    MAINTAINING THE LISTING STATUS OF THE COMPANY                             
    The Offeror intends to maintain the listing of the                        
    Shares on the Stock Exchange after the close of the

    nominated by the Offeror will undertake to the Stock                      
    Exchange to take appropriate steps as soon as possible                    
    following the close of the Offer to ensure that not                       
    less than 25% of the Shares will be held by the public.                   
                                                                              
    The Stock Exchange has stated that if, upon closing                       
    of the Offer, less than 25% of the Shares are held                        
    by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that                      
    (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading                     
    of the Shares; or (ii) there are insufficient Shares                      
    in public hands to maintain an orderly market, then                       
    it will consider exercising its discretion to suspend                     
    trading in the Shares until a level of sufficient                         
    public float is attained.                                                 
                                                                              
    So long as the Company remains a listed company, the                      
    Stock Exchange will also closely monitor all future                       
    acquisitions or disposals of assets of the Company.                       
    Any acquisitions or disposals of assets by the Group                      
    will be subject to the provisions of the Listing Rules.                   
    Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Stock Exchange has                     
    the discretion to require the Company to issue an                         
    announcement and a circular to the Shareholders                           
    irrespective of the size of any proposed transactions,                    
    particularly when such proposed transactions                              
    represent a departure from the principal activities                       
    of the Company. The Stock Exchange also has the power                     
    to aggregate a series of acquisitions or disposals                        
    of the Company and any such transactions may result
