(Stock Code : 00173) INTERIM SCRIP DIVIDEND WITH A CASH OPTION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2016

The Discounted Market Value of a New Share for the purpose of calculating the number of New Shares to be allotted to the Shareholders as the interim scrip dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2016 is HK$4.0679.

A circular ("Circular") was despatched to the shareholders ("Shareholders") of K. Wah International Holdings Limited ("Company") on 21 September 2016 describing the arrangements for payment of the Interim Dividend of HK$0.05 per ordinary share of HK$0.10 each of the Company ("Share"). Defined terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as ascribed in the Circular, unless the context otherwise requires.

The Company announces that for the purpose of calculating the number of New Shares to be allotted by way of scrip dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2016, the Discounted Market Value of a New Share is HK$4.0679.

As stated in the Circular, the Discounted Market Value of HK$4.0679 is calculated by the average of the closing prices of each Share on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("HK Stock Exchange") for the consecutive trading days from 22 September 2016 to 28 September 2016, both dates inclusive (which is HK$4.282), less five per cent discount, rounding down such figure to four decimal places.

Accordingly, under the scrip dividend arrangements, Shareholders will receive the following number of New Shares as scrip dividend on that part of their shareholdings in respect of which they have not made elections to receive the Interim Dividend in cash:

Number of Shares held

on 19 September 2016 for which cash election is not made

x

HK$0.05

-------------------------------- HK$4.0679

The New Shares to be issued pursuant to the scrip dividend arrangements will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Shares, except for the Interim Dividend, and will rank in full for all future dividends and distributions which may be declared, made or paid.

No Shareholder will be entitled to be issued any fraction of a New Share under the scrip dividend arrangements and the number of New Shares to be issued to each Shareholder (other than those who elect to receive their full entitlement to the Interim Dividend in cash) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Fractional entitlements to New Shares will be disregarded and the benefit thereof will accrue to the Company.

Shareholders resident outside Hong Kong are reminded to consult their bankers or other professional advisers as to whether any governmental or other consents are required or other formalities need to be observed to enable them to receive New Shares in satisfaction of the Interim Dividend.

It is expected that share certificates in respect of the New Shares to be allotted as scrip dividend and dividend warrants of HK$0.05 per Share will be posted to the Shareholders at their own risk on or before 18 October 2016.

The Shareholders who wish to receive all or part of their Interim Dividend in cash in lieu of New Shares are reminded to complete the Form of Election and lodge it with the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not later than 4:30 p.m. on 6 October 2016. Dealings of the New Shares on the HK Stock Exchange are expected to commence on or about 19 October 2016. Conditional approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares has been obtained from the HK Stock Exchange, subject to fulfillment of all other conditions of the scrip dividend scheme.
