The primary purpose of this circular is to give you the notice of Annual General Meeting and information regarding the following proposals to be put forward at the Annual General Meeting: (a) the grant to the Directors of the Issue Mandate and the Share Buy-back Mandate; (b) the grant to the Directors of the RSU Mandate; (c) the election of one new independent non-executive Director and (d) the re-election of the Directors who have offered themselves for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. ISSUE MANDATE

In order to ensure flexibility and give discretion to the Directors, in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to issue any new Shares, approval is to be sought from the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for a general mandate to issue Shares. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution no. 4(A) will be proposed to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares up to a maximum of 20 per cent of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Issue Mandate at the Annual General Meeting (subject to adjustment due to any subsequent Shares consolidation or subdivision effected by the Company).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total number of 138,187,143 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 4(A) and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back following the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Annual General Meeting and the Company did not effect any Shares consolidation or subdivision during such period, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 27,637,428 Shares.

In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution no. 4(C), the number of Shares bought back by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 4(B) will also be added to extend the 20 per cent limit of the Issue Mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution no. 4(A). The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate.

The Issue Mandate will continue to be in force from the passing of the said resolution until whichever the following first occurs: (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 of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; and (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under such ordinary resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

3. SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back Shares representing up to 10 per cent of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Share Buy-back Mandate at the Annual General Meeting (subject to adjustment due to any subsequent Shares consolidation or subdivision effected by the Company).

The Share Buy-back Mandate, if approved, will continue to be 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 of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

4. RSU MANDATE

Reference is made to the prospectus of the Company dated 19 September 2013 (the “Prospectus”). The RSU Scheme was adopted by a resolution of the Shareholders and a resolution of the Board, both on 1 September 2013. The RSU Scheme is not a share option scheme and is not subject to the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules as the RSU Scheme does not involve the grant of options by the Company to subscribe for new Shares. The purpose of the RSU Scheme is to reward the RSU Participants for their contribution to the success of the Company, and to provide incentives to them to further contribute to the Group.

As stated in the section headed “Statutory and General Information — RSU Scheme — (k) RSU Scheme Limit” in Appendix IV on Page IV-42 of the Prospectus, the number of RSUs to be granted under the RSU Scheme shall not result in the number of Shares underlying the RSUs exceeding 11,290,494, representing 9% of the number of Shares in issue at the Listing Date. The RSU Scheme Limit may be refreshed from time to time.

As stated in the section headed “Statutory and General Information — RSU Scheme — (l) Annual Mandate” in Appendix IV on Page IV-42 of the Prospectus, at each annual general meeting of the Company, the Company shall propose and the Shareholders shall consider and if thought fit, pass an ordinary resolution approving a mandate specifying (i) the maximum number of Shares that may be the subject of RSUs granted pursuant to the RSU Scheme during the period between one annual general meeting and the subsequent annual general meeting of the Company; and (ii) that the Board has the power to allot, issue and deal with the Shares that are the subject of the RSUs granted pursuant to the RSU Scheme as and when they vest. Accordingly, should the Directors wish to exercise its discretion to grant RSUs pursuant to the RSU Scheme between one annual general meeting and the subsequent annual general meeting of the Company, an annual mandate shall be sought from the Shareholders at the former annual general meeting of the Company.

The current RSU Scheme Limit entitled the Company to grant up to 11,290,494 RSUs. The Stock Exchange has granted listing approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the 11,290,494 Shares to be issued under the current RSU Scheme Limit. The Company has granted an aggregate of 4,260,000 RSUs to certain Directors and employees in 2016, 285,000 of which have been subsequently cancelled. An annual mandate to issue 7,180,494 Shares under the RSU Scheme was granted to the Board at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 23 May 2017 (the “2017 RSU Mandate”). Up to the Latest Practicable Date, nil RSUs had been granted under the 2017 RSU Mandate. The remaining number of the RSUs available for granting under the current RSU Scheme Limit as at the Latest Practical Date was 7,315,494. This is calculated as 11,290,494 less 4,260,000 (the total number of RSUs granted under the current RSU Scheme Limit) plus 285,000 (the number of RSUs cancelled).

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with the rules of the RSU Scheme, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant the RSU Mandate to the Directors to exercise the power to issue Shares under the RSU Scheme up to a maximum of 7,315,494 Shares, equal to the remaining number of the RSUs available for granting under the current RSU Scheme Limit as approved by the Shareholders on 1 September 2013. The relevant resolution is set out as ordinary resolution no. 4(D) in the notice of Annual General Meeting. Based on 138,187,143 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are bought back or issued and no Share Options are being granted or exercised prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Board shall be entitled upon the approval of the RSU Mandate to issue up to a maximum of 7,315,494 Shares, representing approximately 5.29 per cent. of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the RSU Mandate.

The RSU Mandate will continue to be in force from the passing of the said resolution until whichever the following first occurs: (i) the conclusion of the subsequent annual general meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the subsequent annual general meeting is required by the laws applicable to the Company and the Articles of Association; or (iii) the variation of or revocation of such mandate by the ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no concrete plan to grant any RSUs under the RSU Scheme. If the RSU Mandate is approved at the Annual General Meeting, the Directors may however exercise their discretion to consider granting the RSUs from time to time pursuant to the terms of the RSU Scheme.

5. ELECTION OF NEW DIRECTOR

In view of Ms. Poon’s retirement, Mr. WAN Joseph Jason is proposed to be elected as an independent non-executive Director with term commencing immediately after the Annual General Meeting.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to elect the above candidate as an independent non-executive Director and to authorise the Board to determine his remuneration.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

  • (i) the shares to be bought back by a company must be fully paid-up;

  • (ii) the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules; and

  • (iii) all on market buy-back of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such buy-back, and a copy of such resolution together with the necessary documentation have been delivered to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.

2. SHARES IN ISSUE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total number of 138,187,143 Shares with nominal value of US$0.0001 each in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back following the Latest Practicable Date and before the Annual General Meeting and the Company did not effect any Shares consolidation or subdivision during such period, the Company will be allowed to buy back a maximum of 13,818,714 Shares which represent 10 per cent of the total number of Shares in issue during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

3. REASONS AND FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back its Shares. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Buy-backs of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share buy-back may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the buy-back or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Companies Law. The amount of premium payable on buy-back may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Company’s Shares are bought back in the manner provided for in the Companies Law.

The Directors would only exercise the power to buy back in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors consider that if the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be exercised in full, it may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2017, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back 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. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interest, 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. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Foga Group was directly or indirectly interested in 21,673,338 Shares as disclosed pursuant to the SFO, which represented approximately 15.68% of the voting rights attaching to the issued share capital of the Company. Were the Share Buy-back Mandate to be exercised in full, which is considered to be unlikely in the current circumstances, Foga Group would (assuming that there is no change in relevant facts and circumstances) hold approximately 17.43% of the voting rights attaching to the issued share capital of the Company. It is considered that, in the absence of any special circumstances, an obligation to make a mandatory offer as referred to above as a result of a share buy-back is unlikely to arise. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any buy-backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the result of the buy-back would be that less than 25 per cent (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of shares in issue would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to buy back Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company has (i) notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company or (ii) undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the Articles of Association.

7. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not bought back any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately prior to the the Latest Practicable Date.
