GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS, RENEWAL OF THE SCHEME LIMIT UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 27 May 2010 in relation to, among other matters, the grant of Options to Ms. Yeung.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GRANT OF OPTIONS

(i) Details of the proposed grant of Options

Subject to (i) the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM, and (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the Options, the Directors propose to grant the Options to Ms. Yeung.

At the Adoption Date, the Scheme Limit was approved at 80,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date. Since the Adoption Date, the Company has already granted the Options to subscribe for a total of 72,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 9% of the Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date, and which is under the Scheme Limit approved at the Adoption Date.

The Board has proposed to grant the Options to Ms. Yeung to subscribe for up to a total of 175,000,000 Shares which, together with the Shares issued or to be issued upon exercise in full of the Options granted since the Adoption Date, will exceed the Scheme Limit. In accordance with sub-paragraph 8.1 of the Share Option Scheme and Rule 17.03(3) of the Listing Rules, the Company may seek separate Shareholders’ approval in general meeting to grant Options under the Share Option Scheme beyond the Scheme Limit, provided that the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme shall not exceed the Overall Limit.

Particularly, the proposed grant of Options to Ms. Yeung to subscribe for 175,000,000 Shares in the share capital of the Company, are in excess of the existing Scheme Limit, thus the proposed grant of such Options is subject to Shareholders’ approval under Rule 17.03(3) of the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 1,814,697,600 Shares were in issue and the total number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of all Existing Options was 42,500,000. On this basis, the total number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Existing Options and the Options proposed to be granted to Ms. Yeung is 217,500,000, representing approximately 11.99% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and thus complying with the Overall Limit.

As Ms. Yeung is an executive Director on the Date of Grant, the proposed grant of Options to her is required to be approved by the independent non-executive Directors under Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules. It is noted that the proposal for grant of Options to Ms. Yeung was approved by the independent non-executive Directors at the Board Meeting.

Besides, under Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules, the total number of securities issued and to be issued upon exercise of the Options granted to each participant (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in any 12-month period must not exceed the Individual Limit unless separately approved by the Shareholders.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Within the period (“Period”) of 12 months ended on the Date of Grant, the proposed grant of Options to Ms. Yeung to subscribe for 175,000,000 Shares, together with the existing share options held by Ms. Yeung to subscribe for 15,000,000 Shares, exceeds her Individual Limit. The grant of the Options to Ms. Yeung will be subject to the approval of the Shareholders. Ms. Yeung and her associates shall abstain from voting under Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules.

(ii) Generic descriptions of Ms. Yeung

Ms. Yeung is an executive Director and was appointed as the chief executive officer of the Group with effect from 1 June 2010.

(iii) Terms of the Options

The following are the principal terms of the Options:

Exercise period of the Options

Subject to (i) the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM, and (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the Options, the Directors propose to grant the Options to Ms. Yeung.

Save as stated above, the exercise of the Options by Ms. Yeung is not subject to any other conditions. The exercise period of the Options is from 27 May 2010 to 26 May 2015.

Subscription price

The subscription price of the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options is HK$0.64 per Share, representing the highest of (i) the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Date of Grant, (ii) the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days immediately preceding the Date of Grant, and (iii) the nominal value of HK$0.01 per Share.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The closing prices of the Shares from 19 May 2010 up to the trading day immediately preceding the Date of Grant were as follows:

Date Closing price Closing price
_(HK$ _ per Share)
19 May 2010 0.68
20 May 2010 0.65
24 May 2010 0.66
25 May 2010 0.61
26 May 2010 0.60

The average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days immediately preceding the Date of Grant was HK$0.64 and the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Date of Grant was HK$0.64. The subscription price of the Options is therefore proposed to be HK$0.64 per Share.

Consideration

A consideration of HK$1 is payable upon acceptance of the Options. Shares to be allotted upon the exercise of the Options will be subject to all the provisions of the Articles of Association for the time being in force and will rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid Shares in issue as at the date on which the Options are duly exercised.

(iv) Purpose of granting the Options

The purpose of this Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant Options to eligible Participants as incentives and recognition of their contribution to the Company or its subsidiaries. Ms. Yeung is an executive Director and was appointed as the chief executive officer of the Group with effect from 1 June 2010. It is recognised that Ms. Yeung has made significant contribution to the Group in the past several years. It is expected that the Options proposed to be granted to Ms. Yeung will serve as incentive for her continuous contributions to the Group.

(v) Listing approval

The proposed grant of Options is also subject to the granting of the listing, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of any Options by the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange. Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing, and permission to deal in, such Shares.

RENEWAL OF THE SCHEME LIMIT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Scheme Limit was near depletion. The Directors proposed to refresh the Scheme Limit, subject to the Shareholders’ approval, so that the Company would be allowed to grant further Options to other eligible Participants under the Share Option Scheme to motivate such other eligible Participants to contribute to the success of the Group.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the rules of the Share Option Scheme:

  • (1) the total number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company is limited to 10% of the Shares of the Company in issue as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme; and

  • (2) the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

The Company may seek approval from the Shareholders in general meeting for refreshing the Scheme Limit so that the total number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall be re-set at 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the approval of the limit as “refreshed”.

Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including options outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Limit as “refreshed”.

The existing Scheme Limit is 80,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date. Since the Adoption Date, the Options carrying the rights to subscribe for up to a total of 72,000,000 Shares have been granted under the Share Option Scheme, representing approximately 9% of the Shares then in issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) 12,000,000 Options which had been granted since the Adoption Date under the existing Scheme Limit had been exercised; (ii) 17,500,000 Options which had been granted since the Adoption Date under the existing Scheme Limit had been cancelled; and (iii) 42,500,000 Options which had been granted since the Adoption Date under the existing Scheme Limit had not yet been exercised. Unless the Scheme Limit is “refreshed”, only up to 8,000,000 Shares may be issued pursuant to the grant of further Options under the Share Option Scheme.

If the Scheme Limit is “refreshed”, on the basis of 1,814,697,600 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the EGM, the Scheme Limit will be re-set at 181,469,760 Shares and the Company will be allowed to grant further Options under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes carrying the rights to subscribe for a maximum of 181,469,760 Shares.

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme was to attract and retain quality personnel and other persons and provide them with incentive to contribute to the business and operations of the Group. Given that the existing Scheme Limit is near depletion, the Share Option Scheme cannot continue to serve its intended purpose for the benefits of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole unless the Scheme Limit is “refreshed” in accordance with the rules of the Share Option Scheme.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that it will be for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole that eligible Participants of the Share Option Scheme are granted rights to obtain equity holdings of the Company through the grant of Options under the Share Option Scheme. This will motivate the eligible Participants to contribute further to the success of the Group. For these reasons, the Directors will propose the passing of an ordinary resolution at the EGM for “refreshing” the Scheme Limit.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Shares representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the EGM to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the options that may be granted within the Scheme Limit as refreshed.

EGM

A notice convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held at 5th Floor, Unison Industrial Centre, Nos. 27-31 Au Pui Wan Street, Fo Tan, Shatin, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 13 July 2010 at 10:00 a.m. is set out on pages 12 and 13 of this circular. Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the EGM to consider and, if thought fit, approve the grant of the Options to Ms. Yeung and the renewal of the Scheme Limit.

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

VOTING AT EGM

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at the EGM must be taken by poll.

The resolutions are subject to Shareholders’ approval under the Listing Rules, any Shareholder that has a material interest in the resolutions shall abstain from voting at the EGM. The grant of the Options to Ms. Yeung will be subject to the approval of the Shareholders. Ms. Yeung and her associates shall abstain from voting in the EGM under Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules.
