    2. Rationale for the proposed Renewed Share Purchase Mandate

    TherationalefortheCompanytoundertakethepurchaseoracquisitionofitsSharesisasfollows: (a) Sharepurchasesmaybeconsideredasoneofthewaysthroughwhichtheshareholdervalue

    (b) Buying back shares alsomeans that the Company’s earnings are now split among fewershares,meaninghigherearningspershare(“EPS”),and

    (c) BuyingbacksharesprovidestheCompanywithamechanismtofacilitatethereturnofsurpluscashover andabove its ordinary capital requirements in anexpedient, effective and cost-efficientmanner.

    TheDirectorsfurtherbelievethatSharepurchasesbytheCompanymayhelptomitigateshort-termmarketvolatilityintheCompany’sShareprice,off-settheeffectsofshort-termspeculationandbolsterShareholders’confidence.

    ByobtainingtheproposedRenewedSharePurchaseMandate,theCompanywillhavetheflexibilitytoundertakepurchasesofSharesatanytime,subjecttomarketconditions,duringtheperiodwhentheRenewedSharePurchaseMandateisinforce.Ifandwhencircumstancespermit,theDirectorswilldecidewhethertoeffecttheSharepurchasesviaMarketPurchasesorOff-MarketPurchases,aftertaking intoaccount theamountofsurpluscashavailable, theprevailingmarketconditionsand themostcost-effectiveandefficientapproach.TheDirectorsdonotproposetocarryoutbuy-backstoanextentthatwould,orincircumstancesthatmight,resultinamaterialadverseeffectontheliquidityand/ortheorderlytradingoftheSharesand/orthefinancialpositionoftheCompanyanditssubsidiaries(“Group”).ShareholdersshouldalsonotethatpurchasesoracquisitionsofSharespursuanttotheproposedRenewedSharePurchaseMandatemaynotbecarriedouttothefulllimitasauthorised.

    II. PROPOSED RENEWAL OF INTERESTED PERSONS TRANSACTIONS (“IPT”) GENERAL MANDATE

    12. Background

    The Company anticipates that the Group would, in the ordinary course of business, enter intotransactionswithpersonswhichareconsidered‘InterestedPersons’asdefinedinChapter9oftheListingManual.Itislikelythatsuchtransactionswilloccurwithsomedegreeoffrequencyandcouldariseatanytimeandfromtimetotime.

    Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual permits a listed company to seek a general mandate from itsshareholdersforrecurrenttransactionsofarevenueortradingnatureorthosenecessaryforitsday-to-dayoperationssuchasthepurchaseandsaleofsuppliesandmaterials(butnotinrespectofthepurchaseorsaleofassets,undertakingsorbusinesses)thatmaybecarriedoutwiththeInterestedPersons.

    Shareholdershadapprovedageneralmandate(“2008 IPT Mandate”)attheSpecialGeneralMeetingoftheCompanyheldon24October2008(“SGM”)toenabletheGroupanditsassociatedcompaniesoranyofthemtoenterintoanyoftherecurrenttransactionsfallingwithinthetypesofIPTssetoutintheCompany’sCirculartoShareholdersdated2October2008(“Circular”),withanypartywhoisoftheclassesofInterestedPersonsdescribedintheCircular(“Interested Persons”),providedthatsuchIPTsarecarriedoutonnormalcommercialtermsandinaccordancewiththereviewproceduresforRecurrentTransactions(asdefinedbelow)setoutintheCircular,forthepurposesofChapter9oftheListingManual.The2008IPTMandatewasrenewedbyShareholdersattheAnnualGeneralMeetingoftheCompanyin2009andagainattheAnnualGeneralMeetingoftheCompanyin2010(“2010 IPT Mandate”).The2010IPTMandatewillexpireontheforthcomingAGMunlessrenewedbytheShareholders.

    Accordingly, the Directors propose to seek the approval of Shareholders for the renewal of the2010IPTMandate(“Renewed IPT General Mandate”),totakeeffectandcontinueinforceuntiltheconclusionofthenextAnnualGeneralMeetingoftheCompanyin2012.TheproposedRenewedIPTGeneralMandateissetoutinResolution 11.ThepurposeofthisletteristoprovideShareholderswithinformationrelatingtotheproposedRenewedIPTGeneralMandate.

    ThescopeandkeytermsandconditionsoftheMLAandMSA(asdefinedinparagraph13below),themethodsandproceduresfordeterminingtransactionpricesandthereviewandapprovalproceduresinrelationtoIPTs,aswellasthereviewstobemadeperiodicallybytheAuditCommitteeinrelationthereto,havenotchangedfromthatdescribedintheCircularandasapprovedbyShareholdersunderthe2008IPTMandateattheSGMandrenewedbyShareholdersunderthe2010IPTMandate.

    13. Rationale for the Renewed IPT General Mandate and benefits to Shareholders

    It isenvisaged that theGroupmay fromtime to time, in theordinarycourseofbusiness,continuetoengage in recurrent transactionsofa revenueor tradingnaturewith the InterestedPersonsasdescribed in theCircular(“Recurrent Transactions”).SuchRecurrentTransactionswould include,butarenotlimitedtotransactionspursuanttotheMasterLicenceAgreement(“MLA”asdefinedintheCircular)andtheMasterServicesAgreement(“MSA”asdefinedintheCircular),thegrantoflicensesof theGroup’ssoftware, resaleof IBMSystem iProducts (asdefined in theCircular),provisionofServices(asdefinedintheCircular)to,andreceiptofServicesfrom,theInterestedPersons.

    TheDirectorsareoftheviewthatitwillbebeneficialtotheGrouptotransactorcontinuetotransactwiththeInterestedPersons,especiallysincethetransactionsaretobeenteredintoonnormalcommercialterms.

    Duetothetime-sensitivenatureofcommercialtransactions,theobtainingoftheRenewedIPTGeneralMandatepursuanttoChapter9oftheListingManualwillenabletheGrouptoenterintothecategoriesofIPTswiththespecifiedclassesofInterestedPersons,providedthatsuchtransactionsareenteredintointheGroup’sordinarycourseofbusinessonnormalcommercialtermsandarenotprejudicialtotheinterestsoftheCompanyanditsminorityShareholders.

    TheRenewedIPTGeneralMandatewillenhancetheGroup’sabilitytopursuebusinessopportunityandwill eliminate theneed for theCompany toannounce,or toannounceandconveneseparategeneral meetings on each occasion to seek Shareholders’ prior approval for entering into suchtransactions. This will substantially reduce administrative time and expenses associated with themakingofsuchannouncementsortheconveningofgeneralmeetingsfromtimetotime,andallowmanpowerresourcestobefocusedtowardsothercorporateandbusinessopportunities.
