EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for consideration as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2017 AGM for granting the Repurchase Mandate.
This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,451,771,105 Shares.
Subject to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the terms thereof, on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company before and up to the date of 2017 AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 245,177,110 Shares.
2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange as and when required. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases of Shares will benefit the Company and the shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchase must be funded out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the Companies Law. The Company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Cayman Islands law, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital under certain circumstances. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital under certain circumstances.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
4. POSSIBLE MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT
Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 30 September 2016, being the date of its latest audited consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the appropriate working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company as they would consider from time to time.
The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
5. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Highest | Lowest | |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| January 2016 | 0.24 | 0.18 |

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could, depending on the level of such increase, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best of knowledge and belief of the Company, the following persons were directly or indirectly interested in 5% or more of the nominal value of the issued ordinary shares that carry a right to vote in all circumstances at general meetings of the Company:
| Number of | Approximate | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Issued Share | Percentage of | ||
| Name | held/interested | Shareholding | |
| (1) | Prestige Rich Holdings Limited (Note 1) | 673,622,316 | 27.47% |
| (2) | Zhang Jinbing (Note 1) | 673,622,316 | 27.47% |
| (3) | Hengdeli Holdings Limited (Note 2) | 300,000,000 | 12.24% |
| (4) | Alpha Key Investments Limited (Note 2) | 300,000,000 | 12.24% |
In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the ordinary resolution no. 5 to be proposed at the 2017 AGM, the aforesaid interests of (1) Prestige Rich Holdings Limited; (2) Zhang Jinbing; (3) Hengdeli Holdings Limited; and (4) Alpha Key Investments Limited in the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date would be proportionally increased to approximately (1) 30.53%; (2) 30.53%; (3) 13.60%; and (4) 13.60% respectively.
In view of this, such increase may give rise to an obligation to Mr. Zhang and Prestige Rich Holdings Limited to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code, subject to the granting of waiver by the executive director of the corporate finance division of Securities and Futures Commission and any delegate of the executive director pursuant to the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of the consequences of such increases as a result of repurchases of Shares that would result in the aforesaid persons or any shareholder, or group of shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. Moreover, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
Note 1: These 673,622,316 shares are registered in the name of Prestige Rich Holdings Limited, of which the entire issue share capital is wholly held by Mr. Zhang Jinbing.
Note 2: Alpha Key Investments Limited is a controlled corporation of Hengdeli Holdings Limited which is deemed to be interested in the same parcel of shares.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to the relevant resolution of the Company and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and as permitted by the regulations in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.
9. DIRECTORS’ DEALINGS
None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the 2017 AGM and exercised.
10. CONNECTED PERSONS
No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he or she has a present intention to sell any securities to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the securities held by him or her to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.
