The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of certain resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for (i) the payment of final dividend; (ii) the re-election of the Retiring Directors; and (iii) the granting to the Directors of the Buy-back Mandate and the Issue Mandate.

PROPOSED PAYMENT OF FINAL DIVIDEND

As mentioned in the annual results announcement of the Company dated 27 March 2019, the Board recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK18 cents per Share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2018 out of the Share Premium Account to the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on Thursday, 30 May 2019. The final dividend payable amounts to HK$239,154,862, and subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and compliance with the Companies Law, it will be payable entirely out of the Share Premium Account.

Under section 34(2) of the Companies Law, the share premium account may be applied by a company paying dividends to members provided that no dividend may be paid to members out of the share premium account unless, immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be paid, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. The Board confirms that with respect to payment of the final dividend out of the Share Premium Account, the Company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business immediately following the date on which the final dividend is proposed to be paid.

As at 31 December 2018, based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, the amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account was HK$1,813,655,558. The Board proposed to use an amount of HK$239,154,862 standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account for the payment of the final dividend. Following such payment there will be a remaining balance of HK$1,574,500,696 standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account.

For the purpose of determining the entitlement to the proposed final dividend (subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting), the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 28 May 2019 to Thursday, 30 May 2019, both days inclusive.

PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY BACK SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 May 2018, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to buy back Shares.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the proposed granting of the Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 May 2018, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to issue Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue Shares if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Issue Mandate to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with unissued Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution (i.e. a total of 263,464,600 Shares on the basis that there is no change in the total number of issued Shares before the Annual General Meeting). An ordinary resolution to extend the Issue Mandate by adding the number of Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate will also be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARES IN ISSUE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 1,328,638,122 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate at the Annual General Meeting and on the basis that there will be no change in the total number of issued Shares before the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 1,328,638,122 Shares, the Directors would be authorised under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back, during the period in which the Buy-back Mandate remains in force, a total of 132,863,812 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the proposed granting of the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Shares buy-back may, depending on the 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 a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

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 audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018) in the event that the Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buy-back 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 ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

5. SHARES PRICES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Price Per Share
Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2018
March 7.54 4.83
April 7.72 6.44
May 7.65 6.08
June 9.20 7.35
July 8.63 7.46
August 8.41 5.31
September 5.22 4.40
October 4.51 3.65
November 4.32 3.85
December 4.48 3.84
2019
January 4.42 3.94
February 4.92 4.32
March 5.70 4.70
April (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) 6.33 6.18

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the proposed granting of the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the 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 proposed granting of the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to buy back Shares pursuant to the proposed Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, 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 interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Fantasia Holdings and Splendid Fortune are regarded as a group of shareholders acting in concert to exercise their voting right in the Company (“ Controlling Shareholders ”) and they together are interested in a total of 952,488,259 Shares representing approximately 71.68% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercised the proposed Buy-back Mandate in full, the shareholding of the Controlling Shareholders acting in concert would be increased to approximately 79.64% of the total issued share capital of the Company after the share buy-back. The Directors consider that such increase in shareholding would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but would reduce the issued share capital in the public to less than 25%.

The Directors will use their best endeavours to ensure that the Buy-back Mandate will not be exercised to such extent that would result in the public shareholdings falling below the minimum public float requirement under the Listing Rules.

8. BUY-BACK OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No Shares had been bought back by the Company, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, in the last six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
