Dear Sir or Madam

(I) TERMINATION OF EXISTING SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND ADOPTION OF NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND (II) CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

INTRODUCTION

The Directors propose (1) to terminate the Existing Scheme and adopt the New Scheme and (2) the Change of Company Name.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further details of (i) the termination of the Existing Scheme and the adoption of the New Scheme, (ii) the Change of Company Name and (iii) the notice of EGM.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

TERMINATION OF EXISTING SCHEME

By a resolution of the then Shareholders passed on 12 February 2003, the Existing Scheme was adopted. Under the Existing Scheme, the Directors were authorized to grant options to subscribe for Shares to any full-time employee (including executive Director) of any member of the Group.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any option outstanding pursuant to the Existing Scheme and nor does it maintain any share option scheme other than the Existing Scheme.

The Board proposes to terminate the Existing Scheme and adopt the New Scheme, both of which are subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM. Upon the termination of the Existing Scheme, if so approved, no further options shall be offered or granted pursuant to the Existing Scheme.

ADOPTION OF NEW SCHEME

The New Scheme

Set out in the appendix to this circular is a summary of the principal terms of the New Scheme, which serves to summarize the terms of the New Scheme, but does not constitute the full terms of the same. A copy of the full terms of the New Scheme will be available for inspection at the New Principal Place of Business in Hong Kong of the Company at 35th Floor, Office Tower, Convention Plaza, 1 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong during normal business hours for a 14-day period immediately preceding the date of the EGM and also at the EGM.

With its broadened basis of participation, under the New Scheme, the Participants, at the absolute discretion of the Board, may include any party who is (a) an Employee; or (b) a Business Associate; or (c) a person or entity that provides research, development or other technological support to the Group or any Invested Entity; or (d) a shareholder of any member of the Group or any Invested Entity or any holder of any securities issued by any member of the Group or any Invested Entity.

The total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted under the New Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not, in aggregate, exceed 10% of the Shares in issue on the date of approval of the New Scheme by the Shareholders (the ‘‘General Scheme Limit’’). This 10% limit may, however, be refreshed as detailed in paragraph 3 of the appendix to this circular.

On the basis of there being 2,924,085,668 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the EGM, the General Scheme Limit will be 292,408,566 Shares.

The Company is not required to appoint any trustee for the purpose of administering the New Scheme. The Board does not intend to appoint any trustee for the purpose of administering the New Scheme. The New Scheme will be subject to administration of the Board.

To the best knowledge of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder has a material interest in the New Scheme different to that of any other Shareholder and accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the EGM on the resolution approving the adoption of the New Scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Issues

Existing Scheme

New Scheme

If employment of an Option Holder employee ceases by reason other than death, ill-health, retirement, voluntary resignation, termination of employment in accordance with the relevant provisions of the contract of employment, inability to repay debt, or bankruptcy, any outstanding Option may be exercised within 1 month of cessation

If the Option Holder employee ceases to be an employee for any reason other than death, ill-health or retirement in accordance with his contract of employment or for serious misconduct or other grounds referred to in the New Scheme before exercising his Option in full, the Option (to the extent not already exercised) will lapse on the date of cessation and will not be exercisable unless the Board otherwise determine.

Right of Grantees in the case of a General Offer

In the case of a general offer, subject to the conditions set out in the Existing Scheme, each Option Holder shall be entitled to exercise any outstanding Option within 14 days after the offeror (of the general offer) has obtained control of the Company; and

In the case of a general or partial offer, subject to the conditions set out in the New Scheme, a Grantee shall be entitled to exercise any outstanding Option at any time before the close of such offer (or any revised Offer)

Any Option which has not been so exercised shall, upon expiry of the 14 days’ period, cease and determine provided that if, during such period, such Option Holder becomes entitled to exercise rights of compulsory acquisition of Shares and gives notice of his intention to exercise such rights, the Option shall be and remain exerciseable until one (1) month from the date of such notice

Conditions of the adoption of the New Scheme

The adoption of the New Scheme is conditional upon (i) the approval of the termination of the Existing Scheme, the adoption of the New Scheme and the allotment and issuance of the Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of any Options granted under the New Scheme by the Shareholders at the general meeting of the Company; and (ii) the Stock Exchange granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the Options to be granted under the New Scheme up to a maximum of 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the EGM.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the EGM which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of Options to be granted under the New Scheme.

