LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ISSUE MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be given the Issue Mandate, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares up to 20% of the aggregate nominal share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

REPURCHASE MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed to give the Directors the Repurchase Mandate, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase, on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Singapore Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed, Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the nominal share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

In addition, an ordinary resolution regarding the Extension Mandate will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting providing that any Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate (up to maximum of 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of the grant of the Repurchase Mandate) will be added to the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Issue Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate would expire the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) at the end of the period within which the Company is required by Bermuda law or its bye-laws to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when revoked or varied by ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give to all Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting. An explanatory statement for such purpose is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

At the Annual General Meeting, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve, among other matters, the following: the grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

BOOK CLOSURE

Each of the registers of members of the Company maintained at the Bermuda Principal Registrars and the Hong Kong Branch Registrars will be closed from Wednesday, 18 February 2004 to Monday, 23 February 2004 (both dates inclusive) for the purposes of determining entitlements to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

In order to qualify for exercising the voting rights of Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, all transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the relevant Registrars by no later than 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 17 February 2004.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate are beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors believe that an exercise of the Issue Mandate will enable the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for the Company.

The Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 30 September 2003, being the date of its latest audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

Accordingly, the Directors recommend Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions approving the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate at the Annual General Meeting.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board Sunway International Holdings Limited Wong King Ching, Helen

Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information as to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (such as the Singapore Stock Exchange) subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such a company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such a company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of Repurchase Mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 1,016,001,301 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 101,600,130 Shares.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or on stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Share repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchase made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association and byelaws and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 September 2003, being the date of its last audited accounts), in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would in the circumstances have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that they will only exercise the power of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the interests of the Directors in the share capital of the Company or any associated corporation (within the meaning of Securities and Futures Ordinance (the “ SFO Ordinance ”) which were notified to the Company and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under Part XV of the SFO Ordinance or which were required to be entered in the register under Section 352 of the SFO Ordinance or required pursuant to the Model Code for Securities Transaction by Directors of Listed Companies under the Listing Rules are as follows:

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Notes:

  1. As at the Latest Practicable Date, these shares were beneficially owned by Farnell Profits Limited, the entire issued share capital of which was previously held by the late Mr Wong Choi Fung (“ Mr Wong ”) and currently forms part of the estate of the late Mr Wong. Ms Wong King Ching, Helen and Ms Wong King Man, directors of the Company, are beneficiaries of the said estate, whose interest in the shares of Farnell Profits Limited is not yet ascertained until completion of the administration of estate of the late Mr Wong.

  2. These shares were held by Atworth Profits Limited, a company beneficially owned by Ms Wong Choi Kam.

  3. These shares were held by Notchino Investment Inc., a company beneficially owned by Mr Wong Choi Ping.

(b) Associated Corporations

In addition to the above, Sungo International (BVI) Limited beneficially owns 6,500,000 non-voting deferred shares of HK$1 each in Sungo Holding Company Limited, 6,500 non-voting deferred shares of HK$1 each in Guidy International Limited and 10,000 non-voting deferred shares of HK$1 each in Hong Kong Sunway Electronics Co. Limited respectively. Farnell Profits Limited, Ms Wong Choi Kam, Notchino Investment Inc. and Mr Wong Kim Seong are the beneficial owners of approximately 58.7%, 13.3%, 13.3% and 6.7% of the issued share capital of Sungo International (BVI) Limited, respectively. Such non-voting deferred shares practically carry no rights to dividends or to receive notice of or attend or vote at any general meeting of the respective companies or to participate in the surplus assets of such companies.

Save as disclosed herein, as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors had any interest in the share capital of the Company or any associated corporations (within the meaning of the SFO ordinance) which were required to be notified to the Company and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange pursuant to Part XV of the SFO Ordinance or pursuant to the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Companies contained in the Listing Rules or which are required, pursuant to section 352 of the SFO Ordinance, to be entered in the register referred to therein.

The Company has not been notified by any connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) that such a person has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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 for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “ Code ”). Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, 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 Code.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by, the Directors, the following persons (not being a Director or the chief executive of the Company) were, directly or indirectly, interested in 10% or more of the nominal value of any class of share capital carrying rights to vote in all circumstances at general meetings of any member of the Group.

Name of shareholders Number of ordinary Shares
Farnell Profits Limited 400,000,000

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full, the respective percentage shareholdings of the substantial Shareholder and its associates before and after such repurchase would be as follows:

Before repurchase After repurchase
Farnell Profits Limited 39.4% 43.7%

Such an increase in percentage of shareholdings may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Code, but will not reduce the proportion of Shares held by the public to less than 25%. The Directors do not propose or intend to repurchase shares which could result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of shares in public hands of 25%.

Save as disclose above, the Directors currently are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Code as a result of any purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.

During the six months immediately preceding the date of this circular, there was no repurchase of Shares by the Company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Singapore Stock Exchange or otherwise.
