The respective notices of the Court Meeting and the EGM to be held on Wednesday, 12 May 2010 are set out in the Scheme Document.

HTIL Independent Shareholders (including the HTIL ADS Holders) and HTIL Optionholders should consider carefully the recommendation of the HTIL Independent Board Committee and the factors, reasons and recommendation in relation to the Proposals as set out in the letter from Somerley, the independent financial adviser to the HTIL Independent Board Committee, contained in the Scheme Document before making a decision on the Proposals.

Having considered the principal factors and reasons as set out in the letter from Somerley contained in the Scheme Document, and as of the date of the Scheme Document, Somerley considers the terms of the Proposals to be fair and reasonable so far as the HTIL Independent Shareholders (including the HTIL ADS Holders) and the HTIL Optionholders are concerned and advises the HTIL Independent Board Committee (i) to recommend the HTIL Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Scheme at the Court Meeting, and (ii) to recommend the HTIL Optionholders to accept the Option Proposal to cancel their Outstanding HTIL Share Options.

The Scheme Document contains, among other things, a letter from Somerley giving its advice and recommendation to the HTIL Independent Board Committee on the Proposals.

MEETINGS

The Court Meeting and the EGM will be held at 11:00 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. (or as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting convened for the same day and place shall have been concluded or adjourned), respectively, on Wednesday, 12 May 2010 in the Grand Ballroom 1, 1st Floor, Harbour Grand Kowloon, 20 Tak Fung Street, Hunghom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The respective notices of the Court Meeting and the EGM are set out in the Scheme Document.

For the purpose of the Court Meeting and the EGM, dealings in the HTIL Shares are expected to be suspended from 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 12 May 2010, pending the release of the results of the Court Meeting and the EGM. Dealings in the HTIL Shares are expected to resume at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 13 May 2010, following the announcement of the results of the Court Meeting and the EGM.

HTIL Independent Shareholders whose names appear on the registers of members of HTIL as at the Meeting Record Date will be entitled to attend and vote, in person or by proxy, at the Court Meeting. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror held 285,893,149 HTIL Shares and HTIHL held 2,619,929,104 HTIL Shares, representing approximately 5.938% and 54.417%, respectively, of the issued share capital of HTIL. Such HTIL Shares will not form part of the Scheme Shares and will not be voted on the Scheme at the Court Meeting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the LKS-Controlled Companies were interested in an aggregate of 266,621,499 HTIL Shares; the LKS-Trust Company was interested in 153,280 HTIL Shares; the CKH-Controlled Companies were interested in an aggregate of 52,092,587 HTIL Shares; the VL-Controlled Companies were interested in 2,519,250 HTIL Shares; the CF-Controlled Company was interested in 1,202,380 HTIL Shares; Mrs. Chow Woo Mo Fong, Susan, an executive director of HWL and a non-executive director of HTIL, was interested in 250,000 HTIL Shares; Mr. Frank John Sixt, an executive director of HWL and a non-executive director of HTIL, was interested in 17,000 HTIL ADSs; and Mr. George Colin Magnus, a non-executive director of HWL, was interested in 13,201 HTIL Shares and his wife was interested in 132 HTIL Shares; they are all presumed to be parties acting in concert with the Offeror under the Takeovers Code. HTIL Shares in which such parties are interested will form part of the Scheme Shares and will be cancelled upon the Scheme becoming effective.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, members of the Goldman Sachs group (except those which are exempt principal traders and exempt fund managers, in each case recognized by the Executive as such for the purposes of the Takeovers Code) which are presumed to be acting in concert with the Offeror under the Takeovers Code were short on 25,548 HTIL ADSs (representing 383,222 HTIL Shares (approximately 0.008%)) and short on 66,800 HTIL swaps (representing 1,002,000 HTIL Shares (approximately 0.02%)).

Each of the LKS-Controlled Companies, the LKS-Trust Company, the CKH-Controlled Companies, the VL-Controlled Companies, the CF-Controlled Company, Mrs. Chow Woo Mo Fong, Susan, Mr. Frank John Sixt, Mr. George Colin Magnus and his wife will be required to abstain from voting on the Scheme at the Court Meeting to approve and give effect to the Scheme, but the HTIL Shares held by them will form part of the Scheme Shares.

The HTIL Shares held by the directors of HTIL will form part of the Scheme Shares and will be cancelled upon the Scheme becoming effective.

The HTIL Shares held by the Offeror and HTIHL, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HWL, will not form part of the Scheme Shares and will not be cancelled upon the Scheme becoming effective. As neither the Offeror nor HTIHL is a Scheme Shareholder, they will not take part in the Court Meeting.

All HTIL Shareholders whose names appear on the registers of members of HTIL as at the Meeting Record Date will be entitled to attend the EGM and vote, in person or by proxy, on (i) the special resolution to approve and give effect to the reduction of the share capital of HTIL as a result of cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares; and (ii) the ordinary resolution to immediately thereafter restore the issued share capital of HTIL to the amount prior to the cancellation of the Scheme Shares and apply the reserve created as a result of the aforesaid cancellation of the Scheme Shares to pay up in full at par, credited as fully paid, such number of new HTIL Shares as is equal to the number of Scheme Shares cancelled as a result of the Scheme, to the Offeror. Each of the Offeror and HTIHL has indicated that if the Scheme is approved at the Court Meeting, the HTIL Shares held by it will be voted in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS ON HWL

The Proposals constitute a discloseable and a connected transaction for HWL under the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Proposals will exceed 5% but all those applicable percentage ratios will be less than 25%, implementation of the Proposals will constitute a discloseable transaction for HWL under the Listing Rules.

As detailed in the 8 January Announcement, each of the LKS-Controlled Companies, the LKS-Trust Company, the CKH-Controlled Companies, the VL-Controlled Companies, the CF-Controlled Company, Mrs. Chow Woo Mo Fong, Susan, Mr. Frank John Sixt, Mr. George Colin Magnus, Mr. Lui Dennis Pok Man, Mr. Chan Ting Yu, Mr. John W. Stanton, Mr. Woo Chiu Man, Cliff and persons who are or were in the preceding 12 months directors of HWL or HTIL (or of other subsidiaries of HWL) is a connected person of HWL under the Listing Rules. The aggregate payment by the Offeror of the Cancellation Price (in the total amount of approximately HK$744 million (on the basis of their respective shareholdings in HTIL as at the Latest Practicable Date)) to the aforesaid Connected Scheme Shareholders in consideration for the cancellation of their respective interests in HTIL Shares (and any payment of a similar nature to any other Connected Scheme Shareholders) will constitute a connected transaction for HWL under the Listing Rules. The connected transaction will be subject only to the reporting and

announcement requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of such aggregate payment by the Offeror of the Cancellation Price to them will exceed 0.1% but all those applicable percentage ratios in respect of HWL will be less than 2.5%.

Furthermore, Mr. Christopher John Foll is an executive director of HTIL and is a connected person of HWL under the Listing Rules. The acceptance by Mr. Christopher John Foll of the Option Proposal or, if any of his Outstanding HTIL Share Options are exercised before the Record Date, the payment by the Offeror of the Cancellation Price to him in consideration for the cancellation of his interest in HTIL Shares, will constitute a connected transaction for HWL under the Listing Rules.