Reasons for the proposal

The Exiting Scheme will expire on 12 February 2013. The Directors consider that it is appropriate to adopt the New Scheme due to the following:

The purpose of the New Scheme is to enable the Group to recruit and retain senior management and key employees, attract human resources that are valuable to the Group and the Invested Entity, and to provide the Participants with an opportunity to have a personal stake in the Company through the Company offering the grant of Options with the view to motivate the Participants to optimize their performance and efficiency for the benefit of the Group or the Invested Entity. With this in mind, the management of the Company proposes that the Existing Scheme should be replaced by the New Scheme so as to further expand the scope of persons being eligible to participate in the share option scheme of the Company, that is, the Participants that the New Scheme is intended to benefit.

The scope of Participants under the New Scheme is wider than that under the Existing Scheme — not only does it encompass full-time employees (including executive Directors) of any member of the Group, but it also encompasses, among others, (a) any Employee; (b) any Business Associate; (c) any person or entity that provides research, development or other technological support to the Group or any Invested Entity; and (d) any shareholder of any member of the Group or any Invested Entity or any holder of any securities issued by any member of the Group or any Invested Entity. In line with the purpose of the New Scheme to enable the Group to grant Options to selected Participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Group, by extending the definition of ‘‘Eligible Participants’’ to include Business Associate, the Company has the alternative to reward Business Associate by way of granting Options. The grant of Options also provide the Business Associates with the opportunity to have an equity interest in the Company which will help foster a stronger business relationship between the Business Associates and the Group thus contributing to the long term growth of the Group.

Having taken into account the above-mentioned reasons and factors, the Directors consider that the adoption of the New Scheme is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Proceeds derived from the New Scheme shall be used as general working capital of the Company.

Value of all Options that can be granted under the New Scheme

The Directors consider that it is inappropriate to state the value of all Options that may be granted pursuant to the New Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date, because the calculation of the value of the Options is based on a number of variables such as the exercise price, exercise period, interest rate, expected volatility and other relevant variables. As no Option has been granted under the New Scheme, such variables are not available for the purposes of calculating the value

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of the options that can be granted under the New Scheme. The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on such numerous speculative assumptions would not be meaningful to the Shareholders.

CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board propose to change the name of the Company from ‘‘China Fortune Group Limited 中國 富強集團有限公司’’ to ‘‘China Fortune Financial Group Limited 中國富強金融集團有限公司’’.

Conditions for the Change of Company Name

The proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the forthcoming EGM approving the proposed Change of Company Name; and

  • (ii) the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands granting approval for the proposed Change of Company Name.

The new name of the Company will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands enters the new name of the Company on the register in place of the existing name. The Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands shall issue the certificate of incorporation on change of name thereafter. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures in Hong Kong.

Reason for the Change of Company Name

The Board is of the view that the new name will better reflect the nature and business development of the Company. This change will not affect the Company’s existing business.

The Board believes that the proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Effect of Change of Company Name

The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the holders of securities of the Company. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the existing name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name becoming effective, continue to be evidence of title to such securities and will remain to be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company.

Upon the Change of Company Name becoming effective, new share certificates of the Company will be issued under the new name. The English and the Chinese stock short names of the Company will also be changed.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company when the Change of Company Name becomes effective, to inform the Shareholders of the relevant trading arrangement and the new English and Chinese stock short names pursuant to the Change of Company Name.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EGM

The EGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass (i) the ordinary resolution to terminate the Existing Scheme and the adoption of the New Scheme and (ii) the special resolution to approve the Change of Company Name.

A notice convening the EGM to be held on 19 August 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at 35th Floor, Office Tower, Convention Plaza, 1 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong is set out on pages 20 to 22 of this circular.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish. In compliance with the Listing Rules, all the proposed resolutions will be taken by way of poll at the EGM.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed resolutions in respect of the termination of the Existing Scheme and the adoption of the New Scheme and the Change of Company Name as set out in the notice of the EGM are all in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, The Directors recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of all the proposed resolutions at the EGM.

The Subscription Price for Shares under the New Scheme will be a price determined by the Directors, but shall not be less than the higher of (i) the closing price of Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet on the date of the Offer of grant, which shall be a Business Day; (ii) the average closing price of Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of the Offer of grant; and (iii) the nominal value of the Shares.

