(Stock Code: 273) CHANGE OF DIRECTOR'S INFORMATION

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.51B(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").
The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of Willie International Holdings Limited (the "Company" together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") was informed by Mr. Yau Yan Ming Raymond ("Mr. Yau"), an independent non-executive director of the Company, on
3 January 2013 that he was criticised by the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Committee") as mentioned in its news release issued on 19 September 2012 in relation to the breaches of certain provisions of the Listing Rules while acting as an independent non-executive director of Birmingham International Holdings Limited ("Birmingham International", a company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, stock code: 2309). According to the said news release, the Listing Committee concluded that Mr. Yau, as an independent non-executive director of Birmingham International, and certain other directors of Birmingham International were, during the relevant period, in breach of the "Director 's Declaration and Undertaking" given by them to the Stock Exchange pursuant to the Listing Rules for failing to use their best endeavours to procure Birmingham International to comply with the Listing Rules. The related news release of the Stock Exchange can be found under the "HKEx News Release" section of the website of the Stock Exchange.
The Board believes that the above matter does not have any impact on the business operations of the Group.
