The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting of the Company to approve (i) the granting and extension of the General Issue Mandate; (ii) the granting of Buyback Mandate; and (iii) the re-election of retiring Directors.
2. GENERAL ISSUE MANDATE
Approval will be sought from the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to grant General Issue Mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with new Shares up to an aggregate of 15% of its issued Share capital as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution.

The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to allot, issue or deal with any new Shares pursuant to the General Issue Mandate under this ordinary resolution.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
By a separate resolution, it will be proposed that any Share repurchased by the Company following the granting of the Buyback Mandate will be added to the total number of Shares which may be issued under the General Issue Mandate.
The General Issue Mandate will continue in force until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required to be held by applicable law or the Bye-laws; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the General Issue Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting.
3. BUYBACK MANDATE
Given the general mandate to repurchase Shares granted by Shareholders at the last annual general meeting will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to an aggregate number of Shares not exceeding 10% of the number of issued and fully paid-up Shares at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution. The Buyback Mandate will continue in force until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required to be held by applicable law or the Bye-laws; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Buyback Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting.

A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.
Each of Mr Chan Yu Ching, Eugene, Mr Chan Tat Cheong, Alan, Dr Li Sau Hung, Eddy and Mr Mar, Selwyn shall retire at the Annual General Meeting under Bye-law 87 of the Company’s Bye-laws. All of them, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.
Also, Bye-law 88 of the Company’s Bye-laws provides that no person other than a Director retiring at the meeting shall, unless recommended by the Directors for election, be eligible for election as a Director at any general meeting unless a Notice signed by a Shareholder (other than the person to be proposed) duly qualified to attend and vote at the meeting for which such notice is given of his intention to propose such person for election and also a Notice signed by the person to be proposed of his willingness to be elected shall have been lodged at the head office or principal place of business or branch share registrar of the Company provided that the minimum length of the period, during which such Notice is given, shall be at least seven days and that the period for lodgment of such Notice shall commence no earlier than the day after the dispatch of the notice of the general meeting appointed for such election and shall end no later than seven days prior to the date of such general meeting.

5. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The notice convening the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 15 to 18 of this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution in relation to the granting of the Buyback Mandate to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.
1. LISTING RULES
The Listing Rules permit a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase its fully paid-up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 475,547,534. Subject to the passing of the resolution approving the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased following the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, exercise in full of the Buyback Mandate could accordingly result in up to 47,554,753 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period from the passing of the resolution granting the Buyback Mandate up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required to be held by applicable law or the Bye-laws; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Buyback Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting, whichever occurs first.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase the fully-paid Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value and/or its earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
The Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda to repurchase its own Shares. In the event that any repurchase will or will be likely to have a material adverse impact on the working capital of the Company, the Company will not proceed with such repurchase.
In the event that the Buyback Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, there may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position of the Company
– 8 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
as disclosed in the audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2016 as contained in the annual report 2016 of the Company. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances and in the opinion of the Directors of the Company, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing level.
5. GENERAL
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Buyback Mandate if such is granted by the Shareholders.
No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Buyback Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
If on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback 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 (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), 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, Man Yue Holdings Inc. is a company incorporated in the Bahamas and is wholly and beneficially owned by Ms Kee Chor Lin, the Chairman of the Company. If the Company exercises in full the Buyback Mandate, the shareholdings of Man Yue Holdings Inc. and the parties acting in concert with it, namely Ms Kee Chor Lin, Mr Chan Yu Ching, Eugene and Ms Chan Lok Yan, Lorraine in the issued share capital of the Company will increase from approximately 57.66% to approximately 64.07% and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
If as a result of the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate, the number of listed Shares which are in the hands of the public falls below the prescribed minimum of 25% as required by the Stock Exchange, the Company will not exercise the power to repurchase Shares.
– 9 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
6. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

All the repurchased shares were cancelled subsequently pursuant to Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules. Particulars of the repurchases are as follows:
