Dear Sir/Madam,

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make a decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting which will be convened for the purpose of considering and if thought fit, approving, inter alia:

  • (a) the grant of the Share Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to issue new Shares and repurchase Shares;
  • For identification purposes only

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) extension of the Share Issue Mandate; and

  • (c) re-election of Directors.

A notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 12 to 15 of this circular.

SHARE ISSUE MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 August 2011, the Directors were granted a general mandate to allot and issue Shares and a general mandate to repurchase Shares. These mandates will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting by way of passing ordinary resolutions for the granting of:

  • (a) the Share Issue Mandate to issue Shares up to a maximum of 26,277,828 Shares representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution; and

  • (b) the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 26,277,828 Shares representing 10% of the Shares and in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

According to Rule 13.36(2)(b) of the Listing Rules, the Directors may seek the approval of the Shareholders in general meeting a general mandate to issue Shares not exceeding the aggregate of 20% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution. The Directors, however, consider that the Company shall require only up to a maximum of 10% of the Shares in issue and therefore the Directors only propose to seek approval of the Shareholders to grant the Share Issue Mandate to such extent in the Annual General Meeting.

Whilst the Directors do not presently intend to allot and issue any Shares nor repurchase any Shares, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Share Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, if the ordinary resolution granting it is passed, would be beneficial to the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date for determining such figures, the number of the issued share of the Company was 262,778,286 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to 26,277,828 Shares representing 10% of the issued share capital during the period up to the next annual general meeting in 2013 or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law to be held or the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first. However, the Directors believe

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

that such repurchase would not reduce the amount held by the public to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Extension of the Share Issue Mandate

A resolution as set out in resolution no. 5C of the notice of the Annual General Meeting will also be proposed at the Annual General Meeting authorising the Directors to extend the Share Issue Mandate by the addition thereto of an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased by the Company under the authority granted pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate provided that such extended amount shall not exceed 10% of the total nominal amount of Shares in issue at the date of passing of the resolution no. 5C of the notice of the Annual General Meeting.

Reasons for Repurchase

Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the value of the net assets of the Company and/or earnings and/or dividend per Share.

Funding of Repurchase

Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilised in this connection in accordance with its Bye-laws and the laws of Hong Kong and the applicable laws of Bermuda, including profits otherwise available for distribution.

Under Bermuda law, repurchases may only be effected out of the capital paid up on the repurchased Shares or out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company’s share premium account.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited financial statements as at 31 March 2012) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, 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.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Disclosure of Interests

None of the Directors, and to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their associates, has any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders and exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that he has undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is exercised.

Share Repurchase made by the Company

There have been no repurchases of Shares by the Company during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

Directors’ Undertaking

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

Takeovers Code Consequences

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 the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, 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.

For the purpose of determining the relevant figures, as at the Latest Practicable Date, United Vision International Limited (“ United Vision ”), the single largest Shareholder, together with Mr. Ku Ngai Yung, Otis and Mr. Ku Ka Yung, who are parties acting in concert with United Vision, are holding 144,833,828 Shares representing approximately 55.12% of the entire issued Shares. Assuming the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and there is no issue of new Shares by the Company, the shareholding of United Vision, together with Mr. Ku Ngai Yung, Otis and Mr. Ku Ka Yung, will be increased to an aggregate of approximately 61.24% of the entire issued Shares and therefore no obligation would arise in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Apart from United Vision, Mr. Ku Ngai Yung, Otis and Mr. Ku Ka Yung, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
