–3– APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following explanatory statement provides the requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to grant a general and unconditional mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the relevant resolution No. 9A of the notice of the AGM.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which shares of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchases of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 828,831,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to purchase up to a maximum of 82,883,100 Shares which represents a 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing such resolution.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the grant of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Repurchases may, depending on the circumstances, result in an enhancement in the net assets and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking grant of a general mandate to repurchase Shares to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number(s) of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the financial position disclosed in its latest published audited accounts) in the event that the proposed Shares repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, repurchases must be made out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and any other applicable laws. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

–4– APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

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 or the gearing position of the Company unless the Directors consider that such purchases are in the best interest of the Company notwithstanding such material adverse impact.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which Shares traded on the Stock Exchange during the period from 29 April 2010 (the date on which the Shares commenced listing on the Stock Exchange), to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Price per Share Highest Lowest HK$ HK$

2010 April 4.13 3.51 May 4.04 2.63 June 3.12 2.60 July 3.71 2.77 August 3.63 3.26 September 3.44 3.00 October 4.46 3.05 November 5.68 4.06 December 6.60 5.48

2011 January 6.43 3.62 February 4.46 3.50 March (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 4.35 3.16

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS, TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

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

If, as a result of a share 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 Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Takeovers Code”). As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (depending on the level of increase of Shareholders’ interests), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

–5– APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the following Shareholders are interested in more than 5% of the Company’s issued share capital:

Wang Huiqing (Note 4) Long position Interests of spouse 50,114,000 6.04% 6.72%

Notes:

1. The entire issued share capital of Hopeland International Holdings Company Limited is beneficially owned by Lin Shengxiong who is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Hopeland International Holdings Company Limited pursuant to the Securities and Futures Ordinance (the “SFO”).

2. Lin Hongting is the spouse of Lin Shengxiong. Therefore, Lin Hongting is deemed to be interested in the Shares in which Lin Shengxiong is interested for the purposes of the SFO.

3. The entire issued share capital of Glory Bright Investments Enterprise Limited is beneficially owned by Lin Wanpeng who is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Glory Bright Investments Enterprise Limited pursuant to the SFO.

4. Wang Huiqing is the spouse of Lin Wanpeng. Therefore, Wang Huiqing is deemed to be interested in the Shares in which Lin Wanpeng is interested for the purposes of the SFO.

Save as disclosed above, no other interest or short position in the Shares and underlying Shares of the Company were recorded in the register required to be kept under section 336 of the SFO as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Based on the current holding of the above Shareholders, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not result in any of them becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

–6– APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

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

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company of a present intention to sell Shares to the Company and no such persons have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the general mandate is authorised by Shareholders. The Company will not repurchase Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by public being reduced to less than 25%.

7. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

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

8. GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will only exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