9. RANKING OF SHARES

  • (a) The Shares to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of an Option will be subject to the articles of association of the Company and will rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid Shares as at the date of allotment or, if that date falls on a day when the register of members of the Company is closed, the first day of the re-opening of the register of members (the ‘‘Exercise Date’’) and accordingly will entitle the holders thereof to participate in all dividends or other distributions paid or made on or after the Exercise Date other than any dividend or other distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made if the record date there for shall be before the Exercise Date. A Share allotted upon the exercise of an Option shall not carry voting rights until the completion of the registration of the Grantee on the register of members of the Company as the holder thereof.

  • (b) Unless the context otherwise requires, references to ‘‘Shares’’ in this paragraph include references to Shares in the ordinary equity share capital of the Company of such nominal amount as shall result from a subdivision, consolidation, re-classification or reduction of the Share capital of the Company from time to time.

10. PERIOD OF THE NEW SCHEME

11. RIGHTS ON CEASING EMPLOYMENT

If the Grantee is an Employee and ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death, illhealth or retirement in accordance with his contract of employment or for serious misconduct or other grounds referred to in Clause 15 below before exercising his Option in full, the Option (to the extent not already exercised) will lapse on the date of cessation and will not be exercisable unless the Board otherwise determine.

12. RIGHTS ON DEATH, ILL-HEALTH OR RETIREMENT

If the Grantee is an Employee and ceases to be an Employee by reason of his death, ill-health or retirement in accordance with his contract of employment before exercising the Option in full, his Personal Representative(s), or, as appropriate, the Grantee may exercise the Option (to the extent not

already exercised) in whole or in part within a period of 12 months following the date of cessation which date shall be the last day on which the Grantee was at work with the Group or the Invested Entity whether salary is paid in lieu of notice or not or such longer period as the Board may determine.

13. RIGHTS ON DISMISSAL

If the Grantee is an Employee and ceases to be an Employee by reason that he has been guilty of serious misconduct or has committed any act of bankruptcy or has become insolvent or has made any arrangements or composition with his creditors generally, or has been convicted of any criminal offence (other than an offence which in the opinion of the Board does not bring the Grantee or the Group or the Invested Entity into disrepute), his Option will lapse automatically and will not in any event be exercisable on or after the date of cessation to be an Employee.

14. RIGHTS OF BUSINESS ASSOCIATE

  • (a) If the Grantee is a Business Associate and ceases to be a Business Associate by any reason other than death, termination or expiry of the corresponding contract before exercising his Option in full, the Grantee may exercise the Option (to the extent not already exercised) in whole or in part up to his entitlement at the date of cessation within a period of 12 months following the date of cessation, failing which his Option (to the extent not already exercised) shall lapse.

  • (b) If the Grantee is a Business Associate and ceases to be a Business Associate by any reason of his death, termination or expiry of the corresponding contract before exercising his Option in full, his Personal Representative(s), or, as appropriate, the Grantee may exercise the Option (to the extent not already exercised) in whole or in part up to his entitlement at the date of cessation within a period of 12 months following the date of cessation, failing which his Option (to the extent not already exercised) shall lapse.

15. RIGHTS ON BREACH OF CONTRACT

If the Board shall at its absolute discretion determine that (i) the Grantee of any Option (other than an Employee or Business Associate) has committed any breach of any contract entered into between the Grantee on the one part and the Group or any Invested Entity on the other part; or (ii) that such Grantee has committed any act of bankruptcy or has become insolvent or is subject to any winding-up, liquidation or analogous proceedings or has made any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or (iii) such Grantee can no longer make any contribution to the growth and development of the Group by reason of the cessation of its relations with the Group or by other reason whatsoever, the Option granted to such Grantee under the New Scheme shall lapse, and any part of the Option not already exercised at the date of the event referred to (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall not in any event be exercisable on or after the date on which the event referred to (i), (ii) or (iii) above has occurred.

16. RIGHTS ON A GENERAL OFFER, A COMPROMISE OR ARRANGEMENT

  • (a) If a general or partial offer, whether by way of take-over offer, Share re-purchase offer, or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner is made to all the holders of the Shares, or all such holders other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by the offeror and/or any person acting in association or concert with the offeror, the Company shall use all

reasonable endeavours to procure that such offer is extended to all the Grantees on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and assuming that they will become, by the exercise in full of the Options granted to them, Shareholders. If such offer becomes or is declared unconditional, a Grantee shall be entitled to exercise his Option (to the extent not already exercised) to its full extent or to the extent specified in the Grantee’s notice to the Company in exercise of his Option at any time before the close of such Offer (or any revised Offer) or the record date for entitlements under such scheme of arrangement, as the case may be. Subject to the above, an Option will lapse automatically (to the extent not exercised) on the date on which such Offer (or, as the case may be, revised Offer) closes.

