— 2 —

(III) APPLICATION FOR WHITEWASH WAIVER

Assuming the China AU Capital Reorganisation takes effect and no further China AU Shares or China AU New Shares are issued or repurchased by China AU, the Subscriber will be interested in 40,000,000 China AU New Shares, representing approximately 75.30% of the issued share capital of China AU as enlarged by the allotment and issue of all the Conversion Shares, immediately upon the full exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds. Under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Subscriber is required to make a mandatory general offer to the China AU Shareholders for all the issued China AU New Shares (other than those China AU New Shares already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Subscriber and parties acting in concert with it) unless the Whitewash Waiver is obtained. In this regard, the Subscriber will make an application to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver in respect of the Subscription and the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds subject to, among other things, approval by the China AU Independent Shareholders in respect of the Subscription and the Whitewash Waiver at the China AU EGM by way of a poll.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER LISTING RULES

As the grant of loan under the Loan Agreement is conditional upon completion of the Subscription, the grant of loan under the Loan Agreement shall be aggregated with the Subscription under Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules.

As the relevant applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Subscription and the grant of loan under the Loan Agreement when aggregated together are more than 5% but less than 25%, the Subscription and the grant of loan under the Loan Agreement constitute discloseable transactions for the Company and are only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As two of the relevant applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the conversion of the Convertible Bonds are more than 5% but less than 25%, the conversion of the Convertible Bonds constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company and is only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

The Directors consider that the Subscription will enable the Group to participate in the development of China AU Group and provide the Group with an opportunity to be benefited from the business of China AU Group through conversion of part or whole of the Convertible Bonds into the China AU New Shares as and when the Group considers appropriate. As such, the Directors consider that the Subscription and the conversion of the Convertible Bonds enable the Group to diversify its businesses and are in interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In view of the above and given that the terms of the Subscription Agreement were reached after arm's length negotiations between the Subscriber and China AU, the Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement and the Conversion Price are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT
