CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sector or countries in which the companies operate. 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 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.

The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

PROPOSED ALTERATIONS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION; PROPOSED GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES; RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR; AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The primary purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM and to give you notice of the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ALTERATIONS TO THE ARTICLES

In November 2004, the Stock Exchange made amendments to the GEM Listing Rules which came into effect on 1 January 2005. Amongst the various changes, the CG Code was introduced. It sets out principles of good corporate governance, and two levels of recommendations being code provisions and recommended best practices. Issuers, such as the Company, are expected to comply with, but may choose to deviate from the code provisions whereas the recommended best practices are for guidance only. The Company has implemented the code provisions of the CG Code to the extent that it is reasonable, practicable and in the interest of the Company to do so. In order to ensure that provisions in the Articles are consistent with the CG Code, it is proposed that certain provisions of the existing Articles be amended to the effect that:

  • (1) all Directors, if they are appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy, should be subject to election by the shareholders at the first general meeting after their appointment; and

  • (2) all Directors should be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.

In addition, in February 2006, the Stock Exchange made amendments to the GEM Listing Rules which came into effect on 1 March 2006. Pursuant to the amendment made to Appendix 3 and Part B of Appendix 11 to the GEM Listing Rules which states the additional requirements for memorandum and articles of association of companies incorporated in the Cayman Islands, the articles of association of these companies shall provide that directors may be removed at any time by ordinary resolution of the members. According to the Articles, the Company may by special resolution remove any Director before the expiration of his period of office. Amendment to the relevant provisions of the Articles will be proposed at the AGM.

A full text of the proposed alterations to the Articles is set out in resolution numbered 4 in the notice of the AGM contained in this circular.

ISSUE MANDATE, REPURCHASE MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 July 2005, the Directors were granted a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares and a general mandate to purchase Shares. These mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be given the Issue Mandate, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares up to 20% of the aggregate nominal share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 452,612,072 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Issue Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 90,522,414 Shares.

  • 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed to give the Directors the Repurchase Mandate, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase, on the Stock Exchange, or on any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed, Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the nominal share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

In addition, an ordinary resolution regarding the Extension Mandate will be proposed at the AGM providing that any Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate (up to a maximum of 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of the grant of the Repurchase Mandate) will be added to the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Issue Mandate.

Each of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate would expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the end of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Law or the Articles to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when revoked or varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Under the GEM Listing Rules, the Company is required to give to all Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM. An explanatory statement for such purpose is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

In accordance with Article 108(A) of the Articles, Mr. Hou Hsiao Wen will retire as Director by rotation and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election as Director at the AGM. Particulars of Mr. Hou Hsiao Wen are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

At the AGM, special or (as the case may be) ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve, among other matters, the following:

  • (a) the alterations to the Articles;

  • (b) the grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate; and

  • (c) the re-election of Director.

Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and, in any event not later than 48 hours before the time for the AGM or any adjournment thereof. 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the alterations to the Articles, the grant of Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate and the re-election of Director are beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors believe that an exercise of the Issue Mandate will enable the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for the Company.

The Repurchase Mandate 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 exercised when the Directors believe that repurchases of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 31 March 2006, being the date of its latest audited consolidated financial statements. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the special/ordinary resolutions approving the alterations to the Articles, the grant of Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate and the re-election of Director at the AGM.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board of Soluteck Holdings Limited

Hou Hsiao Bing

Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information as to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

1. GEM Listing Rules relating to the repurchase of shares

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is 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 recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the GEM Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. Share capital

As at Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 452,612,072 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 45,261,207 Shares.

3. Reasons for the repurchase

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Share 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 repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. Funding of repurchases

Repurchase made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association, the Articles, the Companies Law and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Companies Law, 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 so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

  • 7 -

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 March 2006, being the date of its latest audited consolidated financial statements. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. Share prices

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on GEM in each of the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
June 2005 0.080 0.080
July 2005 0.070 0.065
August 2005 0.060 0.060
September 2005 0.059 0.050
October 2005 0.070 0.043
November 2005 0.055 0.040
December 2005 0.071 0.040
January 2006 0.074 0.060
February 2006 0.060 0.059
March 2006 0.068 0.050
April 2006 0.094 0.050
May 2006 0.065 0.050
June 2006 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.075 0.050

6. The Takeovers Code and minimum public holding

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“ Takeovers Code ”). As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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.

  • 8 -

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the controlling shareholders of the Company (“ Controlling Shareholders ”) in aggregate held 199,500,000 Shares representing approximately 44.08% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. Assuming that the each of the Controlling Shareholders did not dispose of their respective Shares nor acquire additional Shares, if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full, the percentage shareholding of the aforesaid Controlling Shareholders of the Company would be increased to approximately 48.97% of the issued share capital of the Company.

On the basis of the shareholding held by the Controlling Shareholders set out above, they would be obligated to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full. However, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of the Controlling Shareholders to make a mandatory offer under the Takeover Code.

7. Share repurchase made by the Company

The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

8. General

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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

No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.

  • 9 -

PROCEDURE FOR DEMANDING A POLL

APPENDIX II

Pursuant to Article 72 of the Articles, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) demanded:

  • (i) by the Chairman of the meeting; or

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

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

  • (iv) by any Shareholder or Shareholders present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy and holding shares in the Company 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 the shares conferring that right.
