  • to increase the aggregate nominal amount of share capital of the Company which may be issued under the Issue Mandate by adding thereto the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

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 2019 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:

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 6,387,846,562 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Ordinary Resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the terms thereof, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company before and up to the date of the 2019 AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares a maximum of 638,784,656 Shares during the period up to the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company in 2020, or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable law to be held, or the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company, whichever of these three events occurs first.

REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole 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.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection in accordance with its memorandum of association, the Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not repurchase its own Shares 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 from time to time.

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

– 10 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2018). 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.

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 2018 2.040 1.530
February 2018 2.130 1.510
March 2018 1.960 1.670
April 2018 1.820 1.460
May 2018 1.750 1.500
June 2018 1.570 1.060
July 2018 1.180 0.890
August 2018 1.360 0.890
September 2018 1.120 0.980
October 2018 1.010 0.490
November 2018 0.640 0.485
December 2018 0.620 0.465
January 2019 (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) 0.510 0.420

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, Mr. Ho King Man Justin was recorded in the register required to be kept by the Company under section 336 of the SFO as having an interest in 1,680,920,474 Shares, representing approximately 26.31% of the issued and outstanding share

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. The said interest was held through Ruby Charm Investment Limited, a company directly wholly-owned by Mr. Ho King Man Justin.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and assuming that there is no change in the number of Shares held directly or indirectly by Mr. Ho King Man Justin, the interest of Mr. Ho King Man Justin in the Company will be increased to approximately 29.24% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately after the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase Shares to an extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. In addition, in exercising the Repurchase Mandate (whether in full or otherwise), the Directors will ensure that the Company shall comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules, including the minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

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 of association of the Company and the Articles.

DIRECTORS’ DEALINGS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted at the 2019 AGM.

CONNECTED PERSONS

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) 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.
