EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE OF SHARES

APPENDIX I

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the new Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was 569,668,370 fully paidup Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the new Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date and to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to 56,966,837 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, during the period from the date of resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Articles to be held; and (iii) its revocation or variation by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may apply funds legally available for such purpose from distributable profit or funds from a new issue in accordance with its Articles and the Companies Ordinance.

The Companies Ordinance provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid from the distributable profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose of the repurchase to such extent allowable under the Companies Ordinance.

On the basis of the combined net tangible assets of the Group as at 31 December 2014, and taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that there would be no material adverse effect on the working capital and gearing position of the Group in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed purchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE OF SHARES

APPENDIX I

EFFECT UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND ON MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If, as the result of a Share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. In certain circumstances, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest) could as a result of increase of its or their interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Assuming that no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, on exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, the number of issued Shares will decrease from 569,668,370 to 512,701,533.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, for the purpose of Part XV of the SFO, each of Ms. Liu Jinlan and Equity Trustee Limited as the trustee of UME Trust, DFS (No. 2) Trust and CLH Trust, is taken to be have an interest in the same block of 257,428,169 Shares; and each of Mr. Chen Xin and Equity Trustee Limited as the trustee of MHS Trust, DFS (No. 1) Trust and CLH Trust, is taken to be have an interest in the same block of 257,428,165 Shares. While Ms. Liu Jinlan is the founder of UME Trust, DFS (No. 2) Trust and CLH Trust and Mr. Chen Xin is the founder of MHS Trust, DFS (No. 1) Trust and CLH Trust, Liu Jinlan and Chen Xin are the only beneficiaries of the CLH Trust which holds through CLH Holding Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries 209,941,513 Shares.

Accordingly, for the purpose of the Takeovers Code, Ms. Liu Jinlan and Mr. Chen Xin are concert parties and are taken to have interests in a total of 304,914,821 Shares, representing approximately 53.52% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate, the aggregate interests of both Ms. Liu Jinlan and Mr. Chen Xin would be increased from approximately 53.52% to approximately 59.47% of the then total number of issued Shares of the Company. In the opinion of Directors, such increase will not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Company currently has no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the effect that it will result in the public float to fall below 25% or such other minimum percentage prescribed by the Listing Rules from time to time.

No Core Connected Person has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders.
