For the purpose of the Open Offer, the expected key dates are set out in the following:

The latest timetable for the Open Offer has been set out in the Company's announcement dated 16 December 2014 and item 1 in FAQ for the Open Offer as set out above. Dates or times specified in the latest timetable are indicative only and may be varied by agreement between the Company and the Underwriters.

Any consequential changes to the latest expected timetable will be published by the Company by way of announcement on the HKExnews website and Company's own website.

In order to participate in the Open Offer, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date (8 January 2015).

You also need to ascertain whether you are a "Qualifying Shareholder". If, at the close of business on the Record Date, your address on the register of members of the Company is in an excluded overseas jurisdiction or at that time you are known by the Company to be resident in an excluded jurisdiction, you will NOT be eligible to take part in the Open Offer.

The Prospectus (which is expected to be despatched on 9 January 2015) will also set out the overseas jurisdictions which will be excluded from the Open Offer and the basis thereof. The Company will only exclude jurisdictions to which the Company considers it unnecessary or inexpedient to extend the Open Offer, on account either of legal restrictions under the laws of relevant place or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that jurisdiction. The Shareholders in those jurisdictions will not be "Qualifying Shareholders" and cannot participate in the Open Offer, and they will not be compensated by the Company. Also, you will only receive the Prospectus (if permitted under relevant laws) for information only but you will not receive the AF and the EAF.

If you are a "Qualifying Shareholder" and hold your Shares as a registered member on the Record Date, you will receive the Prospectus, the AF and EAF by ordinary post from the Company's Hong Kong Share Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited ("Computershare") (expected to be on 9 January 2015).

If you are a "Qualifying Shareholder" and own interest in the Shares through a CCASS clearing participant, nominee, custodian or other intermediary or as an investor participant, please contact with the relevant CCASS participant or intermediary for the details of arrangements that may affect your rights and interests. In such circumstance, you will not receive any AF and EAF for completion.

It is not necessarily so.

Some overseas jurisdictions may not be excluded. The Prospectus (which is expected to be despatched on 9 January 2015) will set out the overseas jurisdictions that will be excluded from participating in the Open Offer and the basis thereof. Please refer to the Prospectus for details.

The CCASS participant may not forward to you the Prospectus if you are not a Qualifying Shareholder or if forwarding the Prospectus to you is not permitted by the relevant laws.

Even if you obtain the Prospectus by any other means, you should not participate in the Open Offer. Please seek professional advice from your licensed securities dealer or registered institution in securities, bank manager, solicitor, certified public accountant or other professional advisers if you are in doubt of your liabilities or any aspect of the Open Offer or the action to be taken.

Under the Open Offer, you can consider the following options:-

a. subscribe for new Ordinary Shares at the subscription price of HK$2.60 per Share on the basis of 5 new Ordinary Shares for every 12 existing Ordinary Shares held by you; OR

b. apply for Convertible Securities on the basis of 5 Convertible Securities for every 12 existing Ordinary Shares held by you. Each of the Convertible Securities can be converted into one Ordinary Share at the initial conversion price of HK$2.60; OR

c. partly in the form of new Ordinary Shares and partly in the form of Convertible Securities in accordance with your own proportional allocation.

If you hold the Shares as a registered member, after you receive the Prospectus, AF and the EAF, you may subscribe for your assured entitlement of Offer Securities (with the maximum no. of Offer Securities as shown in AF) by completing the AF and lodging the completed AF with a sufficient amount of remittance in accordance with the relevant instructions printed thereon. You may also apply for excess Offer Securities by completing the EAF and lodging the completed EAF with the sufficient amount of remittance for such excess Offer Securities in accordance with the relevant instructions printed thereon. But you must do so within the offer period which is not later than 4:00 p.m. on 23 January 2015 according to the latest expected timetable.

If you own interest in the Shares as a CCASS investor participant, or if you own interest in the Shares through a CCASS clearing participant, nominee or any other type of intermediary, you should contact the relevant CCASS participant or intermediary for the timing and procedures of making applications. The last day for you to take up the Open Offer may be earlier than 23 January 2015 because the relevant CCASS participant or intermediary may set an earlier deadline for acceptance for logistical reasons.

The Company will allocate to each Qualifying Shareholder his assured entitlement on the basis of 5 Offer Securities for every 12 existing Ordinary Shares held or owned by that Qualifying Shareholder on the Record Date.

The assured entitlement of each of the Qualifying Shareholders who is a registered member of the Company will be set out in the AFs. Qualifying Shareholder will have the right to apply for Offer Securities in excess of his own assured entitlement by making excess applications but is not assured of being allocated any excess Offer Securities.

If you are a Qualifying Shareholder but own interest in the Shares as a CCASS investor participant, or through a CCASS clearing participant, nominee or any other type of intermediary, you should contact the relevant CCASS participant or intermediary for your assured entitlement. You may also make excess applications but you have to check with the CCASS participant or intermediary for the timing and procedures to do so.

The Directors of the Company will allocate the excess applications at their discretion, but on a fair and equitable basis, to Qualifying Shareholders who have applied for excess Offer Securities, based on a pro-rata basis with reference to the amount of excess Offer Securities applied for by the Qualifying Shareholders who made excess applications. For the avoidance of doubt, the allocation of the Offer Securities in excess of assured entitlement will not be based on the number of the Shares held or owned by the relevant Qualifying Shareholders.

No. The allocation of excess Offer Securities will be based on a pro-rata basis with reference to the amount of excess Offer Securities applied for by the relevant Qualifying Shareholders. There will be no top-up arrangement.

Partial subscription will be accepted. A Qualifying Shareholder who wishes to subscribe for only part of his assured entitlement may indicate in the AF (or, where he owns interest in the Shares through a CCASS clearing participant, nominee, custodian or other intermediary or as an investor participant, indicate to the relevant CCASS participant or intermediary) the number of Offer Securities (in the form of shares or Offer Securities, or a combination of both) he wishes to subscribe for. Sufficient remittance should be made according to such number of Offer Securities he has applied for. No splitting of AF is required.

No, but your assured entitlement will be disregarded and you will not get any compensation from the Company. Please note that your shareholding in the Company will be diluted accordingly if the other Qualifying Shareholders take up their assured entitlements or apply for the excess Offer Securities (in the form of new Ordinary Shares or upon conversion of the Convertible Securities they apply for).

No, but your assured entitlement will be disregarded and you will not get any compensation from the Company. Please note that your shareholding in the Company will be diluted accordingly if the other Qualifying Shareholders take up their assured entitlement or apply for the excess Offer Securities.

The Company will not arrange margin financing. Please check with your own broker, bank or relevant intermediary as to whether it provides margin financing for your subscription of Offer Securities under the Open Offer. Please consider the risks associated with it.

Please note that the maximum limit of the Open Offer will be:-

a. new Ordinary Shares in the range of 583,728,230 (Minimum Scenario) to 651,897,755 (Maximum Scenario) (assuming that all Qualifying Shareholders elect to apply for new Ordinary Shares); orb. principal amount in the range of HK$1,517.69 million (Minimum Scenario) to HK$1,694.93 million (Maximum Scenario) of Convertible Securities (assuming that all Qualifying Shareholders choose to apply for Convertible Securities).

It is not meaningful for you to apply for more than such amount. Please also note that your subscription (by way of assured entitlement or excess application) has to be supported by valid payment.

No. The assured entitlements are not transferrable.

No. The assured entitlements are not transferrable or tradable.

The Company will allocate to each Qualifying Shareholder his assured entitlement on the basis of 5 Offer Securities for 12 existing Ordinary Shares held or owned by a Qualifying Shareholder on the Record Date. That means no entitlement will be allocated to the last odd number of Share you hold or own. For example, if you own 1,000 Shares, your assured entitlement of Offer Securities will be 415 Ordinary Shares or HK$1,079 of Convertible Securities (1,000 X 5 / 12 (rounded down to the nearest number) X HK$2.60 X 5) but not 416.67 shares or HK$1,083.33 of Convertible Securities. The fractional entitlement of 1.67 shares or HK$4.33 of Convertible Securities, together with other fractional assured entitlements, will be aggregated and made available for excess applications by the Qualifying Shareholders.

According to the latest expected timetable, refund cheques for wholly or partially unsuccessful application will be despatched on 2 February 2015 by ordinary post to the applicants at their own risk. If you are a registered member of the Company, you may expect to receive your refund cheque from Computershare starting from that day.

If you own interest in the Shares that are deposited in CCASS, please contact the relevant CCASS participant or intermediary for the details of obtaining the refund.

According to the latest expected timetable, certificates for Offer Securities will be despatched on 2 February 2015 by ordinary post to the successful applicants at their own risk. If you are a registered member of the Company, you may expect to receive your certificate for Offer Securities from Computershare starting from that day.

If you own interest in the Shares that are deposited in CCASS, the Offer Securities allocated to you will be evidenced by Certificate(s) issued in the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited. If you wish to obtain a certificate for such Offer Securities issued in your name, please require your CCASS participant or intermediary to transfer your new Ordinary Shares or principal amount of Convertible Securities from HKSCC Nominees Limited to you.
