LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

HTD

As one or more applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) for the Disposal exceed 5% but fall below 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for HTD under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and will be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

HTICI

As one or more applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) for the Acquisition, when aggregated with the Previous Acquisitions which were conducted within 12 months of the Acquisition, exceed 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of HTICI under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As at the date of this announcement, the Vendor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HTD and the Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of HTICI. HTD is an indirect controlling shareholder of HTICI and the Vendor is an associate of HTD, and the Vendor is therefore a connected person of HTICI under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition and the issue of the Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares constitute connected transactions of HTICI and therefore are subject to the announcement, reporting, circular and HTICI Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

HTD

As one or more applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) for the Disposal exceed 5% but fall below 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for the HTD under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and will be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

- 9 -

HTICI

As one or more applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) for the Acquisition, when aggregated with the Previous Acquisitions which were conducted within 12 months of the Acquisition, exceed 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of HTICI under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As at the date of this announcement, the Vendor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HTD and the Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of HTICI. HTD is an indirect controlling shareholder of HTICI and the Vendor is an associate of HTD, and the Vendor is therefore a connected person of HTICI under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition and the issue of the Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares constitute connected transactions of HTICI and therefore are subject to the announcement, reporting, circular and HTICI Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

HTD, which has a material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, and its associates will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) approving the Acquisition, the issue of the Convertible Notes and the grant of the Specific Mandate to issue the Conversion Shares.

Save as disclosed above, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the directors of HTICI, no other shareholder of HTICI has a material interest in the Acquisition and the issue of the Convertible Notes nor is required to abstain from voting at the HTICI EGM.

Mr. Fok Chi Tak, Dr. Zhiliang Ou and Mr. Lee Chi Hwa, Joshua who are also the directors of HTD, were abstained from voting at HTICI Board on the resolutions approving the Acquisition and the issue of the Convertible Notes and the Conversion Shares.
