CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher 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.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

In view of the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) (‘‘COVID-19’’) situation, the Company will be taking the following precautionary measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  • . Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every Shareholder, proxy or other attendee at each entrance of the meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue at the Company’s discretion.

  • . The Company encourages each attendee to wear a surgical face mask throughout the meeting and inside the meeting venue, and to maintain a safe distance between.

In addition, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

This circular contains further information relating to the resolutions proposed so as to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolutions proposed. A notice for convening the AGM is also set out in this circular and a form of proxy is included for your further action.

GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATE, REPURCHASE MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE

Pursuant to the ordinary resolutions passed by the then Shareholders at the 2020 AGM, the Directors were granted (a) a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the number of issued Shares on the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution; (b) a general and unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the number of issued Shares on the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution; and (c) the power to extend the general mandate mentioned in (a) above by an amount representing the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the mandate to repurchase Shares referred to in (b) above.

The above general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM. At the 2021 AGM, the following resolutions, among other matters, will be proposed:

  • (a) to grant the General Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with the Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the number of issued Shares on the date of passing of such resolution. On the assumption that 763,200,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the 2021 AGM, the maximum number of Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the General Mandate will be 152,640,000;

  • (b) to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to enable them to repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange up to a maximum of 10% of the number of issued Shares on the date of passing of such resolution. On the assumption that 763,200,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no Shares will be issued or purchased prior to the 2021 AGM, the maximum number of Shares to be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 76,320,000; and

  • (c) to grant the Extension Mandate to the Directors to increase the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the General Mandate by an additional number representing such number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

Each of the General Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate will expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next AGM following the 2021 AGM; (b) the expiration of the period with which the next AGM is required by the Articles or any applicable law of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) the date on which such mandate granted under this resolution is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next AGM.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to allot and issue any new Shares other than such Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of any options granted under the Share Option Scheme.

Under the GEM Listing Rules, the Company is required to give the Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at the 2021 AGM. An explanatory statement for such purpose is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprises two executive Directors, namely, Mr. Tan Seow Gee and Mr. Gay Teo Siong, one non-executive Director, namely, Mr. Choi Wai Tong Winton and three independent non-executive Directors, namely, Ms. Chan Oi Chong, Ms. Luk Huen Ling Claire and Mr. Yim Harrison Chun Fung.

According to Article 84, at each AGM one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation at the AGM at least once every three years.

Accordingly, Mr. Gay Teo Siong and Ms. Luk Huen Ling Claire will offer themselves for re-election at 2021 AGM.

According to Article 83, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following AGM of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election.

Accordingly, Mr. Choi Wai Tong Winton and Mr. Yim Harrison Chun Fung will offer themselves for re-election at 2021 AGM.

The Nomination Committee has assessed and reviewed the annual written confirmation of independence of each of the independent non-executive Directors based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules and considered that, amongst other independent non-executive Directors, Mr. Yim Harrison Chun Fung and Ms. Luk Huen Ling Claire remain independent. The Nomination Committee has also assessed and evaluated the performance of each of the retiring Directors during the year ended 31 December 2020 based on the nomination policy of the Company which was disclosed in the 2020 Annual Report and found their performance satisfactory. The Nomination Committee is also of the view that based on the perspectives, skills and experience of Mr. Gay Teo Siong, Mr. Choi Wai Tong Winton, Ms. Luk Huen Ling Claire and Mr. Yim Harrison Chun Fung, they can bring further contributions to the Board and its diversity. Upon the nomination of the Nomination Committee, the Board has

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

recommended them to stand for re-election as Directors at the 2021 AGM. For good corporate governance, each of the retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders.

Details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the 2021 AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

REFRESHMENT OF THE EXISTING LIMIT ON THE GRANT OF OPTIONS UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Share Option Scheme was adopted on 30 August 2017. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant options to attract, retain and reward the eligible Participants as incentives or rewards for their contributions to the Group and by enabling such persons’ contribution to further advance the interests of the Group. When determining the eligibility of the Participants other than any director or employee of the Group, the Company will consider (1) such person’s contribution to the development and performance of the Group (including but not limited to networking and/or business opportunity provided to the Group to maximise the interest of the Group); (2) the quality of work performed by such person for the Group; (3) the initiative and commitment of such person in performing his/her duties; (4) the length of service or contribution of such person to the Group; and (5) such other factors as considered to be applicable by the Board. Consultants and advisers may provide valuable advices to the Group and they can be eligible to the share options in light of such advices.

