APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

PROVISIONS OF THE LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 960,000,000 Shares in issue.

The Repurchase Mandate will enable the Directors to repurchase the Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue on the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution at the AGM. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 96,000,000 Shares.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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

EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the most recent published audited accounts) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, 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 of the Company and its subsidiaries or the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company and its subsidiaries.

- 15 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

CONNECTED PERSONS

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

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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 laws of the Cayman Islands.

IMPLICATION UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC FLOAT

If, as a result of a shares repurchase, 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 Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within in the meaning of the Takeovers Code), may obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code as a result of any such increase.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar the Directors are aware of, the controlling shareholders owned 391,200,000 Shares, representing 40.75% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full, the interest of controlling shareholders in the Company will be increased to approximately 45.28% which will give rise to obligation on the controlling shareholders to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code as a result of the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not presently aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that will result in the number of Shares in hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
