("Asian Citrus" or "the Company") 
 
 
Dividend Payment and Scrip Dividend Offer 
 
 
Asian Citrus, the largest orange plantation owner and operator in China, 
announces the exchange rate for its 2008/09 final dividend payment and the share 
dividend price for its scrip dividend offer. 
 
 
Cash Dividend 
 
 
On 15 September 2009, Asian Citrus Holdings Limited declared a final dividend of 
RMB0.80 per share for the year ended 30 June 2009. The Company held a Special 
General Meeting on 2 November 2009 at which the shareholders of the Company 
agreed to, amongst other resolutions, sub-divide the shares of the Company with 
a nominal value of HK$0.10 per share into ten shares of HK$0.01 each (the 
"Subdivision"). As a result of the Subdivision, each share of the Company has 
now been subdivided into ten shares. To ensure that the amount to be distributed 
by dividend remains unchanged following the Subdivision, the final dividend per 
share of HK$0.01 each for the year ended 30 June 2009 is RMB0.08. 
 
 
Dividend payments will be converted to GBP at a rate of RMB11.3018 with 
reference to the Hong Kong Association of Banks on 13 November 2009 and 
shareholders should expect to receive a cash dividend of approximately 0.71 
pence per ordinary share if the proposed final dividend is approved at the 
Annual General Meeting on 11 December 2009 and it will be paid on or before 31 
December 2009. 
 
 
Scrip Dividend 
 
 
On 15 September 2009, Asian Citrus wrote to shareholders offering them a scrip 
dividend alternative to the final cash dividend for the year ended 30 June 2009. 
The offer price for the new shares to be issued under the Scrip Dividend Scheme 
is 44.95 pence. 
 
 
44.95 pence is the average of the closing share prices for the five preceding 
dealing days ended Tuesday 17 November 2009 and was calculated using the 
sterling/Chinese Yuan Renminbi with reference to the Hong Kong Association of 
Banks on 13 November 2009. 
 
 
 
 
To receive one new ordinary share under this offer, a shareholder must have 64 
or more ordinary shares as at 13 November 2009 (the "record date"). If 
insufficient ordinary shares are held and the cash value of the dividend is less 
than the price of the scrip dividend, shareholders will not be able to receive 
the scrip dividend on this occasion. 
 
 
The scrip dividend offer will be closed on 27 November 2009.
