Hong Kong, 11 April 2017

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISES MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the notice of the 2017 AGM, and information on matters to be dealt with at the 2017 AGM, being:

  • (a) further details of the Awarded Shares and Option Scheme;

  • (b) details of granting of the Issuance Mandate to the Directors;

  • (c) details of granting of Repurchase Mandate to the Directors;

  • (d) details of granting of the Extension Mandate;

  • (e) details of the re-election of the retiring Directors; and

  • (f) the notice of the 2017 AGM.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the award of the Connected Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Participants is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Independent Financial Adviser has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the award of the Connected Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Participants.

The Board adopted the Award Scheme and approved the proposed adoption of the Option Scheme, which will be subject to the approval by the Shareholders at a general meeting, to recognise the contributions by certain Participants and as an incentive to retain them for the Group’s continuing operation and development and to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group.

The Board has also resolved to, subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders/Shareholders (as the case may be), award an aggregate of 12,000,000 Awarded Shares to 30 Selected Participants, of which, (i) 1,750,000 Connected Awarded Shares will be awarded to the Connected Selected Participant by way of issue and allotment of new Awarded Shares and (ii) 10,250,000 Independent Awarded Shares will be awarded to 29 Independent Selected Participants by way of issue and allotment of new Shares pursuant to the specific mandate which may be granted by the Independent Shareholders/Shareholders (as the case may be) at the 2017 AGM.

The Directors strongly believe that the continued success of the Group is closely tied with the commitment and efforts of the Participants. The Awarded Shares and Options can serve as incentives to motivate the Participants to further contribute to the Group. The Awarded Shares and/or Options to be awarded or granted (as the case may be) will be with reference to the performance, operating and financial targets of the Group as well as other criteria to be determined by the Board (or the Administrator) from time to time, which aligns the personal interest of the Participants with the economic interest of the Group and the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ADOPTION OF THE AWARD SCHEME

The Board approved the adoption of the Award Scheme on 20 March 2017, pursuant to which, Shares will be acquired by the Trustee by way of subscription of new Shares (whether pursuant to general mandate or specific mandate granted by the Shareholders or otherwise) and/or purchase of Shares from the market out of cash contributed by the Group and be held on trust for the Participants until such Awarded Shares are vested in the relevant Selected Participants in accordance with the provisions of the Award Scheme.

The Company has appointed The Core Trust Company Limited (滙聚信託有限公司) as the Trustee. The Trustee is an independent third party of the Company and is acting for a wide scope of participants under the Award Scheme. The aggregate interests of the Company’s connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) in the Award Scheme are expected to be less than 30%.

The Award Scheme does not constitute a share option scheme or an arrangement analogous to a share option scheme for the purpose of Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules and is a discretionary scheme of the Company. The Award Scheme will operate in parallel with the Option Scheme to be considered by the Shareholders at the general meeting to be convened for the purpose of considering and, if think fit, the approval of the adoption of the Option Scheme.

A summary of the principal terms of the Award Scheme is set out in the letter below.

Duration

Unless early terminated by the Board, the Award Scheme shall be valid and effective for a term of 10 years commencing on the adoption date of the Award Scheme provided that no contribution to the Trust Fund will be made by the Company on or after the 10th anniversary date of the adoption date of the Award Scheme.

Administration

The Award Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board or the Administrator together with the Trustee in accordance with the Award Scheme Rules and the terms of the Trust Deed. The Trustee shall hold the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed.

Mandate Limit of the Award Scheme

The Board shall not make any further award of Shares which will result in the number of Shares awarded by the Board under the Award Scheme to be in excess of 8.5% (i.e. 52,700,000 Shares) of the issued share capital of the Company as at the adoption date of the Award Scheme (i.e. 620,000,000 Shares) unless otherwise determined by the resolution of the Board.

The maximum number of Shares to be awarded under the Award Scheme in each financial year of the Company shall not exceed 3% (i.e. 18,600,000 shares) of the issued share capital of the Company as at the adoption date of the Award Scheme (i.e. 620,000,000 shares).

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Returned Shares shall not be counted in calculating the 8.5% limit.

The maximum number of Shares which may be allocated and awarded to a Selected Participant under the Award Scheme in any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately preceding such allocation and award.

Operation

The Administrator may, from time to time, at their absolute discretion, select any Participant (other than any Excluded Participant), for participation in the Award Scheme as a Selected Participant.

