It has been considered and approved by the Board that a proposal be put forth to the AGM for the termination of the office of Mr. Luo as a non-executive Director, and for the nomination of Mr. Xu as a non-executive Director. If approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, the term of the office of Mr. Xu will commence from the conclusion of the AGM and end on the date of expiry of the term of the 4th session of the Board (which term will expire on 15 March 2013), and the office of Mr. Luo will end with effect from the conclusion of the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Construction Project

Further details of the general construction and investment budget plan of the Industry Park as at the Latest Practicable Date are set out below:

Estimated total area:

Approximately 533,000 sq. m., including office area, production area, supporting facilities area and multi-purpose area comprising approximately 18 buildings in total

Construction and management unit:

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

Phase I work:

  • estimated investment amount – RMB3.655 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$4.496 billion)

  • estimated commencement date – mid 2012

  • estimated completion date – end of 2014

  • consists of the construction of 13 buildings with a total gross floor area of approximately 368,000 sq. m., including a headquarters office building, two research and development centre buildings, two settlement centre buildings, an operating centre building, an engine building, a machinery building, three dormitory buildings, a power and energy building and a cultural and sports centre

Reasons for and Benefits of the Construction Project

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of aviation information technology services in the PRC as well as provision of information system development and support services and accounting, settlement and clearing services to domestic and worldwide airline companies.

The Construction Project is essential to the Group as the existing working area and machinery area of the Group are close to saturation, the Industry Park will be an all-in-one international headquarters base comprising large-scale database centre, transportation and maintenance service, smart office, research and development and backup support. The Board believes that the Industry Park can enhance the technology upgrade of the Group and train high caliber technicians and management personnel and build up a high quality team of high new technology staff so as to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of the Group.

All the above will bring positive effects to the Group in the long run.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Financial Effects of the Construction Project on the Group

The Construction Project will be funded by internal resources of the Group, and depending on the Group’s operational and cash conditions and costs of fund raising, the Group may consider external financing when appropriate. The Board estimates that the Construction Project will not have any material effect on the cash flow and business operation of the Group for 2012.

It is currently estimated that the annual investment amount of the Phase I work of the Construction Project will not exceed 30% of the total asset of the Group of the preceding year.

Shareholders’ Approval

The Board, as advised by the Group’s PRC legal adviser, would therefore like to seek Shareholders’ approval for, among others, the general plan of the Construction Project and the construction and investment budget plan of its Phase I work at the AGM.

Subject to the approval of Shareholders at the AGM, the Board will authorize its executive committee (comprising 3 executive Directors) to handle the relevant execution work in relation to the Phase I work of the Construction Project, including but not limited to making 10% upward or downward adjustment to the total investment amount of the Phase I work after taking into account factors such as economic condition, inflation rate, regulatory requirements and operation status of the Group etc.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not entered into any contract in relation to the Construction Project. The Company will (if required) make timely disclosure in respect of the Construction Project in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations (including but not limited to the Listing Rules).

PROPOSED GRANT OF THE ISSUE MANDATE

According to Article 56 of the Articles, Shareholders can, in general meetings of the Company, authorise the Board to carry out the authorised matters.

At the AGM, a special resolution will be proposed that the Board be granted the Issue Mandate to exercise the power of the Company to authorise, allot, issue or otherwise deal with, and to make or grant offers, agreements and options in respect thereof, Shares up to a maximum of 20% of each of the Domestic Shares and H Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 2,926,209,589 Shares, comprising 1,993,647,589 Domestic Shares and 932,562,000 H Shares, were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution approving the grant of the Issue Mandate to the Board and on the basis that no Share will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Board will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 398,729,517 Domestic Shares and 186,512,400 H Shares respectively. The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to grant the Issue Mandate to the

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Board to issue new Shares. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstances in which the Directors might think it appropriate to issue Shares, the ability to do so would give them the flexibility to capture the opportunity if it so arises.

The Issue Mandate would expire on the earlier of (a) twelve months from the date of passing of the resolution; (b) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (c) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by a special resolution of the Shareholders in any general meeting.

PROPOSED GRANT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Legal and regulatory requirements

The Company Law, the Mandatory Provisions and the Articles provide for certain restrictions on the repurchase of Shares which are applicable to all classes of Shares.

