UPDATE ON RESUMPTION OF TRADING

This announcement is made by the board of directors (the “ Board ”) of Birmingham International Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”), pursuant to Rule 13.24A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange (the “ Stock Exchange ”) of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”).

Reference is made to the Company’s announcements dated 19 August 2013 and 21 October 2013 regarding updates on the resumption (the “ Resumption ”) of trading in the Company’s shares (the “ Shares ”). The Board wishes to further update the shareholders of the Company and potential investors on matters relating to the Resumption.

The Company announces that the draft audited results for Birmingham City Football Club Plc (“ BCFC ”) for the year ended 30 June 2013 have been finalised and the consolidated results for Birmingham City Plc (the holding company of BCFC) for the year ended 30 June 2013 are being prepared. As announced on 28 October 2013, the Company expects to be able to announce the results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013 no later than 29 November 2013. Meanwhile, the despatch of the annual report of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013 will be delayed to no later than 15 December 2013.

The Company is in the late stages of discussions with third parties regarding possible fund raising exercises by way of debt and equity. Such is expected to address the Group’s liquidity issues. Furthermore, a restructuring of the Group’s debts is being considered. Given current negotiations and subject to agreement on the terms and conditions, it is contemplated that signing of the relevant documents will take place by 15 November 2013. As the financing transactions and debt restructuring transactions are expected to require independent shareholders’ approval, on the basis that signing of all documents will take place by 15 November 2013, a general meeting to approve all relevant transactions is expected to be held in early January 2014. On that basis, bearing unforeseen

circumstances, resumption of trading in the Shares may take place by the end of 2013 or early 2014. The above is an expected timeframe and for reference only. Further announcements are expected to be made in due course, as and when applicable.

The Company wishes to reiterate that Mr. Yeung Ka Sing, Carson (“ Mr. Yeung ”) has informed the Board that he will voluntarily suspend his management duties within the Group on or before Resumption and at least until Mr. Yeung’s criminal case has come to him to a favourable close or upon Mr. Yeung’s resignation, whichever is earlier.
