– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(a) the Share Consolidation on the basis that every two (2) Existing Shares of HK$0.25 each in the authorised or issued share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) authorised or issued Consolidated Share of HK$0.50 each in the authorised or issued share capital of the Company;
-
(b) the Capital Reduction involving the reduction of the issued share capital of the Company through a cancellation of the paid-up capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.40 on each of the issued Consolidated Shares so that the nominal value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.10;

The credit of HK$523,213,431.75 arising from the Capital Reduction will be credited to the contributed surplus account of the Company.
Under Bermuda law, the amount standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account is a distributable reserve and the Company may apply the contributed surplus in any manner not prohibited by the Companies Act and the bye-laws of the Company.
The Board also proposes to put forward to the Shareholders a resolution to approve the Authorisation, i.e. to authorise the Directors to apply the entire amount standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account of the Company in such manner as they consider appropriate, including but not limited to setting off the accumulated losses (if any) of the Company from time to time.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the above proposals and to give you notice of the SGM.
SHARE CONSOLIDATION, CAPITAL REDUCTION AND SUB-DIVISION
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an authorised share capital of HK$2,000,000,000 divided into 8,000,000,000 Existing Shares, of which 2,616,067,159 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division become effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:
Immediately before Immediately after Share Share Consolidation, Consolidation, Capital Reduction Capital Reduction and Sub-Division and Sub-Division Authorised Share Capital HK$2,000,000,000 HK$2,000,000,000 Par Value HK$0.25 HK$0.10 Number of Authorised Shares 8,000,000,000 20,000,000,000 Existing Shares New Shares Amount of Issued Share Capital HK$654,016,789.75 HK$130,803,358.00 Number of Issued Shares 2,616,067,159 1,308,033,580 Existing Shares New Shares Amount of Unissued Share HK$1,345,983,210.25 HK$1,869,196,642.00 Capital Number of Unissued Shares 5,383,932,841 18,691,966,420 Existing Shares New Shares

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reasons for and Impact on the Company of the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division
The proposed Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division provide the Company with flexibility in future fund raisings, which may or may not occur, to accommodate future expansion and growth of the Company. The Share Consolidation will reduce the operating costs of the Company as well as the relative transaction costs for dealing in the shares of the Company. The crediting of the amount of HK$523,213,431.75 arising from the Capital Reduction to the contributed surplus account of the Company will facilitate the payment of dividends as and when the Directors consider it appropriate in future.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division will not have a material financial effect on the financial position of the Group. The Board believes that on the date the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division is to be effected, there will be no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders.
Application for Listing of New Shares
Application will be made to the Exchange for granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division and all necessary arrangements will be made for the New Shares to be admitted into the Central Clearing and Settlement System established and operated by Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited. None of the Existing Shares or New Shares are or are proposed to be listed or dealt in any stock exchange other than the Exchange. The New Shares will be identical with each other and also with the Existing Shares except for par value.
Exchange of Share Certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division becoming effective, which is expected to be on Tuesday, 26 July 2011, the Existing Share Certificates will cease to be valid for trading purposes after 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 29 August 2011. The Shareholders may, on or after Tuesday, 26 July 2011 until Wednesday, 31 August 2011 (both days inclusive) submit their Existing Shares Certificates (in brown colour) for Shares to the Branch Registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expenses of the Company, for New Share Certificates (in beige colour). It is expected that the New Share Certificates will be available for collection within ten (10) business days after the submission of the Existing Share Certificates to the Branch Registrar for exchange.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
From Thursday, 1 September 2011 onwards, Existing Share Certificates will remain effective as evidence of title but will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Exchange) per certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher, payable by the Shareholders to the Branch Registrar.
The New Share Certificates will be issued in beige colour in order to distinguish them from the Existing Share Certificates which are in brown colour.
Arrangement on Odd Lot Trading
In order to facilitate the trading odd lots (if any) of the New Shares, the Company has appointed Ping An Securities Limited to provide matching services on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the New Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the New Shares.
Holders of odd lots of the New Shares who wish to take advantage of this trading facility should contact Mr. Eddy Lam of Ping An Securities Limited at 4th Floor, Aon China Building, 29 Queen’s Road, Central, Hong Kong (telephone number (852) 2545 3300) during the office hours of the period from Tuesday, 9 August 2011 to Monday, 29 August 2011 (both days inclusive). Shareholders should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the New Shares will not be guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in doubt about the odd lot facility, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
WARNING
Shareholders and potential investors should also be aware of and take note that the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division are conditional upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions of Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division” in the section headed “Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division”. Therefore, Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction and Sub-Division may or may not proceed.
Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
CHANGE OF AUDITOR
Pursuant to an announcement of the Company published on 17 June 2011, DTT has resigned as the auditor of the Group with effect from 17 June 2011 as DTT and the Company could not reach an agreement on the audit fee payable by the Company to DTT for the financial year ending 31 December 2011.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
DTT has confirmed that there are no circumstances connected with its resignation that need to be brought to the attention of the members or creditors of the Company. The Board also confirms that (other than the failure to agree the audit fee payable by the Company to DTT for the financial year ending 31 December 2011), there is no disagreement between the Company and DTT and there are no matters in respect of the change of auditor that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company.
The Board has resolved to appoint BDO as the new auditor of the Group to fill the casual vacancy following the resignation of DTT. The Change of Auditor will, in particular, reduce the audit fee payable by the Company to the auditor for the financial year ending 31 December 2011. The Change of Auditor will be put forward to the Shareholders for approval and ratification by an ordinary resolution at the SGM.
SGM
The SGM will be held at the Boardroom on the 10th Floor of Island Place Tower, 510 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong on Monday, 25 July 2011 at 10.00 a.m. Notice of the SGM is set out on pages 12 to 14 of this circular, for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the proposed resolutions in respect of the Share Consolidation, Capital Reduction, Sub-Division, the Authorisation and Change of Auditor.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM.
VOTING BY POLL
In accordance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, the chairman of the SGM will exercise his right under bye-law 66 of the bye-laws of the Company to demand a poll on all resolutions to be proposed at the SGM.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
A form of proxy for the SGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you intend to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Branch Registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited, at the 26th Floor of Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof.
