CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized 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 that 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.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The health of our shareholders, staff and stakeholders is of paramount importance to us.

In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM to protect attending shareholders, staff and stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  • (i) Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every shareholder, proxy or other attendee at each entrance of the meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.

  • (iii) No refreshment will be served, and there will be no corporate gift.

  • (iv) Any attendee has any flu-like symptoms or subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine or has close contact with any person under quarantine will be denied entry into the meeting venue.

In addition, the Company reminds all shareholders that physical attendance in person at the meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the meeting instead of attending the meeting in person, by completing and return the proxy form attached to this document.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES AND EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to grant the general mandates to the Directors: (i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares not exceeding in aggregate 20% of the aggregate number of issued Shares of the Company at the date of the passing of such resolution; (ii) to repurchase Shares which does not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares of the Company at the date of passing of such resolution; and (iii) the general extension mandate, after the Repurchase Mandate is granted, to add the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to the Issue Mandate, subject to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares of the Company at the date of passing of the resolution for approving the Issue Mandate.

Based on 1,440,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are repurchased or issued prior to the AGM, subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for approving the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors will be authorised to allot, issue and deal with up to a limit of 288,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate and repurchase 144,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement, required by the GEM Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant proposed ordinary resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.

The Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the general extension mandate, if granted at the AGM, will remain in effect until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Articles to be held; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of three executive Directors, namely Mr. Chow Yik (‘‘Mr. Chow’’) (Chairman), Mr. Chan Lap Ping (‘‘Mr. Chan’’) and Mr. Tsui Wing Tak (‘‘Mr. Tsui’’) and four independent non-executive Directors, namely, Mr. Chan Hoi Kuen Matthew, Mr. Law Yui Lun (‘‘Mr. Law’’), Mr. Lu Jun Bo and Ms. Wong Syndia D (‘‘Ms. Wong’’).

Pursuant to Article 83(3) of the Articles, the Directors shall have power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office only until the first general meeting of members after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Mr. Chow and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Tsui shall retire from office as the executive Directors and Ms. Wong shall retire from office as an independent non-executive Director at the AGM and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Article 84(1) of the Articles provides that at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. According to article 84(2) of the Articles, the Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for reelection. Any Director who has not been subject to retirement by rotation in the three years preceding the annual general meeting shall retire by rotation at such annual general meeting. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. Any Director appointed by the Board pursuant to Article 83(3) of the Articles shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation. Accordingly, Mr. Chan and Mr. Law shall retire by rotation at the AGM and being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

The Board, upon the recommendation of the nomination committee of the Board, proposed Mr. Chow, Mr. Chan, Mr. Tsui, Mr. Law and Ms. Wong (collectively the ‘‘Retiring Directors’’), to stand for re-election at the AGM.

Particulars of the Directors proposed to be re-elected in the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Procedure and Process for Nomination of Directors

The Nomination Committee will recommend to the Board for the appointment of a Director including an INED in accordance with the following procedures and process:

  • (f) The Nomination Committee will provide the relevant information of the selected candidate to the Remuneration Committee for consideration of the remuneration package of such selected candidate;

  • (h) The Board may arrange for the selected candidate to be interviewed by the members of the Board who are not members of the Nomination Committee and the Board will thereafter deliberate and decide the appointment as the case may be; and

  • (i) All appointment of Directors will be confirmed by the filing of the consent to act as Director of the relevant Director (or any other similar filings requiring the relevant Director to acknowledge or accept the appointment as Director, as the case may be) to be filed with the relevant regulatory authorities, if required.

Recommendations of the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee had, among other matters, evaluated the performance of each of the Retiring Directors during the period from their respective dates of appointment to 31 March 2021 and found their performance satisfactory.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Nomination Committee has also assessed and reviewed the annual written confirmation of independence based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules received from each of the INEDs and confirmed that all of them remain independent.

In view of the diversified knowledge, experience and skills of Mr. Law and Ms. Wong, the Board believes that their expertise will enable them to fulfill their roles as an independent non-executive Director effectively and can provide useful and constructive opinion and make contribution to the Board and future development of the Company. Also, based on the background of Mr. Law and Ms. Wong including but not limited to their gender, cultural and educational background, ethnicity, professional experience, skills and knowledge, it is believed that Mr. Law and Ms. Wong can contribute to diversity of the Board.

Accordingly, the Nomination Committee recommended to the Board that the Retiring Directors stand for re-election as Directors at the AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the Retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders at the AGM.

The biographical details of each of the Retiring Directors to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements under the GEM Listing Rules.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The GEM Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,440,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase a maximum of 144,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of the AGM. The Shares repurchased by the Company shall, subject to applicable law, be automatically cancelled upon such repurchase.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on 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 and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. FUNDING AND EFFECT OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules, and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

Under the GEM Listing Rules, a listed company may not repurchase its own shares listed on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange as amended from time to time.

– 10 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed purchase period, there might be a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 March 2021, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

6. TAKEOVER CODE CONSEQUENCE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register of members kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as was known to, or could be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by, the Directors, Sure Wonder Investments Limited (‘‘Sure Wonder’’) held a beneficial interest in 393,206,400 Shares representing approximately 27.31% of the issued share capital of the Company. Sure Wonder is owned as to 83.4% by Ms. Wong Wai Fong, 9.3% by Mr. Kwok Yiu Chung, 1.8% by Ms. Yang Dongxiang and 5.5% by Mr. Hui Chun Wah. By virtue of the SFO. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full, the percentage shareholding of Sure Wonder would be increased to approximately 30.34% of the issued share capital of the Company, and such increase will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or result in the number of the Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of the Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may be prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the GEM Listing Rules).

7. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not made any repurchases of its Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

8. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSON

None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their respective close associates, have any present intention, in the event that the proposal on the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No core connected persons of the Company (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

9. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest traded prices for the Shares on the Stock Exchange during each of the twelve months immediately preceding and the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Share prices
Highest Lowest
2020
July 0.204 0.147
August 0.210 0.176
