This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules.
Reference is made to the Overseas Regulatory Announcements published by the Company on 7 April 2010
and on 15 April 2010.
The Board is pleased to announce that the Company has launched the ADR Offering on 15 April 2010.
The ADR Offering comprises up to 3,500,000 ADSs. The Underwriters will also have the option to

Upon completion of the ADR Offering, up to 80,500,000 New Shares will be allotted and issued to the
Depositary by the Company and will be held by the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement. The ADSs
will be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. All of the New Shares will be allotted and issued
pursuant to the General Mandate and therefore no further Shareholders approval will be required.
The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New
Shares on the Stock Exchange.
On 15 April 2010, the Company published an Overseas Regulatory Announcement which sets out further

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules.
THE ADR OFFERING
Reference is made to the Overseas Regulatory Announcements published by the Company on 7 April 2010
and on 15 April 2010.
The Board is pleased to announce that the Company has launched the ADR Offering on 15 April 2010.
The ADR Offering comprises up to 3,500,000 ADSs. The Underwriters will also have the option to
purchase up to an additional 525,000 ADSs from the Company at the Offer Price, less underwriting
discounts and commissions, within 30 days, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. Each ADS
represents 20 Shares. If the ADR Offering is fully subscribed and the over-allotment option is
exercised in full, the Company will allot and issue 80,500,000 New Shares.
The ADSs will be offered to selected institutional, professional or private investors. None of the
ADSs will be offered to the general public in Hong Kong nor will they be placed to any connected
persons of the Group.
It is expected that the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriters on
or about 23 April 2010 and that the ADR Offering will be fully underwritten by the Underwriters.
New Shares to be issued
Upon completion of the ADR Offering, up to 80,500,000 New Shares will be allotted and issued by the
Company to be held by the Depositary under the Deposit Agreement. The ADSs will be listed on The
Nasdaq Global Market. The New Shares represent (i) approximately 11.76% of the issued share capital
of the Company as at 14 April 2010 and (ii) approximately 10.53% of the enlarged issued share
capital of the Company, assuming the ADR Offering is fully subscribed and the over-allotment option
is exercised in full.
All of the New Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the General Mandate and therefore no
further Shareholders approval is required for the ADR Offering. The Company will apply to the
Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange.
All the New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue on the date
of issue of the New Shares. The issue of the New Shares is subject to the Listing Committee of the
Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares. Save as
disclosed, the issue of the New Shares will not be subject to any condition.
Offer Price
The Offer Price is expected to be determined by agreement between the Company and the Underwriters
on or about 23 April 2010.
2
Use of proceeds
The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the ADR Offering to launch a new
domestic free television programme service in Hong Kong, and the remainder of the proceeds will be
used for general corporate purposes. If the Company is not awarded a Hong Kong domestic free
television programme service license, all of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate
purposes. The offer price for the ADR Offering and the expected net proceeds from the ADR Offering
have not been fixed as at 14 April 2010.
Listing
The ADSs will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market.
An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the
listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange. No application will be
made by the Company for the listing of the ADSs on the Stock Exchange.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ADR OFFERING
The Directors believe that the ADR Offering is the most appropriate method of raising extra funds
for the Groups future business development taking into account the Groups current working capital
requirements, the prevailing market conditions and the cost involved in the ADR Offering.
The Directors also believe that the issue of the ADSs provides an attractive investment alternative
for international investors, particularly potential investors in the United States, to invest in
the Company, which will broaden and diversify the shareholder base of the Company. The Directors
consider that the ADR Offering is in the best interests of the Shareholders as a whole.
