APPENDIX II

GENERAL INFORMATION

The information set out below constitutes an explanatory statement for the purpose of Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules:

(1) SHARE CAPITAL

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate (on the basis of 1,167,797,200 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date would result in up to 116,779,720 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the Relevant Period (as defined in Resolution No. 5), assuming no Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of AGM.

(2) REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement in the value of the Shares and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

(3) FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and the Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws of the Company. Such funds may include profits available for distribution and the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchases.

The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

(5) HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company, a shareholder ’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “ Takeovers Code ”). Accordingly, a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company. The Directors are not aware of any such consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any exercise of the Repurchase Mandate. In the event that any exercise of the Repurchase Mandate would, to the knowledge of the Directors, have such a consequence, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would trigger a mandatory offer obligation for any shareholder or group of shareholders.

APPENDIX II

GENERAL INFORMATION

(6) MISCELLANEOUS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such Repurchase Mandate is approved by shareholders.

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

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

Assuming that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the share capital of the Company in issue will be reduced to 1,051,017,480 Shares (on the basis of 1,167,797,200 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date). The Company will not repurchase Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

The Company has not repurchased Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
