CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Dear Sir or Madam,

— 4 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the abovementioned resolutions to be prepared at the AGM.

GENERAL MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the AGM, the Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the General Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate.

General Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate (i.e. the General Mandate) to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares or underlying Shares (other than by way of rights or pursuant to a share option scheme for employees of the Company or Directors and/or any of its subsidiaries or pursuant to any scrip dividend scheme or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of whole or part of the dividend on Shares in accordance with the Bye-laws) or make or grant offers, agreements, options and warrants which might require the exercise of such power, of an aggregate amount of up to 20% of the issued Shares as at the date of granting of the General Mandate.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will be further proposed for extending the General Mandate (i.e. the Extension Mandate) authorising the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Details on the Repurchase Mandate are further elaborated below.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 831,261,212 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the General Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of granting the General Mandate, the Company would be allowed under the General Mandate to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 166,252,242 Shares.

Repurchase Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate to repurchase Shares (i.e. the Repurchase Mandate) on the Stock Exchange of an aggregate amount of up to 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had an aggregate of 831,261,212 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of granting the Repurchase Mandate, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 83,126,121 Shares.

The General Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the General Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable laws of Bermuda to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the General Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) or the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 10 June 2011. Since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme, there were 4,200,000 Options outstanding, representing 0.51% of the Company’s issued Shares, as at the Latest Practicable Date. Save for the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option schemes as at the Latest Practicable Date.

At the special general meeting held on 21 June 2016 (the “2016 SGM”), the Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed pursuant to an ordinary resolution approved by the Shareholder such that a total of 57,726,921 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of the 2016 SGM as adjusted by the share consolidations that took effect in June 2016 and January 2017) can be allotted and issued under the Share Option Scheme. Since the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit in the 2016 SGM up to the Latest Practicable Date, no Options have been granted, exercised, cancelled or lapsed.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 831,261,212 Shares in issue. In view of the increase in the number of issued Shares since the 2016 SGM as a result of the placing of new Shares, the Company is proposing to put forward a resolution to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit so as to provide more flexibility to the Company for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to the Participants for their contribution or potential contribution to the Group. The Board considers that the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, and based on the 831,261,212 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, upon the approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit, the Directors will be authorised to issue Options to subscribe for a total of 83,126,121 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

1. the passing by the Shareholders of an ordinary resolution at the general meeting of the Company to approve, among other things, the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and

2. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, 10% of the Shares in issue at the date of approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the grant of the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to Bye-law 102(B), Mr. Chan Ching Hang, shall retire from office at the AGM. Mr. Chan is eligible and will offer for re-election as executive Director.

According to Bye-law 99, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office by rotation (save any Director holding office as chairman or managing director of the Company). The retiring Directors shall be eligible for re-election. In this connection, Ms. Pang King Sze, Rufina (“Ms. Pang”) and Mr. Kenneth Hung (“Mr. Hung”) shall retire from office at the AGM. Being eligible, each of Ms. Peng and Mr. Hung will offer themselves for re-election as independent nonexecutive Directors, respectively.

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to re-elect Mr. Chan as executive Director and each of Ms. Pang and Mr. Hung as independent non-executive Directors.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorizing the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

This explanatory statement contains all information pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

1. NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH MAY BE REPURCHASED

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 831,261,212 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, would result in 83,126,121 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date), being repurchased by the Company during the period prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

2. REASONS FOR PROPOSED REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on GEM. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

The Repurchase Mandate will only be exercised when the Directors believe that such purchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. SOURCE OF FUNDS

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company will only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws, the laws of Bermuda and the GEM Listing Rules. The Company will not purchase the Shares on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

— 10 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2016, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing level of the Group.

5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

To the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquires, none of the Directors or any of their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

6. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Bye-laws, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

7. THE HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code.

As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or 32 of the Takeovers Code.

— 11 —

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Company, the following Shareholder is interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of such Shareholder(s) in the Shares would be increased to approximately the percentage set out in the last column as follows:

			Approximate
			percentage of
			shareholding
			if the
			Repurchase
		Approximate	Mandate is
	Number of	percentage of	exercised
Name of Shareholder(s)	Shares	shareholding	in full
China Wah Yan Healthcare
Limited (“China Wah Yan”)	220,953,772	26.58%	29.53%

On the basis of the current shareholdings of the above Shareholders, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not result in China Wah Yan becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 or 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of any of the above Shareholder or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

8. NO PURCHASES OF SHARES BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the previous six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

— 12 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

9. CONNECTED PERSON

No core connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

10. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on GEM during each of the previous twelve months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date as quoted on the Stock Exchange were as follows:
