The number of Directors to retire on each occasion shall be determined by reference to the composition of the Board at the date of the notice convening the relevant annual general meeting and no Director shall be required to retire by rotation pursuant to this Article or be relieved from retiring by reason of a change in the number of Directors after the date of such notice but before the close of the relevant annual general meeting. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which the Director retires.”
       
  (c) By deleting the existing Article 101B in its entirety and renumbering the existing Article 101C as 101B.”

Dear Sir or Madam,

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES,
AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES
AND
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

INTRODUCTION

     At the AGM, the Notice of which is set out on pages 17 to 21 of this circular, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to grant the Directors the general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares and also a special resolution will be proposed to amend the Articles.

— 3 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

  Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM relating to general mandates:
     
  (i) authorizing the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares (and securities convertible into Shares) with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20 percent of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution;
 
  (ii) authorizing the Directors to repurchase Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10 percent of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution; and
 
  (iii) authorizing the addition to the mandate to issue new Shares (referred to at (i) above) those Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the repurchase mandate (referred to at (ii) above).

     In accordance with the Listing Rules, and in particular the rules regulating repurchase of securities on the Stock Exchange, the Company is required to send to Shareholders an explanatory statement containing information reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the purchase by the Company of its Shares. This explanatory statement is set out in Appendix 1 of this circular.

AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES

     A special resolution will be proposed at the AGM to amend the Articles in order to reflect the new Code on Corporate Governance Practices (the “Code”) which replaced the Code of Best Practice in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules. The Code, subject to certain transitional arrangements, took effect on January 1, 2005. Certain minor housekeeping amendments to the Articles of Association will also be proposed at the AGM.

     The proposed changes to the Articles are summarized in Appendix 2 of this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

     As part of the ordinary business to be conducted at the AGM, it is proposed that five Directors shall retire, and seek re-election, at the AGM.

     Particulars on each of the Retiring Directors are set out in Appendix 3 of this circular.

The return of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof) should you so desire.

APPENDIX 1 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

     The following is the Explanatory Statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed general mandate for repurchase of securities and also constitutes the Memorandum required under Section 49BA of the Companies Ordinance:

1.   LISTING RULES REQUIREMENT FOR REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

     The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities (which shall include, where the context permits, shares of all classes and securities which carry a right to subscribe or purchase shares, of a company or the Company, and shall include warrants) on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

(a) Shareholders’ approval

     All on-market securities repurchases on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transactions.

(b) Source of Funds

     Repurchases must be funded out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of Hong Kong.

2.   SHARE CAPITAL

     As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 6,732,191,321 Shares.

     Subject to the passing of Ordinary Resolution No. 6 set out in the Notice (the “Buy-back Mandate”), the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 673,219,132 Shares on the assumption that there will be no variation in the issued share capital of the Company during the period up to the date of the AGM.

3.   REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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

— 6 —
APPENDIX 1 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

4.   FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

     Repurchases pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchases will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purposes in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of Hong Kong.

     There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its latest published audited accounts) in the event that the Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an 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.

5.   SHARE PRICES

     The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months were as follows:

  Highest   Lowest
  HK$   HK$
         
April 2005   4.625   4.375
May 2005   4.900   4.575
June 2005   4.950   4.700
July 2005   5.300   4.825
August 2005   5.450   5.050
September 2005   5.250   4.800
October 2005   5.250   4.450
November 2005   5.100   4.675
December 2005   5.050   4.750
January 2006   5.300   4.750
February 2006   5.750   5.100
March 2006   5.450   5.050

6.   DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

     The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Hong Kong and in accordance with the regulations set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.

     The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of the exercise in full of the Buy-back Mandate.

— 7 —
APPENDIX 1 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

     None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), presently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Buy-back Mandate in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

     No other connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell any Shares, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

7.   SHARE PURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

     The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the date of this statement.

— 8 —
APPENDIX 2 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ARTICLES

     The full text of the proposed changes to the Articles is set out in resolution number 8 contained in the Notice. The background to the proposed amendments is set out below:

Article 92   A Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the next following general meeting, instead of the next following annual general meeting as provided in the existing Articles of Association.
     
Article 101A   Every director would be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.
     
Article 101B   To be deleted for the sake of consistency in light of the change to Article 101A.
