To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) details of the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme; and (ii) the notice convening the EGM.

* For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Background of the Scheme Mandate Limit and Reason for the Proposed Refreshment

The Share Option Scheme was approved and adopted by the Shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 18 May 2012. Upon the adoption, the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme was 48,520,000 (the “ Previous Scheme Mandate Limit I ”). Such Scheme Mandate limited was refreshed to 52,152,000 Shares (the “ Previous Scheme Mandate Limit II ”) on 19 August 2013. Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Scheme Mandate Limit was 52,152,000 Shares and options carrying the right to subscribe for 52,100,000 Shares have been granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme since its adoption. Unless the Scheme Mandate Limit is refreshed, only up to 52,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.099% of the Scheme Mandate Limit, may be issued pursuant to the grant of further options under the Share Option Scheme. Given that over 99.9% of the Scheme Mandate Limit has been utilised as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board considers that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit so that the Share Option Scheme may continue to serve its intended purpose for the benefit of the Group.

Rules of the Share Option Scheme on Scheme Mandate Limit

Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Group shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval and adoption of the Share Option Scheme.

The Company may at any time as the Board may think fit seek approval from the Shareholders to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit, save that the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval by the Shareholders in general meeting where the Scheme Mandate Limit is refreshed. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other schemes of the Company) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

The total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted to each participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12-month period must not exceed 1% of Shares in issue. Where any further grant of options to a participant would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options granted and to be granted to such person (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such further

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

grant representing in aggregate over 1% of the Shares in issue, such further grant must be separately approved by shareholders of the Company in general meeting with such participant and his associates abstaining from voting.

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 options granted and yet to be exercised under any other scheme shall not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Company if this will result in such 30% limit being exceeded.

Proposed Refreshment

If the Proposed Refreshment is approved at the EGM, based on the 521,520,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the EGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes of the Company will be 52,152,000 Shares, being 10% of the Shares in issue as at the EGM date.

On 23 July 2012, the Company granted a total of 48,500,000 options to subscribe for a total of 48,500,000 Shares under the Previous Scheme Mandate Limit I. None of these options granted were exercised, cancelled or lapsed as at the Latest Practicable Date.

On 5 September 2013, the Company granted a total of 52,100,000 options to subscribe for a total of 52,152,000 Shares under the Previous Scheme Mandate Limit II. None of these options granted were exercised, cancelled or lapsed as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 100,600,000 outstanding share options granted under the Share Option Scheme.

On the basis of 521,520,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Proposed Refreshment (i.e. 52,152,000 Shares) together with all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised as at the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. 100,600,000 Shares) amounts to an aggregate of 152,752,000 Shares, representing approximately 29.29% of the Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date and is within the 30% limit in issue from time to time as required under Share Option Scheme and Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

Conditions of the Proposed Refreshment

The Proposed Refreshment is conditional upon:

  • (a) the Shareholders passing the relevant resolution at the EGM to approve the Proposed Refreshment; and
