CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

BUSINESS AND RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 2015 AGM
RESOLUTION NUMBERED 5 – REFRESHMENT OF EXISTING SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT
The Share Option Scheme
The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme by way of written resolutions of the then Shareholders of the Company on 26 September 2010 whereby the Directors were authorised to grant Options to Eligible Participants. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant Options to Eligible Participants as incentives or rewards for their contributions to the Group, and to encourage Eligible Participants to perform their best in achieving goals of the Group.
The Existing Scheme Mandate Limit
Pursuant to the ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 August 2011, the scheme mandate limit under the Share Option Scheme was refreshed, pursuant to which the Directors were allowed to grant further options under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes carrying the right to subscribe for a maximum of 66,240,000 Shares, being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 29 August 2011 (the “2011 Scheme Mandate Limit”). On 17 February 2014, the Company has granted 39,000,000 Options under the Share Option Scheme pursuant to the 2011 Scheme Mandate Limit (representing approximately 58.88% of the aggregate number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the 2011 Scheme Mandate Limit), all of which remained outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date.
At the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 15 April 2014, the 2011 Scheme Mandate Limit was further refreshed, pursuant to which the Directors were allowed to grant further options under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes carrying the right to subscribe for a maximum of 134,914,400 Shares, being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 15 April 2014 (the “2014 Scheme Mandate Limit”). On 15 April 2014, following the passing of the resolutions by the Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting held on 15 April 2014, the grant of 98,000,000 Options under the Share Option Scheme pursuant to the 2014 Scheme Mandate Limit (representing approximately 72.64% of the 2014 Scheme Mandate Limit) became unconditional. On 14 July 2014, the Company also granted 36,900,000 Options (representing approximately 27.35% of the 2014 Scheme Mandate Limit) under the Share Option Scheme pursuant to the 2014 Scheme Mandate Limit. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of 119,900,000 Options granted under the Share Option Scheme pursuant to the 2014 Scheme Mandate Limit remained outstanding.
Pursuant to the ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 3 September 2014, the scheme mandate limit under the Share Option Scheme was refreshed, pursuant to which the Directors were allowed to grant further options under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes carrying the right to subscribe for a maximum of 158,614,400 Shares, being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 3 September 2014 (the “Existing Scheme Mandate Limit”). On 13 October 2014, the Company has granted 158,168,000 Options under the Share Option Scheme pursuant to the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit (representing approximately 99.72% of the aggregate number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit), all of which remained outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date.
6
BUSINESS AND RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 2015 AGM
The refreshment of Existing Scheme Mandate Limit
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued share capital of the Company is 2,299,144,000 Shares. Under the GEM Listing Rules and subject to prior Shareholders’ approval, the Company may, at any time thereafter, refresh the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit to the extent not exceeding 10% of the Shares in issue as at the aforesaid Shareholders’ approval. The Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the Share Option Scheme or exercised Options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as “refreshed”.
A total of 158,168,000 Options have been granted under the Share Option Scheme pursuant to the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit up to the Latest Practicable Date, representing approximately 99.72% of the aggregate number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit. As such, the Board proposes to refresh the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit to the effect that the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all the Options to be granted under the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed will be 229,914,400 Shares (assuming no further issue or purchase of Shares prior to the 2015 AGM), representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the approval of the proposed refreshment of Existing Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the 2015 AGM, such that the Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all the Options proposed to be granted to all grantees would not be exceeding 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the 2015 AGM.
From the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme to the Latest Practicable Date, there are 337,068,000 Options remained outstanding, representing approximately 14.66% of issued share capital of the Company. The total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of the “refreshed” Existing Scheme Mandate Limit together with all outstanding Options as at the Latest Practicable Date is 566,982,400 Shares, representing approximately 24.66% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of 2015 AGM. No Options may be granted if this will result in the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company exceeds the 30% limit.
The refreshment of the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit will restore the full capacity for the grant of new Options which was effectively diminished with utilisation and the Directors consider that the proposed refreshment of Existing Scheme Mandate Limit will enable the Company to grant further Options to other Eligible Participants so as to provide opportunities and incentives to them to work towards enhancing the values of the Company and Shares for the benefit of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. The Board therefore decided to seek the approval of the Shareholders at the 2015 AGM to refresh the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no identifiable plan to utilize the “refreshed” Existing Scheme Mandate Limit to be approved at the 2015 AGM.
7
BUSINESS AND RECOMMENDATION FOR THE 2015 AGM
Conditions of the refreshment of Existing Scheme Mandate Limit
The refreshment of Existing Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:
-
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by Shareholders to approve the refreshment of Existing Scheme Mandate Limit at the 2015 AGM; and
-
(ii) the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares (representing a maximum of 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolution of refreshment of Existing Scheme Mandate Limit at the 2015 AGM) which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of the Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company.
Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue at the 2015 AGM, which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of the Options that may be granted under the refreshed Existing Scheme Mandate Limit.
RESOLUTION NUMBERED 6 – INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$40,000,000 divided into 4,000,000,000 Shares at HK$0.01 each of which 2,299,144,000 Shares have been issued and allotted.
In order to facilitate the possible issuance of the Consideration Shares and to accommodate the issuance of the Offer Shares as well as to provide for future expansion in the share capital of the Company, the Directors propose that the authorised share capital of the Company be increased from HK$40,000,000 divided into 4,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company to HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares by the creation of an additional 6,000,000,000 new Shares (the “Increase In Authorised Share Capital”).
The Increase In Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the 2015 AGM.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board is pleased to recommend Mr. Hong Sze Lung, Mr. Lau Wan Pui, Joseph and Mr. Law Chung Lam, Nelson to stand for re-election by the Shareholders as Directors. The Board also believes that the granting of the Issue Mandate, the Share Repurchase Mandate, the extension to the Issue Mandate, refreshment of the Existing Scheme Mandate Limit and the Increase In the Authorised Share Capital are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and accordingly recommends you to vote in favour of all the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the 2015 AGM.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required under Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules to provide you with the information necessary for your consideration of the Share Repurchase Mandate.
1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES
The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their own shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions and obtaining prior shareholders’ approval. The GEM Listing Rules, however, prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing securities on the Stock Exchange from a “connected person” (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his securities to that company.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,299,144,000 fully paid Shares.
Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the approval of the Share Repurchase Mandate, the Company will be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 229,914,400 fully paid Shares (assuming no Offer Shares, Consideration Shares and Bond Placing Warrants Shares were allotted and issued on or before the 2015 AGM), or a maximum of 439,471,600 fully paid Shares (assuming all Offer Shares, Consideration Shares and Bond Placing Warrants Shares were allotted and issued on or before the 2015 AGM), representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the 2015 AGM.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchase(s) may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase(s) will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association for the time being in force and the laws of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong for the purpose. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from those funds of the Company, legally permitted to be utilized in this connection, including capital paid up on the Shares to be repurchased, profits otherwise available for distribution and sums standing to either the share premium account or contributed surplus account of the Company.
12
APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
On the basis of the audited consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2015 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up) and in particular the working capital position of the Company at that time and the number of Shares now in issue, the Directors consider that there might not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. No repurchase would be made in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.
5. SHARE PRICES

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
7. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any close associates of the Directors, have a present intention, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company under the Share Repurchase Mandate.
No other 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 have undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders.
8. EFFECTS OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If, as a result of a repurchase of the Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for purposes of the 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 of the Shareholder’s 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as is known to the Directors, the shareholding interests in the Company of the substantial Shareholders (within the meaning of the GEM Listing Rules and Section 336 of the SFO) are as follows:
| Long position/ | Number of | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name of Substantial Shareholders | Capacity/Nature of interest | short position | **Shares held ** | Approximate% | |
| Enhanced Securities Limited (the “Underwriter”) | Underwriter of Open Offer | Long position | 1,149,572,000 | 33.33% | (Note 1 and 2) |
| SBI China Capital Financial Services Limited | |||||
| (the “Sub-underwriter”) | Sub-underwriter of Open Offer | Long position | 285,714,000 | 8.28% | (Note 2 and 3) |
| Conrich Investments Limited (“Conrich”) | Beneficial owner | Long position | 175,208,000 | 5.08% | (Note 2 and 4) |
Notes:
-
The Shares are the Offer Shares which the Underwriter is interested under the Underwriting Agreement on the assumption of no acceptance by the Qualifying Shareholders under the Open Offer.
-
The approximate percentages of interest in Shares as shown represented the number of Shares interested by the relevant Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date as enlarged by the relevant Offer Shares.

SBI China Capital Holdings Limited is owned by Probest Limited and Long Vehicle Capital Ltd. as 52% and 48% respectively.

-

14
APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Assuming that there would not be any change in the issued share capital of the Company prior to the buy-back of Shares and that the above substantial Shareholders would not dispose of its Shares nor acquire additional Shares prior to any buy-back of Shares, if the Buy-back Mandate were exercised in full, the percentage shareholding of the above substantial Shareholders would be increased as follows:
| Approximate% | |
|---|---|
| after the exercise | |
| of Buy-back | |
| Name | Mandate in full |
| The Underwriter | 37.04% |
| The Sub-underwriter | 9.21% |
| Conrich | 5.64% |
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to an obligation to make such mandatory offer or would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to under 25%. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate.
