EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 2,924,085,668.
Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate (as set out in Resolution no. 5 of notice of the AGM) and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would result in the repurchase by the Company of a maximum of 292,408,566 Shares during the period as set out in Resolution no. 5 of notice of AGM, representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value of the Group and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with its financial position as disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2011) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors, however, do not propose to exercise the 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 be appropriate for the Company.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSON

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCE
If on exercise of its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the 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 Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the interests of substantial shareholders of the Company, as defined in the Listing Rules, were as follows:
| Approximate percentage of | ||
|---|---|---|
| Name of substantial | Number of issued | the total issued share |
| shareholder | shares held | capital of the Company |
| Jadehero Limited | 800,000,000 | 27.36% |
| Mankind Investment Limited (“MIL”) | 500,000,000 | 17.10% |
On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchase prior to the AGM and the respective shareholdings of the above-mentioned substantial shareholders remained unchanged, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares of the Company under the Repurchase Mandate, if so approved, in accordance with the terms of resolution no. 5 as set out in the notice of AGM, the shareholdings of Jadehero Limited and Mankind Investment Limited would be increased to approximately 30.40% and 19% of the issued share capital of the Company respectively. In view of this, it would be expected that Jadehero Limited would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of Takeovers Code. However, the Directors currently do not have any intention to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would give rise to such an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase to be made under the Repurchase Mandate. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is implemented in full, the number of Shares held by the public would not fall below 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.
8. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not purchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
