CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. 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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to shareholders pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate which, if approved, would authorize the Directors to repurchase the Shares.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,200,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution number 4 set out in the notice of the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 220,000,000 Shares during the course of the period from the date of passing the relevant resolution up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders general meeting, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares of the Company in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its shareholders.

3. 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 GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not repurchase its own shares on the 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.

4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the

– 7 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate of the Company.

5. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquires, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has notified the Company of any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

6. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the GEM during each of the calendar months since June 2016 were as follows:

		Shares
	Highest		Lowest
	HK$		HK$
2016
June	0.220		0.180
July	0.260		0.185
August	0.280		0.190
September	0.219		0.188
October	0.223		0.193
November	0.231		0.202
December	0.236		0.202
2017

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

7. SHARES PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the GEM or otherwise) since the listing of the shares on the GEM and up to the Latest Practicable Date.

8. THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 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 Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Ms. Au Suet Ming Clarea (“Ms. Au”) is deemed to be interested in 1,500,000,000 Shares through Zillion Profit Limited, being the substantial shareholder of the Company, representing 68.18% of the total issued share capital of the Company. If the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the shareholding of Ms. Au would be increased to approximately 75.76%. Such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However it would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

Currently, the Directors have no intention to exercise the powers of the Company to make any repurchases of the Shares of the Company. In any event, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent which will trigger off the mandatory offer requirement pursuant to the rules of the Takeovers Code or which will result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%, the minimum prescribed percentage for the Shares to be held by the public after listing of the Shares on the GEM.

9. CONNECTED PERSON

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