To the Shareholders and for information only to the Optionholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
$\mathbf{1}$ . INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the forthcoming AGM to approve (i) the granting of the Issuance Mandate to the Directors; (ii) the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors; (iii) the extension of the Issuance Mandate by adding to it the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate and (iv) the re-election of retiring Directors.
$2.$ GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 8 August 2013, general mandates were granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to issue Shares and to repurchase Shares respectively. Such general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
It will therefore be proposed at the forthcoming AGM to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company:
- $(a)$ to allot, issue and deal with new Shares of an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of passing of such resolution ("Issuance Mandate");
- $(b)$ to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of passing of such resolution ("Repurchase Mandate"); and
- to extend the Issuance Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate nominal $(c)$ amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 438,926,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution for approving the Issuance Mandate at the AGM and on the basis that there is no change in the issued and paid up share capital of the Company between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the resolution approving the Issuance Mandate, the Company would be allowed under the Issuance Mandate to issue and/or to make or grant offers, agreements and options which might require the issue of a maximum of 87,785,200 Shares during the period in which the Issuance Mandate remains in force.
The Issuance Mandate and Repurchase Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the AGM or any earlier date as referred to in ordinary resolutions numbered $5.(A)(d)$ and $5.(B)(c)$ set out in the notice of AGM. A resolution authorizing the extension of the Issuance Mandate to include the aggregate nominal amount of such Shares repurchased (if any) under the Repurchase Mandate will be proposed as ordinary resolution numbered 5.(C) set out in the notice of AGM. With reference to the Issuance Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any Shares or repurchase any Shares pursuant thereto.
In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution for granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS $3.$
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprised two Executive Directors, Mr. Lam Wai Ming (Chairman), Mr. Tam Chi Sang (Managing Director) and three Independent Non-Executive Directors, Mr. Chiu Fan Wa, Mr. Choi Hon Keung and Mr. Li Chi Chung.
According to Article 87 of the Articles, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall retire at least once in every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. 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 re-election. 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.
At the AGM, Mr. Chiu Fan Wa and Mr. Li Chi Chung will retire from office by rotation in accordance with Article 87 of the Articles and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
According to Code Provision A.4.3 of Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, it is stipulated that serving for more than nine years could be relevant to the determination of a non-executive director's independence. If an independent non-executive director serves for more than nine years, any further appointment of such independent non-executive director should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders.
Mr. Chiu Fan Wa and Mr. Li Chi Chung have been appointed as the independent nonexecutive Director for more than nine years. The Company has received from each of Mr. Chiu and Mr. Li a confirmation of independence according to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Mr. Chiu and Mr. Li have not engaged in any executive management of the Group. Taking into account their independent scope of work in the past years, the Directors consider both Mr. Chiu and Mr. Li to be independent under the Listing Rules despite the fact that they have served the Company for more than nine years. The Board believes that their continued tenure brings considerable stability to the Board and the Board has benefited from their presence as they have over time gained valuable insight into the industry in which the Group operates.
Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, the biographical details of Mr. Chiu Fan Wa and Mr. Li Chi Chung are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
$\overline{4}$ . AGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
A notice convening the AGM to be held on Thursday, 7 August 2014 is set out on pages 15 to 20 of this circular. At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the granting of the Issuance Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issuance Mandate by the addition thereto of the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors.
A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular. You are requested to complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Hong Kong branch share registrar of the Company, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof, whether or not you are able to attend at the AGM in person. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish and in such event, the form of proxy will be deemed to be revoked.
5. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at the AGM must be taken by poll. The chairman of the AGM will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
RECOMMENDATION 6.
The Directors believe that the granting and extension of the Issuance Mandate, the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and the re-election of retiring Directors are in the interests of the Company, the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of all the relevant ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT $7.$
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Group. The Directors, having made all reasonable inquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
8. GENERAL INFORMATION
Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendix I (Explanatory Statement of the Repurchase Mandate) and Appendix II (Details of Directors Proposed for Re-election) to this circular.
Yours faithfully For and on behalf of KENFORD GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED LAM WAI MING Chairman
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This is the explanatory statement required under the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.
$1.$ STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SECURITIES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, amongst which it is provided that all proposed repurchases of securities on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by Shareholders by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate, or by a special approval in relation to specific transactions.
$2.$ SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 438,926,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further securities of the Company are issued and no further Shares are repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 43,892,600 Shares (representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of granting of the Repurchase Mandate).
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value 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 have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company the flexibility to do so when appropriate.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
$\boldsymbol{4}$ . FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association, the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Listing Rules and/or any other applicable laws. Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be made out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for such purpose or, subject to the Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands, out of capital. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be provided out of the profits of the Company or out of sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands, out of capital.
There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2014 in the event that the repurchase of Shares were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the repurchase of Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels, which in the view of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS 5.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
6. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquires, any of their associates, has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries nor has he/she undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
$7.$ EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE
If on the exercise of the powers to repurchase 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 purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code, As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, 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 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Lam Wai Ming, Mr. Tam Chi Sang, Beaute, Achieve Best and Realchamp were together effectively interested in 286,390,000 Shares representing the aggregate interests of approximately 65.25% of the issued share capital of the Company. As Mr. Lam Wai Ming, a Director, is the ultimate beneficial owner of the entire issued share capital of Achieve Best and 50% of the issued share capital of Beaute and Mr. Tam Chi Sang, a Director, is the ultimate beneficial owner of the entire issued share capital of Realchamp and 50% of the issued share capital of Beaute, as at the Latest Practicable Date, each of Mr. Lam Wai Ming and Mr. Tam Chi Sang was effectively interested in approximately 32.63% of the issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the aggregate interests of Beaute, Achieve Best, Realchamp, Mr. Lam Wai Ming and Mr. Tam Chi Sang, being the parties acting in concert in the Company would be increased to approximately 72.50% of the total issued share capital of the Company and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Based on the existing shareholding of Beaute, Achieve Best and Realchamp and assuming that there is no further issue of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of a repurchase, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in whole or in part will not result in less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company being held by the public as required by Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.
8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
