LETTER FROM THE BOARD

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of certain resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for (i) the re-election of the retiring Directors; (ii) the granting to the Directors of the Share Repurchase Mandate and the Share Issue Mandate to repurchase Shares and to issue Shares respectively; (iii) the Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit; and (iv) the increase in authorised share capital.

2. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 84 of the Articles of Association, Ms. Wu Jing, Mr. Gu Weiwen and Mr. Zhang Jian shall retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election.

In accordance with Article 83(3) of the Articles of Association, Ms. Lung Yuet Kwan and Ms. Zhang Xiaohan who were appointed as Directors during the period after the 2017 annual general meeting held on 23 May 2017, shall hold office until the Annual General Meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election.

All of the above retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Ms. Lung Yuet Kwan, Ms. Zhang Xiaohan and Mr. Hui Yat On, independent nonexecutive Directors, have confirmed their independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Company considers Ms. Lung Yuet Kwan, Ms. Zhang Xiaohan and Mr. Hui Yat On are still independent in accordance with the independence guidelines as set out in the Listing Rules and will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning.

Details of the retiring Directors are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATES TO REPURCHASE AND ISSUE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 23 May 2017, general mandates were granted to the Directors to repurchase and issue Shares respectively. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase and issue Shares if and when appropriate, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve:

  • (a) the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 9 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 19 to 24 of this circular (i.e. a total of 229,337,488 Shares on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting);

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) the granting of the Share Issue Mandate to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with additional Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 10 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 19 to 24 of this circular (i.e. a total of 458,674,977 Shares on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting); and

  • (c) the extension of the general mandate to be granted to the Directors to increase the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Share Issue Mandate by an additional number representing such number of Shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Mandate.

Each of the Share Repurchase Mandate and Share Issue Mandate, if granted, will continue in force until (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 Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date on which the Share Repurchase Mandate or the Share Issue Mandate, as the case may be, is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is the earlier.

With reference to the Share Repurchase Mandate and Share Issue Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase any Shares or issue any new Shares pursuant thereto.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF SHARE OPTION SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Share Option Scheme was conditionally adopted by the Company on 9 December 2013 and came into effect on 30 December 2013. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant options to eligible participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Group.

Pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under a share option scheme and any other schemes of a listed issuer must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities of the listed issuer in issue as at the date of approval of the scheme. The listed issuer may seek approval by its shareholders in general meeting for ‘‘refreshing’’ the 10% limit under the scheme. However, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under all of the schemes of the listed issuer under the limit as ‘‘refreshed’’ must not exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit. Options previously granted under the schemes (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as ‘‘refreshed’’. The Listing Rules also provide

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

that the limit on the number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the scheme and any other schemes must not exceed 30% of the relevant class of securities of the listed issuer in issue from time to time.

The total number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of all share options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme was 133,333,400 (the ‘‘Existing Scheme Mandate Limit’’), representing 10% of the total of 1,333,334,000 Shares in issue at the time of the Shares commenced dealing on the Stock Exchange in December 2013. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, options carrying the rights to subscribe for 133,333,400 Shares have been granted under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit, of which no share options were exercised and no share options were forfeited/lapsed and 133,333,400 share options were outstanding (entitling holders thereof to subscribe for up to a total of 133,333,400 Shares, representing approximately 5.814% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date).

Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has conditionally adopted the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme on 9 December 2013 (which became unconditional on 30 December 2013) for the purpose of recognizing the contribution of certain employees or executive officers of the Group. The Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme will remain in force for 42 months from the date of listing unless otherwise cancelled or amended. Please refer to the 2013 annual report of the Company for details. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of new Shares which may be issued pursuant thereto is 1,066,669, representing approximately 0.047% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As at the Latest Practical Date, no refreshment of the total number of Shares which may be issued under either the Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme or the Share Option Scheme has been sought by the Company.

Save as disclosed above, there were no other share options outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of new Shares which may be issued pursuant to both Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme and Share Option Scheme amounted to 134,400,069 Shares, representing approximately 5.86% of the total number of issuesd Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Directors therefore consider that the Company should refresh the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit as this will enable the Company to grant further share options to eligible participants, being any employee, executive or officer of the Group (including executive, nonexecutive and independent non-executive directors of the Group) and any advisers, consultants, suppliers, customers or agent who, at the sole discretion of the Board, will contribute or has contributed to the Group as incentives or rewards for their valuable contribution and efforts made in promoting the interests of the Group.