  • (b) In the event of a compromise or arrangement between the Company and its creditors (or any class of them) or between the Company and the Shareholders (or any class of them), in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company is proposed, the Company shall give notice thereof to all Grantees on the same date as it gives notice of the meeting to its creditors or Shareholders to consider such a compromise or arrangement, and thereupon the Grantee (or his or her personal representative(s), as the case may be) may forthwith and until the expiry of the period commencing with such date and ending with the earlier of the date falling 2 months thereafter and the date on which such compromise or arrangement is sanctioned by the court be entitled to exercise his or her Option (to the extent which has become exercisable but not already exercised), but the exercise of the Option shall be conditional upon such compromise or arrangement being sanctioned by the court and becoming effective. The Company may thereafter require such Grantee (or his or her personal representative(s), as the case may be) to transfer or otherwise deal with the Shares issued as a result of the exercise of his or her Options in these circumstances so as to place the Grantee in the same position as nearly as would have been the case had such Shares been subject to such compromise or arrangement. Subject to the above, an Option will lapse automatically (to the extent not exercised) on the date the proposed compromise or arrangement becomes effective.

17. RIGHTS ON WINDING UP

In the event of a resolution being proposed for the voluntary winding-up of the Company during the Effective Period or the Option Period (as the case may be), the Grantee (or his or her personal representative(s), as the case may be) may, subject to the provisions of all applicable laws, by notice in writing to the Company at any time not less than 2 Business Days prior to the date on which such resolution is to be considered and/or passed, exercise his Option (to the extent not already exercised) either to its full extent or to the extent specified in such notice in accordance with the provisions of the New Scheme and the Company shall allot and issue to the Grantee the Shares in respect of which such Grantee has exercised his Option not less than the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such resolution is to be considered and/or passed whereupon the Grantee shall accordingly be entitled, in respect of the Shares thus allotted and issued to him in the aforesaid manner, to participate in the distribution of the assets of the Company available in liquidation pari passu with the holders of the Shares in issue on the day prior to the date of passing of such resolution. Subject to the above, all Options (to the extent not exercised) shall lapse and determine on the commencement of the winding-up of the Company.

18. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

In the event of a capitalisation issue, rights issue, subdivision or consolidation of Shares or reduction of capital of the Company whilst an Option remains exercisable, such corresponding alterations (if any) certified by the Auditors for the time being of or an independent financial adviser to the Company as fair and reasonable will be made to the number or nominal amount of Shares, the subject matter of the New Scheme and the Option so far as unexercised and/or the Option price of the Option concerned, provided that (i) any adjustments shall give a Grantee the same proportion of the issued Share capital to which he was entitled prior to such alteration; (ii) the issue of Shares or other securities of the Group as consideration in a transaction may not be regarded as a circumstance requiring adjustment; and (iii) no alteration shall be made the effect of which would be to enable a Share to be issued at less than its nominal value and in each case, any adjustment shall be made, and in each case, any adjustment shall be made in compliance with the Listing Rules and such rules, codes and guidance notes of the Stock Exchange from time to time. In addition, in respect of any such adjustments, other than any made on a capitalisation issue, such Auditors or independent financial adviser shall confirm to the Directors in writing that the adjustments satisfy the requirements of the relevant provision of the Listing Rules.

19. CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS

Any cancellation of Options granted but not exercised shall require the approval of the Board and subject to the consent of the relevant Grantee.

20. TERMINATION OF THE NEW SCHEME

The Company may by ordinary resolution in general meeting at any time terminate the New Scheme and in such event no further Options shall be offered but in all other respects the provisions of the New Scheme shall remain in force to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted during the Effective Period or otherwise prior to the termination or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the New Scheme. Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to such termination shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the New Scheme.

21. RIGHTS ARE PERSONAL TO THE GRANTEE

An Option is personal to the Grantee and shall not be transferable or assignable. To avoid any doubt, no Option shall be granted to any associated company, nominated person or any other entity connected or associated with any Grantee or Participant.
