To Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSAL FOR

ADOPTION OF 2014 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide Shareholders with information regarding the 2014 Share Option Scheme and to give notice of the Special General Meeting to be held on 27 June 2014 at which Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve the adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE 2014 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The 2004 Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 30 June 2004 for a term of ten years and is due to expire on 29 June 2014. The scheme mandate limit for the 2004 Share Option Scheme has been reached and the Board will not seek to grant any further share options under the 2004 Share Option Scheme. The 2004 Share Option Scheme will be allowed to expire on its due expiry date of 29 June 2014 (although it will continue to remain in force in respect of the Kwok Option).

Due to the expiry of the 2004 Share Option Scheme and to enable the Company to continue to grant share options as an incentive or reward to eligible persons, the Board proposes that the Company adopt the 2014 Share Option Scheme.

The purposes of the 2014 Share Option Scheme are to allow the Company (i) to be competitive and to be able to attract, retain and motivate appropriate personnel to assist the Group attain its strategic objectives by offering share options to enhance general remuneration packages, (ii) align the interests of the directors and employees of the Group with the performance of the Company and the value of the Shares; (iii) to align the commercial interests of business associates, customers and suppliers of the Group with the interests and success of the Group.

The 2014 Share Option Scheme will be administered by the Board which, subject to the rules of the 2014 Share Option Scheme, shall have the right to determine the terms of each Option granted thereunder. A summary of the principal terms of the 2014 Share Option Scheme is set out in the Appendix to this circular. The rules of the 2014 Share Option Scheme are substantially similar to the rules of the 2004 Share Option Scheme.

The 2014 Share Option Scheme shall only take effect after the following conditions precedent are satisfied:

  • (A) the passing of an ordinary resolution approving the adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme by Shareholders at the Special General Meeting; and

  • (B) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options that may be granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme.

Share options in respect of 600,261,705 Shares were granted under the 2004 Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, share options in respect of 146,790,000 Shares granted under the 2004 Share Option Scheme had been exercised and share options in respect of 53,471,705 Shares granted under the 2004 Share Option Scheme had lapsed. No share options granted under the 2004 Share Option Scheme remained outstanding other than the Kwok Option.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Kwok Option was granted to Mr. Kwok on 6 November 2013 with the approval of Shareholders at the special general meeting of the Company held on 6 December 2013. Details of the Kwok Option are set out below:

Exercise Price
Number of Shares Exercise Period per Share
200,000,000 1 year from 6 November 2013 and HK$1.77
ending on 5 November 2018
200,000,000 2 years from 6 November 2013 and HK$1.77
ending on 5 November 2018

Additional details concerning the grant of the Kwok Option are set out in the circular of the Company dated 21 November 2013.

The maximum number of Shares that may be allotted and issued upon the exercise of all Options that may be granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date. Assuming there is no change to the issued share capital of the Company in the period commencing from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the Special General Meeting, the total number of Shares that may be issued in respect of Options that may be granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme is 786,852,714 Shares.

The Directors do not consider it appropriate to state the value of all Options that can be granted pursuant to the 2014 Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors believe that any statement regarding the value of such Options as at the Latest Practicable Date will not be meaningful to Shareholders since a number of variables required in order to calculate their value cannot be determined and may only be determined at the time of their grant (if any). These variables include the exercise price, exercise period, the existence of any performance targets, interest rates and the value of the Shares. The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Options that can be granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted as at the Latest Practicable Date, based on a number of variables and speculative assumptions, would not be meaningful and may be misleading to Shareholders.

A copy of the 2014 Share Option Scheme is available for inspection at the Company’s principal place of business in Hong Kong at Suites 3001-3006, 30/F, One Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong during normal business hours from the date of this circular up to and including the date of the Special General Meeting and will be available for inspection at the Special General Meeting.

APPLICATION FOR LISTING

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options that may be granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme.
