Neither the Offeror nor any parties acting in concert with it has tendered any acceptances of the Partial Offer, the Option Offer or the Warrant Offer.

Save as aforementioned, no other Shares, outstanding options, derivatives, warrants or securities which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares will be held, controlled or directed by the Offeror or parties acting in concert with it immediately upon completion of the Partial Offer, the Option Offer and the Warrant Offer.

BASIS OF ACCEPTING SHAREHOLDERS’ AND ACCEPTING WARRANTHOLDERS’ PRO RATA ENTITLEMENT

Partial Offer

In accordance with the formula set out in the Composite Offer Document, the total number of Offer Shares taken up by the Offeror from each Accepting Shareholder will be determined as follows:

A

x C

B

  • A: 224,890,025 Offer Shares (being the total number of Offer Shares for which the Partial Offer is made)

  • B: 420,122,096 Offer Shares (being the total number of Offer Shares tendered for acceptances by all the Qualifying Shareholders under the Partial Offer)

  • C: Number of Offer Shares tendered by the relevant individual Accepting Shareholder under the Partial Offer

6

Warrant Offer

As valid acceptance of the Warrant Offer by the Qualifying Warrantholders had been received in respect of Bonus Warrants entitling holders thereof to subscribe for 14,621,796 new Shares, which is less than the number intended to be acquired by the Offeror pursuant to the Warrant Offer, all Bonus Warrants validly accepted will be taken up.

Fractions of Offer Shares will not be taken up under the Partial Offer, accordingly, the number of Shares that the Offeror will take up from each Accepting Shareholder in accordance with the above formula will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number at the discretion of the Offeror.

The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 4,000 Shares. Such board lot size will not be changed as a result of the implementation of the Partial Offer. According to the above formula, an Accepting Shareholder may, as a result of the Partial Offer, hold odd lots of the Shares. For this purpose, Kim Eng Securities (Hong Kong) Limited, whose address is at Level 30, Three Pacific Place, 1 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong (Contact person: Ms. Rose Mak/Ms. Marian Lam; telephone number: (852) 2268 0395/2268 0398 during office hours) has been appointed by the Offeror as the designated broker to match sales and purchases of odd lot holdings of Shares in the market, on a best effort basis, for a period of six weeks from the Closing Date to enable Accepting Shareholders to dispose of their odd lots or to top up their odd lots to whole board lots of 4,000 Shares. Shareholders should note that the matching of odd lots is not guaranteed.
