APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchases of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,304,846,293 Shares in issue.
Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution of granting in the Repurchase Mandate and on the bases that not new Share are issued and no Shares are repurchased for the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 130,484,629 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the shares are listed. Such repurchases 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 made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association, the Articles of Association, the Companies Law, other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. A listed company is prohibited from repurchasing its own 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 Companies Law, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
5. MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT IN THE EVENT OF REPURCHASE IN FULL
Taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, it might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 March 2012, being the date to which its latest published audited consolidated financial statements were made up. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position 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 during each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Highest | Lowest | |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2011 | ||
| June | – | – |
| July | – | – |
| August | – | – |
| September | – | – |
| October | – | – |
| November | – | – |
| December | – | – |
| 2012 | ||
| January | – | – |
| February | – | – |
| March | – | – |
| April | – | – |
| May | – | – |
| June (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | – | – |
Notes: Suspension of trading of Shares during the above periods
7. UNDERTAKING AND DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association.
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
– 7 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
8. CONNECTED PERSONS
No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell shares of the Company to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any shares of the Company held by him/she/it to the Company, in the event that the grant of Repurchase Mandate to the Directors is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
9. 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 securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes 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, the following Shareholders were interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue:
| Name | Number of Shares | Percentage holding |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic Result | 302,918,844 | 23.21% |
| Mr. TONG Kit Shing | 302,918,844 (Note) | 23.21% |
| Mr. LIU Guoyao | 302,918,844 (Note) | 23.21% |
Note: These Shares are registered in the name of and beneficially owned by Automatic Result, which is solely and beneficially owned by Mr. TONG Kit Shing whereas Mr. LIU Guoyao is the sole director of Automatic Result. Both Mr. TONG Kit Shing and Mr. LIU Guoyao are deemed to be interested in all the interest in Shares held by Automatic Result by virtue of the SFO.
In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of the above shareholders in the issued shares of the Company would be increased to:
| Name | Percentage holding |
|---|---|
| Automatic Result | 25.79% |
| Mr. TONG Kit Shing | 25.79% |
| Mr. LIU Guoyao | 25.79% |
On the basis of the current shareholding of Automatic Result, Mr. TONG Kit Shing and Mr. LIU Guoyao and parties acting in concert with them, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will result in them becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
– 8 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The Directors have no intention to exercise any of the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of Automatic Result, Mr. TONG Kit Shing and Mr. LIU Guoyao and parties acting in concert with them to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.
Accordingly, save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as consequences of any purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate. In addition, the Company may not repurchase shares of the Company which would result in the amount of shares of the Company held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
10. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
