An explanatory statement as required under the Share Repurchase Rules to provide the requisite information of the Repurchase Proposal is set out in Appendix I hereto.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

It will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting two ordinary resolutions respectively granting to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued Shares at the date of the resolution (i.e. not exceeding 1,386,187,915 Shares based on the issued Shares of 6,930,939,579 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that such issued Shares remain the same at the date of passing the resolution) and adding to such general mandate so granted to the Directors any Shares repurchased by the Company after the granting of the general mandate to repurchase up to 10% of the issued Shares at the date of the Repurchase Resolution.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the executive Directors of the Company are Mr. Wu Xiangdong, Mr. Tang Yong and Mr. Yu Jian; the non-executive Directors of the Company are Mr. Yan Biao, Mr. Du Wenmin, Mr. Ding Jiemin, Mr. Wei Bin, Mr. Chen Ying and Mr. Wang Yan; and the independent non-executive Directors of the Company are Mr. Wang Shi, Mr. Ho Hin Ngai, Bosco, Mr. Andrew Y. Yan, Mr. Wan Kam To, Peter and Mr. Ma Weihua.

Pursuant to article 116 of the articles of association of the Company, Mr. Wu Xiangdong, Mr. Tang Yong, Mr. Du Wenmin, Mr. Ho Hin Ngai and Mr. Wan Kam To, Peter shall retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and shall be eligible and offer themselves for re-election.

Mr. Ho Hin Ngai has served as independent non-executive Director more than 9 years and his re-election will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. As an independent non-executive Director with in-depth understanding of the Company’s operations and business, Mr. Ho has expressed objective views and given independent guidance to the Company over the years, and he continues demonstrating a firm commitment to his role.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the repurchase of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the Repurchase Resolution.

I. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 6,930,939,579 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Proposal to repurchase a maximum of 693,093,957 Shares representing not more than 10% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association and the law of the Cayman Islands. The law of the Cayman Islands provides that the amount to be repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid from the profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or out of capital, if the Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2015 in the event that the Repurchase Proposal was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Proposal to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

March 2016 21.00 18.70
April 2016 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 20.55 18.88

5. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Proposal if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

6. TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CRN is interested in 4,246,618,418 Shares (representing approximately 61.27% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Proposal, then (if the present shareholdings remain the same) the attributable interests of CRN would be increased to approximately 68.08% of the issued Shares and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal to such an extent as to result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

7. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, except that the Company had through trustee purchased 2,406,000 Shares from the market at an aggregate consideration of HK$48,608,041.85 (including transaction costs) under the strategic incentive award scheme adopted on 30 May 2008 and amended on 8 December 2009.
