LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS
Mr. Justin Ho is a substantial Shareholder of the Company and was appointed as a senior advisor to the Board on 13 March 2018. The Grant of Share Options to Mr. Justin Ho is to serve as an incentive for his commitment and contribution to the growth of the Group in the future.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Under Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, each grant of options to a Director, chief executive or substantial Shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective associates, must be approved by the independent non-executive Directors of the Company. The grant of the Share Options to Mr. Justin Ho has been reviewed and approved by the independent non-executive Directors.
In addition, pursuant to Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, any grant of options to a substantial Shareholder of the Company or an independent nonexecutive Director, or any of their respective associates, which would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options already granted and to be granted (including options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant (i) representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue; and (ii) having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Shares at the date of each grant, in excess of HK$5,000,000, such further grant of options must be approved by the independent shareholders of the Company in general meeting.
As the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all the Share Options granted to Mr. Justin Ho would (i) exceed 0.1% of the Shares in issue; and (ii) have an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Shares at the Date of Grant, in excess of HK$5,000,000, the Grant of Share Options to Mr. Justin Ho is subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders in the EGM with Mr. Justin Ho, his associates and all core connected persons of the Company, if any, abstaining from voting in favour at the EGM and such grant shall not take effect or be exercisable until such approval is obtained.
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, as of the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Justin Ho was interested in 1,672,920,474 Shares, representing approximately 28.29% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In addition, to the extent that the Directors were aware of having made all reasonable enquires, the following persons (in addition to Mr. Justin Ho and his close associates) are the core connected persons of the Company who were interested in the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date:
| Number of | Approximate | |

| Mr. Zhang Jinbing | 480,000 | 0.01% |
| Mr. Tam Ping Kuen Daniel | 480,000 | 0.01% |
Mr. Hiroyasu Koma is an executive Director, Mr. Zhang Jinbing is the Co-Chairman of the Board and a non-executive Director and Mr. Tam Ping Kuen Daniel is an independent nonexecutive Director.
Given the above, Mr. Justin Ho, his associates and close associates (if any), Mr. Hiroyasu Koma, Mr. Zhang Jinbing and Mr. Tam Ping Kuen Daniel shall abstain from voting in favour at the EGM on the resolution approving the Grant of Share Options.
Save as disclosed above, the Directors were not aware of any other core connected persons of the Company who were interested in the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and thus are required to abstain from voting in favour at the EGM on the resolution approving the Grant of Share Options.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware that any Shareholders had stated their intention to vote against the resolution approving the Grant of Share Options at the EGM.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
