LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to grant to the Directors new general mandates:

  • (i) to allot and issue and deal with new Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution;

  • (ii) to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution; and

  • (iii) subject to the passing of the aforesaid ordinary resolutions approving the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the general mandate to extend the Issue Mandate by the addition to the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company which may be allotted or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted and issued Shares in an amount not exceeding the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement containing information relating to the Repurchase Mandate required by the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular. This explanatory statement contains information reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 4,550,104,797 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing of the resolutions approving the Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate on the date of passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate will be 455,010,479 Shares and the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Issue Mandate on the date of passing of the resolution approving the Issue Mandate will be 910,020,959 Shares.

The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will end on the earliest 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 the Articles or any appliable laws to be held, or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 84 of the Articles, 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

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every three years. Mr. Yao Jianhui, Mr. Zhang Xiaodong and Ms. Xia Lingjie shall retire from office by rotation and, being eligible for re-election, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

The nomination committee of the Company (the ‘‘Nomination Committee’’) has reviewed the performance of all the re-elected Directors and found their performance satisfactory. In addition, with the nomination of the Nomination Committee, the Board has recommended all the re-elected Directors, namely Mr. Yao Jianhui, Mr. Zhang Xiaodong and Ms. Xia Lingjie stand for re-election as Directors at the AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the above Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendation for re-election by the Shareholders.

Biographical details of each of the retiring Directors who offers himself/herself for reelection, which are required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Save as disclosed in this circular, there are no other matters in relation to the retiring Directors proposed for re-election that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix contains the particulars required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

(1) EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 4,550,104,797 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains the same as at the date of the AGM, the Company shall be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 455,010,479 Shares, being 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM.

(2) SOURCE OF FUNDS

In repurchasing securities, the Company would only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

To the extent that repurchases of Shares are funded entirely from the available cash flow or working capital facilities of the Company, 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 contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019) in the event that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed Repurchase Period.

(3) REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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 Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. 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.

– I-1 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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 of the Company or its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

(4) SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve calendar months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2019
April 0.610 0.470
May 0.520 0.380
June 0.820 0.335

February 0.770 0.620
March 0.820 0.600
April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.800 0.660

(5) DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

(6) UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

– I-2 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

(7) TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT

If, as a result of any repurchase of Shares a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of the voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or a group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and so far as the Directors are aware, GSFG Concert Group is deemed to be interested in a total of 3,147,385,200 Shares, representing approximately 69.17% of the total issued capital of the Company, pursuant to their disclosure under Part XV of the SFO. The following table sets out the interests of GSFG Concert Group in the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date:

Notes:

– I-3 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

  1. The aggregate of the percentage figures in the table above may not add up to the relevant sub-total or total percentage figures shown due to rounding of the percentage figures to two decimal places.

In the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares under the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full and no other Shares would be issued or repurchased following the Latest Practicable Date, the shareholding of GSFG Concert Group will increase to approximately 76.86% of the issued share capital of the Company, assuming that there is no alteration to the existing shareholding of GSFG Concert Group. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the existing public float of the Company is approximately 30.83%. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full from the public market and no further Shares are issued during the Repurchase Period, the public float of the Company would be decreased to approximately 23.14%.

Any repurchase of Shares that results in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the total number of the Shares then in issue could only be implemented if the Stock Exchange agreed to waive the Listing Rules requirement regarding the public shareholding.

Save as disclosed in above, the Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent which would, in the circumstances, trigger any potential consequences under the Takeovers Code.
