Press Announcement

HONG KONG, April 16, 2003 – Ek Chor China Motorcycle Co. Ltd. (“Ek Chor China” or the “Company”; NYSE: EKC) plans to file today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Schedule 13E-3”) in connection with a proposed going-private transaction pursuant to which the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of C.P. Pokphand Co. Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (“CPP”). The filing includes the form of a proxy statement which the Company intends to use in soliciting proxies for the Company’s meetings of shareholders to be convened in connection with the proposed transaction. As of April 15, 2003, CPP was the holder of approximately 68.2% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company.

Under the terms of the proposed transaction, holders of the approximately 31.8% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company not currently owned by CPP will receive US$3.75 in cash for each share of common stock of the Company they hold. It is proposed that the transaction will be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under the Companies Act of Bermuda, which will require, among other things, the approval of holders of shares not owned by CPP at a shareholders meeting to be convened for such purpose at the direction of the Supreme Court of Bermuda. If approval is received from a majority in number of the holders of such shares who represent at least three-fourths in value of such shares present and voting (either in person or by proxy) at such meeting and the scheme of arrangement is sanctioned by the Supreme Court of Bermuda with the court order sanctioning the scheme of arrangement duly registered, then the scheme of arrangement will be binding on all shareholders of the Company. The Company intends to have the shares delisted from the New York Stock Exchange following completion of the scheme of arrangement.

Investors are encouraged to read the Schedule 13E-3 being filed by the Company today as it will contain important information about the Company and the proposed transaction. Investors may view and download a copy of the Schedule 13E-3 at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
