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.

— i —

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

The Board has made reference to the “Joint Statement in relation to General Meetings in light of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation” jointly issued by the Stock Exchange and the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong on 1 April 2020 in relation to the arrangement of the AGM.

Voting by proxy in advance of the AGM:

The Company does not in any way wish to diminish the opportunity available to the Shareholders to exercise their rights and to vote, but is conscious of the pressing need to protect the Shareholders from possible exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the health and safety of the Shareholders, the Company would like to encourage Shareholders to exercise their right to vote at the AGM by appointing the chairman of the AGM as their proxy instead of attending the AGM in person. Physical attendance is not necessary for the purpose of exercising Shareholders’ rights. Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude the Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should they subsequently so wish.

Precautionary measures at the AGM

The Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM to safeguard the health and safety of the attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders:

  • (i) Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every attendee at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.5 degrees Celsius will be requested to stay in an isolated place for completing the voting procedures.

  • (ii) Every attendee will be required to wear a surgical face mask throughout the AGM. Please note that no masks will be provided at the AGM venue and attendees should bring and wear their own masks.

  • (iii) If the number of attendees at the AGM exceeds 20 persons or the upper limited stipulated by the relevant government authorities on the date of the AGM, the attendees will be separated in different rooms or partitioned areas, each accommodating not more than 20 persons or the upper limited stipulated by the relevant government authorities on the date of the AGM.

— ii —

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

  • (iv) Seating at the AGM will be arranged so as to reduce interaction between participants.

  • (v) No refreshments will be served and there will be no corporate gifts.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue so as to ensure the health and safety of the attendees at the AGM.

The Company will closely monitor the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and any regulations or measures introduced or to be introduced by the Government in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will ensure that the AGM will be conducted in compliance with the regulations or measures of the Government and Shareholders will not be deprived of their right of voting on the resolution to be proposed at the AGM. Further announcements will be made by the Company as soon as possible if there is any update to the preventive measures as mentioned above.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies with primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully paid-up Shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the GEM Listing Rules to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REPURCHASES OF SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 599,790,541 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution set out in item 4(B) of the AGM Notice in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and assuming no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Directors would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, up to a maximum total of 59,979,054 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the AGM.

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 in the market. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its members. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value per share of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchases will be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Articles, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the GEM Listing Rules. The Cayman Islands laws provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either 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

— 15 —

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

paid out of either the profit that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of share premium of the Company. Under the Cayman Islands laws, the repurchased shares will remain part of the authorised but unissued share capital of the Company.

If the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, the Directors intend to apply the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend for any purchase of its Shares. 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 financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the nine months ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. The Directors do not propose to exercise the 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 its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2020
March 0.600 0.390
April 0.450 0.400
May 0.510 0.440

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. UNDERTAKING AND GENERAL

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Memorandum of Association and the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has he/she/it undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. 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 purpose 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors based on the register kept by the Company under Section 336 of the SFO, (i) Mr. Wu Jianwei and Mr. Liang Zihao, together with their associates and parties acting in concert with them, directly or indirectly, owns an aggregate of 235,603,225 Shares, representing approximately 39.28% of the issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) Mr. So Wing Keung, together with his associates and parties acting in concert with him, directly or indirectly, owns an aggregate of 81,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 13.50% of the issued share capital of the Company. Upon full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the aggregate shareholding of Mr. Wu Jianwei and Mr. Liang Zihao and their associates and parties acting in concert with them would be increased to approximately 43.65% of the issued share capital of the Company and the aggregate shareholding of Mr. So Wing Keung and his associates and parties acting in concert with him would be increased to approximately 15.01% of the issued share capital of the Company.

— 17 —

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors consider that such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares to an extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. Further, the Directors will ensure that the Company will fully comply with the Takeovers Code when exercising the Repurchase Mandate. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

In addition, in exercising the Repurchase Mandate (whether in full or otherwise), the Directors will ensure that the Company shall comply with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules, including the minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors based on the register kept by the Company under Section 336 of the SFO, an aggregate of 209,900,000 Shares are in public hands, representing 35% of the issued share capital of the Company. Upon full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the aggregate shareholding of the public shall fall to approximately 27.78% of the issued share capital of the Company.

As such, the Directors consider that the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate complies with the requirement of the minimum percentage of Shares are held in public hands as stated in the GEM Listing Rules.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares have been made by the Company during the past six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date (whether on GEM or otherwise).

APPENDIX III

PROCEDURES FOR POLL VOTING

Pursuant to Rule 17.47(4) of the GEM Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the meeting, in good faith and in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, each resolution set out in the AGM Notice which is put to vote at the AGM shall be decided by poll.

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representatives, shall have one vote for every Share of which he/she is the holder.

A Shareholder present in person or by proxy or by authorised representatives who is entitled to more than one vote does not have to use all his/her votes (i.e., he/she can cast less votes than the number of Shares he/she holds or represents) or to cast all his/her votes the same way (i.e. he/she can cast some of his/her votes in favour of the resolution and some of his/her votes against the resolution).

The poll voting slip will be distributed to the Shareholders or their proxies or authorised representatives upon registration of attendance at the AGM. Shareholders who want to cast all their votes entitled may mark a “✓” in either “FOR” or “AGAINST” box corresponding to the resolution to indicate whether he/she supports that resolution. For Shareholders who do not want to use all their votes or want to split votes in casting a particular resolution shall indicate the number of votes cast on a particular resolution in the “FOR” or “AGAINST” box, where appropriate, but the total votes cast must not exceed his/her entitled votes, or otherwise, the voting slip will be spoiled and the Shareholder’s vote will not be counted.

After closing the poll, the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, will act as scrutineer and count the votes and the poll results will be published after the AGM.
