PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AND SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT FOR THE AGM
In view of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic and recent guidelines for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM to protect the Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders who attend the AGM from the risk of infection:
-
(i) compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee. Any person with a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius or higher may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue;
-
(ii) the Company will require all attendees to wear surgical face masks before they are permitted to attend, and during their attendance of the AGM at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats (please bring your own mask);
-
(iii) no refreshment will be served at the AGM; and
-
(iv) no souvenirs will be distributed at the AGM.
Any person who does not comply with above requirements may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue. To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of other attendees at the AGM. In our case, denied entry to the AGM venue also means that person will not be allowed to attend the AGM.
In the interest of all stakeholders’ health and safety and in accordance with recent guidelines for prevention and control of the spread of COVID-19, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, the Shareholders may complete the proxy forms and appoint the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM instead of attending the AGM in person.
The proxy forms were despatched to the Shareholders together with this circular, and can otherwise be downloaded from the websites of the Company at www.gcl-poly.com.hk or the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk. If you are not a registered Shareholder (i.e. if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks, brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.
Seating at the Annual General Meeting venue will be arranged so as to allow for appropriate social distancing. As a result, there will be limited capacity for shareholders to attend the Annual General Meeting. The Company will limit attendance in person at the Annual General Meeting venue to 100 shareholders to ensure compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO BUY BACK SHARES
At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 17 June 2020 (‘‘2020 AGM’’), general mandates were given to the Directors (i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares; and (ii) to buy back Shares. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to give a fresh general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back, for a term and in the terms as stated in the said ordinary resolution, Shares of the Company in and up to a maximum of 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing such ordinary resolution.
In addition to the ordinary resolution regarding the Buy-back Mandate, two other ordinary resolutions will also be proposed at the AGM, one of which purports to grant to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 25,062,422,448 Shares. On the basis of no further Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares not exceeding 5,012,484,489 Shares, representing 20% of the aggregate number of the Shares in issue. Another ordinary resolution purports to extend the limit under the Issue Mandate if granted to the Directors by the number of Shares representing the number of Shares which may be bought back by the Company under the Buy-back Mandate.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
An explanatory statement, as required under the Listing Rules, providing the requisite information on the Buy-back Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with Articles 87(1) and (2) of the Articles of Association of the Company, the Directors retiring by rotation at the AGM namely, Mr. Zhu Gongshan, Mr. Zhu Yufeng, Ir. Dr. Ho Chung Tai, Raymond and Mr. Wong Man Chung, Francis, will offer themselves for re-election.
The Nomination Committee has considered the nomination of the retiring Directors in accordance with the Nomination Policy of the Company. Further, the Nomination Committee had also taken into account the respective contribution of Mr. Zhu Gongshan, Mr. Zhu Yufeng, Ir. Dr. Ho Chung Tai, Raymond and Mr. Wong Man Chung, Francis to the Board and their commitment to their role.
According to Code Provision A.4.3 of the Corporate Governance Code set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, the further appointment of any independent non-executive director who is serving for more than nine years should be subject to a
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
separate resolution to be approved by the shareholders. As Ir. Dr. Ho Chung Tai, Raymond has served the Company for more than nine years, his re-election at the AGM is subject to a separate resolution.
The nomination committee of the Company has reviewed and assessed the independence of Ir. Dr. Ho Chung Tai, Raymond and has formed the view that he has met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, taking into account, among others, his ability to exercise independence of judgment in relation to the Company’s affairs by scrutinising and monitoring the operation of the Board during his tenure of office and his annual confirmation of independence to the Company.
The Board is satisfied that notwithstanding that Ir. Dr. Ho Chung Tai, Raymond has served the Company for more than nine years, his independence is not affected by his tenure with the Company and his professional knowledge and business experience will continue to offer valuable contribution to the Board, the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Hence, the Board recommends Dr. Ho Chung Tai, Raymond to be re-elected at the AGM.
Biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$3,000,000,000 divided into 30,000,000,000 Shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.10 each, of which 25,062,422,448 Shares have been allotted and issued and fully paid or credited as fully paid. In order to accommodate future expansion and growth of the Group, the Directors propose to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$3,000,000,000 divided into 30,000,000,000 Shares of a par value of HK$0.10 each to HK$5,000,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 Shares of a par value of HK$0.10 each. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no present intention of issuing any part of such increased capital and does not have any equity fund raising plan.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Set out on pages 17 to 21 of this circular is a notice convening the AGM to consider and, if appropriate, to approve the ordinary resolutions relating to, among other things, the Issue Mandate, the Buy-back Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate, the re-election of retiring Directors and the increase in authorized share capital of the Company.
A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed. If you are not able to attend at the AGM in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at 54/F., Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK 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 to approve the Buy-back Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE BUY-BACK OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings on the Stock Exchange to buy back their own shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 25,062,422,448 fully paid-up Shares. On the basis of no further Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back up to a maximum of 2,506,242,244 fully paid-up Shares, representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date.
3. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK
The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
4. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK
Any buy-backs of Shares by the Company must be paid out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. The Company may not buyback 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 from time to time.
There may 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 2020 in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve calendar months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Highest | Lowest | |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2020 | ||
| October | 0.485 | 0.325 |
| November | 0.810 | 0.335 |
| December | 1.640 | 0.760 |
| 2021 | ||
| January | 2.830 | 1.130 |
| February | 3.880 | 2.180 |
| March | 3.370 | 1.980 |
Trading in the shares of the Company has been suspended since 9: 00 a.m. on 1 April 2021 and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates (as ascribed to it in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Buy-back Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Buy-back Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. 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 Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and exercised by the Board.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE
8. TAKEOVERS CODE
If on exercise of the powers of buy-back pursuant to the 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. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code) depending on the level of increase in the interest of the Shareholder(s), 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, and to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors based on the register kept by the Company under Section 336 of the SFO, a discretionary trust with Credit Suisse Trust Limited as the trustee and Mr. Zhu Gongshan and his family (including Mr. Zhu Yufeng, a Director and the son of Mr. Zhu Gongshan) (‘‘Mr. Zhu’s family’’) as beneficiaries indirectly interested in 6,370,388,156 Shares in issue, representing 25.42% of the total issued Shares of the Company.
In the event that the Directors exercise the Buy-back Mandate in full and assuming that the interest in 6,370,388,156 Shares of the relevant parties as mentioned above remain unchanged, the interest of Mr. Zhu’s family would be increased to approximately 28.24% of the issued share capital of the Company and Mr. Zhu’s family is unlikely to oblige to make a mandatory offer as referred to above as a result of share repurchase under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
Save as aforesaid, based on information known to date, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code even if the Buy-back Mandate was exercised in full.
Nevertheless, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, trigger any potential consequences under the Takeovers Code.
Any buy-back of Shares which result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the Shares then in issue could only be implemented with the approval of the Stock Exchange to waive the Listing Rules requirements regarding the public shareholding. It is believed that a waiver of this provision would not normally be granted other than in certain exceptional circumstances.
9. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY
During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
