LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Details of Mr. Ma Siu Kit, the Director proposed to be re-elected at the AGM, are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The Nomination Committee of the Company (the ‘‘Nomination Committee’’) has reviewed the biographical information of the retiring Director, and considered that the re-election of Mr. Ma Siu Kit as an independent non-executive Director would be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole by taking into accounts that Mr. Ma Siu Kit is a member of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. He has over 20 years of accounting related experience from accounting firms and international companies. His working profile, other experience and factors as set out in Appendix II to this circular. His depth of knowledge and experience can support his role and he actively participated in the Company’s board meetings and board committee meetings, and made valuable contributions to the Group.

The Nomination Committee is satisfied that Mr. Ma Siu Kit has the required character, integrity and experience to continuously fulfil his role as an independent non-executive Director effectively.

The Nomination Committee has also assessed the independence of Mr. Ma Siu Kit based on reviewing his annual written confirmation of independence to the Company pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that he remains independent.

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 550,000,000 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 55,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the number of issued Shares 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

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles or the laws of Cayman Islands and any other applicable laws, including capital paid upon the Shares to be repurchased, profits otherwise available for distribution and sums standing to either the share premium account or contributed surplus account of the Company.

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 March 2019 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

– 7 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

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$
2018
July 0.670 0.550
August 0.690 0.530
September 0.550 0.500
October 0.520 0.400
November 0.560 0.415
December 0.490 0.410
2019
January 0.500 0.370
February 0.500 0.440
March 0.500 0.420
April 0.460 0.410
May 0.450 0.370
June 0.400 0.360
July (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) 0.375 0.350

7. UNDERTAKING

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), 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 Cayman Islands.

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 AND MINIMUM PUBLIC SHAREHOLDING

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, eprint Limited, the controlling Shareholder, holds 313,125,000 Shares, representing approximately 56.93% of the number of issued Shares as the Latest Practicable Date. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, then the attributable interest of eprint Limited would be increased from 56.93% to 63.26% of the number of issued Shares. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

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.

– 9 –
