THE PROPOSED ADDITIONAL BONDS ISSUE Introduction

The Company proposes to conduct a further international offering of US$ denominated senior fixed rate bonds on terms and conditions of the Original Bonds, save for the issue date and the offering price.

Completion of the Proposed Additional Bonds Issue is subject to, among others, market conditions and investors' interest.

The pricing of the proposed Additional Bonds, including the aggregate principal amount and the offer price for the Bonds, will be determined through a book building exercise conducted by Barclays as the sole global co-ordinator, sole bookrunner and sole lead manager. Upon finalising the terms of the Additional Bonds, Barclays and the Company will enter into the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which Barclays will subscribe or procure subscribers for the Additional Bonds. The Company will make further announcement in respect of the Proposed Additional Bonds Issue upon the execution of the Subscription Agreement.

The Additional Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state of the United States or other jurisdictions, and will not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state or local securities law in the United States. None of the Additional Bonds will be offered to the public in Hong Kong by the Company.

Reason for the Proposed Additional Bonds Issue

The Proposed Additional Bonds Issue is being undertaken for the Group's business operations overseas and other general corporate purposes overseas. The Company may adjust its development plans in response to changing market conditions and thus may reallocate the use of proceeds accordingly.
