WAH CONS<00027>-Joint Ann & Resumed-5 REASON FOR, BENEFITS OF, AND USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE PLACING AND SUBSCRIPTION The purpose of the Placing and Subscription is to raise capital for the purposes of funding the Acquisition details of which were set out in the joint announcement of KWIH and KWCM dated 18 April, 2005. The net proceeds of the Subscription are estimated to be approximately HK$1,136.8 million. If the Acquisition does not complete, the net proceeds will be used for general working capital of KWCM. Following the share placement, the indirect shareholding of KWIH in KWCM will be reduced to approximately 59.1%. KWCM has not undertaken any equity fund raising exercise over the past 12 months.
