Unless otherwise defined in this announcement, terms defined in the prospectus dated 20 September 2007 (the “Prospectus”)
issued by DaChan Food (Asia) Limited (the “Company”) have the same meanings when used in this
announcement.
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an invitation or offer to acquire, purchase or
subscribe for the Shares. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for detailed information about the Global Offering
described below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Shares thereby being offered.
This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent of registration or an exemption from registration under the US Securities Act, as amended. There is not, and is

In connection with the Global Offering, Cazenove Asia Limited, or any person acting for it, as stabilising manager, on behalf
of the Underwriters, may over-allocate Shares or effect any other transactions (including stock borrowing arrangements) with
a view to stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail
in the open market for a limited period after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offer.
However, there is no obligation on Cazenove Asia Limited or any person acting for it to conduct any such stabilising activity.
Any market purchases of Shares will be effected in compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including
the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilisation) Rules made under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws
of Hong Kong), and, if commenced, will be done at the absolute discretion of Cazenove Asia Limited and may be discontinued
at any time. Any such stabilising activity is required to be brought to an end within 30 days after the last day for the lodging
of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offer. The details of such stabilisation and how it will be regulated under the
Securities and Futures Ordinance are contained in the Prospectus. The number of Shares being offered in the International
Placing may be increased by up to and not more than an aggregate of 46,500,000 additional Shares through the exercise of the
Over-allotment Option to be granted by the Company and exercisable by the Global Coordinator on behalf of the International
Underwriters to cover over-allocations in the International Placing by requiring the Company to issue and allot up to an
aggregate of 46,500,000 Shares within 30 days from the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public

Application has been made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange
for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares in issue and to be issued
pursuant to the Global Offering (including any Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant
to the exercise of the Over-allotment Option), and the Shares to be issued pursuant to the
Capitalisation Issue and upon exercise of any option which may fall to be issued under the
Share Option Scheme. Dealings in the Shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange are
expected to commence at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 4 October 2007. Subject to the granting of
the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange
and the compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Shares will be
accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS
with effect from the Listing Date or any other date as determined by HKSCC. All activities
under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and the CCASS Operational
Procedures in effect from time to time.
The Global Offering comprises the Hong Kong Public Offer of initially 31,000,000 Shares
(including up to 3,100,000 Shares available for subscription by all full-time employees of the
Group) and the International Placing of initially 279,000,000 Shares. For allocation purposes
only, the total number of the Offer Shares available under the Hong Kong Public Offer will
be divided equally into two pools: pool A and pool B, both of which are available on an
equitable basis to successful applicants. The Hong Kong Offer Shares in pool A will be
allocated on an equitable basis to successful applicants who have validly applied for the
Hong Kong Offer Shares with an aggregate price of HK$5 million (excluding brokerage, SFC
transaction levy and Stock Exchange trading fee payable) or less. The Hong Kong Offer
Shares in pool B will be allocated on an equitable basis to successful applicants who have
validly applied for the Hong Kong Offer Shares with an aggregate price of more than HK$5
million (excluding brokerage, SFC transaction levy and Stock Exchange trading fee payable)
up to the total value of pool B. Applicants should be aware that applications in the two pools
may receive different allocation ratios. If the Hong Kong Offer Shares in one (but not both)
of the pools are undersubscribed, the unsubscribed Hong Kong Offer Shares will be
transferred to the other pool to satisfy demand in the other pool and be allocated accordingly.
Applicants can only receive an allocation of the Hong Kong Offer Shares from either pool
A or pool B but not from both pools. Multiple or suspected multiple applications and any
application for more than 13,950,000 Offer Shares after deducting the 3,100,000 Hong Kong
Offer Shares under the PINK Application Forms, being the number of Offer Shares initially
allocated to each pool, are liable to be rejected. Only one application on a WHITE or
YELLOW Application Form or by way of giving electronic application instructions to
HKSCC, together with any one application on a PINK Application Form for eligible
employees, may be made for the benefit of any person. In addition, each applicant is required
to undertake and confirm in the Application Form submitted by him/her/it that he/she/it and
any person(s) for whose benefit he/she/it is making the application have not applied for,
taken up or indicated an interest in, and will not apply for or take up, or indicate an interest
in, any International Placing Shares. Applications where cheques or banker’s cashier orders
are dishonoured upon first presentation are liable to be rejected.

