Attention: The Directors

Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), is a holder of record of shares of China Yuchai International Limited (the “Company”). DTC is informed by its Participant, Goldman Sachs & Co (the “Participant”), that on the date hereof 450,340 and 524,418 of such shares (the total of which is 974,758 hereafter, the “Shares”) credited to Participant’s DTC account are beneficially owned by Quasar Global Opportunity Fund, L.P. and Quasar Global Opportunity Fund International Ltd., respectively, customers of Participant.

At the request of Participant, on behalf of Quasar Global Opportunity Fund, L.P. and Quasar Global Opportunity Fund International Ltd., Cede & Co., as a holder of record of the above shares, hereby request that you call a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company pursuant to section 74 Companies Act 1981. You will also be receiving several other letters of like form to this which all together will represent more than 10% of the paid up capital of the Company carrying the right to vote. The purpose of the meeting is to consider the following:

1. Amendments to be enacted to the bye-laws to remove the Special Share provision and all related provisions.

2. Immediate removal of Mr. Teo Tong Kooi as an officer and director of the Company and the appointment of a CEO who is qualified and competent to serve in that capacity at a company which is publicly listed in the United States.

3. Immediate removal of Mr. Tan Aik-Leang as Audit Committee Chairman and as a director of the Company.

Mr. Tan Aik-Leang has also failed in his duty as an independent director to act in the best interests of the public shareholders.

4. Amendments to be enacted to the bye-laws to permit the appointment of two independent directors by the holders of shareholders who do not have any direct or indirect interest in the Special Share, nor are connected in any way with Coomber, Goldman, Zhong Lin, the State Holding Company or Yulin City Government, in order to improve governance and represent the interests of the public shareholders.
