s most recent published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2012 and taking into account the current financial position of the Company, the Directors consider that no material adverse effect on the financial and gearing position of the Company may result in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised in full in the period before the Repurchase Mandate expires. The Directors however do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an 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.

EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a Share repurchase, a 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. In certain circumstances, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, as a result of increase of its or their interests in the voting rights of the Company, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following persons held the following percentage of the Shares of the Company:

Number of shares Percentage of
Name of HK$0.01 each holding
Palin Holdings Limited (Note 1) 3,194,434,684 34.33%
Chongqing Industrial Limited (Note 2) 3,194,434,684 34.33%
Timmex Investment Limited (Note 3) 851,955,056 9.16%
Cheung Chung Kiu (Note 4) 4,099,709,740 44.06%

Notes:

  • (1) Palin Holdings Limited is the trustee for Palin Discretionary Trust, a family discretionary trust, the objects include Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu and his family. The voting rights of these Shares are exercisable by Chongqing Industrial Limited.

  • (2) The voting rights of these Shares are exercisable by Chongqing Industrial Limited which is controlled by Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu.

  • (3) Timmex Investment Limited is 100% beneficially owned by Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu.

  • (4) Out of 4,099,709,740 Shares, 3,194,434,684 Shares are held by Chongqing Industrial Limited, 851,955,056 Shares are held by Timmex Investment Limited and 53,320,000 Shares are held by Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu personally.

— 11 —

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

If, which is not presently contemplated, the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Palin Holdings Limited, Chongqing Industrial Limited, Timmex Investment Limited and Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu in aggregate would be increased from 44.06% to 48.95% and such increase will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, result in possible mandatory offer being made under the Takeovers Code.

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 conferred to them under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and all the applicable laws of Bermuda.

To the best of Directors’ knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of Directors or any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any of its Shares, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, during the six months preceding the date of this circular.

SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during the previous twelve months prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
