CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ISSUE MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 16 June 2020 (“ 2020 AGM ”), general mandates were granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to issue new Shares and to repurchase Shares respectively.

Such mandates granted at the 2020 AGM will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, the Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate.

Issue Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed such that the Directors be given a general and unconditional mandate (i.e. the Issue Mandate) to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares or underlying shares of the Company (other than by way of rights or pursuant to a share option scheme for employees of the Company or Directors and/or any of its subsidiaries or pursuant to any scrip dividend scheme or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of whole or part of the dividend on Shares in accordance with the Articles) or make or grant offers, agreements and options (including warrants, bonds, debentures, notes and other securities which carry rights to subscribe for or are convertible into shares of the Company), which might require the exercise of such power, of an aggregate amount of up to 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution granting such mandate.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will further be proposed for extending the Issue Mandate authorising the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Details on the Repurchase Mandate are further elaborated below.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had an aggregate of 426,286,705 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 85,257,341 Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any plan to issue any Shares under the Issue Mandate.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Repurchase Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed such that the Directors be given a general and unconditional mandate to repurchase issued and fully paid Shares (i.e. the Repurchase Mandate) on the Stock Exchange of an aggregate amount of up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution granting such Mandate.

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 42,628,670 Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any plan to repurchase any Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Issue Mandate (including the extended Issue Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issue Mandate (including the extended Issue Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate 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 the Articles, the Companies Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company revoking or varying the authority given to the Directors.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

An explanatory statement containing all relevant information relating to the proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement is to provide the Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant the Directors the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of six Directors, namely Mr. Cheung Kwok Wai, Elton, Mr. Mung Kin Keung and Mr. Mung Bun Man, Alan as executive Directors; and Mr. Fung Wai Ching, Mr. Law Kwok Ho, Kenward and Mr. Lai Hok Lim as independent non-executive Directors.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to Article 87(1), at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years.

Mr. Mung Bun Man, Alan (“ Mr. Alan Mung ”) and Mr. Law Kwok Ho, Kenward (“ Mr. Law ”) shall retire by rotation at the AGM in accordance with Article 87(1).

All the above retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Mr. Law is an existing independent non-executive Director. Mr. Law, being independent non-executive Director eligible for re-election at the AGM, has made an annual confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules. Mr. Law graduated from University of New South Wales, Australia with a Bachelor of Commerce in Accountancy. He is a member of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and a Certified Practising Accountant of CPA Australia. Mr. Law has experiences in auditing, taxation and finance for over 21 years. Mr. Law is presently the general manager of a consultancy company in Hong Kong. With his accounting and financial academic background, skills and experience as well as his professional qualification, Mr. Law has demonstrated the ability to provide an independent view on the Company’s matters in different perspectives and his presence in the Board contributes to the diversity of the Board.

The Board is of the view that Mr. Law is able to continue to fulfill his role as an independent non-executive Director and thus recommends him for re-election at the AGM. Further, the Board is also of the view that Mr. Law meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the terms of the guidelines.

Details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Existing Share Option Scheme

The Existing Share Option Scheme had a term of 10 years and will expire on 18 May 2021. The Directors propose to adopt the New Share Option Scheme and terminate the Existing Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no outstanding share options under the Existing Share Option Scheme. There was no other share option scheme put in place by the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Proposed adoption of the New Share Option Scheme

The Directors are of the view that the New Share Option Scheme will allow the Group to incentivise and reward Eligible Participants who have or may have contribution to the Group and to encourage Eligible Participants to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and the Shares for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Other than full time or part time employees of the Group, Eligible Participants shall also include those persons who are not employees of any member of the Group, but who may otherwise contribute to the business affairs, development and growth of the Group. The Board considers it is appropriate as the long-term growth and development of the Group do not only depend on the co-operation and contributions from the employees but also require other parties who play crucial roles that generate actual or potential contribution to the business, development and growth of Group. The grant of the Options will also incentivise the Eligible Participants to introduce the Group with potential business opportunities, advice and/or recommendations to the Group in its travelling business, treasury management business, money lending business and provision of securities, asset management and financial advisory services. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not identified any potential business opportunities. The Board considers that upon granting of the Option to the Eligible Participants other than employees of any member of the Group, their interests and objectives will be aligned with that of the Group and common interests will be shared among the Eligible Participants and the Group.

The Board believes that the authority given to the Board under the New Share Option Scheme to specify any minimum holding period and/or performance targets as conditions in any Option granted and the requirement for a minimum Subscription Price as well as the authority to select the Eligible Participants as prescribed by the New Share Option Scheme will serve the aim to protect the value of the Company and place the Group in a better position to attract and retain valuable human resources as detailed above.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The adoption of the New Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of the necessary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve and adopt the New Share Option Scheme and terminate the Existing Share Option Scheme; and

  • (ii) the GEM Listing Committee granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, such number of Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the Options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New Share Option Scheme (up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM).

Application will be made to the GEM Listing Committee for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Options that may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme i.e. up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Option had been agreed to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme.

The Directors consider it is inappropriate to state the value of all options that can be granted pursuant to the New Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted at the Latest Practicable Date since a number of variables crucial for the calculation cannot be determined. Such variables include the Subscription Price, exercise period, any conditions which the Options are subject to and other relevant variables. The Directors believe that any statement regarding the value of the Options based on a large number of assumptions will not be meaningful and to certain extent would be misleading to the Shareholders.

On the basis of 426,286,705 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of Options that may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company will be 42,628,670 Shares, being 10% of the Company’s issued shares as at the date of approval of the New Share Option Scheme by the Shareholders at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no trustees for the New Share Option Scheme.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A summary of the principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme is set out in Appendix III to this circular. The full terms of the New Share Option Scheme can be inspected at the principal place of business of the Company at Unit 1201, 12/F, West Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong during normal business hours from the date of this circular to and including the date of the AGM and at the AGM.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme, terminate the Existing Share Option Scheme and authorise the Directors to grant Options thereunder and to allot and issue Shares pursuant to the New Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the proposed adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the AGM for approving the New Share Option Scheme.

COMPETING INTERESTS

Other than as disclosed below, as at the Latest Practicable Date, neither the Directors, the controlling Shareholders nor their respective close associates had any interests in a business which competes or may compete with the business of the Group or may have any other conflicts of interests with the Group.

  • (a) Mr. Cheung Kwok Wai, Elton, the chairman of the Board and an executive Director, has an indirect interest in approximately 15.29% of the issued shares of and is an executive director of Eternity Investment Limited, a company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (stock code: 764).

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide you with all the information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

1. NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH MAY BE REPURCHASED

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 426,286,705 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 42,628,670 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of issued share as at the date of passing of the resolution) during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the end of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Act or the Articles to hold its next annual general meeting; and (iii) the date of revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR PROPOSED REPURCHASE OF SHARES

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

The Repurchase Mandate will only be exercised when the Directors believe that such purchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

3. SOURCE OF FUNDS

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company will not repurchase the Shares on GEM 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.

4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the relevant period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an 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. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquires, any of their respective close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

6. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

APPENDIX I

7. THE HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 the Takeovers Code.

As a result, 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 Shareholders’ interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and becomes obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Eternity Finance Group Limited held 126,925,000 Shares, representing approximately 29.77% of the issued Shares. Eternity Finance Group Limited is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Eternity Investment Limited, which is a company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (stock code:764). In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of Eternity Finance Group Limited in the Shares would be increased to approximately 33.08% of the issued Shares. Such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, nothing had come to the attention of the Directors suggesting that there would be any consequences under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the previous six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

9. CORE CONNECTED PERSON

No core connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.
