Dear Sir or Madam,

GENERAL MANDATES TO REPURCHASE AND ISSUE SHARES, RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding certain ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against those resolutions.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

The resolution set out in item 4 of the notice of the AGM, if passed, will give the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Company’s issued share capital (the “ Repurchase Mandate ”) before the Company’s next annual general meeting. A statement explaining the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

At the AGM, resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of the AGM will be proposed which, if passed, will give the Directors a general mandate to issue new Shares representing up to (i) 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Company’s issued share capital at the date of passing the resolutions, (based on the number of issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, the mandate would give the Directors to issue 81,216,965 Shares) and (ii) the nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company subsequent to the passing of such resolutions (the “ Issue Mandate ”).

The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will continue to be in force from the passing of the said resolutions until whichever the following first occurs:

  • (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or

  • (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Companies Ordinance to be held; or

  • (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under such ordinary resolutions by an ordinary resolution or ordinary resolutions of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting.

With respect to the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors confirm that they have no current intention of exercising them.

3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of nine Directors, including six Executive Directors, namely, Mr. Ha Shu Tong (Chief Executive Officer), Mr. Chau King Fai, Philip, Mr. Cheng Tze Kit, Larry (Chief Investment Officer), Ms. So Wai Yee, Betty (Chief Financial Officer), Mr. Zhou Wentao and Mr. Tin Ka Pak, Timmy; and three Independent Non-executive Directors, namely, Mr. Lam Kwok Hing, Wilfred, Mr. Ip Chun Chung, Robert and Mr. Wong Chung Kin, Quentin.

Pursuant to Article 101 of the Articles of Association, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to, but not less than, one-third, shall retire from office. The Directors to retire every year shall be those who have been longest in office since their last election. In accordance with this provision, Mr. Chau King Fai, Philip, Ms. So Wai Yee, Betty, Mr. Zhou Wentao and Mr. Lam Kwok Hing, Wilfred shall retire at the AGM. However, due to other business engagements which require more his attention, Mr. Lam Kwok Hing, Wilfred does not seek for re-election. Accordingly, Mr. Chau King Fai, Philip, Ms. So Wai Yee, Betty and Mr. Zhou Wentao, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Brief biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed for re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix II of this circular.

4. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Appendix III on pages 13 to 17 of this circular contains the AGM Notice, which specifies resolutions to be proposed to the Shareholders as ordinary business (being adoption of the audited financial statements and the directors’ and auditor’s reports of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, re-election of Directors, fixing of remuneration of Directors and re-appointment of auditor and fixing of their remuneration) and as special business (being grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate and extension of the Issue Mandate). Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll and results of the poll must be announced. The chairman of the meeting will at the AGM demand, pursuant to Article 73 of the Articles of Association, poll voting on all resolutions set out in the notice of the AGM. Consequently, all the resolutions proposed at the AGM would be voted upon by the Shareholders by poll.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the registered office of the Company at 28th Floor, The Centrium, 60 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the AGM. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM should you so wish.

No Shareholder has any material interests in the proposed adoption of the audited financial statements and the directors’ and auditor’s reports of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012; the re-election of Directors; the fixing of remuneration of Directors and re-appointment and fixing of remuneration of auditor; and the grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate. Accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the AGM in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

5. RECOMMENDATION

The Board believes that the re-election of retiring Directors, granting of Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate and extension of Issue Mandate as set out in the notice of the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate and also constitutes the memorandum required under section 49BA of the Companies Ordinance.

1. THE LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase its securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

  • (a) The shares to be repurchased by a company must be fully paid-up.

  • (b) The company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules.

  • (c) All on-mark repurchase of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the Company to make such repurchase, and a copy of such resolution together with the necessary documentation have been delivered to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 406,084,829 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 40,608,482 Shares (representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Company’s issued share capital at the date of passing the resolution).

3. REASON FOR PURCHASE

The Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and its shareholders. Trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile in recent years and if there are occasions in future when depressed market conditions arise, repurchases of Shares may support the share prices and lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share. It will then be beneficial to those shareholders who retain their investment in the Company since their percentage interest in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of Shares repurchased by the Company.

7

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchase would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Companies Ordinance and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

The Companies Ordinance provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid from the distributable profits of the company or from the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose. The Companies Ordinance further provides that the amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of the distributable profits of the company. Where the repurchased shares were issued at a premium, any premium payable on repurchase may be paid out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purposes of the share repurchase up to certain limits specified by the Companies Ordinance.

There might be 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 for the year ended 31 December 2012) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. 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 requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

The following table shows the highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date:

Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2012
April 1.22 0.99
May 1.20 1.00
June 1.11 0.89
July 1.05 0.85

September 1.24 0.92

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

6. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a share repurchase, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the term under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s or Shareholder group’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has two substantial Shareholders: (i) Mr. Hu Guoen (“ Mr. Hu ”), holding 24,480,000 Shares, representing approximately 6.03% of the total issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) China Investment Fund Company Limited (“ China Investment Fund ”), holding 33,904,000 Shares, representing approximately 8.35% of the total issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased and in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and that there is no change in the number of shares held by Mr. Hu and China Investment Fund, the shareholdings of Mr. Hu and China Investment Fund would be increased to approximately 6.70% and 9.28% of the issued share capital of the Company respectively, on exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate. Therefore, no obligation to make a general offer to Shareholders under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code would arise.

7. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the date of this circular. The Company will not purchase its Shares if less than 25% of its issued share capital is held by the public.

8. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.

No connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

9. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Companies Ordinance and the regulations set out in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.
