GENERAL MANDATES

On 6 May 2011, ordinary resolutions were passed by the Shareholders giving general unconditional mandates to the Board to:

  • (1) allot, issue and deal with additional Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing this resolution on 6 May 2011;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This circular contains the explanatory statement set out in Appendix I as required under the Listing Rules to give all the information reasonably necessary to enable shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the granting of a mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase its own Shares.

REFRESHMENT OF SHARE OPTION SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The GEM Share Option Scheme adopted by the Company on 12 October 2001 was terminated, upon the listing of the shares of the Company being transferred from GEM to the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on 22 June 2010. The Board adopted a new share option scheme (‘‘Share Option Scheme’’) which is in compliance with the Listing Rules and obtained the approval of the shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules at the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on 12 August 2010.

Upon termination of the GEM Share Option Scheme, no further options may be offered thereunder. However, in respect of the outstanding options, the provisions of the GEM Share Option Scheme shall remain in force. The outstanding options granted under the GEM Share Option Scheme shall continue to be subject to the provision of the GEM Share Option Scheme.

Under the rules of the Share Option Scheme:

  • (i) the number of Shares subject to options that may be granted shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue at the date of the approval of the Share Option Scheme or of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit;

  • (ii) the Company may seek Shareholders’ approval to renew the Scheme Mandate Limit. However, the Scheme Mandate Limit to be refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the aforesaid Shareholders’ approval. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the schemes or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed. A circular must be sent to Shareholders in connection with the meeting at which their approval will be sought;

  • (iii) the Company may seek separate approval of the Shareholders in general meeting to grant options beyond the Scheme Mandate Limit to participants specifically identified by the Company before the aforesaid Shareholders’ meeting where such approval is sought; and

  • (iv) the overall limit on the number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other option scheme of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 6 May 2011, the Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed and approved by the then Shareholders such that the total number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme must not exceed 153,821,885 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 6 May 2011. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, options carrying the rights to subscribe for 153,820,000 Shares have been granted under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit, out of which 15,700,000 options were exercised, no options were lapsed and 138,120,000 options are outstanding. None of these options were cancelled. Accordingly, the Company is permitted to grant further options to subscribe for 1,885 Shares under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit, being approximately 0% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 184,170,000 outstanding options granted under the previous Scheme Mandate Limit and Existing Scheme Mandate Limit, representing approximately 10.85% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. None of the grantees has been granted with options which exceed the limit of 1% of the issued share capital of the Company in the 12 months period up to and including the respective dates of grant as set out in Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules.

The Directors consider that the Company should refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit so that the Company can have more flexibility to provide incentive to Participants by way of granting options to them. If the refreshment of the existing Scheme Mandate Limit is approved at the AGM, based on the 1,696,878,858 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no new Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Directors will be able to grant options to subscribe for up to a total of 169,687,885 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM. The number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of such maximum amount of options which may be granted after approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit plus the 184,170,000 options outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date will not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue.

The proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and the permission to deal in, such number of Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of AGM, which may fall to be allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme up to the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for granting the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the options granted under the Share Option Scheme up to the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

The Directors consider that the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole because it enables the Company to reward and motivate its employees and other selected Participants under the Share Option Scheme. The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in line with purpose of the Share

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

This is an explanatory statement given to all shareholders of the Company, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES

The Listing Rules contain provisions regulating the repurchase by companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange of their securities on the Stock Exchange, the following is a summary of certain provisions of the Listing Rules relating to repurchase of securities.

(a) Shareholders’ approval

All proposed repurchase of securities on the Stock Exchange by a company with primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of general mandate or by special approval of a particular transaction.

(b) Share capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprises 1,696,878,858 Shares of HK$0.01 each. Subject to the passing of the Resolution No. 6 set out in the notice of AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued nor repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 169,687,885 shares (being 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) during the period from the date of passing of the Resolution No. 6 as set out in the notice up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the articles of association of the Company or any applicable law to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

(c) Reasons for repurchases

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but they consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase and is beneficial to the Company when appropriate. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and its assets and/ or its earnings and/or its dividend per Share. 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 for the year ended 31 December 2011) in the event that the proposed repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate are to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors will 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 its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

– 11 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

(d) Source of Funds

Repurchase of the Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Company is empowered by its Memorandum and Articles to repurchase its Shares. The laws of the Cayman Islands state that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on redemption may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of the share premium of the Company. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the repurchased Shares will remain being part of the authorised but unissued share capital.

(e) Undertaking

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Company’s shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company. At the Latest Practicable Date, no connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has he/she undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Company’s Shareholders.

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 repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum and Articles of the Company and any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

(f) Effects of the Takeovers Code and minimum public float

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
