Holders of record of ordinary shares of the Company at the close of business on February 16, 2009, Hong Kong time, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the EGM or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The EGM will discuss and seek adoption of the following resolutions to be proposed by the Company:

2 Proposal No. 2 – Amendment of the Section 5.1(a) of the Share Incentive Plan by adding the following paragraph “; provided, however, that no Option may be granted to an individual subject to taxation in the United State at less than the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. The exercise price per Share subject to an Option may be adjusted in the absolute discretion of the Committee, the determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law or any exchange rule, a repricing of Options mentioned in the preceding sentence shall be effective without the approval of the Company’s shareholders or the approval of the Participants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exercise price per Share subject to an Option shall not be increased without the approval of the Participants.”

 

3 Proposal No. 3 – Amendment of the Section 9.3 of the Share Incentive Plan by adding the following paragraph: “(j) Reduce the exercise price per Share subject to an Option;”
