LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In order to allow time for the Shareholders to consider the amended proposed ordinary resolutions, the EGM originally scheduled to be held on Friday, 29 November 2019 at 4:30 p.m. as set out in the Circular, the EGM Notice and the proxy form (the ‘‘First Form of Proxy’’) will be postponed to 4:30 p.m., on Monday, 30 December 2019 (the ‘‘Postponed EGM’’). The venue of the Postponed EGM remains unchanged at Room 3402, 34/F, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
The purpose of this supplemental circular is to provide you with information in respect of the arrangement of the Postponed EGM and the revised resolutions to be proposed at the Postponed EGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit for the Share Option Scheme and the granting to the Directors of the Specific Mandate to issue new Shares under the Share Award Scheme; and to provide Shareholders with the revised notice of the Postponed EGM (the ‘‘Revised EGM Notice’’) and the Revised Form of Proxy.
(2) PROPOSED SPECIFIC MANDATE TO BE GRANTED TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER THE SHARE AWARD SCHEME
Background of the Share Award Scheme
The Share Award Scheme was adopted by the Company on 7 November 2019 pursuant to which existing Shares may be purchased by the Trustee from the market or new Shares may be subscribed for out of cash contributed by the Group and be held on trust by the Trustee for the relevant Selected Employees until such Shares are vested with the relevant Selected Employees in accordance with the rules of the Share Award Scheme. The Share Award Scheme is effective for a term of 10 years from 7 November 2019 subject to the occurrence of terminating events as set out in the rules of the Share Award Scheme.
Principal terms and details of the Share Award Scheme were disclosed in the announcement dated 7 November 2019 and the clarification announcement dated 3 December 2019.
Proposed Specific Mandate to issue new Shares
Under the Share Award Scheme, among others, unless otherwise approved by the Shareholders and subject to adjustment in the event of consolidation or subdivision of Shares, the aggregate number of Shares to be granted as Awarded Shares shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company from time to time. The total number of Shares which may be issued under the Share Award Scheme in a financial year of the Company shall not exceed 3% of the total issued share capital of the Company from time to time. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Award has been granted by the Company under the Share Award Scheme.
At the Postponed EGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for the approval by the Shareholders of the Specific Mandate to be granted to the Directors for the allotment and issue of new Shares as Awarded Shares under the Share Award Scheme not exceeding 3% of the
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the Postponed EGM and such Specific Mandate shall lapse at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Articles to be held; and (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under such resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting. Subject to the approval by the Shareholders of the Specific Mandate by way of poll at the Postponed EGM, application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Shares that may be allotted and issued as Awarded Shares under the Specific Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares of the Company was 155,523,000. On the basis that no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Postponed EGM, and subject to the passing of the resolutions approving the granting of the Specific Mandate and the Stock Exchange granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, such Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the Specific Mandate and all applicable laws and regulations, the maximum number of new Shares which may be allotted and issued in a financial year as Awarded Shares under the Share Award Scheme as approved by the Specific Mandate is 4,665,690 Shares.
If the Specific Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the Postponed EGM, the Company intends to first utilise the Specific Mandate, before any available general mandate, to grant Awards under the Share Award Scheme. Should the Specific Mandate become exhausted or expired, the Company may then consider to grant Awards under any available general mandate, subject always to the rules of the Share Award Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no present intention to, or any negotiation of, issue any of the Shares under the Specific Mandate. The Company will make further announcement as soon as practicable after the grant of Awards under the Share Award Scheme in respect of any grant which involves the allotment and issue of new Shares under the Specific Mandate (whether to connected persons or non-connected persons) and will comply with such provisions of the Listing Rules as may be applicable, including any reporting, announcement and/or independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, unless otherwise exempted under the Listing Rules.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Shareholder is a beneficiary under the Share Award Scheme, and no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolutions for approving the Specific Mandate.
