GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

The above general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the grant of the General Mandate to enable the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,000,000,000. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution, the maximum number of new Shares (assuming that there will be no change in the number of Shares in issue between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting) to be issued under the proposed General Mandate is 200,000,000.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such a company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such a company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a specific transaction.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 1,000,000,000 Shares in issue.
Subject to the passing of the resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate (resolution numbered 4(B) as set out in the notice convening the Annual General Meeting contained in this circular), and on the basis of 1,000,000,000 Shares in issue and assuming that no new Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 200,000,000 Shares.
3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Directors to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases must be paid out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles, the Companies Law and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Cayman Islands law, any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of profits or the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
On the basis of the current financial position of the Company and taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 December 2011, being the date to which the last audited accounts of the Company were made up. 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 the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the calendar months from 19 March 2012 (being the date on which the Shares first commenced dealings on the Stock Exchange) to the Latest Practicable Date:
| Highest | Lowest | |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| March 2012 | 1.44 | 1.19 |
| April 2012 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 1.30 | 1.08 |
7. EFFECT OF HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS 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 Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert 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, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Trigiant Investments Limited ( Note ) was the controlling Shareholder, holding 75.0% of the existing issued Shares.
- Note: Trigiant Investments Limited is owned as to 55.5% by Abraholme International Limited, which in turn is owned as to 80% by Mr. Qian Lirong and as to 20% by Ms. Wu Di.
The Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
– 8 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the period from 19 March 2012 (being the date on which the Shares first commenced dealings on the Stock Exchange) up to the Latest Practicable Date.
9. GENERAL
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the Annual General Meeting and is exercised.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
No connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
