Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution (‘‘Repurchase Resolution’’) will be proposed at the AGM to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase, at any time until the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the Repurchase Resolution or such earlier date as stated therein, Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the Repurchase Resolution (‘‘Repurchase Mandate’’).

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing such resolution (‘‘Issue Mandate’’). At the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued share capital of the Company is 793,191,000 shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 158,638,200 Shares.

In addition, if the Repurchase Mandate and Issue Mandate are granted, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate would continue in force until (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws to be held; or (c) the Repurchase Mandate and/or the Issue Mandate is/are revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Company in general meeting, whichever is the earliest.

PARTICULARS OF DIRECTORS PROPOSED TO BE RE-ELECTED

APPENDIX I

Save as disclosed above, there is no other information to be disclosed pursuant to the requirements of Rule 13.51(2)(h) to (v) contained in the Listing Rules.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06 (1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you to enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the Repurchase Resolution.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 793,191,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 79,319,100 Shares during the period which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, they believe that an ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Purchases and redemptions may only be effected out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017 contained in the 2017 Annual Report) in the event that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full during the period which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force.

The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company, which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchase of its own Shares.

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of repurchase(s) of Shares by the Company, 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 could, depending on the level of increase of his or their interest,

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged, for the aforementioned proportionate interest in the voting rights increases, to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar as the Directors are aware, the following Shareholders beneficially own 10% or more of the voting rights in the Company

				Approximate	Approximate
				percentage of	percentage of
				total issued	total issued
		Number of Shares	held	Shares as at the	Shares if the
	Directly	Through		Latest	Repurchase

Ms. Li Kei Ling (‘‘Ms. Li’’)	49,754,000	294,072,000	343,826,000	43.35%	48.16%
Mr. Hung Yung Lai
(‘‘Mr. Hung’’)	312,000	294,072,000	294,384,000	37.11%	41.24%
Fortune United Group Limited
(‘‘Fortune United’’)	294,072,000	—	294,072,000	37.07%	41.19%

Fortune United is owned as to 50% by Keysmart Enterprises Limited (‘‘Keysmart’’) and 50% by Hunwick International Limited (‘‘Hunwick’’). Keysmart is wholly-owned by Ms. Li and Hunwick is wholly-owned by Mr. Hung. Both Ms. Li and Mr. Hung are directors of the Company. Ms. Li, Mr. Hung, Fortune United, Keysmart and Hunwick (together, the ‘‘Concert Group’’) are presumed to be parties acting in concert with each other under the Takeovers Code in connection with their voting rights in the Company.

On the assumption that the issued share capital of Company remains at 793,191,000 Shares and there is no alteration to the existing shareholdings of the members of the Concert Group, if the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares in full pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the percentage of total issued Shares of Ms. Li, Mr. Hung and Fortune United will increase to approximately the respective percentage shown in the last column above. As a result, the Concert Group (and parties acting in concert with them) may be required to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code absent any waiver to do so being obtained. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent such that an obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code will be triggered.

SHARE REPURCHASE 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 Latest Practicable Date.
