LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM for the proposed grant of the General Mandate (including the extended General Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate, the proposed reelection of Directors and the notice of the AGM.

BACKGROUND

On 30 May 2018, resolutions were passed by the then Shareholders granting general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to:

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

The above general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM and the purpose of this circular is to request the approval of the Shareholders to renew the general mandate as referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above in the AGM on 31 May 2019.

GENERAL MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the AGM, the Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the General Mandate (including the extended General Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate.

General Mandate

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 800,000,000 Shares. At the AGM, it will be proposed, by way of ordinary resolution, that the Directors be given a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with the Shares up to 20% of the total number of issued Shares on the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution (i.e. the General Mandate). Assuming that the number of issued Shares remains at 800,000,000 Shares on the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the General Mandate will be 160,000,000 Shares. In addition, it is further proposed, by way of a separate ordinary resolution that the General Mandate be extended by adding the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate. Any issue of new Shares in the Company is subject to approval from the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in such new Shares.

Assuming that the number of issued Shares remains at 800,000,000 Shares on the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the General Mandate will be 80,000,000 Shares.

The Repurchase Mandate, if approved, will continue to be in force until the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Law (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands or the Articles to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) the Repurchase Mandate being revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting, whichever occurs first.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CORE CONNECTED PARTIES

The Listing Rules prohibit the Company from knowingly purchasing its securities on the Stock Exchange from a ‘‘core connected person’’, that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) and a core connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling to the Company his/her/its securities of the Company.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is passed.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 800,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the existing issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the AGM, that is, 800,000,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 80,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of the AGM.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the Cayman Islands law and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company for such purpose.

– 10 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

8. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As a result, a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert (within that term’s meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

Notes:

  1. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of the issued Shares was 800,000,000 Shares.

  2. The entire issued share capital in Huada is legally and beneficially owned as to 80% by Mr. Yang and 20% by his spouse, Ms. Chao.

Mr. Liu is deemed to be interested in all the Shares in which Ms. Han is interested in under Part XV of the SFO.

On the basis of the current shareholdings of the above Shareholders, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not result in them becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of the above Shareholders, or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code. In addition, the Company do not have any intention to exercise Repurchase Mandate to the effect that it will result in the public float to fall below the percentage as required under the Listing Rules or such other minimum percentage agreed by the Stock Exchange from time to time.
