2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

The Company is empowered by its Articles of Association to repurchase its Shares. In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE

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 audited financial statements contained in the Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, Mr. Shum Tin Ching and together with Mingyuan Investment, being the controlling shareholder of the Company, beneficially held 2,828,310,136 Shares representing approximately 69.74% of the issued share capital of the Company. Mingyuan Investment is indirectly wholly owned by Mr. Shum Tin Ching, the Chairman and non-executive Director of the Company. Therefore, Mr. Shum is deemed to be interested in Mingyuan Investment's interest in the Company by virtue of the SFO. Ms. Wang Xinmei, the spouse of Mr. Shum Tin Ching, is deemed to be interested in Mr. Shum's interest in the Company by virtue of the SFO.

In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholding of Mingyuan Investment in the Company would be increased to approximately 77.48% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate which may arise under the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent which will result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the minimum requirement of public float by the Stock Exchange.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
