Notes:

 

1. Any member entitled to attend and vote at the above Meeting is entitled to appoint one or, if he is the holder of two or more shares, more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote in his stead. A proxy need not be a member of the Company.

 

2. In order to be valid, a form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a notarially certified copy thereof, must be deposited at the Company’s registered office at 60/F, The Center, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong at least 36 hours before the time for holding the above Meeting. Completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude a member from attending and voting in person if he is subsequently able to be present.

 

3. A poll shall be taken at such time (being not later than thirty days after the date of the demand) and in such manner as the chairman of the above Meeting may appoint. On a poll, every member present at the meeting shall be entitled to one vote for every fully paid-up share of which he is the holder. The result of such poll shall be deemed for all purposes to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was so directed or demanded.

 

4. The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of HK$1.458 per share for the year ended 31 December 2009 and, if such dividend is declared by the members passing Resolution 2, it is expected to be paid on or about 28 May 2010 to those shareholders whose names appear on the Company’s register of members on 12 May 2010. Shareholders should read the announcement issued by the Company on 19 March 2010 regarding the closure of register of members and the withholding and payment of enterprise income tax for non-resident enterprises in respect of the proposed final dividend.

 

5. The register of members of the Company will be closed from 10 May 2010 to 12 May 2010 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of shares in the Company will be effected. In order to qualify for the proposed final dividend, all transfers, accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Company’s share registrar, Hong Kong Registrars Limited, Shops 1712–1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on 7 May 2010.

 

6. Concerning Resolution 5 above, the Directors wish to state that they will exercise the powers conferred thereby to repurchase shares of the Company in circumstances which they deem appropriate for the benefit of the shareholders. The Explanatory Statement containing the information necessary to enable the shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the repurchase by the Company of its own shares, as required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited will be set out in a separate letter from the Company to be enclosed with the 2009 Annual Report.

As at the date of this announcement, the Board of Directors of the Company comprises Mr. Wang Jianzhou, Mr. Li Yue, Mr. Lu Xiangdong, Mr. Xue Taohai, Madam Huang Wenlin, Mr. Sha Yuejia, Mr. Liu Aili, Madam Xin Fanfei and Mr. Xu Long as executive directors, Dr. Lo Ka Shui, Mr. Frank Wong Kwong Shing and Dr. Moses Cheng Mo Chi as independent non-executive directors and Mr. Nicholas Jonathan Read as a non-executive director.