Financial impact on the Company
Analysis of the estimated fair value of the Shares to be issued
The estimated fair value of all Awarded Shares which can be allotted and issued under the Share Award Scheme is approximately HK$30.47 million, based on the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Impact of staff costs on the Company
Under the accounting policies of the Company, the fair value of services provided by the Selected Employee in exchange of the grant of Awarded Shares under the Share Award Scheme is determined by reference to the fair value of the Awarded Shares granted to the Selected Employee and is recognised as staff costs in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based compensation reserve). From time to time, the Group will determine the expenses relating to the Awarded Shares based on the best estimated number of the Awarded Shares that could eventually meet the vesting conditions. Assuming all Awarded Shares under the Specific Mandate are granted and vested, the total staff costs to be expensed in the profit or loss will be approximately HK$30.47 million, based on the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Impact on the shareholding structure of the Company
The table below illustrates the shareholding structure of the Company (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date and (ii) immediately after exercise of the Specific Mandate in full, assuming that (a) all Awards granted under the Share Award Scheme will be satisfied by the allotment and issue of new Shares by the Company and (b) there are no changes to the number of Shares in issue other than changes as a result of the exercise of the Specific Mandate:

Assuming that (i) all the Awards granted under the Share Award Scheme will be satisfied by the allotment and issue of new Shares by the Company and (ii) there is no change to the number of Shares in issue other than changes as a result of the exercise of the Specific Mandate.
(3) CHANGE OF DATE OF THE EGM
The EGM was originally scheduled to be held on Friday, 29 November 2019 at 4:30 p.m. as set out in the Circular, the EGM Notice and the First Form of Proxy which will be postponed to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 30 December 2019 to consider, and if thought fit, pass the resolutions as set out in the Revised EGM Notice. The venue of the Postponed EGM remains unchanged at Room 3402, 34/F, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
(4) ARRANGEMENT RELATING TO THE REVISED FORM OF PROXY
Since the notice of the EGM dated 12 November 2019 as set out in the Circular and the First Form of Proxy sent together with the Circular does not contain the revised ordinary resolutions as amended in the Revised EGM Notice set out in this supplemental circular, the Revised Form of Proxy for use at the Postponed EGM has been prepared and is enclosed with this supplemental circular.
Whether or not you are able to attend the Postponed EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed Revised Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit the same at the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong (the ‘‘Branch Share Registrar’’), as soon as practicable but in any event not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding of the Postponed EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) (the ‘‘Closing Time’’). Completion and return of the Revised Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Postponed EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) should you so desire and in such case, the Revised Form of Proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
A Shareholder who has not yet lodged the First Form of Proxy with the Branch Share Registrar is requested to lodge the Revised Form of Proxy if he/she/it wishes to appoint proxy(ies) to attend the Postponed EGM on his/her/its behalf. In this case, the First Form of Proxy should not be lodged with the Branch Share Registrar.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
A Shareholder who has already lodged the First Form of Proxy with the Branch Share Registrar should note that:
-
(i) Any First Form of Proxy lodged with the Branch Share Registrar will now become invalid. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder will not be entitled to cast his/her/its votes or to abstain from voting at his/her/its discretion on any resolution properly put to the Postponed EGM, including the revised ordinary resolutions as set out in this supplemental circular and the Revised EGM Notice.
-
(ii) If the Revised Form of Proxy is lodged with the Branch Share Registrar before the Closing Time, the Revised Form of Proxy will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by the Shareholder if correctly completed. The Revised Form of Proxy will revoke and supersede the First Form of Proxy previously lodged by the Shareholder.
-
(iii) If the Revised Form of Proxy is lodged with the Branch Share Registrar after the Closing Time or if lodged before the Closing Time but is incorrectly completed, the Revised Form of Proxy will be deemed invalid. Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to complete the Revised Form of Proxy carefully and lodge the Revised Form of Proxy before the Closing Time. If such Shareholders wish to vote at the Postponed EGM, they will have to attend in person and vote at the Postponed EGM themselves.
Shareholders are reminded that completion and delivery of the Revised Form of Proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the Postponed EGM if they so wish and in such event, such form(s) of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
To the best of the Director’s knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquires, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the Postponed EGM to approve, among other things, the Specific Mandate to be granted to issue Shares under the Share Award Scheme.
(5) RECOMMENDATIONS
The Board believes that the resolutions proposed in the Revised EGM Notice are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Board recommends that the Shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions to be proposed at the Postponed EGM.

(6) RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this supplemental 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 supplemental circular misleading.
