Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES, RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding certain resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against those resolutions.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

The resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of the AGM, if passed, will give the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the number of issued Shares at the date of passing the resolution (the “ Repurchase Mandate ”) before the Company’s next annual general meeting. A statement explaining the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

At the AGM, resolution set out in item 6 of the notice of the AGM will be proposed which, if passed, will give the Directors a general mandate to issue Shares and grant rights to subscribe for and convert securities into Shares, before the Company’s next annual general meeting, up to (i) 20% of the number of issued Shares at the date of passing the resolution (based on the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, being 1,536,830,055 Shares, the mandate would give the Directors power to issue up to 307,366,011 Shares) and (ii) the number of Shares repurchased by the Company subsequent to the passing of such resolution (the “ Issue Mandate ”). The Directors confirm that they have no current intention of exercising the Issue Mandate.

The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will continue to be in force from the passing of the said resolutions until whichever of the following first occurs:

  • (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or

  • (ii) the expiry of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Companies Ordinance to be held; or

  • (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under such ordinary resolutions by an ordinary resolution or ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders in general meeting.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except for purely procedural or administrative matters and results of the poll must be announced in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

Appendix i

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate and also constitutes the memorandum as required under section 239 of the Companies Ordinance.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange, subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

  • (a) The shares to be repurchased by a company must be fully paid-up.

  • (b) The company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules.

  • (c) All on-market repurchase of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchase, and a copy of such resolution together with the necessary documentation have been delivered to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.

2. LIMIT OF POSSIBLE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,536,830,055. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased and cancelled prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 153,683,005 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of passing the resolution.

3. REASON FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders. Trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile in recent years and if there are occasions in future when depressed market conditions arise, repurchases of Shares may support the share prices and lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share. It will then be beneficial to those 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.

6

explAnAtory stAtement

Appendix i

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of Hong Kong and the Listing Rules. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

There might be material 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 for the year ended 31 December 2017) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. 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 the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

The following table shows the highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date:

HK$ HK$
2017

6. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

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 in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Companies Ordinance.

If as a result of a share repurchase, 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 a group of shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (a) Better Joy Overseas Ltd., Lasting Legend Ltd., The L3G Capital Trust, Mighty Dragon Developments Limited and Maple Peak Investments Inc. (all of which are owned by persons and/or trusts associated with Mr. Ho, Lawrence Yau Lung (“ Mr. Lawrence Ho ”)) and Mr. Lawrence Ho are together beneficially interested in 33.52% of the issued Shares; (b) Dr. Ho Hung Sun, Stanley (“ Dr. Ho ”), father of Mr. Lawrence Ho, and his associates are together beneficially interested in 0.63% of the issued Shares; and (c) Great Respect Limited (a company controlled by a discretionary family trust, the beneficiaries of which include Mr. Lawrence Ho and his immediate family members) is holding 19.94% of the issued Shares. For the purposes of the Takeovers Code, Better Joy Overseas Ltd., Lasting Legend Ltd., The L3G Capital Trust, Mighty Dragon Developments Limited, Maple Peak Investments Inc., Great Respect Limited, Mr. Lawrence Ho, Dr. Ho and his associates (the “ Concert Group ”) are deemed to be acting in concert and are taken to have interests in a total of 54.09% of the issued Shares.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of the Concert Group would be increased to approximately 60.10% of the issued Shares. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate. The Company, however, has no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the effect that it will result in the public float to fall below 25% or such other minimum percentage prescribed by the Listing Rules from time to time.

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

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

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Companies Ordinance and the regulations set out in the Articles of Association.

9. REPURCHASE OF SHARES

During the previous six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company made the following repurchase of Shares on the Stock Exchange:

Highest Lowest Total
Date of No. of Shares price paid price paid consideration
Repurchases repurchased per Share per Share paid
