LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ISSUE MANDATES AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At an annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 May 2007, resolutions were passed by the Shareholders giving general unconditional mandates to the Directors to issue and allot Shares and to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase its own Shares in accordance with the Listing Rules. These general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

It is therefore necessary to renew the Issue Mandates and the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM and ordinary resolutions will be proposed to seek the Shareholders’ approval for granting of the Issue Mandates and the Repurchase Mandate at such meeting. Details of the aforesaid ordinary resolutions are set out in ordinary resolutions numbered 5 to 7 in the notice of the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,823,401,376. Subject to the passing of the resolution in relation to the Issue Mandates and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Issue Mandates to allot a maximum of 364,680,275 Shares, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Issue Mandates and the Repurchase Mandate, if approved at the AGM, will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held or until revoked or varied by ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

An explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on the proposed resolution for the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will also be proposed to re-elect Ms. Cheung Choi Ngor, Mrs. Tse Wong Siu Ying, Elizabeth and Mr. Cheng Hong Kei as Directors in accordance with the Articles of Association. To enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on the re-election of these retiring Directors, the biographical details of the retiring Directors, as required under Chapter 13 of the Listing Rules, are set out in the Appendix II to this circular for the information of Shareholders.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

RIGHT TO DEMAND A POLL

Pursuant to the Articles of Association, at any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is duly demanded.

• (d) if required by the Listing Rules, any Director or Directors who, individually or collectively, hold proxies in respect of shares representing five per cent. (5%) or more of the total voting rights at such meeting.

RECOMMENDATION

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This serves as an explanatory statement, as required to be sent to all Shareholders under the Listing Rules, to provide the relevant information in connection with the Repurchase Mandate.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,823,401,376.

Subject to the passing of the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 182,340,137 Shares (representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company) during the period from the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution numbered 6 in the notice of the AGM set out on pages 12 to 15 of this circular up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company is empowered by its Articles of Association to repurchase its Shares. Under Cayman Islands law, the capital portion payable on repurchase by the Company may be paid out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Law, out of the capital and, in the case of any premium payable on a repurchase, such premium may be paid out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

4. GENERAL

There would not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2007) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

• 6 -

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

5. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert (as interpreted according to the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of the increase of the shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Ng Hung Sang, together with his associates, was taken to be interested in 1,344,181,812 Shares of the Company, representing approximately 73.72% of the issued share capital of the Company, and was a substantial Shareholder of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company, the shareholding in the Company held by Mr. Ng would be increased to approximately 81.91% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but will reduce the amount of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares to such an extent which will result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
