Since 2013, he has also been a non-executive director of SiS Distribution (Thailand) Public Company Limited, a company whose shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (BKK stock code: SIS). Mr. Lim is also a director of Information Technology Consultants Limited, a company whose shares are listed on The Dhaka Stock Exchange and The Chittagong Stock Exchange on 10 January 2016 (DSE stock code: ITC, CSE stock code: ITC).

He is also a director of Gold Sceptre Limited which holds approximately 51 per cent shareholding in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Mr. Lim received a director fee and emoluments of total HK$4,308,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020.

LEE Hiok Chuan, as an independent non-executive director, aged 86, joined the Group in 1992 and is an investment consultant in Hong Kong. Mr. Lee has more than forty years’ experience in finance and banking in Hong Kong.

The term of office of Mr. Lee Hiok Chuan as the independent non-executive director is the period up to his retirement by rotation in accordance with the Company’s Bye-Laws.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Lee had personal interest in 250,000 Shares and 120,000 share options in the Company and 64,000 shares in the associated corporation within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO. He received a director emoluments of total HK$280,000 for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Save as disclosed above, none of the above Directors have service contracts for a specified term with the Company or its subsidiaries, did not hold any directorships in other listed companies in the last three years, and have no other relationship with any Director, senior management or substantial or controlling shareholders of the Company.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF SHARES

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to shareholders for their consideration of the repurchase mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 277,966,666 Shares in issue.

The exercise of the mandates in full, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, could accordingly result in up to (i) 55,593,333 Shares being allotted and issued; and (ii) 27,796,666 Shares being repurchased by the Company.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the mandate will provide the flexibility to make such repurchases when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases may enhance the net assets value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. The Company is empowered under its Memorandum of Association to repurchase Shares pursuant to and in accordance with Section 42A of The Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended. The Bye-laws supplement the Company’s Memorandum of Association by providing that this power is exercisable by the Directors upon such terms and subject to such conditions as they think fit. Bermuda law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant repurchased shares, or the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on redemption may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of the share premium or contributed surplus accounts of the Company. Under Bermuda law, a company’s repurchased Shares shall be treated as cancelled upon purchase and the company’s issued share capital diminished by the nominal value of those shares accordingly (but such repurchase is not to be taken as reducing the amount of the company’s authorised share capital).

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 (being the date of its latest published audited accounts), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF SHARES

4. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months and the period from 1 April 2021 to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Per Share
Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
April 2020 1.95 1.90

September 2020 1.59 1.51
October 2020 1.51 1.51

March 2021 1.45 1.25

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquires, none of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the mandate is approved by shareholders, to sell the Shares to the Company.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell the Shares to the Company nor has he/she undertaken not to do so in the event that the Company is authorised to make purchase of the Shares.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the propose resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Bermuda, and in accordance with the regulations set out in Memorandum of Association and the Bye-laws of the Company.

– 6 –

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF SHARES

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

A repurchase of Shares by the Company may result in any increase in the proportionate interests of a substantial shareholder of the Company in the voting rights of the Company, which could give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Merger (the ‘‘Takeovers Code’’).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, Gold Sceptre Limited held approximately 51 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors of the Company should exercise in full the power to repurchase the Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the resolution, the shareholding of Gold Sceptre Limited in the Company would be increased to approximately 56 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company did not purchase any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
