APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This explanatory statement contains the requisite information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules. Its purpose is to provide Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was 1,600,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 160,000,000 Shares being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting during the period ending on the earliest of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held under the applicable laws or the Articles of Association; and (c) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors believe that the ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such repurchases when they believe that such repurchases would benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In making repurchases, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Memorandum, Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange in effect from time to time.
As compared with the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2013 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital position but not on the gearing position of the Company in the event that purchases of all the Shares, the subject of the Repurchase Mandate, were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as could, in the circumstance, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.
4. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders, to sell their Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
No connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell his/her/its Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries or has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Cayman Islands, Memorandum and Articles.
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wong Yeuk Hung and Mr. Huang Rouqing, as the controlling Shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules), were interested in 720,000,000 Shares, representing 45% of the issued share capital of the Company, directly held by Global Universe International Holdings Limited, and 480,000,000 Shares, representing 30% of the issued share capital of the Company, directly held by Times International Development Company Limited, respectively. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, then (assuming the present shareholdings remain the same) the attributable shareholding of Mr. Wong Yeuk Hung and Mr. Huang Rouqing would be increased to approximately 50.00% and 33.33% of the issued share capital of the Company, respectively. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. At present, the Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares to such extent it would trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for Mr. Wong Yeuk Hung and Mr. Huang Ruoqing, to make a mandatory offer or result in the number of Shares held in the hands of the public falling below the prescribed limit as approved by the Stock Exchange.
