Pursuant to the NWCB Rights Issue, the Qualifying NWCB Shareholders will be provisionally allotted one NWCB Rights Share in nil-paid form for every two existing NWCB Shares held on the Record Date. The NWCB Rights Shares will not be allotted to the Overseas NWCB Shareholders. The NWCB Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Underwriters other than the NWCB Rights Shares undertaken to be taken up by the Company.
Depending on the amount of the Underwritten Shares to be subscribed for by the Company, the entering into of the Underwriting Agreement and the giving of the ALT Undertaking by the Company may together constitute a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

-
(3) any material breach by NWCB of its obligations, warranties or undertakings contained in the Underwriting Agreement or any event which would render the warranties in the Underwriting Agreement untrue or inaccurate in material respect comes to the knowledge of any of the Underwriters,
