EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information for Shareholders to consider the Share Repurchase Mandate.

(1) SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

The Listing Rules provide that all on-market shares repurchased by company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be of fully paid up shares and all share repurchases by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transactions.

Such authority may only continue in force during the period from the passing of the resolution in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate until the earlier of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the revocation or variation of such authority by ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting; and (iii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the bye-laws of the Company or any applicable law to be held.

(2) SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 11,209,602,920. Subject to the passing of the resolution in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 1,120,960,292 Shares, which represents 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolution.

(3) REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

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

(4) 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 bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution, or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of the repurchase to such extent allowable under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended). The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Further, the Company may not repurchase its own Shares if, on the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is or, after the repurchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due during the proposed repurchase period. Such proposed repurchase period means the period from the passing of the resolution in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate until whichever is the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting; and (iii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required the bye-laws of the Company or any applicable laws to be held.

There might be a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Group, as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report, in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirement of the Company or the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

(5) SHARE PRICES

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

Price per Share Price per Share
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
April 2019 0.144 0.105
May 2019 0.117 0.091
June 2019 0.110 0.087

Practicable Date) 0.135 0.115

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

(6) UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the resolution in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

(7) DIRECTORS, CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

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

No core connected persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

(8) EFFECTS OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, based on the latest disclosure of interests forms filed with the Stock Exchange, approximately 63.53% of the total number of Shares in issue was indirectly held by Mr. Wu Po Sum, an executive Director and the controlling shareholder of the Company and, assuming full exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate given to the Directors, approximately 70.59% of the total number of Shares in issue will be indirectly held by Mr. Wu Po Sum. Such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, cause any takeover obligation of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert.

(9) SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
