Pursuant to the repurchase mandate granted to the

Company has repurchased a total number of 6,314,000 of its

repurchases according to the market conditions, but in any
case, the aggregate number of shares already repurchased
and shares which may be repurchased will not exceed
121,315,696 shares according to the Repurchase
Mandate.
Shareholders and investors should note that any
repurchase of shares made under the Repurchase Mandate will

under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the
Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and AIM Rules and will
be at the Company's management's absolute
discretion. There is no assurance of the timing, quantity
or price of any share repurchases or whether the Company
will make any further repurchases at all. Shareholders and
investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in
the shares of the Company.
