NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed, amongst other things, to grant to the Directors general mandates to issue and buy-back Shares and to re-elect the retiring Directors. The AGM Notice is set out on pages 15 to 20 of this circular. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the above proposals.

  • For identification only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND BUY-BACK SHARES

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM relating to the following general mandates:

  1. authorising the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares (and securities convertible into Shares and rights to subscribe for Shares) not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution;
  2. authorising the Directors to buy-back Shares not exceeding 10% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution; and
  3. authorising the addition to the mandate to issue additional Shares (referred to in (i) above) of those Shares bought-back by the Company pursuant to the buy-back mandate (referred to in
    1. above).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued Shares comprised 2,038,236,743 Shares. On the assumption that there is no variation to the issued Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing of the resolution approving the mandate to issue new Shares (referred to in (i) above), the maximum number of Shares which may be issued by the Company pursuant to the mandate would be 407,647,348, not taking into account any additional new Shares which may be issued pursuant to the mandate referred to in (iii) above.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, and in particular the rules regulating the buy-back of securities on the Stock Exchange, the Company is required to send to Shareholders an explanatory statement containing information reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the buy-back by the Company of its Shares. This explanatory statement is set out in Appendix 1 to this circular.

RETIREMENT AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws, Mr Li Tzar Kai, Richard, Ms Hui Hon Hing, Susanna and Mr Lee Chi Hong, Robert shall retire by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The re-election of these retiring Directors will be individually voted on by the Shareholders.

The Nomination Committee has considered the nomination of Mr Li Tzar Kai, Richard, Ms Hui Hon Hing, Susanna and Mr Lee Chi Hong, Robert for re-election at the AGM in accordance with the Company's Nomination Policy and Board Diversity Policy, based on a number of considerations (including, but not limited to, their respective perspectives, skills, knowledge and experience), and recommended them to stand for re-election at the AGM.

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board accepted the nomination by the Nomination Committee and also recommended the above retiring Directors to stand for re-election at the AGM.

Biographical information of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM is set out in Appendix 2 to this circular.

AGM

The AGM Notice is set out on pages 15 to 20 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed. The form of proxy can also be downloaded from the website of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited at www.hkexnews.hk and the website of PCPD at www.pcpd.com. Whether or not Shareholders are able to attend the AGM, Shareholders are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit it with the Company's branch share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM (or any adjournment thereof). Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof) should they so desire.

PROCEDURE FOR VOTING BY POLL

As required under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. The Chairman of the AGM shall put each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM by way of a poll according to Bye-law 66(1) of the Bye-laws.

After the conclusion of the AGM, the results of the poll will be published on the website of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited at www.hkexnews.hk and the website of PCPD at www.pcpd.com.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the grant of the general mandates to issue and buy-back Shares and the re-election of Directors are all in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

APPENDIX 1 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK PROPOSAL

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed general mandate for the buy-back of securities to be granted to the Directors:

  1. LISTING RULES REQUIREMENT FOR BUY-BACK OF SECURITIES
    The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to buy-back their securities (which shall include, where the context permits, shares of all classes and securities which carry a right to subscribe or purchase shares, of a company, and shall include warrants) on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:
    1. Shareholders' approval
      All on-market securities buy-backs on the Stock Exchange by the Company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transactions.
    2. Source of funds
      Buy-backs must be funded out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company's Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws and the Companies Act.
  2. ISSUED SHARES
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued Shares comprised 2,038,236,743 Shares (excluding the 0.2 non-tradable fractional consolidated shares).
    Subject to the passing of Resolution No. 5 as set out in the AGM Notice (the "Buy-backMandate"), the Company would be allowed to buy-back a maximum of 203,823,674 Shares on the assumption that there is no variation to the issued Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing of the resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate.

- 7 -

APPENDIX 1 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK PROPOSAL

  1. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK
    The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy-back Shares in the market. Such buy-backs may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the Company's net asset value and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-backs will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
  2. FUNDING OF AND IMPACT ON BUY-BACK
    Buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate would be financed entirely by the available cash flow or working capital facilities of the Company. Any buy-backs will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purpose in accordance with its Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws and the Companies Act.
    There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its latest published audited financial statements) in the event that the Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company unless the Directors determine that such buy-backs are, taking into account all relevant factors, in the best interest of the Company.

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Bermuda and the Bye-laws.

Where a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of Share buy-back by the Company, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a 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.

- 9 -

APPENDIX 1 EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK PROPOSAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Asian Motion Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCCW, held 635,354,407 Shares, representing approximately 31.17% of the total number of issued Shares, and Mr Li Tzar Kai, Richard, companies controlled by him and his related trusts are deemed under SFO to be interested in an aggregate of 609,432,786 Shares, representing approximately 29.90% of the total number of issued Shares. As the Buy-back Mandate allows the Company to buy-back a maximum of 203,823,674 Shares, in the event that the Directors should exercise the Buy-back Mandate in full, then (assuming the number of Shares in which Asian Motion Limited and Mr Li Tzar Kai, Richard, companies controlled by him and his related trusts are interested as at the Latest Practicable Date remains the same) the shareholdings of Asian Motion Limited and Mr Li Tzar Kai, Richard, companies controlled by him and his related trusts would be increased to approximately 34.64% and 33.22% of the total number of issued Shares respectively. In the opinion of the Directors, such increases may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would result in a mandatory offer obligation arising.

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the Buy-back Mandate.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates, presently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Buy-back Mandate in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell any Shares, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them, to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

7. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not bought-back any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

- 10 -