Up to a maximum of 3,100,000 Hong Kong Public Offer Shares, representing approximately
10% of the total number of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares initially available under the Hong
Kong Public Offer, will be available for subscription by all full-time employees of the Group
(other than the chief executive or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, existing
beneficial owners of Shares and any of their respective associates and Connected Persons)
on a preferential basis. PINK Application Forms and a Prospectus can be collected from the
Company Secretary, Ms. Li Lau Lai Hing Joanna, at the Company’s head office and principal
place of business in Hong Kong at Suite 1806, Tower 1, The Gateway, No. 25 Canton Road,
Tsimshatsui, Hong Kong. Completed PINK Application Forms, together with payment
attached, must be returned to the Company Secretary, Ms. Li Lau Lai Hing Joanna, at the
Company’s head office and principal place of business in Hong Kong at Suite 1806, Tower
1, The Gateway, No. 25 Canton Road, Tsimshatsui, Hong Kong. by 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 24
September 2007. Application in excess of 3,100,000 Shares initially available to applicants
on PINK Application Forms will be rejected.
If you are a full-time employee of the Group (other than the chief executive or directors of
the Company or its subsidiaries, existing beneficial owners of Shares and any of their
respective associates and Connected Persons) and apply on a PINK Application Form, you
may also apply on a WHITE or YELLOW Application Form or by giving electronic
application instructions to HKSCC (if you are a CCASS Participant or act through a
CCASS Broker or Custodian Participants). If you apply on a PINK Application Form but the
application is not successful, the refund cheque will be sent to the Company on your behalf
on Wednesday, 3 October 2007, and the Company will arrange for onward despatch to you
at the address specified in your PINK Application Form or as otherwise notified by you to
the Company.
In connection with the Global Offering, it is expected that the Company will grant the
Over-allotment Option to the International Underwriters, exercisable by the Global
Coordinator on behalf of the International Underwriters. The Over-allotment Option gives
the International Underwriters the right exercisable by the Global Coordinator within 30 days
from the last day for lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offer, to require
the Company to allot and issue up to an aggregate of 46,500,000 additional Offer Shares,
representing approximately 15% of the initial Offer Shares, at the same price per Offer Share
under the International Placing, to, among other things, cover over-allocations in the
International Placing, if any. If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, the additional
Offer Shares will represent approximately 4.4% of the Company’s enlarged issued share
capital immediately following the completion of the Global Offering and the Capitalisation
Issue and the exercise of the Over-allotment Option. In the event that the Over-allotment
Option is exercised, a press announcement will be made.
Acceptance of all applications for the Hong Kong Offer Shares pursuant to the Hong Kong
Public Offer is conditional upon fulfillment of the conditions as stated in the section headed
“Conditions of the Hong Kong Public Offer” in the Prospectus. If the conditions are not
fulfilled or waived prior to the time and date specified, all application monies together with
the related brokerage, the Stock Exchange trading fee and SFC transaction levy received
from applicants under the Hong Kong Public Offer will be refunded, without interest, on the
terms set out under the section headed “Refund of your money” on the Application Forms and
in the section headed “Refund of application monies” in the Prospectus.

The Offer Price is expected to be fixed by agreement between the Company, the Selling
Shareholder and the Global Coordinator (on behalf of the Underwriters) on the Price
Determination Date, which is expected to be on or around Thursday, 27 September 2007 and,
in any event, not later than Saturday, 29 September 2007. Applicants for the Hong Kong
Offer Shares are required to pay, on application, the maximum offer price of HK$3.00 for
each Share together with brokerage of 1%, SFC transaction levy of 0.004% and Stock
Exchange trading fee of 0.005%. The Global Coordinator (on behalf of the Underwriters)
may, with the consent of the Company and the Selling Shareholder, reduce the indicative
offer price range below that stated in the Prospectus and/or reduce the number of Offer
Shares being offered pursuant to the Global Offering at any time on or prior to the morning
of the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offer. In such a case,
an announcement will be published in the South China Morning Post (in English) and Hong
Kong Economic Times (in Chinese) not later than the morning of the last day for lodging
applications under the Hong Kong Public Offer. Applicants under the Hong Kong Public
Offer should note that in no circumstances can applications be withdrawn once submitted,
even if the indicative offer price range and/or the number of Offer Shares is so reduced. If,
for any reason, the Offer Price is not agreed between the Company, the Selling Shareholder
and the Global Coordinator (on behalf of the Underwriters) by Saturday, 29 September 2007,
the Global Offering will not become unconditional and will lapse. If the final Offer Price is
lower than the maximum price of HK$3.00, appropriate refund payments (including
brokerage, SFC transaction levy and Stock Exchange trading fee) in respect of the excess
application monies will be made to successful applicants, without interest as set out in the
Prospectus.
In connection with the Global Offering, Cazenove Asia Limited, or any person acting for it,
as stabilising manager, on behalf of the Underwriters, may over-allocate Shares or effect any
other transactions (including stock borrowing arrangements) with a view to stabilising or
maintaining the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise
prevail in the open market for a limited period after the last day for the lodging of
applications under the Hong Kong Public Offer. However, there is no obligation on Cazenove
Asia Limited or any person acting for it to conduct any such stabilising activity. Any market
purchases of Shares will be effected in compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory
requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilisation) Rules made under the
Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong), and, if commenced,
will be done at the absolute discretion of Cazenove Asia Limited and may be discontinued
at any time. Any such stabilizing activity is required to be brought to an end within 30 days
after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offer. The
details of such stabilisation and how it will be regulated under the Securities and Futures
Ordinance are contained in the Prospectus.
