A circular setting out information relating to the above matters, notice of the SGM to be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the issue of the Conversion Shares and the adoption of the Employee Incentive Scheme and the form of proxy will be despatched to the Shareholders on 18 March 2005. INTRODUCTION 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 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. As set out in the Circular, a written approval has been obtained from Rich Global Limited, the controlling shareholder holding approximately 56.8% in the nominal value of the securities giving the right to attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company to approve the Subscription. Subsequent to the issue of the Circular, the Stock Exchange and the Company have agreed that the Subscription, which constitutes a material dilution of the Company's interest in Turbo Speed pursuant to Rule 13.36(1)(a)(ii) of the Listing Rules, is subject to Shareholders' approval in a general meeting. Accordingly, a general meeting will be convened for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Subscription and the issue of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. 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 Shareholders' approval for the issue of the Conversion Shares. Also, the Board intends Turbo Speed to adopt the Employee Incentive Scheme. The grant of the Option Shares, which represents a possible disposal of the Company's interest in Turbo Speed, when aggregated with the Subscription, which represents a deemed disposal of the Company's interest in Turbo Speed, constitutes a major transaction for the Company pursuant to the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the adoption of the Employee Incentive Scheme is subject to Shareholders' approval under the Listing Rules.
