CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED

The Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. GEM-listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website at www.hkgem.com in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

To the Shareholders, and for information only, the holders of Share Options

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES, REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT, RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to (a) present to the Shareholders information relating to the proposed grant of the General Mandates and the extension of the Issue Mandate to the Board, the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit, and the proposed reelection of Directors and the proposed amendments to the Bye-Laws in order to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the related

* For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

resolutions to be proposed at the AGM; and (b) provide the Shareholders with the notice convening the AGM at which the relevant resolutions will be proposed and the Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the proposed grant of the General Mandates and the extension of the Issue Mandate to the Board, the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit and the proposed re-election of Directors.

2. PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATES

At the AGM, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed:

  • (a) to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares up to 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution;

  • (b) to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution; and

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

The Directors believe that the granting of the Issue Mandate will provide flexibility and discretion to the Directors in the event that the Company becomes desirable to issue new Shares to raise capital to facilitate any expansion plan as the Directors consider appropriate, and it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to continue to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

An explanatory statement, required by the GEM Listing Rules, on the Repurchase Mandate is set out in appendix I to this circular. This contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution(s).

3. PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

Pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Schemes and any other scheme(s) of the Company at any time must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No options shall be granted under any schemes of the Company if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Share Options to be granted under the existing Share Option Schemes and any other scheme(s) of the Company shall not exceed the Scheme Mandate Limit, being 40,945,730 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue when the scheme mandate limit of Share Option Scheme C was last refreshed on 30 April 2007. In accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Scheme Mandate Limit can be refreshed by Shareholders in general meeting provided that the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue on the date of the Shareholders’ approval.

Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had granted Share Options, which had not been exercised, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for an aggregate of 3,382,000 Shares under Share Option Scheme C. The Company had granted Share Options under the Share Option Schemes which, if fully exercised by the holders as at the Latest Practicable Date, would require the Company to issue 4,774,000 Shares. Save for such outstanding Share Options, no other share options had been granted under the Share Option Schemes or any other schemes of the Company to the Directors, employees of the Group or such other eligible persons as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors have no present intention to grant any further Share Options under Share Option Schemes prior to the AGM.

Based on 2,047,286,540 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Scheme Mandate Limit will be re-set to 204,728,654 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM in which the refreshed limit is approved and the Company will be allowed to grant further options under Share Option Scheme C and any other schemes of the Company carrying the rights to subscribe for a maximum of 204,728,654 Shares or 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM. The total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Share Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Schemes and any other schemes of the Company will not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue.

The Directors consider that, in order to provide the Company with greater flexibility in granting options to eligible person(s) under Share Option Schemes, the Board decides to seek the approval of the Shareholders to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit so that the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all share options to be granted under Share Option Schemes and any other scheme(s) of the Company shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution at the AGM.

The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the AGM; and

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) the GEM Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares (representing a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM approving the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit) which fall to be issued upon the exercise of any options that may be granted under Share Option Scheme C and any other scheme(s) of the Company.

Application will be made by the Company to the GEM Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares (representing a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM approving the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit) which fall to be issued upon the exercise of any options that may be granted under Share Option Scheme C and any other scheme(s) of the Company under the refreshed limit.

4. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Bye-laws, Mr. Cheung Wai, Mr. Fong Chi Wah and Mr. Wang Ruiping will retire at the AGM and, being eligible, will each of them offer himself for reelection. Information on such Directors as required to be disclosed under the GEM Listing Rules is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

5. AGM

Notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular. A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the AGM is also enclosed.

Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Secretary of the Company at its principal place of business and head office in Hong Kong at Unit C, 21/F, Seabright Plaza, 9-23 Shell Street, North Point, Hong Kong as soon as possible, but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM (or any adjournment thereof). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof) in person if you so wish.

6. PROCEDURES FOR DEMANDING A POLL

Pursuant to article 70 of the Bye-Laws, at any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) demanded by:

  • (i) the chairman of the meeting; or

  • (ii) at least three Shareholders present in person or by a duly authorized corporate representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) any Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or by a duly authorized corporate representative or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all the Shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting; or

  • (iv) any Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or by a duly authorized corporate representative or by proxy and holding Shares conferring a right to vote at the meeting being Shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the Shares conferring that right.

7. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed grant of the General Mandates and the extension of the Issue Mandate to the Board, the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit, and the proposed re-election of Directors are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors therefore recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of all resolutions as set out in the Notice. The Directors intend to vote in favour of all of such resolutions in respect of their shareholdings in the Company, if any.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of SYSCAN Technology Holdings Limited Cheung Wai

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

I. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was 2,047,286,540 Shares pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by way of poll on 22 February 2008 at the Special General Meeting held on that day, a 1 to 4 rights issue of the Company’s share was offered to the qualifying shareholders of the Company.

As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 14 March 2008, the Rights Issue became unconditional on 12 March 2008 and the Rights Shares were fully subscribed for.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 204,728,654 fully paid-up Shares (representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM) during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-Laws or the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended) to be held; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting.

II. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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

III. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-Laws, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase of Shares would be derived from the capital paid up on the Shares being repurchased and from the distributable profits of the Company.

– 9 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts as at 31 December 2007) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were 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 would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact 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.

IV. SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries had purchased, sold or redeemed any of the listed Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

V. SHARE PRICES

The following table shows the highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on GEM in each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

VI. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the ByeLaws, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

VII. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares or other securities to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or undertaken not to do so, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

VIII. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as the result of a repurchase of the Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Cheung Wai, the Chairman and chief executive officer of the Company and the executive Director, held 843,112,045 Shares, representing approximately 41.48% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of Mr. Cheung Wai in the Company would be increased to approximately 45.76% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as is known to the Directors, no Shareholder may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full.