Proposal

It is therefore proposed that subject to (i) the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and (ii) such other requirements as prescribed under the Listing Rules being fulfilled, the general limit on the grant of share options under the Share Option Scheme will be refreshed to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the approval by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (i.e. the Refreshment of

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Scheme Mandate Limit), and the share options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with such scheme(s) or exercised share options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the scheme limit as refreshed.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 2,293,374,885 Shares in issue. Assuming that no further Share will be issued prior to the Annual General Meeting and the said refreshment is approved at the Annual General Meeting, then the maximum number of Shares that can be allotted and issued upon the exercise of share options which may be granted by the Company pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the proposed Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit would be 229,337,488, being 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the said refreshment at the Annual General Meeting. Together with the total of 134,400,069 outstanding share options as at the Latest Practicable Date, representing approximately 5.86% of the total number of issued Shares, the Company will be allowed to allot and issue a maximum of 363,737,557 Shares (representing approximately 15.86% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) upon the exercise of share option which may be/have been granted by the Company under the Share Option Scheme and Pre-IPO Share Option Scheme, which will not exceed the overall limit 30% of the issued Shares.

Conditions

As required by the Share Option Scheme and the Listing Rules, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit.

The Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution at the Annual General Meeting to approve the said refreshment; and

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares to be allotted and issued upon exercise of any share options that may be granted under the refreshed limit the Share Option Scheme up to 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution of the Annual General Meeting.

Application for listing

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, new Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon exercise of any share options that may be granted under the refreshed limit of the Share Option Scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

5. PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

Reference is made to the Company’s announcement of 30 March 2018 in which the Company proposed to convent an extraordinary general meeting of the Company for the propose of approving, inter alia, the transactions contemplated under the Increase in Authorised Share Capital. Given that the Annual General Meeting will be convened on Thursday, 14 June 2018, the Board proposes to transact the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital in the Annual General Meeting instead of in an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

As the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$30,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each of which the unissued Shares are 706,625,115 Shares.

If the Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit is approved in the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to allot and issue a maximum of 363,737,557 Shares. If the proposed granting of general mandates to issue additional Shares as stated in section 3 of this letter from the Board is approved at the Annual General Meeting, the Company may further allot and issue a maximum of 458,674,977 Shares (on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting). Therefore, the maximum number of Shares that may be required to issue and allotte will be 822,412,534 Shares, resulting in a short fall of a maximum of 115,787,419 Shares.

As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 30 March 2018, the Company entered into a placing agreement, pursuant to which the Company proposes to issue convertible bonds under specific mandate (convertible into maximum of 900,000,000 conversion shares to be issued by the Company). As the 706,625,115 unissued Shares fall short of the maximum of 193,374,885 conversations shares that may be allotted and issued upon conversion of the said convertible bonds, the Company further proposes to increase its authorized share capital. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 4 May 2018, the Company had received letter from the Stock Exchange about the proposed placing of convertible bonds, and the Company is now in the course of considering the possibility of modifying the overall structure of the said placing.

In any event, even if the Company does not take into account of the proposed placing, there is still a shortfall of 115,787,419 Shares if the Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit and the Share Issue Mandate are approved at the Annual General Meeting (as mentioned above).

In light of the above, in order to provide the Company with greater flexibly to raise funds by alloting and issuing shares in future and to allow future growth and expansion of the Group as and when necessary, the Board proposes to increase its authorised share capital from HK$30,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each to HK$50,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each by the creation of an additional 2,000,000,000 unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each, which upon issue shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Shares (i.e. the Increase in Authorised Share Capital).

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital is subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

6. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 19 to 24 of this circular.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. An announcement on the poll vote results will be published by the Company after the Annual General Meeting in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.artgo.cn). To be valid, the form of proxy must be completed and signed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposited, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or authority at the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,293,374,885 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 9 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total number of 229,337,488 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the 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 a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Companies Law and any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the financial position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2017) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months up to and including the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
April 2017 1.21 1.05
May 2017 1.20 0.94
June 2017 1.09 0.90
July 2017 1.18 0.96
August 2017 1.02 0.87
September 2017 1.01 0.80

March 2018 0.75 0.52
April 2018 0.61 0.35
May 2018 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.50 0.44

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Companies Law and all other applicable laws.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the

– 17 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Company, Dr. Leung Ka Kit and his parties acting in concert are interested in 580,832,840 Shares representing approximately 25.32% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, (if the present shareholdings otherwise remain the same) the interests of Dr. Leung Ka Kit and his parties acting in concert would be increased to approximately 28.14% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation of Dr. Leung and his parties acting in concert to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and do not propose or intend to repurchase Shares which could result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares had been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months ended on the Latest Practicable Date.
