LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Details of the grant of Options

Proposed Grantees

Mr. Li – a director, the legal representative and the general manager of Megahunt

Mr. Liu – the technology director of Megahunt

Mr. Xu CJ – an executive Director

Mr. Xu WS – an executive Director

Mr. Yang – the deputy general manager of Megahunt

Ms. Hui – the group financial controller and a joint secretary of the Company, and a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company

Ms. Song – a director and the financial controller of Megahunt

Subscription price of Options granted

RMB11.46 for every HK$1.0 in the Registered Capital of Megahunt. The subscription price was determined in accordance with the terms of Megahunt Share Option Scheme with reference to the business performance and implied value of Megahunt of approximately RMB172 million. The subscription price of RMB11.46 is the result of RMB172 million divided by 15,000,000 (the Registered Capital of Megahunt). The implied value of RMB172 million is the product of the unaudited net profit of Megahunt of approximately RMB18.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 multiplied by a price-to-earning ratio (“ PE ratio ”) of approximately 9.2, which is determined with reference to the PE ratios of certain comparable companies publicly listed in the PRC or Hong Kong engaging in similar business as Megahunt.

Market price of the equity interest of Megahunt on the Date of Grant

Not applicable as the equity interests of Megahunt are not listed.

Ranking of Option Interests under the 2019 Options and rights on winding up of Megahunt

Under the rules of the Megahunt Share Option Scheme, the Option Interests acquired by a Proposed Grantee upon the exercise of an Option will be subject to all the provisions of the articles of association of Megahunt and will rank pari passu in all respects with the equity interests held by other shareholders of Megahunt on the Exercise Date and accordingly will entitle the holders thereof to participate in all dividends or other distributions paid or made on or after the Exercise Date other than any dividend or other distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made if the record date therefor shall be before the Exercise Date. The Option Interests shall only be deemed to carry voting rights until the completion of the registration of the Proposed Grantee as a holder of such Option Interests in accordance with all applicable laws.

Under the rules of the Megahunt Share Option Scheme, subject to the applicable PRC laws, in the event of a resolution being proposed for the winding-up of Megahunt during the Exercise Period, the Proposed Grantee may, subject to the provisions of all applicable laws, by notice in writing to Megahunt at any time not less than two Business Days before the date on which such resolution is to be considered and/or passed, exercise his or her Options (to the extent not already exercised) either to its full extent or to the extent specified in such notice in accordance with the provisions of Megahunt Share Option Scheme and Megahunt shall register such Proposed Grantee as holder of the Option Interests therefor in respect of which such Proposed Grantee has exercised his or her Options not less than one Business Day before the date on which such resolution is to be considered and/or passed whereupon the Proposed Grantee shall accordingly be entitled, in respect of the Option Interests acquired, to participate in the distribution of the assets of Megahunt available in liquidation pari passu with other existing shareholders on the day prior to the date of such resolution. Subject thereto, all Options then outstanding shall lapse and determine on the commencement of the winding-up of Megahunt.

Option Scheme with available unissued Options (excluding the cancelled Options) within the Megahunt Scheme Mandate Limit or the new limits approved by Shareholders.

The Directors (including all the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Mr. Xu CJ and Mr. Xu WS who have abstained from voting) have approved the grant of 2019 Options to Mr. Xu CJ and Mr. Xu WS respectively.

The Date of Grant of the 2018 Options (being 4 July 2018) falls within the 12-month period immediately preceding the Date of Grant of the 2019 Options to the Proposed Grantees and as such, although the 2018 Options would be cancelled on the date on which the grant of the 2019 Options would become unconditional, such 2018 Options will be aggregated with those 2019 Options granted to the Proposed Grantees on 3 June 2019 when calculating the entitlement of the Proposed Grantees under the Megahunt Share Option Scheme.

The percentage of the Registered Capital and the Enlarged Registered Capital when aggregated with the 2018 Options (applicable to the 2018 Grantees only) attributable to Mr. Li (24%), Mr. Liu (7%), Mr. Xu CJ (4.5%), Mr. Xu WS (5%), Mr. Yang (7%) and Ms. Song (1.5%), respectively exceeds the Individual Limit. Therefore, the grant of 2019 Options to Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, Mr. Xu CJ, Mr. Xu WS, Mr. Yang and Ms. Song are subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the SGM.

In addition, under the rules of Megahunt Share Option Scheme, the total Registered Capital which may be contributed by the grantees upon exercise of all Options to be granted under Megahunt Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes of Megahunt shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the Registered Capital of Megahunt as at the date of approval of the Megahunt Share Option Scheme which was 10 August 2018 (“ Megahunt Scheme Mandate Limit ”), being HK$15,000,000 multiplied by 10% which equals to HK$1,500,000.

Pursuant to note 1 to Rule 17.03(3) of the Listing Rules and the rules of Megahunt Share Option Scheme, Megahunt may also seek separate approval of the Shareholders in general meeting for granting Options beyond the Megahunt Scheme Mandate Limit provided the Options in excess of the Megahunt Scheme Mandate Limit are granted only to Participants specifically identified by the Company before such approval is sought. Where Megahunt cancels Options and issues new ones to the same Grantee, the issue of such new Options may only be made under Megahunt Share Option Scheme with available unissued Options (excluding the cancelled Options) within the Megahunt Scheme Mandate Limit or the new limits approved by Shareholders.

After granting Options to Mr. Xu WS, Mr. Yang, Ms. Hui and Ms. Song whose Option Interest represent in aggregate HK$1,500,000 of the Registered Capital, the grant of Options to the remaining Proposed Grantees will exceed the Megahunt Scheme Mandate Limit. Therefore, the grant of Options to Mr. Li, Mr. Liu and Mr. Xu CJ exceeding the Megahunt Scheme Mandate Limit are subject to Shareholders’ approval at the SGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for and benefits of the grant of the 2019 Options

Megahunt is principally engaged in the sales of information security chips and solutions (“ Business ”). Driven by the significant growth of the payment market in the PRC, the information security chips business continued to expand rapidly in 2018 and the annual sales increased by 65% as compared with that for 2017. The Directors are of the view that the Proposed Grantees, being key employees and senior management of the Company or Megahunt, have made substantial contributions to the Company and Megahunt. In addition, the grant of 2019 Options to enable the Proposed Grantees to subscribe for the equity interest in Megahunt will motivate them to contribute to the success and long-term development of the Business. It is also beneficial to Megahunt and the Group as a whole as the interest of the senior management of the Company and Megahunt will be aligned with that of the Group by subscribing for equity interests in Megahunt themselves. In addition, the capital base of Megahunt will be enlarged and the Proposed Grantees will be more committed to the furtherance of the development of the Business.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, neither the Company nor Megahunt has any plan to grant further Options in the future.

The Directors (including all the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Mr. Xu CJ and Mr. Xu WS being also the Proposed Grantees) consider that the amendments to the Megahunt Share Option Scheme and the grant of 2019 Options to the Proposed Grantees are in the interests of Megahunt, the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. All the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Mr. Xu CJ and Mr. Xu WS being also Proposed Grantees) have approved the amendments to the Megahunt Share Option Scheme and the grant of the 2019 Options to the Proposed Grantees.

5. SGM

The SGM Notice is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-4 of this circular. Ordinary resolutions in respect of the approval for amendment of the Megahunt Share Option Scheme and the grant of 2019 Options to Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, Mr. Xu CJ, Mr. Xu WS, Mr. Yang and Ms. Song will be proposed at the SGM.
