CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

GENERAL MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE
At the AGM, the Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate.
General Mandate
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate (i.e. the General Mandate) to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares or underlying Shares of the Company (other than by way of rights or pursuant to a share option scheme for employees of the Company or Directors and/or any of its subsidiaries or pursuant to any scrip dividend scheme or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of whole or part of the dividend on Shares in accordance with the Articles of Association) or make or grant offers, agreements, options and warrants which might require the exercise of such power, of an aggregate amount of up to 20% of the issued Shares as at the date of granting of the General Mandate.
In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will further be proposed for extending the General Mandate authorising the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Details on the Repurchase Mandate are further elaborated below.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an aggregate of 1,674,735,664 Shares in issue.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorising the proposed Repurchase Mandate.
This explanatory statement contains all information pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules which is set out as follows:
1. NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH MAY BE REPURCHASED
Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 1,674,735,664 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, would result in 167,473,566 Shares (representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution), being repurchased by the Company during the period prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.
2. REASONS FOR PROPOSED REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on GEM. 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. The Repurchase Mandate will only be exercised when the Directors believe that such purchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares.
3. SOURCE OF FUNDS
In repurchasing Shares, the Company will only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and the GEM Listing Rules. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount of capital paid in connection with a repurchase of Shares may only be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased in the manner provided for in the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company will not purchase the Shares on GEM 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.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
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 March 2012) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the Relevant Period. 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 the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquires, any of their respective associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.
6. DIRECTORS’ 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 Articles of Association, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. THE HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS
If, as a result of a repurchase of 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 the Takeovers Code.
As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within that term’s meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or 32 of the Takeovers Code.
– 9 –
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Company, the following Shareholder(s) is/are interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of such Shareholder(s) in the Shares would be increased to approximately the percentage set out in the last column as follows:
| Name of Shareholder(s) China Xinhua News Network Co., Limited 中國新華新聞電視網有限公司 Shunleetat (BVI) Limited Mr. Kan Kwok Cheung |
Note 1 1 2 2 |
Number of Shares 474,335,664(L) 474,335,664(L) 409,200,000(L) 409,200,000(L) |
Approximate percentage of shareholding 28.32% 28.32% 24.43% 24.43% |
Approximate percentage of shareholding if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31.47% 31.47% 27.14% 27.14% |
- (L) denotes long position
Notes:
-

-
Shunleetat (BVI) Limited is wholly and beneficially owned by Mr. Kan Kwok Cheung. Accordingly, Mr. Kan Kwok Cheung is deemed to be interested in 409,200,000 Shares held by Shunleetat (BVI) Limited.
On the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged up to date of the AGM, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the attributable shareholding of 中國新華新聞電視網有限公司 would be increased to approximately 31.47% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of any of the above Shareholder(s) or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
