Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS INVOLVING GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND REPURCHASE ITS OWN SHARES, RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND ELECTION OF DIRECTOR AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 16th May 2011, resolutions of the Shareholders were passed, amongst other things, giving general unconditional mandates to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to:

  • (1) allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal value of the share capital of the Company in issue as at that date;

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

  • (2) repurchase Shares representing up to 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company as at that date; and

  • (3) extend the general mandate for issuing Shares as mentioned in paragraph (1) above by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of any Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the general mandate to repurchase Shares as mentioned in paragraph (2) above.

The above general mandates shall lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed that your approval of the Ordinary Resolutions be sought at the AGM to grant new general mandates to the Directors.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the Issue Mandate, Repurchase Mandate, extension of Issue Mandate, re-election of retiring Directors and election of Director, and to seek your approval of the Ordinary Resolutions relating to these matters at the AGM.

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

It will be proposed at the AGM, Ordinary Resolutions nos. 5(A) and 5(C) in the AGM Notice for granting to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Ordinary Resolution no. 5(A) in the AGM Notice and adding to such general mandate so granted to the Directors any Shares representing the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company after the granting of the general mandate to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Ordinary Resolution no. 5(B) in the AGM Notice. Such general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares shall be exercisable during the period from the passing of the Ordinary Resolutions nos. 5(A) and 5(C) in the AGM Notice until whichever is 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 of the Company or any applicable laws of Bermuda to be held; or

  • (iii) the date on which the authority set out in such Ordinary Resolutions are revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution or ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders in general meeting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,711,783,573 Shares. Subject to passing of the Ordinary Resolution no. 5(A) in the AGM Notice and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 542,356,714 Shares representing not more than 20% of the issued share capital of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

It will also be proposed at the AGM the Ordinary Resolution no. 5(B) in the AGM Notice for granting to the Directors the power to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Ordinary Resolution no. 5(B) in the AGM Notice.

The following is an explanatory statement as required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Share Repurchase Rules to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Ordinary Resolution no. 5(B) in the AGM Notice in respect of the Repurchase Mandate.

Explanatory Statement

(a) Share Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,711,783,573 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Ordinary Resolution no. 5(B) in the AGM Notice and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 271,178,357 Shares during the period from the passing of the Ordinary Resolution no. 5(B) in the AGM Notice until whichever is 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 of the Company or any applicable laws of Bermuda to be held; or

  • (iii) the date on which the authority set out in such Ordinary Resolution is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

(b) Reasons for the Repurchase

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

(c) Funding of Repurchase

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws and the applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda. Bermuda laws provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either (i) the capital paid up on

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

the relevant shares or (ii) the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or (iii) the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium of the Company.

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 of the Company as contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31st December 2011 in the event that the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such 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 appropriate for the Company.

(d) Share Price

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
April 2011 17.16 14.64
May 2011 16.50 14.44
June 2011 15.54 12.90
July 2011 14.58 12.38
August 2011 12.92 9.20
September 2011 11.20 7.52
October 2011 11.80 7.98
November 2011 10.96 8.40
December 2011 9.49 8.30
January 2012 11.28 9.16
February 2012 13.06 10.80
March 2012 12.44 10.82
April 2012 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 12.04 11.02

(e) Undertaking

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

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

(f) Takeovers Code

If on the exercise of the power 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 group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company or become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, COSCO Pacific Investment Holdings Limited together with its associates are beneficially interested in 1,158,303,338 Shares representing approximately 42.71% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, then (if the present shareholdings remain the same), the shareholdings of COSCO Pacific Investment Holdings Limited together with its associates will be increased to approximately 47.46% of the issued share capital of the Company and an obligation to make general offer may arise. In such an event, the Directors will take all steps necessary to comply with the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code.

Save as mentioned above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate and have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Takeovers Code may arise.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the number of Shares held by the public would not fall below 25%.

(g) Share Repurchase made by the Company

The Company and its subsidiaries had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

4. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

The Board currently consists of fourteen Directors, namely Mr. LI Yunpeng (Chairman) , Dr. WANG Xingru (Vice Chairman & Managing Director) , Mr. WAN Min, Mr. HE Jiale, Mr. FENG Bo, Mr. FENG Jinhua, Mr. WANG Haimin, Mr. WANG Wei, Dr. WONG Tin Yau, Kelvin, Mr. YIN Weiyu, Dr. LI Kwok Po, David, Mr. CHOW Kwong Fai, Edward, Mr. Timothy George FRESHWATER and Dr. FAN HSU Lai Tai, Rita.

Pursuant to the Bye-laws, Mr. LI Yunpeng, Dr. WANG Xingru, Mr. WAN Min, Mr. FENG Bo, Mr. WANG Wei, Mr. YIN Weiyu, Dr. LI Kwok Po, David and Mr. Timothy George FRESHWATER shall retire from office at the AGM. Except Dr. LI Kwok Po, David who does not offer himself for re-election, all other retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. Details of the retiring Directors proposed for re-election at the AGM are set out in the appendix to this circular.

To fill the vacancy, the Board is pleased to recommend the election of Mr. Adrian David LI Man Kiu as Director by Shareholders at the AGM. Details of Mr. Adrian David LI Man Kiu are set out in the appendix to this circular.

Mr. Adrian David LI Man Kiu is the son of Dr. LI Kwok Po, David, a retiring Independent Non-executive Director of the Company. Accordingly, Mr. Adrian David LI Man Kiu is connected with a Director of the Company within two years immediately prior to the date of his proposed appointment as an Independent Non-executive Director under Rule 3.13(6) of the Listing Rules.

Save as disclosed above, Mr. Adrian David LI Man Kiu meets all the other independence factors set out in Rule 3.13. Taking into account that (i) The Bank of East Asia, Limited of which Dr. LI Kwok Po, David serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive and Mr. Adrian David LI Man Kiu serves as the Deputy Chief Executive respectively is not a principal banker of the Company and (ii) there is no business relationship between the Company and other listed companies of which Mr. Adrian David LI Man Kiu acts as a director (including alternate director), the Board considered Mr. Adrian David LI Man Kiu to be independent and a suitable candidate for being an Independent Non-executive Director of the Company.

5. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Pages 18 to 22 of this circular set out the AGM Notice, which contains resolutions to be proposed to the Shareholders in respect of the ordinary businesses of the Company to be considered at the AGM (being the adoption of the audited financial statements and the directors’ and independent auditor’s reports of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2011, the declaration of a final dividend, the re-election of retiring Directors and election of Director, the fixing of the remuneration of Directors and the re-appointment of auditor as well as fixing the remuneration of the auditor) and the special businesses of the Company to be considered at the AGM (being the proposed grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate).
