LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 28 August 2020, 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 number not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of shares of the Company in issue on the date of passing of such resolution (the ‘‘Issuance Mandate’’);
-
(b) to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of an aggregate number not exceeding 10% of the aggregate number of shares of the Company in issue on the date of passing of such resolution (the ‘‘Repurchase Mandate’’); and
-
(c) to extend the Issuance Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate number of 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 445,646,000 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 89,129,200 Shares during the period in which the Issuance Mandate remains in force.
The Issuance Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will continue to be 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 number 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.

3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprised five executive Directors, namely Mr. Gao Jianbo (Chairman), Ms. Cai Dongyan (Chief Executive Officer), Mr. Zhang Huijun, Ms. Pauline Lam and Mr. Lin Liangyong, and three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Lam Yick Man, Mr. Hu Zhigang and Mr. Zhang Jiayou.
According to Article 86(3), the Directors shall have the 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 so appointed by the Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Mr. Huang Zhiwei has resigned from 19 December 2020 and Mr. Zhang Jiayou was appointed as an independent non-executive Director on the same day. Accordingly, Mr. Zhang Jiayou shall retire and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election at the AGM in accordance with Article 86(3).
According to Article 87, at least one-third of the Directors for the time being shall retire from office by rotation at each annual general meeting 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. It further stipulates that any Director appointed pursuant to Article 86(3) shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation. Accordingly, Mr. Gao Jianbo, Ms. Pauline Lam and Mr. Lin Liangyong shall retire by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, the biographical details of Mr. Gao Jianbo, Ms. Pauline Lam, Mr. Lin Liangyong and Mr. Zhang Jiayou are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I 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 445,646,000 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 44,564,600 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.
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.
– 7 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
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 2021 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.
5. 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 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 close 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 core 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.
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 and insofar the Directors are aware, China Yuen Capital Limited (‘‘China Yuen’’) held 253,132,500 Shares representing interests of approximately 56.80% 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 China Yuen would be increased to approximately 63.11% of the total issued share capital of the Company, However, 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 of the Takeovers Code.
– 8 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
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.
9. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange, respectively, in each of the previous twelve months were as follows:
| Price Per Share | Price Per Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Month | Highest | Lowest |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
