HI SUN GROUP LIMITED * (incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability) (Stock Code: 818) MAJOR TRANSACTION ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE PREFERENCE SHARES BY A SUBSIDIARY AND ADOPTION OF EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEME BY A SUBSIDIARY Financial adviser TAI FOOK CAPITAL LIMITED As announced by the Company on 11 November 2004, on 9 November 2004, Turbo Speed, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Subscribers in relation to the subscription by the Subscribers of the Convertible Preference Shares at a total subscription price of US$4 million (approximately HK$31.2 million). The Convertible Preference Shares represent approximately 19.1% of the existing total number of issued shares of Turbo Speed and approximately 16.0% of the total number of issued shares of Turbo Speed as enlarged by the Subscription. Given that Turbo Speed is a major subsidiary of the Company and the Subscription will result in a material dilution of the Company's interest in Turbo Speed under Rule 13.36(1)(a)(ii) of the Listing Rules, the Subscription is subject to approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting. The Company announced that a general meeting will be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Subscription and the issue of the Conversion Shares. As set out in the Announcement and the Circular, the Company intended to issue the Conversion Shares under the General Mandate. However, to allow greater flexibility to the Company given that under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the number of Conversion Shares may exceed the maximum limit of the number of Shares issuable under the General Mandate, the Board decided to seek the Shareholders' approval for the issue of the Conversion Shares. This announcement sets out information relating to the Subscription and the issue of the Conversion Shares (including and in addition to those set out in the Circular). Also, the Board intends Turbo Speed to adopt the Employee Incentive Scheme. The Subscription, which represents a deemed disposal of the Company's interest in Turbo Speed, and the grant of the Option Shares, which represents a possible disposal of the Company's interest in Turbo Speed, when aggregated, constitutes a major transaction for the Company pursuant to the Listing
