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.

The Directors have been granted a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares pursuant to the written resolutions of the Shareholders passed on 20 May 2015. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the existing general mandate has not been utilized and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares with the aggregate nominal value not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of passing the relevant resolution.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors have been granted a general unconditional mandate to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the written resolutions of the Shareholders passed on 20 May 2015. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the existing repurchase mandate has not been utilized and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted a general mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to purchase or repurchase Shares with the aggregate nominal value not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of passing the relevant resolution.

An explanatory statement giving the particulars required under the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the Repurchase Mandate to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision whether to vote for or against the resolution is set out in the Appendix I to this circular.

The Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate will remain in effect until whichever is 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 applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying such mandate.

The Company has in issue an aggregate of 1,667,200,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Pursuant to Article 112, the Directors shall have power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election at such meeting.

A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. The Company at the general meeting at which a Director retires may fill the vacated office.

Pursuant to Article 108(b), the Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to obtain the number required) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

VOTING AT THE AGM

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 1,667,200,000 Shares were in issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities to subscribe for the Shares.

Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date until the AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 1,667,200,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, could result in up to a maximum of 166,720,000 Shares being repurchased by the Company.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, may lead to enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or the 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 number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms on which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

As compared with the position disclosed in the audited combined financial statements of the Company as at 31 March 2015, the Directors consider that there could be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed purchases period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company.

3. SOURCE OF FUNDS

The Company is empowered by the Memorandum and the Articles to repurchase its Shares. In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and the Articles, the Cayman Companies Laws, the GEM Listing Rules and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, as the case may be.

Any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose or, if authorized by the Articles and subject to the Cayman Companies Laws and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, out of capital. The premium, if any, payable on repurchase must be provided for out of the profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased or, if authorized by the Articles and

  • 8 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

subject to Cayman Companies Laws and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, out of capital. The Shares so repurchased will be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorized share capital will not be reduced.

The Company may not repurchase its own shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange.

4. GEM LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The GEM 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 GEM 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.

5. DIRECTORS’ 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 pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

6. 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 close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell any of their Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

No core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any of his/her/its Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company, in the event that the Company is authorized to make repurchases of the Shares.

7. DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST AND EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the 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 may be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Coode for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.