In order to satisfy any Award to be granted under the Award Scheme from time to time, the Board may from time to time instruct the Trustee to purchase Shares from the market and/or to subscribe for new Shares and to hold them on trust for the benefit of the Participant pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Award Scheme Rules and the Trust Deed.

On each occasion when the Board instructs the Trustee to purchase Shares from the market, it shall specify the maximum amount of funds to be used and the range of prices at which such Shares are to be purchased. The Trustee may not incur more than the maximum amount of funds or purchase any Shares at a price falling outside the range of prices so specified unless with the prior written consent of the Board.

Pursuant to the Award Scheme Rules, the Administrator shall select Selected participants and determine the number of Awarded Shares, provided that the making of an Award to any connected person (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) or Administrator shall be (a) recommended by the Remuneration Committee; (b) approved by the Board comprising disinterested Directors at the relevant time at duly convened Board meetings in accordance with the articles of association of the Company (as amended from time to time) and (c) in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules.

Where any grant of Awarded Shares is proposed to be made to any person who is a connected person of the Company (within the meaning of the GEM Listing Rules), the Company shall comply with such provisions of the GEM Listing Rules as may be applicable, including any reporting, announcement and/or shareholders’ approval requirements, unless otherwise exempted under the GEM Listing Rules.

Restrictions

No Payment shall be made to the Trustee by the Board and no instructions to acquire or subscribe for any Shares shall be given to the Trustee under the Award Scheme where dealings in the Shares are prohibited under any code or requirement to the GEM Listing Rules and all applicable laws from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no instructions shall be given by the Board for acquiring or subscribing for Shares and no grant shall be made:

— 11 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions

The issue and allotment of the Connected Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Participant shall be subject to:

  • (i) the grant of the listing approval by the Stock Exchange in respect of the Connected Awarded Shares; and

  • (ii) the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the 2017 AGM in respect of the specific mandate for the issue and allotment of the Connected Awarded Shares.

The issue and allotment of the Independent Awarded Shares to the Independent Selected Participants shall be subject to:

Reasons and Basis for the Award of the Awarded Shares

The Award Scheme forms part of the incentive schemes of the Group. The Board considers that the award of the Awarded Shares to the Selected Participants, which were determined with reference to, inter alia, the contribution of the relevant Selected Participant to the Group and (if applicable) the remuneration package of the relevant Selected Participant, provides incentives to the Selected Participants and will allow the Group to attract and retain talents for the continual operation and development of the Group. The award of the Awarded Shares to the Selected Participants recognizes their continual support to the Group and their effort will promote the Group’s future development.

Furthermore, there will not be any actual cash outflow by the Group under the award of the Award Shares to provide incentives to the Selected Participants.

On 20 March 2017, the Board proposes to adopt the Option Scheme pursuant to Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules, which is subject to the approval of the Shareholders in a general meeting to be convened for the purpose of considering and, if think fit, the approval of the adoption of the Option Scheme. A summary of the principal terms of the Option Scheme is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

Summary of the Option Scheme Rules

Condition Precedent of the Option Scheme

The adoption of the Option Scheme is conditional upon:

  • (a) the passing of the ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the 2017 AGM to approve and adopt the Option Scheme; and

— 14 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval for the listing of and permission to deal in any Shares which may fall to be issued by the Company pursuant to the exercise of the Options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Option Scheme.

Mandate Limit of the Option Scheme

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedents listed above, the total number of new Shares in respect of which Options may be granted under the Option Scheme shall not exceed 10% of the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of approval of the Option Scheme by the Shareholders, which is 62,000,000 Shares (the “ Option Scheme Mandate Limit ”) assuming there is no change to the Company’s issued share capital from the date of the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the 2017 AGM to approve the Option Scheme.

