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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating the Proposed Change of Auditors and the notice of the EGM to be convened and held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the ordinary resolution in relation to the appointment of auditors.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Ernst & Young has confirmed that from their perspective there are no matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company. Both the Board and the Audit Committee confirmed that there is no disagreement between the Company and Ernst & Young and that there are no matters or circumstances in respect of the proposed change of auditor which should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company.

The Board confirmed that Ernst & Young has not commenced any audit work on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2018. The Board believes that the change of auditors will not have any impact on the annual audit works of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2018.

The Board, with the recommendation from the Audit Committee, has resolved to propose the appointment of ZHONGHUI as new auditors of the Company to fill the casual vacancy following the resignation of Ernst & Young and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. The appointment of ZHONGHUI as auditors of the Company in place of Ernst & Young is subject to the approval by the Shareholders by an ordinary resolution at the EGM to be convened pursuant to the Articles.

Pursuant to Article 158, if the office of auditor becomes vacant by the resignation or death of the auditor, or by his becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when his services are required, the Directors shall as soon as practicable convene an extraordinary general meeting to fill the vacancy. Article 155(3) provides that Shareholders shall by ordinary resolution at that meeting appoint another auditor in stead of the resigned auditor for the remainder of his term.

A notice convening the EGM to be held at 50th Floor, Bank of China Tower, 1 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong on Friday, 1 February 2019 at 11:00 a.m. is set out on pages 5 to 6 of this circular. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the EGM to approve the proposed appointment of auditors.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy, in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so desire and in such case, the form of proxy shall be deemed to the revoked.
