EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix includes an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be presented to the Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors.
1. LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.
2. FUNDING AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
Any repurchase will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2014 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase 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 of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. 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 repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
4. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,347,860,727 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions to approve the general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase a maximum of 134,786,072 Shares.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and Articles.
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as that term is defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the shareholding, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar the Directors are aware of, (i) Key Wise Group Limited (“Key Wise”), which owned 559,712,145 Shares (approximately 41.53% of the issued share capital of the Company); (ii) Cheer Sky Limited (“Cheer Sky”), which owned 49% interest in Key Wise and therefore is deemed or taken to be interested in all the Shares held by Key Wise under the SFO; (iii) Mr. Sin Ke, who owned 51% interest in Cheer Sky and his spouse, Ms. Hong Man Na, who owned 51% interest in Key Wise, and therefore is deemed or taken to be interested in all the Shares held by Key Wise under the SFO; and (iv) Ms. Hong Man Na, who owned 51% interest in Key Wise and therefore is deemed or taken to be interested in all the Shares held by Key Wise. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full, the total interests of Key Wise, Cheer Sky, Mr. Sin Ke and Ms. Hong Man Na would be increased to approximately 46.14%, 46.14%, 46.14% and 46.14% respectively. On the basis of the aforesaid increase of shareholding, Key Wise, Cheer Sky, Mr. Sin Ke and Ms. Hong Man Na will be obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full. The Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no
– 7 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a public shareholding of less than the minimum public float requirement of 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company.
7. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is granted, to sell Shares to the Company. No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.
8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months ended on the Latest Practicable Date.
9. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