Pursuant to Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under a share option scheme and any other schemes of a listed issuer must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities of the listed issuer (or the subsidiary) in issue as at the date of approval of the share option scheme. Options lapsed in accordance with the share option scheme will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the 10% limit. The listed issuer may seek approval by its shareholders in general meeting for ‘‘refreshing’’ the 10% limit under the share option scheme. However, the total number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under all of the schemes of the listed issuer (or the subsidiary) under the limit as ‘‘refreshed’’ must not exceed 10% of the relevant class of securities in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit. Options previously granted under the schemes (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as ‘‘refreshed’’. The GEM Listing Rules also provide that the limit on the number of securities which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the share option scheme and any other schemes must not exceed 30% of the relevant class of securities of the listed issuer (or the subsidiary) in issue from time to time.

Since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme and up to the Latest Practicable Date, options carrying the right to subscribe for 57,600,000 Shares have been granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme at the exercise price of HK$0.078 per Share on 9 April 2021, of which 7,200,000 options were granted to each of the Directors, namely Mr. Tan Seow Gee,

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Gay Teo Siong, Mr. Choi Wai Tong Winton and Ms. Luk Huen Ling Claire; and 28,800,000 options were granted to four employees of the Group. For further details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 9 April 2021. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 43,200,000 options have been exercised.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 14,400,000 of the options granted under the Share Option Scheme remained outstanding, which represents approximately 1.89% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. Unless the Existing Scheme Limit was ‘‘refreshed’’, only 2,400,000 Shares (representing 4% of the Existing Scheme Limit) might be issued pursuant to the grant of further options under the Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no current plans to grant further share options under the Existing Scheme Limit prior to the proposed refreshment.

The Directors consider that the Company should refresh the Existing Scheme Limit so that the Company could have more flexibility to provide incentives to the Participants by way of granting share options to them. If the refreshment of the Existing Scheme Limit is approved at the 2021 AGM, based on the 763,200,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that the number of issued Shares remains unchanged on the date of the 2021 AGM, the Company will be allowed under the ‘‘refreshed limit’’ to grant options carrying the rights to subscribe for up to a total of 76,320,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of 2021 AGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no current plans to grant any share options upon the proposed refreshment of the Existing Scheme Limit.

Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force. Apart from the outstanding 14,400,000 options granted under the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no outstanding options to subscribe for Shares.

None of the grantees has been granted with options which exceed the limit of 1% of the issued Shares in the 12 months period up to and including the respective dates of grant as set out in note to Rule 23.03(4) of the GEM Listing Rules and the Company is in compliance with Rule 23.03(4) of the GEM Listing Rules in this regard.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares which might fall to be issued upon the exercise of all outstanding options under the Share Option Scheme is 14,400,000, representing approximately 1.89% of the Shares in issue as at Latest Practicable Date. If the refreshment of the Existing Scheme Limit is approved at the 2021 AGM, the total of existing outstanding options of the Company and the options to be granted under the ‘‘refreshed limit’’ will be 90,720,000 representing approximately 11.89% of the issued shares and will not exceed 30% of the issued Shares.

The Directors consider that the refreshment of the Existing Scheme Limit is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole because it enables the Company to reward and motivate its employees and other Participants under the Share Option Scheme. The refreshment of the Existing Scheme Limit is conditional upon: (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution at the 2021 AGM to approve the said refreshment; and (ii) the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in any new Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

subscription rights attaching to the options that may be granted under the refreshed limit of the Share Option Scheme up to 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution at the 2021 AGM.

Application will be made to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for granting the listing of, and permission to deal in any new Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the options that may be granted under the refreshed limit of the Share Option Scheme up to 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution at the 2021 AGM.

In order to ascertain the entitlements to attend the AGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from 24 June 2021 (Thursday) to 29 June 2021 (Tuesday) (both dates inclusive) during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This explanatory statement relates to the resolution proposed to be passed at the AGM authorising the grant of the Repurchase Mandate. It contains all the information under Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against such ordinary resolution.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 763,200,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution (the ‘‘Resolution’’) to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of the Resolution, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 76,320,000 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the Resolution).

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchases will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purposes in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Shares may only be repurchased out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of repurchase. The premium, if any, payable on repurchases must have been provided for out of the profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account before or at the time the shares are repurchased. The Company may not purchase Shares on 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. GENERAL

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 Company’s audited financial statements contained in the 2020 Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the

– 10 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

8. CONSEQUENCES UNDER 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, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, 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.

On the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged and no Shares are repurchased prior and on the date of the 2021 AGM, the Directors are not aware of any consequence that would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full.

The Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under rule 26 or rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors will not repurchase the Shares on GEM if the repurchase would result in the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below 25%, being the relevant minimum prescribed percentage for the Company as required by the GEM Listing Rules.

9. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
