(f) the entire credit amount arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction of approximately HK$700.31 million be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as revised) to then be applied to set off the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation or be applied by the board of Directors in a manner as permitted by the Bye-laws and all applicable laws of Bermuda from time to time without further authorisation from the shareholders of the Company;

(g) the Directors be and are hereby authorised to apply the amount standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account of the Company, if any, in such manner as they consider appropriate; and
