LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND EFFECTS OF THE SHARE SUB-DIVISION

Upon the proposed Share Sub-division becoming effective, Based on the closing price of HK$5.7 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the last trading day immediately before the Latest Practicable Date, the market value per board lot of 2,000 existing Shares is HK$11,400. The estimated market value per board lot of 2,000 Sub-divided Shares will be theoretically reduced to HK$5,700 immediately upon the Share Sub-division becoming effective. The Board expects that the reduction in trading price per board lot of Sub-divided Share will improve the liquidity and facilitate trading of the Sub-divided Shares, which will also enable the Company to attract more investors and broaden its Shareholders base. As such, the Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that the Share Sub-division is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Other than the expenses incurred relating to the Share Sub-division, implementation of the Share Subdivision will not, in itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company. The Directors believe that the Share Sub-division will not have a material adverse effect on the financial and trading position of the Company and its subsidiaries.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

A notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting is set out on pages 8 to 9 of this circular.

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting on the resolution in relation to the Share Sub-division.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules, all votes to be taken at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be by poll.

A form of proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting is despatched to the Shareholders with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investors Services Limited of 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as practicable but in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting. Completion of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof in person should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed Share Sub-division is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and, accordingly, the Directors recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the Share Sub-division.
