3. GRANT OF ISSUE MANDATE, REPURCHASE MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE

Pursuant to the resolutions passed by the Shareholders on 28 May 2015, among other things, the Directors were granted (a) a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the time of passing of the relevant resolution; (b) a general unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the time of passing of the relevant resolution; and (c) the power to extend the general mandate mentioned in (a) above by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of the securities of the Company repurchased by the Company pursuant to the mandate to repurchase securities referred to (b) above.

The above general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, the following resolutions, among other matters, will be proposed:

  • (a) to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue or otherwise deal with additional shares of the Company up to a maximum of 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue on the date of passing of such resolution;

  • (b) to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to enable them to repurchase shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue on the date of passing of such resolution; and

  • (c) to grant the Extension Mandate to the Directors to increase the total number of shares which may be allotted and issued under the Issue Mandate by an additional number representing such number of shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 666,030,176 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Issue Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 133,206,035 Shares.

6

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company next following the Annual General Meeting; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting is required by the Bye-laws or the applicable laws of Bermuda to be held; or (c) when the authority given to the Directors thereunder is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give the Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting. An explanatory statement for such purpose is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. ADOPTION OF NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND TERMINATION OF EXISTING SHARE OPTION SCHEME

A. The Existing Share Option Scheme and the New Share Option Scheme

The Existing Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company pursuant to the resolution passed by the Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 5 June 2006. Under the Existing Share Option Scheme, the Directors were authorised to grant to any eligible participant options to subscribe for Shares as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Company and its Subsidiaries. As the Existing Share Option Scheme is due to expire on 4 June 2016, in order to enable the continuity of the share option scheme of the Company, the Company proposes to terminate the Existing Share Option Scheme and adopt the New Share Option Scheme. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and the termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme.

It is proposed that subject to the approval of the Shareholders for the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme, the Existing Share Option Scheme will be terminated upon the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme after all conditions precedent as referred to in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme” below have been fulfilled. Operation of the New Share Option Scheme will commence after all the conditions precedent as referred to in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme” below have been fulfilled. A summary of the principal terms of the rules of the New Share Option Scheme is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

Given that the Board is entitled to determine any performance targets to be achieved as well as the minimum period that a Share Option must be held before a Share Option can be exercised on a case by case basis, and that the subscription price of a Share Option cannot in any event fall below the price stipulated in the Listing Rules or such higher price as may be fixed by the Board, it is expected that Grantees of the Share Options will make an effort to contribute to the development of the Group so as to bring about an increased market price of the Shares in order to capitalise on the benefits of the Share Options granted.

None of the Directors is a trustee of the New Share Option Scheme nor has a direct or indirect interest in the trustee as no trustees will be appointed under the New Share Option Scheme.

7

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 85,528,000 share options granted pursuant to the Existing Share Option Scheme which remained outstanding and not exercised. Other than the Existing Share Option Scheme, the Company currently does not maintain any other share option scheme.

Upon termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme, no further options may be granted but in all other respects the provisions of the Existing Share Option Scheme shall remain in full force and effect. Therefore, the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme will not in any event affect the terms of the grant of such outstanding options that has already been granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme and the above outstanding options granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme shall continue to be valid and subject to the provisions of the Existing Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 666,030,176 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of adoption of the New Share Option Scheme, the number of Shares issuable pursuant to the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company on the date of approval of the New Share Option Scheme will initially be 66,603,017 Shares, being 10% of the total number of Shares in issue on the date of approval of the New Share Option Scheme, unless the Company obtains a fresh approval from its Shareholders to renew the 10% limit on the basis that the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding share options granted and yet to be exercised under the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time.

B. Conditions of the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme

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

  • (i) the passing of the necessary resolution by the Shareholders in the general meeting of the Company to approve and adopt the New Share Option Scheme; and

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, such number of Shares to be allotted and issued by the Company pursuant to the exercise of any Share Options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New Share Option Scheme (up to 10% of the shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting).

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Share Options granted under the New Share Option Scheme.

C. Principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme

The principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

8

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The rules of the New Share Option Scheme proposed to be adopted by the Company at the Annual General Meeting will be available for inspection at the principal place of business in Hong Kong at 4C Derrick Industrial Building, 49 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Hong Kong during normal business hours from the date of this circular up to and including the date of Annual General Meeting and at the Annual General Meeting.

