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.

Dear Sir or Madam,
(1) PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION;
(2) PROPOSED FIXING OF THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DIRECTORS; AND
(3) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 25 July 2016 in relation to the Proposed Amendment.
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in relation to the (i) Proposed Amendment; (ii) fixing of the maximum number of Directors; and (iii) notice of the EGM.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
In view of the proposed fixing of the maximum number of directors as detailed herein below, the Board proposes to amend Article 98 of the Articles of Association so that the Board (subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the general meeting) may fix and/or change the maximum number of Directors as the case may be.
The proposed amendment to Article 98 of the Articles of Association is as follows:
The original text of Article 98:
"The number of Directors shall not be less than two."
shall be deleted in its entirety and be substituted by the new Article 98 as follows:
"Unless otherwise determined by the Company by ordinary resolution, the number of Directors shall not be less than two. There shall be no maximum number of Directors unless otherwise determined from time to time by the Company by ordinary resolution."
The Proposed Amendment is subject to the approval by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM.
The legal advisors of the Company as to Hong Kong laws and Cayman Islands laws have respectively confirmed that the proposed amendment complies with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company also confirmed that there is nothing unusual about the Proposed Amendment to the Articles of Association.
FIXING OF THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
Subject to the passing of the special resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Proposed Amendment, the Company proposes to fix the maximum number of Directors at seven (7).
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board consists of 7 members comprising of 2 executive Directors, 2 non-executive Directors and 3 independent non-executive Directors. The Board considers that it has a balanced composition of executive Directors, non-executive Directors and independent non-executive Directors.
To ensure the efficient and effective communication of the Board, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the EGM to fix the maximum number of Directors at seven (7).
Based on the advice of the Company's legal advisor as to Cayman Islands laws, the Board considers that the proposal to fix a maximum number of Directors complies with the Articles of Association and the Cayman Islands Companies Law and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
