Notes:
- The general mandate granted to the Directors of the Company at its last annual general meeting held on 1 June 2011 (the “ 2011 Annual General Meeting ”) to repurchase, on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the Company’s shares up to a maximum of 10 per cent of the Company’s then issued and fully paid voting share capital (the “ 2011 Repurchase Mandate ”) is about to be fully exercised. Accordingly, the Directors propose Ordinary Resolutions numbered 1 and 2 to revoke the 2011 Repurchase Mandate to the extent that it has not been exercised and to approve the grant of a new repurchase mandate (the “ New Repurchase Mandate ”) respectively.
The New Repurchase Mandate, if approved at the extraordinary general meeting being convened by this notice, will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless it is revoked or varied by a shareholders’ resolution before then. Shareholders are recommended to read the shareholders’ circular dated 7 February 2012 issued by the Company, which contains important information concerning Ordinary Resolutions numbered 1 and 2 in respect of the revocation of the 2011 Repurchase Mandate and the grant of the New Repurchase Mandate.