D. Values of all Share Options that can be granted under the New Share Option Scheme

The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to state the value of all Share Options that may be granted pursuant to the New Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date, because the calculation of the value of the Share Options is based on a number of variables such as the exercise price, exercise period, interest rate, expected volatility and other relevant variables. As no Share Options have been granted under the New Share Option Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date, certain variables were not available for calculating the value of the Share Options. The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Share Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a great number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful to the Shareholders.

5. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

Set out on pages 27 to 31 of this circular is a notice convening the Annual General Meeting at which resolutions will be proposed to approve, among other matters, the following:

  • (a) the re-election of the Directors;

  • (b) the grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate; and

  • (c) the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed herewith. You are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time of the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. VOTING BY POLL

Under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, the ordinary resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting will also be taken by poll. A poll results announcement will be made by the Company after the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

The Board considers that the resolutions in relation to the re-election of the Directors, the grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate and the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme and termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme be proposed at the Annual General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of such resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.

8. GENERAL

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendices to this circular.

9. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibilty, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE 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 grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchases of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 666,030,176 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 66,603,017 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and the Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities 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. Under the Companies Act, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of funds of the Company available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or out of capital paid up on such Shares. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company’s share premium account before the Shares are repurchased.

14

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Group as compared with the position as at 31 December 2015, being the date of the latest published audited financial statements of the Company. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Group which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2015
April 1.740 0.870
May 1.720 0.770
June 1.200 0.670
July 0.870 0.300
August 0.540 0.310
September 0.460 0.315
October 0.450 0.330
November 0.445 0.340
December 0.375 0.300
2016
January 0.360 0.246
February 0.310 0.246
March 0.410 0.270
April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.355 0.290

6. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE

The Company has not made any repurchases of the Shares in the previous six months before the Latest Practicable Date.

15

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

8. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to any exercise of the Repurchase Mandate.

No core connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Repurchase Mandate.

9. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase 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 could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Jerry Yip Wai Leung, Always Adept Limited and First Win Trading Limited (collectively referred to as the “ Concert Group ”), being parties acting in concert, had an aggregate of 223,301,436 Shares, representing approximately 33.53% of the issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that there were 666,030,176 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there are no issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full, the aggregate shareholding of the Concert Group would increase to approximately 37.25% of the issued share capital of the Company and the Concert Group would be obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that it will result in the Concert Group being obliged to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors also have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

16

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX III

This Appendix summarise the principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme (“ Share Option Scheme ”) but does not form part of, nor was it intended to be, part of the Share Option Scheme nor should it be taken as effecting the interpretation of the rules of the Share Option Scheme.

(a) PURPOSE OF THE SCHEME

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to enable the Group to grant Share Options to the Participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Group and/or to enable the Group to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group and any Invested Entity.

(b) WHO MAY JOIN

The Directors may, in accordance with the provisions of the Share Option Scheme and the Listing Rules, invite any person belonging to any of the following classes of Participants, to take up Share Options to subscribe for Shares:

  • (hh) any other group or classes of participants who have contributed or may contribute by way of joint venture, business alliance or other business arrangements to the development and growth of the Group.

For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of any share options by the Company for the subscription of Shares to any person who fall within any of the above classes of Participants shall not, by itself, unless the Directors otherwise determined, be construed as a grant of Share Option under the Share Option Scheme.

17

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

  • (bb) The total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all share options (excluding, for this purpose, share options which have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group) to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group must not in aggregate exceed 10 per cent of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the Share Option Scheme by the Shareholders (the “ General Scheme Limit ”).

  • (cc) Subject to (aa) above and without prejudice to (dd) below, the Company may seek approval of the Shareholders in general meeting to refresh the General Scheme Limit provided that the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all share options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group must not exceed 10 per cent of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit and for the purpose of calculating the refreshed limit, share options (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group) previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group will not be counted.

  • (dd) Subject to (aa) above and without prejudice to (cc) above, the Company may seek separate Shareholders’ approval in general meeting to grant Share Options under the Share Option Scheme beyond the General Scheme Limit or, if applicable, the extended limit referred to in (cc) above to Participants specifically identified by the Company before such approval is sought.

  • (ee) If the Company conducts a share consolidation or subdivision after the General Scheme Limit, or if applicable, the extended limit referred to in paragraph (cc) above, has been approved in general meeting, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Group under the General Scheme Limit, or if applicable, the extended limit referred to in paragraph (cc) above, as a percentage of the total number of issued Shares at the date immediately before and after such consolidation or subdivision shall be the same.

