The Board wishes to announce that the date and time for holding the 2018 AGM shall be Wednesday, 20 June 2018 at 11:30 a.m. (Hong Kong time) . The date of the 2018 AGM was mistakenly stated in the April Circular (i.e. 13 July 2018). The venue of the 2018 AGM remains at 5/F, Chung Tai Printing Group Building, 11 Yip Cheong Street, On Lok Tsuen, Fanling, New Territories, Hong Kong as stated in the April Circular.

REVISED CLOSURE PERIOD OF THE REGISTER OF MEMBERS

In view of the revised date of the 2018 AGM, the closure period of the register of members of the Company for determining the entitlement of Shareholders to attend and vote at the 2018 AGM will also be amended from the original period from Tuesday, 10 July 2018 to Friday, 13 July 2018 (both days inclusive) to the amended period from Thursday, 14 June 2018 to Wednesday, 20 June 2018 (both days inclusive) , during which no transfer of Shares will be effected. In order to be entitled to attend and vote at the 2018 AGM to be held on Wednesday, 20 June 2018, all share transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited (the “ Branch Share Registrar ”), at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on Wednesday, 13 June 2018 .

Save for the aforesaid amendments to the date of the 2018 AGM and the corresponding book closure period, the information contained in the April Circular remains unchanged.

REVISED NOTICE AND REVISED PROXY FORM OF THE 2018 AGM

A revised notice (the “ Revised Notice ”) of the 2018 AGM is set out on pages 5 to 10 of this supplemental circular and a revised proxy form (the “ Revised Proxy Form ”) is enclosed herewith. Shareholders wishing to attend, vote at and/or appoint proxy for purpose of the 2018 AGM should do so in accordance with the instructions contained in the Revised Notice and the Revised Proxy Form.

Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the 2018 AGM in person, you are requested to complete the Revised Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Branch Share Registrar at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong by 11:30 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on Monday, 18 June 2018 or not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding any adjourned meeting thereof (the “ Proxy Closing Time ”).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A Shareholder who has not yet lodged the proxy form sent together with the April Circular (the “ April Proxy Form ”) with the Branch Share Registrar is requested to lodge the Revised Proxy Form if he or she wishes to appoint one or more than one proxy to attend the 2018 AGM on his or her behalf. In this case, the April Proxy Form should NOT be lodged with the Branch Share Registrar.

Shareholders should note that:

  • (i) If the April Proxy Form is not lodged with the Branch Share Registrar and the Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Branch Share Registrar at or prior to the Proxy Closing Time, the Revised Proxy Form will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by him or her if correctly completed. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder will be entitled to vote according to the instructions stated on the Revised Proxy Form or, if there are no such instructions, at his or her discretion or to abstain on any resolution properly put to the 2018 AGM to be held on Wednesday, 20 June 2018.

  • (ii) If the April Proxy Form has already been lodged with the Branch Share Registrar and the Revised Proxy Form is also lodged with the Branch Share Registrar at or prior to the Proxy Closing Time, the Revised Proxy Form will revoke and supersede the April Proxy Form previously lodged by him or her. The Revised Proxy Form will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by the Shareholder if correctly completed.

  • (iii) If the April Proxy Form has already been lodged with the Branch Share Registrar but the Revised Proxy Form is only lodged with the Branch Share Registrar after the Proxy Closing Time, the Revised Proxy Form will be invalid. The April Proxy Form previously lodged by the Shareholder will be treated as valid form of proxy if correctly completed. The proxy so appointed under the April Proxy Form will be entitled to vote according to the instructions stated on the April Proxy Form or, if there are no such instructions, at his or her discretion or to abstain at the 2018 AGM to be held on Wednesday, 20 June 2018. Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to lodge the Revised Proxy Form before the Proxy Closing Time.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) If the April Proxy Form has already been lodged with the Branch Share Registrar at or prior to the Proxy Closing Time but no Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Branch Share Registrar or the Revised Proxy Form is invalid for whatever reasons, the April Proxy Form will be treated as valid form of proxy if correctly completed. The proxy so appointed under the April Proxy Form will be entitled to vote according to the instructions stated on the April Proxy Form or, if there are no such instructions, at his or her discretion or to abstain at the 2018 AGM to be held on Wednesday, 20 June 2018.

Shareholders are reminded that completion and return of the April Proxy Form and/or the Revised Proxy Form will not preclude them from attending and voting in person at the 2018 AGM or at any adjourned meeting thereof should they so wish and in such event, the April Proxy Form and/or the Revised Proxy Form previously submitted shall be deemed to be revoked.
