As the Company is still under offer period and in compliance with Rule 3.7 of the Takeovers Code, monthly announcement(s) (this announcement being one of them) setting out the progress of any possible disposal by the JPLs of the shares of the Company will be made until the announcement of a firm intention to make an offer under Rule 3.5 of the Takeovers Code or of a decision not

Warning

The possible sale of the shares of the Company by the JPLs may or may not materialise, and even if materialised, may or may not result in a change of control and lead to a general offer under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional adviser(s).