APPENDIX III

No dividend (including distributions made upon the liquidation of the Company) will be payable and no voting rights will be exercisable in relation to a Share Option that has not been exercised. A Share allotted upon the exercise of a Share Option shall not carry voting rights until the completion of the registration of the Grantee of Share Option on the register of members of the Company as the holder thereof.

  • (bb) Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Shares” in this paragraph include references to shares forming part of the ordinary equity share capital of the Company of such nominal amount as shall result from a sub-division, consolidation, re-classification or re-construction of the share capital of the Company from time to time.

In particular, the Company may not grant any share option during the period commencing one month immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the date of the meeting of the Board (as such date is first notified to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules) for the approval of the Company’s results for any year, half-year, quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules); and (ii) the deadline for the Company to announce its results for any year or half-year under the Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required by the Listing Rules), and ending on the date of the results announcement.

The date of cessation or termination as aforesaid shall be the last day on which the Grantee of Share Option was actually at work with the Company or the relevant Subsidiary or the Invested Entity whether salary is paid in lieu of notice or not.

(n) RIGHTS ON A GENERAL OFFER

If a general or partial offer, whether by way of take-over offer, share repurchase offer, or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner is made to all the holders of Shares, or all such holders other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by the offeror and/or any person acting in association or concert with the offeror, the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that such offer is extended to all the Grantee of Share Option on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and assuming that they will become, by the exercise in full of the Share Options granted to them, Shareholders. If such offer becomes or is declared unconditional or such scheme of arrangement is formally proposed to Shareholders, the Grantee of Share Option shall, notwithstanding any other terms on which his Share Options were granted, be entitled to exercise the Share Option (to the extent not already exercised) to its full extent or to the extent specified in the Grantee of Share Option’s notice to the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Share Option Scheme at any time thereafter and up to the close of such offer (or any revised offer) or the record date for entitlements under scheme of arrangement, as the case may be.

Subject thereto, all Share Options then outstanding shall lapse and determine on the commencement of the winding-up of the Company.

APPENDIX III

(p) RIGHTS ON A COMPROMISE OR ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND ITS CREDITORS

In the event of a compromise or arrangement between the Company and its creditors (or any class of them) or between the Company and the Shareholders (or any class of them), in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company, the Company shall give notice thereof to all Grantees of Share Option on the same day as it gives notice of the meeting to the Shareholders or creditors to consider such scheme or arrangement, and thereupon any Grantee of Share Option may forthwith and until the expiry of the period commencing with such date and ending with the earlier of the date falling two (2) calendar months thereafter or the date on which such compromise or arrangement is sanctioned by the Court be entitled to exercise his Share Option (to the extent not already exercised), but the exercise of the Share Option shall be conditional upon such compromise or arrangement being sanctioned by the Court and becoming effective. The Company may thereafter require such Grantee of Share Option to transfer or otherwise deal with the Shares issued as a result of such exercise of his Share Option so as to place the Grantee of Share Option in the same position as nearly as would have been the case had such Shares been subject to such compromise or arrangement. Subject thereto, all outstanding Share Option shall lapse and determine on the date the proposed compromise or arrangement becomes effective.

(q) RIGHTS OF GRANTEE OF SHARE OPTION WHICH IS A COMPANY WHOLLY OWNED BY ONE OR MORE PARTICIPANTS

If the Grantee of Share Option is a company wholly owned by one or more Participants:

  • (i) the provisions of sub-paragraphs (l), (m), (r) and (s) shall apply to the Grantee of Share Option and to the Share Options granted to such Grantee of Share Option, mutatis mutandis, as if such Share Options had been granted to the relevant Participant, and such Share Options shall accordingly lapse or fall to be exercisable after the event(s) referred to in subparagraphs (l), (m), (r) and (s) shall occur with respect to the relevant Participant; and

  • (ii) the Share Options granted to the Grantee of Share Option shall lapse and determine on the date the Grantee of Share Option ceases to be wholly owned by the relevant Participant provided that the Directors may in their absolute discretion decide that such Share Options or any part thereof shall not so lapse or determine subject to such conditions or limitations as they may impose.

