In view of the over-subscription for the Rights Shares, the Board has resolved to allot a total of 126,717,293 Rights Shares available for application under the EAFs and to allocate such Rights Shares on a fair and equitable basis on the principles set forth in the Prospectus, namely:
- (i) 876,371 excess Rights Shares have been allocated to 49 valid applications for topping up odd-lot holdings to new whole-lot holdings, which, in the Directors’ view, are not made with the intention to abuse this mechanism; and
– 2 –
- (ii) the remaining 125,840,922 excess Rights Shares have been allocated to the Qualifying Shareholders based on a sliding scale with reference to the number of the excess Rights Shares applied by them and with board lot allocations to be made on a best effort basis.
Based on the above, the available Rights Shares are allocated to the successful applicants in the following manner:
| Number of excess Rights Shares applied for 1 to 19,999 20,000 to 4,999,990 53,999,999 308,587,500 Total |

Total number of excess Rights Shares applied for 876,371 42,749,673 53,999,999 308,587,500 406,213,543 |
Total number of excess Rights Shares allotted Approximate percentage of allocation based on the total number of excess Rights Shares applied for in this category Basis of allotment 876,371 100.00% Allot odd Shares applied for in full 15,729,673 36.79% Allot odd Shares applied for in full plus 30.40% of the remaining excess Rights Shares applied for (rounded up to the nearest board lot) 16,419,999 30.41% Allot odd Shares applied for in full plus 30.37% of the remaining excess Rights Shares applied for (rounded up to the nearest board lot) 93,691,250 30.36% Allot approximately 30.36% of the excess Rights Shares applied for 126,717,293 |

The board lot size of the Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will be changed from 4,000 Shares to 20,000 Shares with effect from 9: 00 a.m. on Tuesday, 30 July 2013. To alleviate the difficulties in trading odd lots of the Shares arising from the change in board lot size of the Shares, the Company has appointed Halcyon Securities Limited as an agent to provide matching services on a best effort basis to the Shareholders who wish to top up or sell their holdings of odd lots of the Shares during the period from Tuesday, 30 July 2013 to Monday, 19 August 2013 (both days inclusive). Holders of the Shares in odd lots represented by the existing share certificates for the Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Shares or to top up their odd lots to a full new board lot may directly or through their broker contact Mr. Gilbert Lam of Halcyon Securities Limited at 11th Floor, 8 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong (telephone: (852) 3970 0990 and facsimile: (852) 3970 0998) during such period.

Holders of the Shares in odd lots should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Shares is not guaranteed. The Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the above facility.
All existing share certificates in board lot of 4,000 Shares will continue to be evidence of entitlement to the Shares and be valid for delivery, transfer, trading and settlement purposes. No new share certificates for existing Shareholders will be issued as a result of the change in board lot size, and therefore no parallel trading of the Shares and no arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates in board lot size of 4,000 Shares to new share certificates in board lot size of 20,000 Shares are necessary. With effect from Tuesday, 30 July 2013, any new certificate of the Shares will be issued in new board lot size of 20,000 Shares (except for odd lots or where the Shareholder(s) otherwise instruct(s)). Save and except for the change in the number of Shares for each board lot, new certificates of the Shares will have the same format and colour (which is green) as the existing certificates of the Shares.