The Company may at any time as the Board thinks fit seek approval from the shareholders to refresh the Option Scheme Mandate Limit save that the total number of new Shares in respect of which Options may be granted under the Option Scheme and any other schemes shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date on which the shareholders of the Company approve the refreshment of the Option Scheme Mandate Limit and the maximum number of new Shares in respect of which Options may be granted and yet to be exercised under the Option Scheme and any other schemes shall not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

Further details of the Option Scheme

In order to attract and motivate high calibre eligible participants and afford flexibility to the Board in granting Options to achieve the purpose of the Option Scheme, the Option Scheme provides that the Board may specify the eligible participants to whom the Options shall be granted, the number of Shares subject to each Option and the date on which the Options shall be granted. In determining the basis of eligibility of each eligible participant, the Board would take into account such factors as it may at its discretion consider appropriate including the experience and length of service in the Group of each eligible participant, the contribution or potential contribution made or is likely to be made by each eligible participant to the Group. The Board shall also determine the subscription price in respect of any Option in accordance with the terms of the Option Scheme, which cannot in any event fall below the price stipulated in the GEM Listing Rules. The Board may impose any such terms, conditions, restrictions or limitations in relation to any Option at the time of grant, in particular the vesting period (if any) for each Option to be granted pursuant to Option Scheme may be specified by the Board in the relevant offer letter at the time of grant, and the Board may also specify minimum performance targets (if any) which must be achieved and the minimum period (if any) for an Option to be held before any of the Options can be exercised in the relevant offer letter at the time of grant. The Directors consider that the aforesaid criteria and rules will serve to preserve the value of the Company and encourage the eligible participants of the Option Scheme to acquire proprietary interests in the Company.

— 15 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

None of the Directors is a trustee of the Option Scheme nor has a direct or indirect interest in the trustee.

Value of Options

The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to state the value of all Options that can be granted pursuant to the Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors believe that any statement regarding the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date will be based on a large number of speculative assumptions and would therefore not be meaningful to the Shareholders, taking into account the number of variables which are crucial for the calculation of the value of the Options which have not been determined. Such variables include the subscription price of the Option, the period of Option, any lock-up period, interest rate, expected stock price volatility and other relevant variables.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Since the Connected Selected Participant is a connected person of the Company by virtue of being a director of a member of the Group, the proposed issue and allotment of Connected Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Participant constitute connected transactions of the Company under the Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules which are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules. Specific mandate will also be obtained for issue and allotment of the Independent Awarded Shares to the Independent Selected Participant.

Pursuant to Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules, each of the Connected Selected Participant and their associates are required to abstain from voting on the resolutions at the 2017 AGM to approve the proposed issue and allotment of Connected Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Participant. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, as at the date of this circular, each of the Connected Selected Participant and their associates is not interested in any Share, and there are no Shareholders having any material interest in the proposed issue and allotment of Connected Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Participant. Accordingly, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting at the 2017 AGM on the resolutions approving the proposed issue and allotment of Connected Awarded Shares to the Connected Selected Participant under the GEM Listing Rules.

None of the Director is considered to be interested in the Awarded Shares and therefore none of them abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolution.

IV. Potential dilution of the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders

Upon issue and allotment of the 1,750,000 Connected Award Shares to Mr. Gao in full (assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company), the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 45.42% to approximately 45.29%.

Moreover, taking into account (i) the reasons for and possible benefits of the Award; (ii) the terms of the Award being fair and reasonable; and (iii) there will not be any actual cash outflow by the Group under the Award, we are of the view that the dilution to the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders as a result of the Award if acceptable.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Having taken into consideration of the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the view that (i) the terms of the Award are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the Award is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the 2017 AGM to approve the Award and the transactions contemplated thereunder and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the GEM Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2017 AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

REASON FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it 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 on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 620,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 10 of the notice of the 2017 AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued ordinary share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the 2017 AGM, i.e. being 620,000,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a maximum of 62,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of 2017 AGM.

FUNDING AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of the Company, the GEM Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

Under the Cayman Islands law, any repurchases 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 authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of profits or the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. In accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the shares so repurchased would be treated as cancelled.

— 34 —

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), 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 repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.

The Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVER 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 purpose of the Takeovers Code.

Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as that term is defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the only controlling Shareholder is Wing Success Holdings Limited (“ Wing Success ”), a company wholly owned by Mr. ZHENG Fushuang. Wing Success owned 210,278,278 Shares (approximately 33.92% of the issued share capital of the Company). In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full, the interest of Wing Success would be increased from approximately 33.92% to approximately 37.68%. Such increase will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers code. Moreover, the Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that results in a public shareholding of less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the Company’s Shares in public hands.

GEM LISTING RULES RELATING TO REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed and such exchange is recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

— 35 —

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the memorandum and Articles of the Company.

DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors or, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is granted, to sell Shares to the Company. No connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the period from the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date.

SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices of the Shares since the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