23

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX III

(r) RIGHTS ON DISMISSAL

The Option Period in respect of any Share Option shall automatically terminate and that Share Option (to the extent not already exercised) shall lapse, in respect of a Grantee of Share Option who is an Eligible Employee, on the date on which the Grantee of Share Option ceases to be an Eligible Employee by reason of a termination of his employment with any member of the Group or any Invested Entity on the grounds that he has been guilty of persistent or serious misconduct, or has committed any act of bankruptcy or has become insolvent or has made any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally, or has been convicted of any criminal offence (other than an offence which in the opinion of the Directors does not bring the Grantee of Share Option or the Group or the Invested Entity into disrepute), or (if so determined by the Directors) on any other ground on which an employer would be entitled to terminate his employment at common law or pursuant to any applicable laws or under the Eligible Employee’s service contract with the Company or the relevant Subsidiary or the relevant Invested Entity.

(s) RIGHTS ON BREACH OF CONTRACT

The Option Period in respect of any Share Option shall automatically terminate and that Share Option (to the extent not already exercised) shall lapse, in respect of a Grantee of Share Option other than an Eligible Employee, the date on which the Directors shall at their absolute discretion determine that (aa) such Grantee of Share Option or his associate has committed any breach of any contract entered into between the Grantee of Share Option or his associate on the one part and the Group or any Invested Entity on the other part; or (bb) that the Grantee of Share Option has committed any act of bankruptcy or has become insolvent or is subject to any winding-up, liquidation or analogous proceedings or has made any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or (cc) such Grantee of Share Option could no longer make any contribution to the growth and development of the Group by reason of the cessation of its relations with the Group or by any other reason whatsoever.

(t) ADJUSTMENTS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE OR OTHER TERMS

In the event of a capitalisation of profits or reserves, rights issue, consolidation or sub-division of Shares or reduction of the share capital of the Company whilst a Share Option remains exercisable or the Share Option Scheme remains in effect, such corresponding alterations (if any) certified in writing by the then auditors of or an independent financial adviser to the Company as fair and reasonable and at the same time satisfy with the requirements of the Listing Rules will be made to the number; and/or nominal amount of Shares and/or the subscription price for Shares subject to Share Option already granted; and/or the number of Shares comprised in a Share Option or which remain comprised in a Share Option, provided that (i) any adjustments shall give a Grantee the same proportion of the issued share capital to which he was entitled prior to such adjustments; (ii) no adjustments shall be made the effect of which would be to enable a Share to be issued at less than its nominal value; (iii) no such adjustment will be required in circumstances where there is an issue of Shares or other securities of the Group as consideration in a transaction; and (iv) any such adjustment shall be made in compliance with such rules, codes and guidance notes of the Stock Exchange from time to time. In addition, in respect of any such adjustments, other than any made on a capitalisation issue, the Company’s auditors or independent financial adviser must confirm to the Directors in writing that the adjustments satisfy the requirements of the relevant provision of the Listing Rules.

24

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX III

(u) CANCELLATION OF SHARE OPTIONS

Subject to the provisions of the Share Option Scheme and Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, any Share Option granted but not exercised may not be cancelled except with the prior written consent of the relevant Grantee of the Share Option and the approval of the Directors.

Where the Company cancels any Share Options granted to a Grantee of Share Options but not exercised and issues new ones to the same Grantee, the issue of such new Share Options may only be made with available unissued Share Options (excluding, for this purpose, the cancelled Share Options) within the General Scheme Limit or the limits approved by Shareholders according to the provisions of the Share Option Scheme.

(v) TERMINATION OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company may by resolution in general meeting at any time terminate the operation of the Share Option Scheme and in such event no further Share Options shall be offered but in all other respects the provisions of the Share Option Scheme shall remain in force to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any Share Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to the termination or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Share Option Scheme. Share Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to such termination shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the Share Option Scheme.

(w) RIGHTS ARE PERSONAL TO THE GRANTEE OF SHARE OPTION

A Share Option is personal to the Grantee of Share Option and shall not be transferable or assignable and no Grantee of Share Option shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of or create any interest in favour of any third party over or in relation to any Share Option or to enter into any agreement so to do. Any breach of the foregoing by a Grantee of Share Option shall entitle the Company to cancel any outstanding Share Option or part thereof granted to such Grantee of Share Option to the extent not already exercised.

(x) LAPSE OF OPTION

A Share Option shall lapse automatically (to the extent not already exercised) on the earliest of:

  • (aa) the expiry of the Option Period;

  • (bb) the expiry of the periods or dates referred to in paragraphs (l), (m), (n), (o), (p), (q), (r) and (s); and
