To the shareholders,
Dear Sir or Madam,
GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
INTRODUCTION
Since 24 May 2002, the date of this year’s annual general meeting, the issued share capital of the Company had increased from HK$99,672,885 to HK$119,602,885 as at 15 November 2002 (the latest practicable date prior to the printing of the circular (the “Latest Practicable Date”)). The increase in issued share capital during this period was attributed to the issue of 199,300,000 shares of HK$0.10 each (“Shares”) on 4 October 2002, pursuant to the placement of new Shares to independent placees as announced by the Company on 20 September 2002.
On 24 May 2002, the date of this year’s annual general meeting, the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) were granted general mandate (the “Existing Share Issue Mandate”) to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares of the Company. Following the completion of the placement of 199,300,000 new Shares on 4 October 2002, the Existing Share Issue Mandate has been substantially utilised.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors propose to put forward an ordinary resolution at the Special General Meeting (“SGM”) seeking shareholders’ approval to grant the Directors a general mandate (“New Share Issue Mandate”), for the period up until the next annual general meeting of the Company, to issue up to 20% of the ordinary share capital of the Company in issue at the date of the SGM since this will provide flexibility to the Company to issue new Shares. The Directors have no current intention to issue any part of the unissued share capital of the Company. The Directors also propose to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$200,000,000 to HK$400,000,000.
INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had an authorised share capital of HK200,000,000, of which 1,196,028,853 Shares were issued. It is proposed that an ordinary resolution be put forward for consideration at the SGM to increase the Company’s authorised ordinary share capital from HK$200,000,000 to HK$400,000,000, by the creation of an additional 2,000,000,000 new ordinary Shares of HK$0.10 each ranking pari passu with the existing Shares in order to facilitate future possible share issues. The Directors have no current intention to issue any part of the unissued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to issue and allot Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the New Share Issue Mandate, an additional of 239,205,770 Shares would be issued by the Company.
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy and return it in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible to the Company’s Share Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited of Rooms 1901-5, 19th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, and in any event not less than 48 hours before the SGM. The completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM if you so wish.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors believe that the general mandate to issue Shares of the Company and the increase in authorised share capital from HK$200,000,000 to HK$400,000,000 are in the best interests of the Company as well as its shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all shareholders vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the SGM.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of
INNOMAXX BIOTECHNOLOGY GROUP LIMITED
