          DEEMED DISPOSAL OF INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY IN RELATION TO PROPOSED
        SPIN-OFF AND SEPARATE LISTING OF SPINCO ON THE SHANGHAI STOCK EXCHANGE

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09(1) of the Listing Rules.

The Board proposes to spin-off SpinCo, an indirectly-owned subsidiary of the Company 
which carries on the Group's securities related business (including but not limited 
to securities brokerage, investment banking, proprietary trading and asset 
management) in the PRC, and to seek a separate listing of its shares as A Shares on 
the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The Company will submit a proposal in relation to the 
Proposed Spin-off to the Stock Exchange for approval pursuant to Practice Note 15 
of the Listing Rules as soon as practicable.

The Proposed Spin-off, should it materialise, will constitute a deemed disposal of 
the Company's indirect equity interest in SpinCo under Rule 14.29 of the Listing 
Rules. The Proposed Spin-off, if it proceeds, may or may not constitute a 
notifiable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, and 
the Company will strictly comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 14 
of the Listing Rules in due course. It is expected that, immediately upon 
completion of the Proposed Spin-off, the Company will continue to be the 
controlling shareholder of SpinCo.

The exact details of the Proposed Spin-off will be finalised by the shareholders 
of SpinCo at a later stage.

Shareholders and public investors should note that there is no assurance as to 
whether or when the Proposed Spin-off will proceed, or whether it will be completed 
successfully. As the Proposed Spin-off may or may not proceed, Shareholders and 
public investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of 
the Company.

Further announcements will be made by the Company as and when appropriate in 
compliance with the Listing Rules.
 
INTRODUCTION

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09(1) of the Listing Rules.

The Board proposes to spin-off SpinCo, an indirectly-owned subsidiary of the Company 
which carries on the Group's securities related business (including but not limited 
to securities brokerage, investment banking, proprietary trading and asset 
management) in the PRC, and to seek a separate listing of its shares as A Shares on 
the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

PROPOSED SPIN-OFF

Pursuant to the Proposed Spin-off, it is intended that SpinCo will issue new shares 
and seek listing of the same as A Shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Since the 
proposed issue of new shares by SpinCo will result in a reduction of the Company's 
indirect shareholding interest in SpinCo, under Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules, 
the Proposed Spin-off will constitute a deemed disposal by the Company. The exact 
details of the Proposed Spin-off, including the size and structure of the new share 
issuance, the offer price and proceeds to be raised, will be finalised by the 
shareholders of SpinCo at a later stage, and will depend upon, amongst other 
factors, the prevailing market conditions. The expected timetable is also not yet 
finalised as at the date of this announcement. Further announcements will be made 
by the Company upon finalisation of the details of the Proposed Spin-off.

Immediately upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off, the Company is expected to 
continue to be the controlling shareholder of SpinCo.

Factors affecting the Proposed Spin-off will include compliance with all applicable 
regulatory requirements, including obtaining approval from the Stock Exchange 
pursuant to Practice Note 15, the CSRC and other relevant regulatory authorities, 
suitable market conditions at the relevant time and other conditions which may not 
be foreseen.

The Proposed Spin-off, if it proceeds, may or may not constitute a notifiable 
transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, and the Company 
will strictly comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing 
Rules in due course.

INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY, THE GROUP AND SPINCO

The Company is an infrastructure company principally engaged in investing in, 
developing and operating high-grade roads. The Group also carries on certain other 
businesses such as automobile servicing, operation of gas stations and billboard 
advertising along expressways, as well as the securities related business carried 
on by SpinCo.

SpinCo is a joint stock limited company incorporated in the PRC on 9 May 2002 and 
is an indirectly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As at the date of this 
announcement, it is engaged in securities related business (including but not 
limited to securities brokerage, investment banking, proprietary trading and asset 
management).
  
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED SPIN-OFF

The Board believes that the Proposed Spin-off would be in the interests of the 
Group as it would enable the market to appraise and assess the value of the Group 
more effectively and provide a separate fund raising platform for SpinCo, which 
will allow SpinCo to develop new businesses and become more competitive and will in 
turn benefit the Group.

UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS

The net proceeds to be raised from the Proposed Spin-off is proposed to be utilised 
to increase the net capital and expand the business of SpinCo.

APPLICATION TO THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES

Under Practice Note 15 of the Listing Rules, the Proposed Spin-off will require the 
approval from, among others, the Stock Exchange. In this regard, the Company will 
submit a proposal in relation to the Proposed Spin-off to the Stock Exchange as 
soon as practicable for consideration and approval pursuant to Practice Note 15 of 
the Listing Rules.

GENERAL

As of the date of this announcement, SpinCo has not submitted any listing 
application to the CSRC/Shanghai Stock Exchange. The decisions of the board and/or 
the shareholders of SpinCo to proceed with the Proposed Spin-off are dependent upon,
among others, the market conditions during the period leading up to the Proposed 
Spin-off. There is also no assurance that the Proposed Spin-off, including the 
separate listing of the shares of SpinCo on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, will take 
place or as to when it may take place.

Shareholders and public investors should note that there is no assurance as to 
whether or when the Proposed Spin-off will be approved by the Stock Exchange or 
proceed, or whether it will be completed successfully. As the Proposed Spin-off may
