09:42 HAYWOOD INV<00905> - Announcement (2) (b) advise acquisitions and realizations of investments and submit relevant proposals to the Board for approval. The investment management fee shall be an amount equal to 0.375% of the Net Asset Value on each Quarter Date for the quarter and shall be payable on the date the Net Asset Value for the relevant Quarter Date is calculated. The fee shall not be less than HK$150,000 per three months. Accordingly, the minimum investment management fee shall be HK$ 600,000 per annum. Based on the unaudited Net Asset Value as disclosed in the announcement of the Company on 17 May 2005, the investment management fee shall be approximately HK$225,600 per annum and the minimum fee of HK$600,000 shall apply. The investment management fee was negotiated on an arm's length basis. Save for the investment management fee the term of services of the investment manager and the terms relating to the termination of the investment management agreement, there is no material difference between the IM Agreement and the New IM Agreement. REASON FOR THE ENTERING INTO THE NEW IM AGREEMENT The Company considers that since Hua Yu has extensive investment experience in Hong Kong and the PRC, it will be beneficial to the Company's business to terminate the IM Agreement and appoint Hua Yu as the investment manager in order to fully capture the investment opportunities in the PRC. The Company has no intention to change the investment objectives and policies of the Company after entering into the New IM Agreement. BACKGROUND OF HUA YU Hua Yu was incorporated in Hong Kong in 1998 and is a deemed Licensed Corporation under the SFO permitted to carry on Type 4 (advising on securities), Type 6 (advising on corporate finance) and Type 9 (asset management) of the regulated activities. Hua Yu is principally engaged in the business of investment management and provision of corporate advisory services. Hua Yu is a subsidiary of Yu Ming Investment Management Limited ("Yu Ming"), and is owned as to approximately 91% by Yu Ming and as to approximately 9% by Hua Jian International Finance Company Limited. Yu Ming is a deemed Licensed Corporation under the SFO permitted to carry on Type 1 (dealing in securities), Type 4 (advising on securities), Type 6 (advising on corporate finance) and Type 9 (asset management) of the regulated activities. Hua Yu was the investment manager of Sino Technology Investments Limited, an investment company listed on the Stock Exchange, between July 2002 and June 2003. The directors of Hua Yu at that time were Mr. Fung Yiu Fai, Peter, Mr. Lee Wa Lun, Warren, Mr. Wang Yi Nan and Mr. Lau Lap Kwan. There is no change of directors of Hua Yu since Hua Yu acted as the investment manager of Sino Technology Investments Limited. Presently, Hua Yu is not an investment manager of any investment company in Hong Kong other than the Company. After entering into the New IM Agreement, the Board will concentrate on the administration (including but not limited to legal compliance and financial management) of the Company while Hua Yu shall concentrate on identifying and carrying out analysis or investigation of investment opportunities, assessing the possibility of acquisitions and realizations of investments for the Company.
