The EGM will be held to authorise the Board to allot ordinary shares in the Company (the "Ordinary Shares") so as to discharge its existing obligations in respect of the acquisition of Kepu Electronic Technology (Shenzhen) Company Limited ("Kepu") (the "Allotment") (the "Acquisition"), as announced on 1 May 2007. Under the terms of the Acquisition agreement, the purchase consideration for the Acquisition would be satisfied by the allotment of 19,320,000 Ordinary Shares to Sun Wah Enterprise Investment Holdings Limited ("Sun Wah"), the vendor in addition to RMB 15 million, paid in cash.
To undertake the Allotment on a non pre-emptive basis, Article 8 of the Company's articles of association must be disapplied, requiring Shareholder approval.
Additionally, the directors have expended the existing mandate, which allowed them to allot up to 57,480,985 Ordinary Shares on a non pre-emptive basis, equal to 22.84 per cent. of the enlarged share capital as it will be following such issue, granted at the annual general meeting on 6 August 2009, a fresh mandate will be sought to allow the Board to fulfill the Company's commercial objectives.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting, as they intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings, which in aggregate amount to 103,206,163 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 29.08 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital.

Notes to Editors:
LED International Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries specialise in the development, manufacture and sale of low powered / low maintenance LED screens and other LED products such as outdoor signs, lamps, lighting and building illumination. The screens are manufactured in a 'building block' format to a specific design, which allows screens to be assembled to suit a customer's size and definition specifications.
This design also ensures that the screens are relatively easy to transport and assemble. Based in Hong Kong, the Company's primary market has been the People's Republic of China ('PRC'), but it has also supplied end products to Macau, Japan and the USA. Part of the Company's strategy in 2007 was to widen its customer base to markets outside PRC.
The Company was originally listed on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange, on 23 October 2006. For more information, please visit: http://www.led-intl.com
