The share issue mandate is subject to a limit equal to 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing the resolution.

GENERAL MANDATE FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

Subject to the passing at the AGM of the proposed resolutions regarding the share issue mandate and the repurchase mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the extension of the 20% share issue mandate, i.e. 550,976,499 Shares (assuming 2,066,161,872 Rights Shares issued and allotted on 15 March 2017, which will result in the total number of issued Shares being 2,754,882,496 Shares, and no further shares issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM), by adding to the share issue mandate the number of shares that may be repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 10 December 2013. In accordance with the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the Share Option Scheme. The Scheme Mandate Limit may be refreshed by the Shareholders in general meeting in accordance with the rules of the Share Option Scheme. At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 10 December 2013, the Share Option Scheme was adopted pursuant to which the Company was authorised to grant Options to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 15,139,302 ordinary shares of nominal value of HK$0.001 each in the share capital of the Company, representing 10% of the number of Shares then in issue. No option, which was issued under the share option scheme adopted by the Company on 30 September 2003 and expired on 29 September 2013 is outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date, and 313,000,000 Options were granted by the Company to Participants under the Share Option Scheme on 21 November 2016 and fully exercised on 28 November 2016, which resulted in 313,000,000 Pre-consolidated Shares issued and allotted. No other Option was granted by the Company to Participants under the Share Option Scheme up to the Latest Practicable Date. At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 3 February 2016, the Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed pursuant to which the Company was authorised to grant Options to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 313,060,190 Pre-consolidated Shares representing 10% of the number of Pre-consolidated Shares then in issue. As mentioned above, 313,000,000 Options were granted before the Share Consolidation on 21 November 2016, 12,038 Options (equivalent to 60,190 Options before Share Consolidation), which represent approximately 0.002% of the issued share capital of the Company, remained ungranted as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Save as aforesaid, no Options were granted, lapsed, exercised or cancelled during the period from the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme to the Latest Practicable Date, and there is no outstanding Option granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had an aggregate of 688,720,624 Shares in issue and assuming no additional Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the AGM, it is expected that, upon the approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme at the AGM, the Directors will be authorised to grant Options to subscribe up to 275,488,249 Shares, representing 10% of the sum of the number of Shares in issue of 688,720,624 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and 2,066,161,872 Rights Shares expected to be allotted and issued on 15 March 2017 (assuming no further Shares issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM), totalling 2,754,882,496 Shares. The Board proposes to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit in the AGM so as to enable the Company to grant further Options to Participants.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors believe that more Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme can provide more incentive and rewards to Participants for their contribution and continuing efforts to promote the interest of the Company and enhance the value of the Shares.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the Share Option Scheme or exercised Options) will not be counted for purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed. The Directors consider that such refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The limit on the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company must not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No Options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company if this will result in the limit being exceeded.

The proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  1. the passing of the ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme; and

  2. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice of the AGM is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The following explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the forthcoming AGM authorizing the Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date the issued and fully paid up share capital of the Company comprised 688,720,624 Shares. Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, if so approved, on the basis that no further shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the approval of the Repurchase Mandate in addition to 2,066,161,872 Rights Shares expected to be allotted and issued on 15 March 2017, the Company would be allowed under the repurchase resolution to repurchase a maximum of 275,488,249 Shares during the period from the date on which such resolution is passed until the date of: (i) conclusion of the next AGM of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or removal of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first, representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the mandate will provide the Company the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchase may enhance the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share.

GENERAL

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 30 September 2016 (being the date of its latest published audited financial statements), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed purchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed purchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to make any purchase to such an extent as would in the circumstances have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Repurchases must be made of the funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. The Companies laws of the Cayman Islands (‘‘Laws’’) provide that a share repurchase by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose or, if so authorized by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital. Any

premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares repurchased or conditionally or unconditionally to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account or, if so authorized by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the period of six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares had been repurchased by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

SHARE PRICES

During the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date, the highest and lowest traded prices for Shares on the Stock Exchange were as follows:

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange, so far as the same may be applicable, to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the regulations set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company. None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable inquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any securities to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders. No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor have they undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to 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 could, depending on the level of increase of Shareholders’ interest, 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. The Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on disclosures made under Part XV of the SFO and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, there were no substantial Shareholders. If the Directors exercise in full the powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, it would not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

Mr. Lam is entitled to a director’s fee in the amount of HK$120,000 per annum, which is determined by reference to his duties and responsibilities with the Company, the experience of Mr. Lam and the prevailing practice in the market. Mr. Lam does not have a service agreement with the Company which is not determinable by the Company within one year without paying compensation (other than statutory compensation). Mr. Lam is subject to retirement by rotation in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company.

Since Mr. Lam has served the Group as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years, he should be subject to re-election by the Shareholders for a longer term in accordance with Code Provision A.4.3 of Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules. Nonetheless, the Company has received confirmation from Mr. Lam as to his independence in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules and Mr. Lam has not engaged in any daily executive management of the Group. Taking into consideration of his independent scope of work in the past years, the Directors consider Mr. Lam to be independent under the Listing Rules despite the fact that he has served the Company for more than nine years. Accordingly, the Directors would like to seek the Shareholders’ approval for the continuous appointment of Mr. Lam as an independent non-executive Director.
