2. PROPOSED GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS UNDER THE SUBSIDIARY SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 20 July 2018 in relation to, among others, the grant of Share Options to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu. On 17 July 2018, the board of directors of isBIM resolved to conditionally grant 800 Share Options to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu to subscribe for, at an exercise price of approximately HK$3,500 per isBIM Share, a total of 800 isBIM Shares, representing approximately 4.00% of the number of isBIM Shares in issue and approximately 3.64% of the number of enlarged isBIM Shares (assuming that all Share Options are fully exercised before adjustment) as at the Date of Proposed Grant. The Proposed Grant is determined by the directors of isBIM based on the contributions made by Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu to isBIM with reference to commitment in performing their duties and contributions to the development and performance of isBIM. Details of the Share Options proposed to be granted to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu are as follow:

For details of such shareholders’ agreement, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 22 November 2017.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Terms of the Proposed Grant

The terms of the Proposed Grant shall follow the terms of the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme. The Share Options are subject to the following specific terms:

  • (a) The exercise price of the Share Options under the Proposed Grant has been fixed at HK$3,500 per isBIM Share and was determined in accordance with the value of isBIM, its business performance and the contribution of the Grantees to isBIM. The exercise price was also in line with the consideration paid by the Company in its acquisition of 49% equity interest in isBIM on 29 November 2017, whereby such consideration was referenced to the market value of isBIM previously valued by an independent professional valuer.

  • (b) The Share Options shall have a validity period from the date upon obtaining the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM for the Proposed Grant to 19 July 2022 (both dates inclusive), subject to the vesting conditions as stated in the offer letter and the provisions for early termination contained in the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme.

  • (c) The Share Options shall be vested and exercisable from 20 July 2020 to 19 July 2022 (both dates inclusive).

  • (d) There is no performance target to be fulfilled before the Share Options can be exercised.

  • (e) Upon acceptance of the Proposed Grant, each of Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu shall pay HK$1.00 to isBIM as consideration for the grant. Payment must be made within 21 days from the date of the offer letter issued pursuant to the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme.

The isBIM Shares to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the Share Options will be subject to the articles of association of isBIM and will rank pari passu among themselves and with the fully-paid isBIM Shares in issue as from the date of allotment, including voting rights, entitlement to dividends, transfer and other rights (including those arising on liquidation of isBIM). The Share Options themselves, however, do not carry any right to voting, dividend, transfer or other rights (including those arising on the liquidation of isBIM) prior to their being exercised and the underlying isBIM Shares being issued.

The proposed grant of Share Options to each of Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu has been approved by the independent non-executive Directors in accordance with Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules. Each of Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu has abstained from voting in the relevant Board meeting approving the resolution(s) relating to the proposed grant to himself, respectively.

The Proposed Grant is conditional upon the Shareholders passing ordinary resolutions to approve the Proposed Grant at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for the Proposed Grant

The purpose of the Proposed Grant is to provide incentives and rewards to recognise the significant efforts and contribution to the development of isBIM by the key persons. For the upcoming fast development period, the devotion and performance of Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu are the keys to success of isBIM. The Board considers that the above purpose can be achieved by granting the Share Options as proposed as it demonstrates to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu that their efforts and contributions to isBIM are valued and will be rewarded. In determining the number of Share Options proposed to be granted to each of Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu, the Board also reviewed the value of the Share Options to be granted. In particular, the number of Share Options reflect the level of work commitment required for the respective positions of Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu in isBIM. Mr. Liang is responsible for, among other responsibilities, the overall strategic plan and development of isBIM. Mr. Fu is responsible for providing leadership and governance of the board of directors of isBIM and playing a full and constructive part in the development and determination of isBIM’s strategies and policies. The Board considers that the Proposed Grant provides an opportunity to them to acquire proprietary interests in isBIM and will encourage them to work towards enhancing the value of isBIM and its shares for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The vesting schedule of the Share Options also serves to retain Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu who are considered to be valuable to isBIM and as an incentive for their continuing commitment and contribution to the growth of isBIM in the future by further aligning the long-term interests of isBIM with them. The Board also believes that the Proposed Grant is an appropriate way to reward and encourage the ongoing performance of isBIM in achieving the goals of the Group without imposing substantial financial burden on the Group.

3. PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company adopted the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed on 6 June 2018. The Subsidiary Share Option Scheme is designed to provide isBIM with the flexibility of granting Share Options to its directors, employees and other persons as incentives or rewards for their contribution or potential contribution to isBIM, its Subsidiaries and any Invested Entity. Apart from the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme, isBIM had no other share option scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Pursuant to the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme and in compliance with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, the maximum number of isBIM Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Share Options to be granted under the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme and any other scheme(s) of isBIM (if any) shall not in aggregate exceed 2,000 isBIM Shares, i.e. 10% of the total number of isBIM Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme. The Scheme Mandate Limit may be refreshed by both the Shareholders and the shareholders of isBIM in their general meetings from time to time provided that:

  • (a) the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of isBIM Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit;

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) share options previously granted under the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) adopted by isBIM (including those outstanding, cancelled or lapsed in accordance with the relevant scheme or exercised share options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit to be refreshed; and

  • (c) the total number of isBIM Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all share options granted and yet to be exercised under the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme or any other share option scheme(s) adopted by isBIM must not exceed 30% of the isBIM Shares in issue from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, isBIM has granted a total of 2,000 Share Options (including the Share Options granted conditionally to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu which are subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM) since 6 June 2018 representing approximately 10% of the isBIM Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. None of the Share Options so far granted have been exercised, cancelled and/or lapsed. Unless the Scheme Mandate Limit is refreshed, no further Share Option would be allowed to be granted. The Scheme Mandate Limit has not been previously refreshed by isBIM since its adoption.

