CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE ‘‘STOCK EXCHANGE’’)

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized 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.

Given the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Dear Sirs or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES, RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

As disclosed in the Prospectus, pursuant to the resolutions in writing of the sole Shareholder passed on 15 June 2016, general unconditional mandates were given to the Directors to exercise all powers of the Company to:

  • (a) allot, issue and deal with the Shares with an aggregate nominal amount of not exceeding the sum of 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue immediately following completion of the Share Offer and the Capitalisation Issue;

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) purchase the Shares with an aggregate nominal amount of not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue immediately following completion of the Share Offer and the Capitalisation Issue; and

  • (c) add to the general mandate for issuing Shares set out in (a) above the aggregate nominal amount of Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the repurchase mandate set out in (b) above.

The above general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM, unless renewed at that meeting.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM for (i) granting the general mandates to the Directors to allot, issue, deal with new Shares and repurchase existing Shares; and (ii) the re-election of the retiring Directors.

Proposed Grant of General Mandates

Three respective ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM for the purposes of granting the general mandates to the Directors:

  • (a) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares with the aggregate nominal amount not exceeding the sum of 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue (the ‘‘Issue Mandate’’) as at the date of passing the resolution approving the Issue Mandate;

  • (b) to repurchase Shares with the aggregate nominal amount not exceeding the sum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue (the ‘‘Repurchase Mandate’’) as at the date of passing the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate; and

  • (c) to add to the general mandate for issuing Shares set out in (a) above the aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The full text of these resolutions are set out in Resolution 10 (‘‘Issue Mandate’’), Resolution 11 (‘‘Repurchase Mandate’’) and Resolution 12 in the notice of the AGM contained in pages 17 to 20 of this circular.

The aforesaid mandates, unless revoked or varied by way of ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders in general meeting, will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, which will be convened on or before 30 June 2019.

In accordance with the requirements set out in the GEM Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to Shareholders an explanatory statement containing requisite information to consider the Repurchase Mandate subject to certain restrictions, which are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy to the Company’s Branch Share Registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM or any adjournment thereof.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

Shareholders’ Approval

The GEM Listing Rules provide that all repurchase of securities by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transactions.

Share Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 480,000,000 Shares were in issue and fully paid.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 48,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the Shares in issue.

Reasons for Repurchase

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchase of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchase may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

Funding of Repurchase

Any repurchase will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purpose of making the proposed purchases in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

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 Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017) in the event that the repurchase of Shares were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the repurchase of Shares 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.

– 7 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Directors and Core Connected Persons

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective associates have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Share to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No Core Connected Persons have 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.

Directors’ Undertaking

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

Effect of the Takeovers Code

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interest of our Shareholders, could obtain or consolidate control of our Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on the information available to the Company, the Controlling Shareholder was interested in 144,004,000 Shares. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM and if the Share Repurchase Mandate of 48,000,000 Shares is fully exercised, the percentage shareholding of the Controlling Shareholder will be increased from approximately 30.0% to approximately 40.0% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase in shareholding of the Controlling Shareholder will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any other consequence under the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that the public shareholding would be reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Share Repurchase made by the Company

No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) since 12 July 2016, being the listing date, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.
