The above general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval by way of ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to approve the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve the Repurchase Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 501,508,982 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution for repurchase of Shares and on the basis of no further new Shares will be issued or repurchased up to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 50,150,898 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital as at the date of AGM.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or the earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Any repurchase will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands. Such repurchases may only be effected out of profits of the Company or a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on a repurchase, out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, out of capital.
As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016 (being the date to which the latest audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Board does not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate nor does it consider that there would be any material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event the proposed repurchases were to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
5. GENERAL
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 of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2016 in the event that 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Share Prices | ||

| Highest | Lowest | |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2016 | ||

| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 1.010 | 0.990 |
- The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange have been adjusted pursuant to the Share Consolidation effective on 30 June 2016.
7. UNDERTAKING
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders.
– 8 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the Articles.
8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON
No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
9. TAKEOVERS CODE
If on exercise of the powers of repurchase 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 for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or 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 Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, Mr. King Pak Fu (‘‘Mr. King’’) is deemed to be interested in 146,129,500 Shares, representing approximately 29.14% of the issued Shares of the Company, among which, (i) 60,435,500 Shares are held through Affluent Start Holdings Investment Limited (‘‘Affluent Start’’); (ii) 64,512,000 Shares are held through Luck Success Development Limited (‘‘Luck Success’’); (iii) 17,182,000 Shares are held through Sino Wealthy Limited (‘‘Sino Wealthy’’); and (iv) 4,000,000 Shares held through Mystery Idea Limited (‘‘Mystery Idea’’). Sino Wealthy is wholly-owned by Bremwood Holdings Limited, both of Bremwood Holdings Limited and Luck Success are wholly-owned by Gauteng Focus Limited, which is wholly-owned by Rentian Technology Holdings Limited, the latter is owned as to 51.55% by Mystery Idea, which in turn, together with Affluent Start, are both wholly-owned by Mr. King. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, then the aggregate attributable interest of Mr. King would be increased from 29.14% to approximately 32.38% of the issued Shares of the Company. Mr. King and parties acting in concert with him are required to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Moreover, the Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
10. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
