ANNOUNCEMENT AND RESUMPTION OF THE TRADING
PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES

E. Bon Holdings Limited (“the Company”) and all members of the board of directors warrant that the
information contained in this announcement is truthful, accurate and complete, and jointly accept full
responsibility for any false representations or misleading statements contained in, or material omissions
from, this announcement.
This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09 (1) of the Listing Rules of
A. PROPOSED BONUS ISSUES

1. It was announced on 10 December 2007 and 11 December 2007 respectively (collectively the
“Announcement”) that the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) recommended that a
bonus issue of new shares of the Company (individually a “Bonus Share” and collectively the
“Bonus Shares”) to the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) on the basis of one
(1) Bonus Share of HK$0.1 for every twenty (20) existing issued ordinary share of HK$0.1
held by the Shareholder by way of dividend and Bonus Shares would be issued on 18 January
2008 whose names appear on the Register of Members of the Company as at the close of
business of 2 January 2008 (the “Proposed Bonus Issue”) and such proposed Bonus Shares
would be issued and credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu with the then issued shares
in all respects with effect from the date of issue except that they are not entitled to the
proposed interim dividend for the six months ended 30 September 2007.
2. In pursuance of the Announcement, on 17 January 2008, the Company announced that it set
out the timetable and stated clearly that the Proposed Bonus Issue is subject to the conditions
that (i) ordinary resolution being passed by the shareholders of the Company to approve the
Bonus Issues and (ii) Listing of and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares being granted by
the Listing Committee of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

3. However, it was wrongly stated that “to qualify for the Bonus Share, any transfer of the issued
shares (the “Share”) must be lodged for registration by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday 20 February
2008. The register of members would be closed from Thursday, 21 February to Wednesday, 27
February 2008, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares would be
effected.” The actual record date for the determination of the entitlements of the Bonus Issue
was at all material times and is and must be 2 January 2008. The register of the members was
closed between 27 December 2007 to 2 January 2008.
4. In the circumstances, in the morning of 18 January 2008, some investors have expressed
concern as to the ambiguity of the record date as a result of the 17 January 2008 announcement
as it appears to have two record dates for the purpose of the Proposed Bonus Issue. The
Company requested the suspension of the trading in the ordinary shares of the Company with
effect from at 11:52 a.m. on 18 January 2008 pending the release of this announcement.
5. This announcement serves to clarify that the Company hereby amends the 17 January 2008
announcement that the record date for the Proposed Bonus Issue is “the close of the business
on 2 January 2008.” Subject to the fulfillment of the two conditions, namely approval of the
shareholders and of the Listing Committee of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, to
qualify for the Bonus Issue, any transfer of the Share must have been lodged for registration
by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 24 December 2007 and only those members who were on the list of
register on close of business of 2 January 2008 shall be entitled to attend and vote at the
Extraordinary General Meeting and to the Bonus Shares in accordance with the following
timetable (as amended).

This Announcement hereby amends the timetable of 17 January 2008 announcement of the Company.
The amended timetable will not be changed except under statutory or regulatory requirements. The
Company hereby confirms that no change shall ever be made to the items: “the latest time for the
lodging of the transfer forms of shares to qualify for entitlements to the Bonus Issue” and “the
closure of register of members (both days inclusive)” (i.e. the book closed date will not be changed
under any circumstances). The Bonus Issue is subject to fulfillment of all conditions. Furthermore,
there is no guarantee that the Proposed Bonus Issue will be passed by the shareholders in the
extraordinary general meeting on 28 February 2008.
B. CIRCULAR

A circular containing, among other things, further information on the issue of the Bonus Shares, the
enquiry and the explanation for the exclusion of Overseas Shareholders, the issue of the certificate
of the Bonus Shares together with the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be despatched
to the shareholders who were on the list of register on the close of business of 2 January 2008 as
soon as practicable.
C. POTENTIAL/CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The confusion might give rise to the potential liability from those who traded the shares of the
Company in the morning of the 18 January 2008 even though it was clearly stated in the 17 January
2008 announcement that the Bonus Issue is subject to the conditions and that the expected timetable
is subject to change. The records show that a total of 248,000 shares were traded in that morning.
The Company is of the view that even if (which is not admitted), it is liable to those who traded the
Shares in the morning of 18 January 2008, the potential liability, if any, would be very minimal
which amounts to the maximum of 12,400 bonus shares in question which translates into about
HK$11,904.00 (by using the closing quoted share price of the Company on 18 January 2008, which
was HK$0.96 per share).
However, the Company does care and take the concern and interest of those members, who acquired
the shares on 18 January 2008 into consideration and therefore it is prepared to make a payment in
lieu of the issue of the (one) bonus shares to every twenty (20) Shares to them if they submit their
case (with documentary support that he/she did acquire the Shares in question in the morning of 18
January 2008) to the Company Secretary of the Company on or before 28 February 2008. Payment
would be made to them on 12 March 2008 based on the average price of the close of business of the
preceding 5 working days before 11 March 2008 (i.e. the day before the first date of the trading of
the Bonus Shares).
Although the Company considers that the contingent liability arising from the 17 January
announcement is very minimal, nevertheless, the Shareholders and potential investors are advised to
exercise caution in dealing in the Shares of the Company.
