EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information as to the proposed Buy-back Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE BUY-BACK OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to buy back 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 and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all buy-back of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders, either by way of a general buy-back mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,546,513,056 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 154,651,305 Shares, which represents 10% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution until the earliest of:

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

  • (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of the Company or the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or

  • (iii) revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting.

3. REASONS FOR THE BUY-BACK

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 buy back the Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed. Share buy-backs 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 buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

In buying back the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the Companies Law.

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Buy-back Mandate was 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 disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report). However, the Directors do not intend to make any buy-backs 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.

5. SHARE PRICES

The Shares are trading on the Stock Exchange and the highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the following months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
May 2016 0.64 0.53
June 2016 0.61 0.47
July 2016 0.54 0.48
August 2016 0.53 0.485
September 2016 0.57 0.38
October 2016 0.475 0.36
November 2016 0.38 0.34
December 2016 0.365 0.32
January 2017 0.37 0.30

April 2017 0.335 0.295
1 May 2017 to the Latest Practicable Date 0.335 0.31

6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases when the Company exercises its powers to buy back Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

  • (2) Ms. Carrie Wang is the spouse of Mr. John Yi Zhang, therefore, pursuant to the SFO, she is deemed to be interested in all the Shares in which Mr. John Yi Zhang is interested.

  • (3) The 164,059,384 Shares in which Mr. Zhang Zhen is deemed to be interested represent a maximum of 164,059,384 consideration Shares which may be issued to him or a company designated by him, assuming the maximum consideration will be paid and satisfied by the allotment and issue of such consideration Shares pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement entered into by, amongst others, the Company and Mr. Zhang Zhen, dated 7 July 2016.

Such exercise of the Buy-back Mandate in full to Buy-back the Shares will trigger an obligation on the part of Fonty to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not have any present intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as will trigger such obligation under the Takeovers Code.

The Directors will not exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
