LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE 10% GENERAL LIMIT ON GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS
UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
As at 28 February 2002, being the date on which the Share Option Scheme was being adopted and the 1997 Share Option Scheme was being terminated, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Share Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme was 893,876,600 Shares, being 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue on such date.
At the special general meeting of the Company held on 7 March 2007, a special resolution has been passed by the Shareholders to approve the Capital Reorganisation. Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective on 8 March 2007, the number of Shares subject to the outstanding Share Options and the general limit on the grant of Share Options has been adjusted to 21,250,000 Shares and As at 2 June 2009, being the date of the last refreshment of the scheme mandate limit of the Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Share Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme was 202,667,390 Shares, being 10% of the Shares in issue on the date of the last refreshment of the scheme mandate limit of the Share Option Scheme. On 18 September 2009 and on 18 May 2010, 84,450,000 Share Options and 25,960,000 Share Options have been granted respectively under the last refreshed scheme mandate limit.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE
REPURCHASE MANDATE
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules, to provide the requisition information to you for consideration of the Repurchase Mandate. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 2,036,673,905 Shares in issue or an issued share capital of HK$203,667,390.50. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 109,610,000 outstanding Share Options under the Share Option Scheme and 290,000,000 outstanding unlisted Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no outstanding Share Options and unlisted warrants are exercised and no further Shares are issued, allotted or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would result in up to a maximum of 203,667,390 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the total number of Shares in issue and a share capital of HK$20,366,739, being repurchased by the Company during the period ending on the earlier of (1) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (2) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law; or (3) the date upon which the Repurchase Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of REASONS FOR SHARES REPURCHASES
Although the Directors have no present intention of exercising the Repurchase Mandate, they believe that the flexibility offered by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders. At any time in the future when the Shares are trading at a discount to their underlying value, the ability of the Company to repurchase the Shares will be beneficial to the Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company as their proportionate interest in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of Shares repurchased by the Company from time to time and thereby resulting in an increase in net asset and/or earnings per Share. Such repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE
REPURCHASE MANDATE
FUNDING OF SHARES REPURCHASES
The Directors propose that the repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate would be financed by the Company’s internal resources.
In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the company that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a new issue of the shares made for the purpose of the redemption. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase of the Shares would be derived from the capital paid up on the Shares being repurchased and from the distributable profits of the Company.
The exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing level of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its latest published audited accounts as at 31 December 2009).
SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows: Price per Share (Note)
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE
REPURCHASE MANDATE
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 Listing Rules and the applicable To the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their respective associates has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.
No connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
TAKEOVERS CODE
If, as a result of shares repurchase made by the Company, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, the Shareholder, or a group of the Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interests, may 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 at the Latest Practicable Date, the substantial Shareholders, together with their respective associates, were interested in an aggregate of 1,376,392,592 Shares, representing approximately 67.58% of the issued share capital of the Company (and 75.09% of the issued share capital of the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full). To the best of their knowledge and belief, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.
Assuming that there is no further issue of the Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of repurchase of the Shares made by the Company, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will result in the number of the Shares held by the public falling below 25% as required by Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent as may result in a public shareholding falling below such prescribed percentage.
SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
