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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REFRESHMENT OF THE GENERAL MANDATES

At the annual general meeting held on 4 August 2010, resolutions were passed by the then Shareholders granting general mandates to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company: (i) to issue new shares of the Company; (ii) to repurchase shares of the Company; and (iii) to extend the general mandate granted to the Director to issue shares by the nominal amount of shares repurchased. The mandate to issue new Shares was refreshed at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 19 April 2011. The above mentioned mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

To facilitate future allotment and issue of Shares by the Company, it is proposed that at the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to grant to the Directors (i) the Issue 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 as at the date of the passing of such resolution; (ii) the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the passing of such resolution; and (iii) the Extension Mandate to extend the Issue Mandate by the amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The relevant resolutions are set out as resolutions numbered 9 to 11 in the notice of AGM. The Issue Mandate, Repurchase Mandate and Extension Mandate, if granted at the AGM, will be valid up to (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 the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the members of the Company in general meeting revoking or varying the authority given to the Directors, whichever occurs first.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The explanatory statement required by the GEM Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolutions relating to the proposed Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprised four executive Directors, namely Mr. Wong Chung Wai, Eric, Mr. Chan Yun Sang, Mr. Choi King Lit and Mr. Han Fangfa, one non-executive Director, namely Dr. Pan Jin and four independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Yan Yonghong, Mr. Tang Sze Lok, Mr. Lee Kwok Yung and Mr. Chan Wai Kwong, Peter.

In accordance with article 86(3) of the Articles, Mr. Choi King Lit, Mr. Han Fangfa, Dr. Pan Jin and Mr. Chan Wai Kwong Peter shall hold office only until the AGM and each of them, being eligible, offers himself for re-election as a Director at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with article 87 of the Articles, Mr. Yan Yonghong and Mr. Tang Sze Lok will retire by rotation at the AGM. Mr. Yan Yonghong will not offer himself for re-election as a Director at the AGM. Mr. Tang Sze Lok, being eligible, will offer himself for re-election as a Director at the AGM.

The biographical details of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

REFRESHMENT OF THE 10% GENERAL LIMIT

Pursuant to the resolution of the then Shareholders passed at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 22 October 2003, the Share Option Scheme was adopted. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to attract, retain and motivate talented Participants to strive for the goals of the Group and to provide the Company with a flexible means of giving incentive to rewarding, remunerating and/or providing benefits to the Participants.

Pursuant to the rules of the Share Option Scheme, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the adoption date unless further Shareholders’ approval is obtained in a general meeting, provided that options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the 10% General Limit.

Pursuant to the existing 10% General Limit, the Directors may grant options not exceeding 41,455,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 22 October 2003, being the date on which the Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, options carrying the rights to subscribe for 41,450,000 Shares (representing approximately 99.99% of the existing 10% General Limit) had been granted to the Participants under the Share Option Scheme, 6,000,000 of such options have been exercised and none of such options have lapsed. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 35,450,000 options remained outstanding (representing approximately 85.51% of the existing 10% General Limit). Unless the 10% General Limit is “refreshed”, only 5,000 Shares (representing approximately 0.01% of the existing 10% General Limit) can be issued pursuant to the grant of further options under the Share Option Scheme. Details of the options to subscribe for the Shares granted to the Participants since the date on which the Share Option Scheme was adopted are as follows:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that the Company should refresh the existing 10% General Limit so that the Company could have more flexibility to provide incentives to the Participants by way of granting share options to them. If the refreshment of the 10% General Limit is approved at the AGM, based on the 2,641,181,456 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the refreshed 10% General Limit to grant options carrying the rights to subscribe for up to a total of 264,118,145 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM.

Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force.

None of the grantees has been granted with options which exceed the limit of 1% of the issued share capital of the Company in the 12-month period up to and including the respective dates of grant as set out in Rule 23.03(4) of the GEM Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of all outstanding options granted under the Share Option Scheme is 35,450,000, representing approximately 1.34% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. If the refreshment of the 10% General Limit is approved at the AGM, the existing outstanding options granted under the existing 10% General Limit and the options to be granted under the refreshed 10% General Limit will not in aggregate exceed 30% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors consider that the refreshment of the 10% General Limit is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole because it enables the Company to reward and motivate the Participants under the Share Option Scheme.

The refreshment of the 10% General Limit is conditional upon:

  • (a) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the refreshment of the 10% General Limit at the AGM; and

  • (b) the Stock Exchange granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, any new Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the options that may be granted under the refreshed 10% General Limit, being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution at the AGM.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, any new Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the options that may be granted under the refreshed 10% General Limit, being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution at the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This explanatory statement contains the information required pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REGULATIONS OF THE GEM LISTING RULES

(a) Shareholders’ approval

All repurchase of securities on GEM by a company with its primary listing on GEM must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transaction.

(b) Source of funds

Repurchase must be financed out of funds which are legally available for such purpose and in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the listed company and the applicable laws to be held. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

(c) Suspension of repurchase

Pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules, the Company shall not purchase its Shares on GEM at any time after a price sensitive development has occurred or has been the subject of a decision until such time as the price sensitive information is made publicly available. In particular, during the period of one month immediately preceding the earlier of:

  • (i) the date of the board meeting (as such date is first notified to the Stock Exchange in accordance with Rule 17.48 of the GEM Listing Rules) for the approval of the Company’s results for any year, half-year or quarter-year period or any other interim period (whether or not required under the GEM Listing Rules); and

  • (ii) the deadline for the Company to publish an announcement of its results for any year, half-year or quarter-year period under Rules 18.49, 18.78 or 18.79 of the GEM Listing Rules or any other interim period (whether or not required under the GEM Listing Rules),

and ending on the date of the results announcement, the Company may not purchase its Shares on GEM, unless the circumstances are exceptional.

(d) Connected persons

Under the GEM Listing Rules, a company shall not knowingly repurchase shares from a connected person (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) and a connected person shall not knowingly sell his shares to the company.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

2. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 2,641,181,456 Shares in issue.

Assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the date of the AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could result in up to 264,118,145 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force.

The Repurchase Mandate, if granted at the AGM, will be valid up to (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 the Articles or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

4. SOURCE OF FUNDING

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose, in accordance with its Articles and the laws of Cayman Islands, including funds from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. The Company may not repurchase its own securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

5. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2011 contained in 2011 Annual Report) in the event that the proposed repurchases in the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed purchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Group or on its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

6. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best of the knowledge of the Directors who have made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor their respective associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to do so.

7. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights in the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any substantial Shareholders (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules). As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as the Directors were aware, the Repurchase Mandate, if granted and exercised in full, would not give rise to any obligation on any existing Shareholder to make a mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that may result in a public shareholding of less than 25%, the prescribed minimum percentage of the Shares in issue required by the Stock Exchange to be held by the public.

8. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on GEM during each of the previous 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2010
July 0.290 0.249
August 0.320 0.265
September 0.330 0.247
October 0.270 0.210
November 0.265 0.223
December 0.244 0.152
2011
January 0.184 0.151
February 0.185 0.148

May 0.180 0.162
June 0.171 0.130

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

9. REPURCHASE IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS

During the previous six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise).

10. CONNECTED PERSON

No connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and the Company is authorised to make purchases of the Shares.