The Company Law (to which the Company is subject) provides that a joint stock limited company incorporated in the PRC may not repurchase its shares unless such repurchase is effected for the purpose of reducing its share capital or in connection with a merger between itself and another entity that holds its shares, or granting incentive shares to its staff and workers, or the shareholders’ requesting the company to purchase its own shares where the shareholders oppose the decision on merger or division of the company made at a general meeting of shareholders. The Mandatory Provisions, which the Company has incorporated in the Articles, provide that subject to obtaining the approval of the relevant PRC regulatory authorities and in compliance with the Articles, the Company may repurchase its issued Shares for the purpose of reducing its share capital, or in connection with a merger between itself and another entity that holds its Shares, or in other circumstances permitted by laws or administrative regulations.

Rule 10.06(1)(a) and Rule 19A.25 of the Listing Rules permit the shareholders of a PRC joint stock limited company to grant a general mandate to its directors to repurchase shares of such company that is listed on the Stock Exchange. Such mandate is required to be given by way of a special resolution passed by its shareholders in general meeting and by way of special resolutions passed by holders of domestic shares and holders of overseas listed foreign shares at separate class meetings.

The repurchase of H Shares by the Company is subject to the approvals of various PRC governmental authorities, which include SASAC, SAFE and/or (if appropriate) any other regulatory authorities as required by the laws, standards and system of the PRC. The approval of SAFE is required as H Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in Hong Kong dollars and the price payable by the Company upon any repurchase of H Shares will, therefore, be paid in Hong Kong dollars. The Company has also been advised by its PRC legal advisers that the passing of a special resolution to approve the grant to the Directors of the Repurchase Mandate would constitute a reduction in the registered capital of the Company when such mandate is actually exercised by the Directors.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with the requirements of the Articles applicable to capital reduction (as incorporated from the Mandatory Provisions), the Company will have to notify its creditors of the passing of the resolution for the reduction of the registered capital of the Company. According to Article 28 of the Articles, such notification is to be given to the Company’s creditors within ten days after the passing of such resolution and also by way of publication on three occasions of a press announcement in the PRC within 30 days after the passing of such special resolution. Creditors of the Company then have a period of up to 30 days after the Company’s notification or if no such notification has been received, up to 90 days after the first publication of the aforesaid press announcement to require the Company to repay amounts due to them or to provide guarantees in respect of such amounts. Further, the registered capital of the Company shall not be reduced to an amount lower than the statutory minimum amount.

In addition, the Company Law, the Articles and the Mandatory Provisions provide that the shares repurchased by a company will have to be cancelled and the registered capital of that company will therefore be reduced by an amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the shares so cancelled. In the event of a reduction of registered capital, the company shall inform its creditor(s) by way of written notice and announcement within a prescribed period after the passing of the relevant shareholders’ resolutions approving such reduction. The creditors shall be entitled to request the company for repayment of loan and/or provision of guarantee. Penalty will be imposed on a company for any failure to notify the creditors. The statutory notification requirement allows the creditors an opportunity for the recovery and/or security of the debt where a company’s registered capital is to be reduced.

The Company has been advised by its PRC legal advisers that subject to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors and the obtaining of the above mentioned approvals by the relevant PRC regulatory authorities by the Company, the Company will only be required to give such notification to its creditors in the event that the Directors shall decide to exercise their powers under the Repurchase Mandate and the registered capital of the Company shall be reduced thereby.

In light of the above and provided that other conditions precedent are fulfilled, the Directors will exercise the power to repurchase H Shares after the notification duty is discharged and the possible disputes over debts can be reduced thereby and in compliance with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules.

Reasons and conditions for the Repurchase Mandate

In order to ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable to repurchase any H Shares (including where such repurchase may lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or the earnings per Share), approval is proposed to be sought from the Shareholders for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Board. In accordance with the legal and regulatory requirements described above, the AGM and the Class Meetings are proposed to be convened and, at each of such meetings, a special resolution will be proposed to grant to the Board the Repurchase Mandate, i.e. a conditional general mandate to repurchase H Shares in issue on the Stock Exchange with an aggregate nominal value not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

value of H Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of passing of such special resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 932,562,000 H Shares in issue. Assuming that the number of H Shares remains unchanged up to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 93,256,200 H Shares.

The exercise of the Repurchase Mandate will be conditional upon (a) the approvals of SASAC and SAFE (or their respective successor authorities) and/or (if appropriate) any other regulatory authorities as required by the laws, standards and system of the PRC being obtained; and (b) the Company not being required by any of its creditors to repay or to provide guarantees in respect of any amount due to any of them (or if the Company is so required by any of its creditors, the Company having, in its absolute discretion, repaid or provided guarantee in respect of such amount) pursuant to the notification procedure under Article 28 of the Articles. If the Company determines to repay any amount to any of its creditors in circumstances described under condition (b) above, it currently expects to do so out of its internal resources. If the above conditions are not fulfilled, the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercisable by the Directors.

