  2. In relation to agenda item No. (3)(A) in this notice regarding election of directors, Mr. Yeung Chun Fan, Mr. Hui Chung Shing, Herman and Mr. Lau Hon Chuen, Ambrose will retire from office by rotation at the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Company pursuant to bye-law 110(A) of the Company’s Bye-laws and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

To ensure that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has a balance of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the Company’s business needs and development, the Nomination Committee reviews the structure, size and composition of the Board annually and forms its recommendations to the Board on the proposals on re-election of the retiring Directors, with due regard to the board diversity policy of the Company.

Mr. Lau Hon Chuen, Ambrose has given the Company a confirmation of his independence. The Nomination Committee has assessed the independence of Mr. Lau. The Board has considered that Mr. Lau has met the independence criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”). Other details of Mr. Lau are set out in paragraph 8.3 below. Based on the biographical details disclosed to the Company, Mr. Lau does not hold seven or more listed company directorships and he continues to demonstrate his commitment to his role with the Company.

Mr. Lau has confirmed that he is the senior partner of Messrs. Chu & Lau, Solicitors & Notaries, and that he himself and the law firm acted for the Company, its related or connected companies or persons. The Board, after considering the view of the Nomination Committee, considered that the amounts involved for the services provided were insignificant, and the services received from Mr. Lau and the law firm were in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms and would in no way affect the independence of Mr. Lau. Accordingly, the Board has confirmed that Mr. Lau is independent of the Company.

The Nomination Committee also believes that Mr. Lau being a solicitor of the High Court of Hong Kong has extensive knowledge of legal matters and having the considerable experience in the public sector and boards of listed companies, would contribute continuous improvement on internal control and corporate governance matters of the Company. The Nomination Committee is of the view that he contributes to the diversity of the Board. Accordingly, the Board considers that the re-election of Mr. Lau as an independent non-executive director of the Company is in the interests of the Company notwithstanding that he has served in such capacity for more than nine years.

The Board, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, has nominated Mr. Lau Hon Chuen, Ambrose for re-election as an independent non-executive director of the Company at the forthcoming annual general meeting.
