— 3 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of Shareholders held on 7 June 2013, general mandates were given to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase shares of the Company and to issue new shares of the Company respectively. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, unless renewed at that meeting.

In order to ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable to make repurchases or issue any additional shares of the Company, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

  • (a) to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of an aggregate number of up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue on the date of passing of such resolution (the “Repurchase Mandate”);

  • (b) to allot, issue or deal with Shares of an aggregate number of up to 20% of the total number of Shares in issue on the date of passing of such resolution (the “Issue Mandate”); and

  • (c) to extend the Issue Mandate by an aggregate number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 459,428,656 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution numbered 6(B) set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorised under the Issue Mandate to allot, issue or deal with a maximum of 91,885,731 Shares (representing 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) during the period in which the Issue Mandate remains in force.

The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the Annual General Meeting or any earlier date as referred to in ordinary resolutions numbered 6(A) and 6(B) set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting. With reference to the Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase or issue any Shares pursuant thereto.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Articles 94 and 95 of the Articles of Association of the Company, Messrs Weng Ruo Tong, So Hop Shing and Li Jin Hua are due to retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election.

Pursuant to Article 85 of the Articles of Association of the Company, Mr Liu Cheng, who was appointed as Director on 8 June 2013, will retire at the Annual General Meeting following his appointment and, being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.

The re-election of Directors has been reviewed by the Nomination Committee which made recommendations to the Board that the re-election be proposed for shareholders’ approval at the Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee has also assessed the independence of all the Company’s Independent Non-executive Directors, in particular, Mr So Hop Shing who has served the Board for more than nine years and to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting. All the Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company satisfy the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

Mr So Hop Shing has been appointed as an Independent Non-executive Director of the Company since 2004. He met the independent guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and has provided an annual confirmation of his independence to the Company. Having considered the factors affecting the independence of a non-executive director under the Listing Rules, the Board is satisfied that Mr So remains independent. The Board is of the view that Mr So should be proposed for re-election particularly in view of his extensive experience and valuable contribution to the Board in the past years.

Details of the above Directors proposed for re-election are set out in the Appendix II to this circular.

4. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 13 to 16 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to be present at the Annual General Meeting, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy and return it to the Company’s registered office in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding that meeting. The lodging of the enclosed form of proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting if they so wish.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

5. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all the resolutions set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting will be decided by poll. The chairman of the Annual General Meeting will demand, pursuant to Article 65 of the Articles of Association, that all the resolutions set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting be decided by poll.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS

The Directors consider that the resolutions in relation to the re-election of the retiring Directors, the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and the granting and extension of the Issue Mandate as set out in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting are all in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate:

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 459,428,656 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 6 set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 45,942,865 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its articles of association and the Companies Ordinance. The Directors propose that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate will be financed from distributable profits of the Company or proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose.

There may be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2013) in the event that the proposed repurchases of Shares are to be carried out 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 will, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

4. UNDERTAKING

There are no Directors or (to the best of the knowledge of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries) any associates of the Directors who have a present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Companies Ordinance.

No connected persons of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified it of a present intention to sell Shares to the Company and no such persons have undertaken not to sell any such Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by Shareholders.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

The Company has been notified of holdings of Shares by Samba Limited (“Samba”) and Vigour Fine Company Limited (“Vigour Fine”), which in aggregate amounted to 48.01 per cent. of the total number of Shares in issue, as at the date of this circular. Assuming none of the Shares held by Samba and Vigour Fine are disposed of, and the total number of Shares in issue remains the same, exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would increase the proportionate interest in the Company of Samba and Vigour Fine by about 5.33 per cent. to 53.34 per cent. and they may become obliged to make a mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code unless a waiver is obtained. Subject to market conditions, the Directors do not presently envisage exercising the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would trigger a mandatory general offer obligation by Samba and Vigour Fine.

6. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchases have been made by the Company of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
