CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. 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 of the Stock Exchange 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 information relating to the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM for the proposed grant of the General Mandate (including the extended General Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate, the proposed re-election of retiring Directors, the proposed Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit, the Increase in Authorised Share Capital and the notice of the AGM.

GENERAL MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the AGM, the Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the General Mandate (including the extended General Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate.

General Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate (i.e. the General Mandate) to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares or underlying shares of the Company (other than by way of rights or pursuant to a share option scheme for employees of the Company or Directors and/or any of its subsidiaries or pursuant to any scrip dividend scheme or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of whole or part of the dividend on Shares in accordance with the Articles) or make or grant offers, agreements, options and warrants which might require the exercise of such power, of an aggregate amount of up to 20% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of granting of the General Mandate.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will further be proposed for extending the General Mandate authorising the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Details on the Repurchase Mandate are further elaborated below.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an aggregate of 5,712,151,908 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the General Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the General Mandate to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 1,142,430,381 Shares.

Repurchase Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate to repurchase Shares (i.e. the Repurchase Mandate) on the Stock Exchange of an aggregate amount of up to 10% of the number of the issued Share as at the date of granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 571,215,190 Shares.

The General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate would expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the AGM; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) revocation or variation by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to 87(1) and 87(2) of the Articles, Mr. Wong Chi Yung, Mr. Hung Hing Man and Mr. May Tai Keung, Nicholas will retire by rotation from office at the AGM. Being eligible, each of Mr. Wong Chi Yung, Mr. Hung Hing Man and Mr. May Tai Keung, will offer himself for reelection as Director.

Brief biographical details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme with effect from 2 August 2012 pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by the Shareholders on 2 August 2012. Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company and/ or its subsidiaries (if any) must not represent more than 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme, being 749,490,636 Shares of HK$0.1 each. Save for the Share Option Scheme, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any other share option scheme.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Scheme Mandate Limit may be refreshed by the Shareholders in general meeting from time to time provided that:

• (i) the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit;

• (ii) Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company and/or its subsidiaries (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company and/or its subsidiaries) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed; and

• (iii) the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Share Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option scheme(s) adopted by the Company and/or its subsidiaries must not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 June 2015, the then Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed to 323,455,990 Shares (adjusted for the effect of share subdivision and share consolidation), being 10% of the number of the Shares in issue as at the date of the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 June 2015.

On 11 April 2016, the Directors granted a total of 323,448,000 Share Options under the Share Option Scheme to subscribe for an aggregate of 323,448,000 Shares, all of which were lapsed by 10 April 2017.

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 June 2016, the then Scheme Mandate Limit was further refreshed to 571,215,190 Shares (adjusted for the effect of share subdivision and share consolidation), being 10% of the number of the Shares in issue as at the date of the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 June 2016.

On 11 April 2017, the Directors further granted a total of 571,200,000 Share Options under the Share Option Scheme to subscribe for an aggregate of 571,200,000 Shares, of which no Share Options were exercised, lapsed or cancelled as at the Latest Practicable Date.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On the basis of 5,712,151,908 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming there is no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the AGM; and the Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM; and taking into account the outstanding 571,200,000 Share Options granted under the Share Option Scheme to subscribe for up to a total of 571,200,000 Shares (the “ Outstanding Options ”), the Company may grant Share Options under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Company (if any) to eligible participants conferring on them right to subscribe for not exceeding 571,215,190 Shares which, when aggregated with 571,200,000 Shares that may be issued under the Outstanding Options (amounting to 1,142,415,190 Shares which represents approximately 19.99% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date), is within the said limit of 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time as required under the Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the maximum number of Share Options available to be granted under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit is 15,190 Share Options and thus the Company had almost fully utilised the existing Scheme Mandate Limit. The Directors consider that the Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole because it enables the Company to reward appropriately and motivate the eligible participants under the Share Option Scheme with greater flexibility.

The Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

• (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM; and

• (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares (representing a maximum of 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution of Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM) which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of the Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares, representing 10% of the number of issued Shares at the AGM, which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of the Options that may be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$800,000,000 divided into 8,000,000,000 Shares, of which 5,712,151,908 Shares have been allotted and issued as fully paid. In order to allow the Company to have the flexibility to issue new Shares for future development, the Directors propose that the authorised share capital of the Company be increased from HK$800,000,000 divided into 8,000,000,000 Shares to HK$1,200,000,000 divided into 12,000,000,000 Shares by the creation of an additional 4,000,000,000 Shares, which will rank pari passu with all existing Shares. The proposed increase in authorised share capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board had no present intention of issuing any part of the additional HK$400,000,000 authorised share capital.

AGM

Procedures for demanding a poll

According to Article 66 of the Articles, a resolution put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded:

• (a) by the chairman of such meeting; or

• (b) by at least three Shareholders present in person or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorized representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or

• (c) by a Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorized representative or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all Shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting; or

• (d) by a Shareholder or Shareholders present in person or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorized representative or by proxy and holding Shares conferring a right to vote at the meeting being Shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all Shares conferring that right; or

• (e) by any Director or Directors who, individually or collectively, hold proxies in respect of shares representing five per cent (5%) or more of the total voting rights at such meeting.

Pursuant to GEM Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at the general meetings must be taken by poll. The chairman of the meeting will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM pursuant to Article 66 of the Articles.

AGM and proxy arrangement

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The following is an explanatory statement required by the GEM 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. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any Shares, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders. Trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile in recent years. At any time in the future when Shares are trading at a discount to their underlying value, the ability of the Company to repurchase Shares will be beneficial to the Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company since their percentage interest in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of Shares repurchased by the Company and thereby resulting in an increase in net assets and/or earnings per Share of the Company. Such repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 5,712,151,908 fully paid Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 571,215,190 fully paid Shares, representing approximately 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not purchase securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

– 12 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or which would result in the Company’s gearing levels increasing to a degree which in the opinion of the Directors from time to time would be inappropriate for the Company.

5. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code and, if such increase results in a change of control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for Shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, according to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Discover Wide Investments Limited, a company incorporated in British Virgin Islands together with its beneficial owner, Mr. Wong Kui Shing, Danny, the executive Director of the Company, were interested in 409,659,449 Shares, representing approximately 7.17% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Discover Wide Investments Limited and its Associates in the Company would be increased to approximately 7.97% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Zhang Rong was interested in 364,672,000 Shares, representing 6.38%of the issued share capital of the Company. In any event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Zhang Rong in the Company would be increased to approximately 7.09% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to buy back the Shares to the extent it will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for any Shareholder or group of Shareholders to make a mandatory offer.

Saved as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

6. GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective Associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

– 13 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The Company has not been notified by any connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any 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 laws of the Cayman Islands.
