6.Share capital (continued)


For the purpose of determining the rights attaching to the ‘A’ ordinary shares (including rights relating to any issue of shares, dividend or other distribution, return of assets or other reduction of capital), each ‘A’ ordinary share shall be treated as having the same nominal value as each ordinary share.  On a winding up of the Company, the holders of the ‘A’ ordinary shares and the ordinary shares would receive a return of capital in proportion to the number of shares held by them respectively.  These classes of share rank equally for dividends pro rata to the number of shares held.  
The ‘C’ ordinary shares, which do not carry any voting rights, are not entitled to receive dividends until the occurrence of a winding up, listing on the Stock Exchange or change in ownership of the Company, when such shares to the extent not converted to deferred shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with the ‘A’ ordinary shares and ordinary shares.
The Company’s articles of association provide for the conversion of ‘A’ ordinary shares or ‘C’ ordinary shares into deferred shares on the winding up, listing or change in ownership of the Company.
