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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to the Ordinary Resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorising the Repurchase Mandate. This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares comprised 548,408,822 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the Ordinary Resolution no. 5 in the AGM Notice and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be unconditionally allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 54,840,882 Shares, representing not more than 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such Ordinary Resolution, during the period from the date of the passing of such Ordinary Resolution until (i) the conclusion of the first annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of such Ordinary Resolution at which time the general mandates shall lapse unless, by ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or (ii) revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.
2. REASON FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have 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 repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or the earnings per Share of the Company.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and Articles of Association, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not repurchase its own 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.
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) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE

As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

-
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Manful Kingdom Limited held 279,815,740 Shares of the Company as beneficial owner. Mr. Fu held 35% direct interest in Manful Kingdom Limited. Therefore, Mr. Fu was deemed to be interested in 279,815,740 Shares of the Company through his controlled corporation, Manful Kingdom Limited, under the SFO.
-
Ms. Xia Bing is the spouse of Mr. Fu. Accordingly, Ms. Xia Bing was deemed to be interested in the Shares of the Company in which Mr. Fu was interested under the SFO.
On the basis of the current shareholdings of the above Shareholders, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may result in them becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of the above Shareholders, or any other persons acting in concert, to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares which would result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the total issued Shares of the Company. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