In order for the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme to continue to properly serve its purpose, which is to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentive to eligible participants for their contribution to isBIM and to promote the success of the business of isBIM, the directors of isBIM believe that it is necessary to implement the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit. The Directors concur with the view of the directors of isBIM and believe that the future development and success of isBIM and the appropriate reward and motivation of the participants are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on 20,000 isBIM Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further isBIM Shares will be issued and bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM, if the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is approved at the EGM, the Scheme Mandate Limit will be refreshed to 2,000 isBIM Shares and isBIM will be allowed to grant share options under the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of isBIM (if any) entitling holders thereof to subscribe for a maximum of 2,000 isBIM Shares, representing 10% of the isBIM Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As mentioned in the above paragraph, the Scheme Mandate Limit so refreshed is 2,000 which, together with the outstanding Share Options with rights to subscribe for 2,000 isBIM Shares, representing approximately 20% of the issued share capital of isBIM as at the Latest Practicable Date and accordingly, does not exceed the 30% limit as at the Latest Practicable Date.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the EGM by the Shareholders, being the holding company of isBIM pursuant to the requirements of Rule 17.01(4) of the Listing Rules.

The shares to be issued upon exercise of the Share Options will be the isBIM Shares and not the shares of the Company. The isBIM Shares are not listed. There is no trustee regime under the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme, as such, none of the Directors are trustees of the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme or have a direct or indirect interests in the trustee.

Assuming (i) all the Share Options under the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit are granted to persons other than the Company; and (ii) upon exercise of such share options under the proposed refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit and the previously granted Share Options (including the Share Options granted conditionally to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu which are subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM) in full, and there is no change in the share capital of isBIM between the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of exercise of all the Share Options in full, the Company’s interests in isBIM will be diluted from approximately 49.0% to approximately 44.55%. Having said that, isBIM will continue to be a Subsidiary of the Company as the Company will continue to control the board of directors of isBIM based on a shareholders’ agreement dated 29 November 2017 signed by the Company, Mr. Li, Liang Ming Industrial Limited and isBIM. For details of such shareholders’ agreement, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 22 November 2017. The Board has computed the percentage ratios in respect of the full exercise of Share Options under the Scheme Mandate Limit based on figures in the latest audited accounts of the Company and isBIM, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2017. As the applicable percentage ratios of the exercise of all share options under the proposed refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit are less than 5%, it does not constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company, and is therefore not subject to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Board will continue to monitor the performance of isBIM, if the percentage ratios of the exercise of Share Options granted under the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme have significant change and become a notifiable transaction under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, the Company will comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquires, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder has a material interest in the proposed refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit which requires him/her/it to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules on the proposed ordinary resolution in respect of the proposed refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit at the EGM.

4. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules, where any grant of options to a participant would result in the shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options granted and to be granted to such person (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

aggregate over 1% of the shares in issue, such grant of options must be separately approved by shareholders of the listed issuer in general meeting with such participant and his close associates (or his associates if the participant is a connected person) abstaining from voting.

Pursuant to Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Subsidiary Share Option Scheme, any grant of options to a substantial shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) or an independent non-executive 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) (where the securities are listed on the Stock Exchange) having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the shares at the date of each grant, in excess of HK$5.0 million, such further grant of options must be approved by the Independent Shareholders in general meeting.

Given that (a) the total number of isBIM Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Share Options offered to be granted to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu, each represents in aggregate over 0.1% of the isBIM Shares in issue; and (b) the total number of isBIM Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Share Options to be granted to Mr. Fu would in a 12-month period exceed 1% of the isBIM Shares in issue, pursuant to the Listing Rules, the grant of the Share Options to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu is conditional upon the approval by the Shareholders at the EGM. Pursuant to Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules, the grant of Share Options to Mr. Liang and Mr. Fu are subject to the approval of Independent Shareholders at the EGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Liang and his associates and Mr. Fu and his associates were also interested in 74,302,000 Shares and 33,646,000 Shares, respectively (representing approximately 25.77% and 11.67%, respectively of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date). To the extent that it is aware by the Board having made all reasonable enquires, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wang Jun You and his associates, Mr. Ma Kwai Lam Lambert and his associates and Beijing Design Group Company Limited and its associates were core connected persons and shall abstain from voting in favour at the EGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wang Jun You and his associates, Mr. Ma Kwai Lam Lambert and his associates and Beijing Design Group Company Limited and its associates were interested in 14,590,000 Shares, 250,000 Shares and 79,473,780 Shares, respectively (representing approximately 5.06%, 0.08% and 27.57%, respectively of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Shareholders who are required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution(s) approving the Proposed Grant have given the Company notice of their intention to vote against the resolution at the EGM.

5. EGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
