LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

Under the Companies Law (1998 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”), listed companies are allowed to repurchase their own issued securities. The Articles of Association of the Company (the “Articles”) also enable such securities repurchases to be made. The Directors consider that the power to repurchase Shares increases flexibility in the conduct of the Company’s affairs and is in the interests of its Shareholders.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be given a general mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase Shares subject to the Articles, the applicable laws and relevant regulatory requirements. Shareholders should note that the maximum number of Shares that may be repurchased pursuant to the mandate as set out in Resolution No. 6 of the notice of AGM on pages 25 to 27 of the Company’s Annual Report will be such number of Shares not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the date of the resolution (the “Share Repurchase Mandate”). A resolution authorizing the extension of the mandate as set out in Resolution No. 5 of the notice of AGM to the Directors to issue additional Shares by the number of Share repurchased (if any) under the repurchase mandate (as set out in Resolution No. 6) will be proposed as Resolution No. 7 at the AGM.

Appendix I to this circular contains the Explanatory Statement required under the Listing Rules that gives all the information reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision in connection with their approval of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

An ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM for the grant of a general mandate (the “Share Issuance Mandate”) to the Directors to issue, allot or otherwise deal with additional Shares of the Company up to a maximum of 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued capital of the Company as at the date of the resolution. As at 31 March 2007, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this circular (the “Latest Practicable Date”), the number of Shares in issue was 1,080,975,450 shares. Accordingly, the exercise of the Share Issuance Mandate in full would enable the Company to issue, allot or otherwise deal with additional 216,195,090 Shares.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprises Mr. Sze Man Bok, Mr. Hui Lin Chit, Mr. Yeung Wing Chun, Mr. Hung Ching Shan, Mr. Loo Hong Shing Vincent, Mr. Xu Da Zuo and Mr. Xu Chun Man as executive directors, Mr. Zhang Shi Pao as non-executive director, and Mr. Chan Henry, Mr. Chu Cheng Chung and Ms. Ada Ying Kay Wong as independent non-executive directors.

Pursuant to the Article 116, Mr. Sze Man Bok, Mr. Yeung Wing Chun, Mr. Hung Ching Shan and Mr. Xu Chun Man shall retire from office at the AGM and shall be eligible for re-election. Details of the directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company.

By order of the Board Sze Man Bok Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

(a) PROPOSED SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

It is proposed that the Directors may exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase up to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the granting to the Directors the Shares Repurchase Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,080,975,450 shares. Accordingly, the exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate in full (being the repurchase of 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Share Repurchase Mandate) would enable the Company to repurchase 108,097,545 shares.

(b) REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its shareholders. 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 its earnings per share.

(c) FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

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 accounts) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an 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.

(d) UNDERTAKING

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Share Repurchase Mandate is granted.

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 Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the repurchase mandate is granted.

(e) HONG KONG CODES ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS AND SHARE REPURCHASES

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share 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 purposes of Rule 32 of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“Takeovers Code”). As a result, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the

Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the substantial shareholders of the Company, Mr. Sze Man Bok and Mr. Hui Lin Chit (inclusive of family interest), held an aggregate of 442,709,256 Shares comprising 40.95% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors fully exercise the power to repurchase Shares, pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, the aggregate shareholding of the said substantial shareholders will represent 45.51% of the total issue share capital of the Company after the repurchases. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase made under the Share Repurchase Mandate.

(f) SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date, were as follows:

Share Price
Highest Lowest
