(1) Mr. Lu and the persons connected with him are presently deemed to be beneficially interested in 258,575,353 Shares which represent about 29.17% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as a result of Nan Luen International Limited ("NLI") increasing its shareholding interest in S E A Holdings Limited ("SEA") on 13th October, 2009;
(2) SEA is beneficially entitled to, in aggregate, about 97.17% of the existing issued share capital of the Company;

(4) Immediately before its purchase of further shares in SEA on 13th October, 2009, NLI had a diluted interest of 59.06% in the issued share capital of SEA as a result of the issue by SEA on several occasions of new SEA shares to certain option holders who had exercised their subscription rights. On 13th October, 2009, NLI purchased additional SEA shares and immediately thereafter increased its shareholding in SEA to about 59.18%. As a result, Mr. Lu is deemed to have increased his beneficial shareholding interest to 258,575,353 Shares (representing approximately 29.17% of the issued share capital of the Company).
