To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of (i) a resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and (ii) notice of EGM.

2. PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The 2011 Scheme was conditionally adopted by the Company on 22 June 2011 and took effect on 15 July 2011. The purpose of the 2011 Scheme is to enable the Company to grant options to eligible participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Group. Apart from the 2011 Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force.

Pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under a share option scheme and any other schemes of a listed issuer must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities of the listed issuer in issue as at the date

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of approval of the scheme. The listed issuer may seek approval by its shareholders in general meeting for “refreshing” the 10% limit under the scheme. However, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under all of the schemes of the listed issuer under the limit as “refreshed” must not exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit. Options previously granted under the schemes (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as “refreshed”. The Listing Rules also provide that the limit on the number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the scheme and any other schemes must not exceed 30% of the relevant class of securities of the listed issuer in issue from time to time.

No refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit has been sought by the Company under the 2011 Scheme.

As at the date of the adoption of the 2011 Scheme, the total number of issued Shares was 1,000,000,000 Shares. The total number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of all share options to be granted under the 2011 Scheme was 100,000,000 (the “ Existing Scheme Mandate Limit ”), representing 10% of the then total number of issued Shares as at the date of approval of the 2011 Scheme. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, options carrying the rights to subscribe for 104,036,500 Shares have been granted under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit, of which 4,225,000 share options were exercised and 4,337,000 share options were forfeited/lapsed and 95,474,500 share options were outstanding (entitling holders thereof to subscribe for up to a total of 95,474,500 Shares, representing approximately 8.24% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). None of these options was cancelled.

Save as disclosed above, there were no other share options outstanding under the 2011 Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, at the Latest Practicable Date, 300,500 options may be granted by the Company under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit, which represents approximately 0.026% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Directors therefore consider that the Company should refresh the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit as this will enable the Company to grant further share options to eligible participants, being any employee, executive or officer of the Group (including executive, non-executive and independent non-executive directors of the Group) and any supplier, consultant, agent, adviser, shareholder, customer, partner or business associate who, at the sole discretion of the Board, will contribute or has contributed to the Group as incentives or rewards for their valuable contribution and efforts made in promoting the interests of the Group.

Proposal

It is therefore proposed that subject to (i) the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM and (ii) such other requirements as prescribed under the Listing Rules being fulfilled, the general limit on the grant of share options under the 2011 Scheme will be refreshed to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the approval by the Shareholders at the EGM, and the share options previously granted under the 2011 Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with such scheme(s) or exercised share options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the scheme limit as refreshed.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,158,436,000 Shares in issue. Assuming that no further Share will be issued prior to the EGM and the said refreshment is approved at the EGM, then the maximum number of Shares that can be allotted and issued upon the exercise of share options which may be granted by the Company pursuant to the 2011 Scheme under the proposed refreshed scheme limit would be 115,843,600, being 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the said refreshment at the EGM. Together with the total of 95,474,500 outstanding share options as at the Latest Practicable Date, representing approximately 8.24% of the total number of issued Shares, the Company will be allowed to allot and issue a maximum of 211,318,100 Shares (representing approximately 18.24% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) upon the exercise of share option which may be/have been granted by the Company under the 2011 Scheme, which will not exceed the overall limit 30% of the issued Shares.

Conditions

As required by the 2011 Scheme and the Listing Rules, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the EGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit.

The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution at the EGM to approve the said refreshment; and

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares to be allotted and issued upon exercise of any share options that may be granted under the refreshed limit the 2011 Scheme up to 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution of the EGM.

Application for listing

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, new Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon exercise of any share options that may be granted under the refreshed limit of the 2011 Scheme.

3. THE EGM

The notice of the EGM is set out on pages 7 and 8 of this circular. A form of proxy for the EGM is enclosed herewith. To be valid, the form of proxy must be completed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposited, together with power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or authority, at the Company’s Branch Share Registrar and Transfer Office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event no less than 48 hours before the time for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).
