LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Messrs. Chau Lai Him, Liu Dong Yang and Lo Wai Ming will retire from office as Directors at the AGM and each of the aforementioned Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM pursuant to bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws.

Brief biographies of Messrs. Chau Lai Him, Liu Dong Yang and Lo Wai Ming, which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the Listing Rules, are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

Pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed at the 2012 annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 December 2012, the Company conditionally adopted the Share Option Scheme. The details of the Share Option Scheme were set out in a circular to the Shareholders of the Company dated 24 October 2012. Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force.

The maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of all the options to subscribe for Shares to be granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit is 15,624,565 Shares, which represented 10% of the Shares in issued as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no share options were granted, exercised, lapsed, cancelled or outstanding under the Share Option Scheme. The maximum number of Shares in respect of which options may be granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit is 15,624,565 Shares, representing approximately 0.83% of the 1,889,853,900 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Scheme Mandate Limit may be “refreshed” by the approval of the Shareholders in general meeting and the “refreshed” Scheme Mandate Limit must not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of approval of the “refreshed” Scheme Mandate Limit. Share options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme (including options outstanding, cancelled, exercised or lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Group) shall not be counted for the purposes of calculating the “refreshed” Scheme Mandate Limit. The Directors therefore propose that the Scheme Mandate Limit be refreshed and the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will be subject to (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued upon exercise of any options that may be granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

Assuming that the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is approved at the AGM, and that no Shares will be issued and/or repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date until

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the date of the AGM, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the options to be granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit (as refreshed) will be 188,985,390 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the 1,889,853,900 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme together with any options outstanding and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time. No option may be granted to any one person under the Share Option Scheme such that the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of options granted and to be granted to that person in any 12-months period up to the date of the latest grant exceeds 1% of the Company’s issued share capital from time to time.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Shares to be issued upon exercise of any options that may be granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules, to provide certain information to the Shareholders for consideration of the proposal to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,889,853,900 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares would be issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 188,985,390 Shares during the course of the period from the AGM to 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 the Bye-laws or any applicable laws to be held; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate shall be funded out of cash flow or working capital facilities of the Group which will be funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. Under the laws of Bermuda, the repurchased Shares will be cancelled and the Company’s issued share capital will be reduced by the nominal value of those repurchased Shares accordingly. However, the aggregate amount of the Company’s authorised capital will not be reduced.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2014) 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 impact on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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

The Company has not been notified by any core connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) that such a person has a present intention to sell, or has undertaken not to sell, any Shares to the Company, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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 Rule 32 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “ Code ”). Accordingly, 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 Rule 26 of the Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no substantial Shareholders. Such an increase will not trigger any mandatory general offer obligations under the Code. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are currently not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Code as a result of any repurchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.

In the last six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased Shares, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.
