An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

The Board currently consists of six Directors, namely Dr. WONG Yun Kuen and Mr. CHENG Wai Lun, Andrew, as executive Directors, Mr. CHAN Chung Yee, Alan, Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung, Mr. TANG Hon Bui, Ronald and Mr. KWOK Ming Fai as independent non-executive Directors.

According to article 157 of the Articles of Association and The Corporate Governance Code in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, any contractual or other terms on which any Director may be appointed or engaged, at each annual general meeting one third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three (3), then 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 at least once every three years.

Pursuant to Article 157 of the Articles of Association, Mr. CHENG Wai Lun, Andrew and Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung shall retire by rotation at the AGM, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to re-elect each of Mr. CHENG Wai Lun, Andrew, as executive Director and Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung as independent non-executive Directors.

5

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung has served on the Board for more than 9 years but he has never held any executive or management position in the Group nor has he throughout such period been under the employment of any member of the Group. In accordance with the code provision A.4.3 of the Corporate Governance Code, the re-election of Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by Shareholders at the AGM. The Directors noted the positive contributions of Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung to the development of the Company’s strategy and policies through independent, constructive and informed contributions supported by his skills, expertises and qualifications and from his active participations at meetings. Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung has given the annual confirmations of his independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules to the Company and the nomination committee of the Company has assessed and is satisfied of the independence of Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung. Hence, the Board considers that the long services of Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung would not affect his exercises of independent judgments, and therefore considers Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung to be independent and recommends Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung to be re-elected.

Particulars relating to Mr. CHENG Wai Lun, Andrew and Dr. FUNG Lewis Hung are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CORE CONNECTED PARTIES

The Listing Rules prohibit the Company from knowingly purchasing its securities on the Stock Exchange from a core connected person, that is, a Director, chief executive or Substantial Shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a close associate of any of them and a core connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling to the Company his/her/its securities of the Company.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is passed.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,271,732,200 fully paid Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 127,173,220 fully paid Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s cash flow or working capital facilities, which will be funds legally available for such purpose under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 31 March 2021, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Board does not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve calendar months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

June 0.080 0.057
July 0.066 0.053

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws of Cayman Islands.

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders are interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue:

Name Number of Shares Percentage holding
Fung Fai Growth Limited_(Note 1)_ 340,000,000 26.74%
Kingswell Holdings Group Limited_(Note 2)_ 192,000,000 15.10%

Note:

  1. The shares are held by Fung Fai Growth Limited, an associated corporation (within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO) of the Company. Mr. Cheng Wai Lun, Andrew (“ Mr. Cheng ”) and their family members are one of the beneficiaries of the trust which assets include interests in the entire issued share capital of Fung Fai Growth Limited and accordingly, they are deemed to be interested in 340,000,000 shares and the entire issued share capital of Fung Fai Growth Limited under the SFO.

  2. The entire issued share capital of Kingswell Holdings Group Limited is owned by Mr. Leong Chi Wai. Mr. Leong Chi Wai does not hold any position or role in the UBA Group.

Name Percentage holding
Fung Fai Growth Limited 29.71%
Kingswell Holdings Group Limited 16.78%

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding interest of Mr. Cheng in the Company would be increased to approximately 29.71% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not consider such increase would reduce the issued share capital in the public to less than 25% (or the relevant prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange). The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

7. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the date of this circular.