The Repurchase Mandate would expire on the earlier of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the date on which the authority conferred by the special resolutions is revoked or varied by a special resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting or by a special resolution of holders of H Shares or holders of Domestic Shares at their respective class meetings.

Listing Rules requirements

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give to the Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at each of the AGM and the Class Meetings. An explanatory statement for such purpose is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION OF A FINAL CASH DIVIDEND FOR 2011

If the distribution of the proposed final cash dividend (which is RMB0.12 per share (pre-tax)) for the year ended 31 December 2011 is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, in order to ascertain the entitlements of the Shareholders to receive the proposed final cash dividend, the register of holders of H Shares will be closed from Saturday, 9 June 2012 to Thursday, 14 June 2012 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of H Shares will be effected. Holders of H Shares and Domestic Shares whose names appear on the registers of members of the Company on Thursday, 14 June 2012 are entitled to the proposed final cash dividend. Transfers of H Shares must be lodged with the Registrar at Shops 1712–1716, 17/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 8 June 2012 in order to entitle the transferee to receive the proposed final cash dividend.

Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of such resolutions at the AGM and/or the Class Meetings.

The Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be exercised when the Directors believe that such repurchases of H Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

The Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to and in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at such time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share. Such repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate.

REGISTERED CAPITAL

At as the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the Company was RMB2,926,209,589. The total number of the Company’s issued Shares was 2,926,209,589, comprising 1,993,647,589 Domestic Shares and 932,562,000 H Shares.

EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Subject to the passing of the special resolution numbered 9 set out in the notice of the AGM and the special resolution numbered 1 set out in the notice of the Class Meetings respectively, the Repurchase Mandate will be conditionally granted to the Directors until the end of the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting following the passing of the said special resolutions; or (ii) the date on which the authority conferred by the special resolutions is revoked or varied by a special resolution of the Shareholders in any general meeting or by a special resolution of the holders of Domestic Shares or the holders of H Shares at their respective class meetings. The exercise of the Repurchase Mandate is subject to (a) the approvals of SASAC and SAFE (or their respective successor authorities) and/or (if appropriate) any other regulatory authorities as required by the laws, standards and system of the PRC being obtained and (b) the Company not being required by any of its creditors to repay or to provide guarantee in respect of any amount due to any of them (or if the Company is so required by any of its creditors, the Company having, in its absolute discretion, repaid or provided guarantee in respect of such amount) pursuant to the notification procedure under Article 28 of the Articles.

APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

The exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate (on the basis of 932,562,000 H Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming such number of H Shares would remain unchanged as at the date of the AGM and the Class Meetings) would result in up to 93,256,200 H Shares repurchased by the Company, being the maximum of 10% of the total H Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolutions.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Company is empowered by the Articles to repurchase the H Shares. Any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares to be repurchased, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company.

In repurchasing the H Shares, the Company intends to apply funds from the Company’s internal resources (which may include surplus funds and retained profits) legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared to the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company. The number of H Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regarded to the circumstances then prevailing, in the best interests of the Company.

STATUS OF REPURCHASED H SHARES

The Listing Rules provide that the listing of all the H Shares repurchased by the Company shall automatically be cancelled and the relevant share certificates shall be cancelled and destroyed. Under the PRC laws and the Articles, the H Shares repurchased by the Company will be cancelled and the Company’s registered capital will be reduced by an amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the H Shares so cancelled.

PREVIOUS REPURCHASE

No repurchase of H Shares has been made by the Company for the previous six months (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase H Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (if approved to be granted at the AGM and the Class Meetings), 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 (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, China TravelSky Holding Company (中國民航信息 集團公司), the largest substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) and a promoter of the Company, held 857,226,589 Domestic Shares, which represented approximately 29.29% of the total number of Shares in issue.

– 16 –

APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase H Shares in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of China TravelSky Holding Company in the registered capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 30.26%, and this will result in China TravelSky Holding Company and party acting in concert with it obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any other consequences which will arise under either or both of the Takeovers Code and any similar applicable laws as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate. Moreover, the Directors will not make share repurchase on the Stock Exchange if such repurchase would result in the requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules not being complied with.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent that it may result in a public shareholding of the H Shares to be less than 25%.

GENERAL

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 under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

None of the Directors and to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their associates presently intend to sell H Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved and the conditions to which the Repurchase Mandate is subject are fulfilled.

The Company has not been notified by any connected person of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any H Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any H Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and the conditions to which the Repurchase Mandate is subject are fulfilled.
