6. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except for purely procedural or administrative matters. The Chairman of the AGM will therefore put each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to be voted by way of a poll pursuant to article 66 of the Articles.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board

Fung Man Wai Samson Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Appendix is an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate and should be read in conjunction with the Letter from the Board on pages 4 to 7 of this Circular.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 184,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 18,400,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase of Shares will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase under the Repurchase Mandate would be derived from those funds of the Company which are legally permitted to be utilised in this connection.

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 accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2019 in the event that the repurchase(s) of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, 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 of the Company or its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

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

Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2018
October 1.40 0.93
November 1.30 0.98

July 1.09 0.95
August 0.97 0.80
September 0.90 0.72
October (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.90 0.78

6. UNDERTAKING AND DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

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, the Articles, and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company and no such person has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

7. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC FLOAT

If as a result of any repurchase(s) of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code, and, if such increase results in a change of control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for Shares under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, the following Shareholder(s) were interested in 5% or more of the Company’s issued share capital:

Percentage
Number of Percentage of holding if
Shares held of holding the
as at the as at the Repurchase
Latest Latest Mandate is
Practicable Practicable exercised in
**Name ** of Shareholder Date Date full
HSSP Limited (“HSSPL”) (Notes 1 & 2) 138,000,000 75.00% 83.33%

Notes:

  • (1) HSSPL is the Controlling Shareholder of the Company.

  • (2) HSSPL was held as to 62% by Mr. Fung Man Wai Samson and as to 38% by Mr. Fung Man Kam as at the Latest Practicable Date. Therefore, Mr. Fung Man Wai Samson and Mr. Fung Man Kam are deemed to be interested in the 138,000,000 Shares held by HSSPL under the Securities and Futures Ordinance.

Save as aforesaid and based on the information available to the Directors as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any consequences or implications which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of exercising the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no present intention of exercising the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors are also aware that the Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in the hands of the public. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in the Company failing to comply with the public float requirements under the Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.
