To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES, RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. These include: (i) the ordinary resolutions granting the Directors general mandates to issue new Shares and to repurchase Shares; and (ii) the ordinary resolutions proposing the re-election of the retiring Directors.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES

On 13 May 2015, ordinary resolutions were passed by the then Shareholders giving general unconditional mandates to the Directors to:

(1) allot, issue and deal with Shares with an aggregate nominal value not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of this resolution;
(2) repurchase on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed and recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange for such purpose such number of Shares with an aggregate nominal value not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of this resolution; and
(3) add to the general mandate for issuing Shares as mentioned in paragraph (1) above an amount representing the aggregate nominal value of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company under the general mandate granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares as mentioned in paragraph (2) above.

The above general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. The Board therefore proposes to seek your approval of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to give fresh general mandates to the Directors.

At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to give to the Directors a fresh general mandate (i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the relevant resolution; (ii) to repurchase Shares with an aggregate nominal amount up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the relevant resolution during the period from the date of passing of the relevant resolution up to: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying the Repurchase Mandate, whichever occurs first; and (iii) to add to such general mandate so granted to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company (up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the then issued share capital of the Company) repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

An explanatory statement containing all relevant information relating to the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The information in the explanatory statement is to provide you with the information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 116 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Frank John Sixt, Ms. Mak Soek Fun, Angela and Mr. Ip Yuk-keung, Albert, will retire by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.

The details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

AGM

A notice convening the AGM to be held at the Grand Ballroom II, 1st Floor, Harbour Grand Kowloon, 20 Tak Fung Street, Whampoa Garden, Hung Hom, Kowloon on Wednesday, 11 May 2016 at 10:00 a.m. is set out on pages 11 to 14 of this circular.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 13.39(4), any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The chairman of the AGM will therefore put each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to be voted by way of a poll pursuant to Article 80 of the Articles of Association.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, please complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the principal place of business of the Company at Rooms 1601-05, 16/F China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the AGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors are of the opinion that the proposals referred to in this circular are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and therefore recommend you to vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

Yours faithfully, By Order of the Board

Yeung Kwok Mung

Chief Executive Officer and

Executive Director

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised of 3,893,270,558 Shares.

Subject to the passing of relevant ordinary resolution no. 5 at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 389,327,055 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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 asset value and/or 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 REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not purchase securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

Under the Cayman Islands law, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose or, subject to the statutory test of solvency, out of capital. Any premium payable on purchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account or, subject to the statutory test of solvency, out of capital.

4. GENERAL

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 financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors 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 on its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

5. SHARE PRICES

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$
March 2015	2.370	1.660
April 2015	2.420	2.090
May 2015	2.970	2.020
June 2015	2.550	1.780
July 2015	1.850	1.260
August 2015	1.680	1.370
September 2015	2.000	1.420
October 2015	2.210	1.890
November 2015	2.140	1.900
December 2015	2.000	1.830
January 2016	1.980	1.510
February 2016	1.850	1.580
From 1 March 2016 to the Latest Practicable Date	2.150	1.790

6. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their Associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that it has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

7. THE CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Code.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, by virtue of the SFO, CK Hutchison Holdings Limited (“CKHH”), which is a substantial Shareholder of the Company, was deemed to be interested in 1,430,120,545 Shares (representing approximately 36.73% of the issued share capital of the Company). In the event that the Directors exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, then (if the present shareholdings remained the same) the deemed interest of CKHH in the Company would be increased to approximately 40.81% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Code.

However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in takeover obligations.

8. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchases of Shares have been made by the Company in the previous six months, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.
