To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND ISSUE SHARES, RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, ADOPTION OF 2014 SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 August 2013, resolutions of the Shareholders were passed giving general unconditional mandates to the Directors to:

  • (i) allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing such resolution;

  • (ii) to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution; and

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) add to the general mandate for issuing Shares as mentioned in paragraph (i) above an amount representing the total nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company under the general mandate granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares as mentioned in paragraph (ii) above.

The above general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to give fresh general mandates to the Directors.

The Directors propose to seek your approval of the Repurchase Proposal to be proposed at the AGM, details of which are set out in Repurchase Resolution. An explanatory statement as required under the Share Repurchase Rules to provide the requisite information of the Repurchase Proposal is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

Two ordinary resolutions will also be proposed at the AGM, namely ordinary resolution nos. 5 to 6 for granting to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of ordinary resolution no. 5 and adding to such general mandate so granted to the Directors any Shares representing the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company after the granting of the general mandate to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of ordinary resolution no. 4.

The Company had 7,140,830,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Subject to the passing of the aforesaid ordinary resolution no. 5 and in accordance with the terms therein, the Company would be allowed to issue additional Shares up to the aggregate nominal amount of a maximum of 1,428,166,000 Shares on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM.

Details of the share issue mandate and the extension of the share issue mandate are respectively set out in ordinary resolution nos. 5 and 6 in the AGM Notice.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the executive Directors of the Company are Mr. Tan Bondy, Ms. Sun Wei and Ms. Shen Lihong and the independent non-executive Directors of the Company are Mr. Liu Kwong Sang (“Mr. Liu”), Dr. Wan Ho Yuen Terence, Ms. Wang Miaojun and Mr. Ma Qianli.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with articles 87(1) and 87(2) of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not greater than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation. Mr. Liu will retire at the forthcoming AGM and, being eligible, will offer himself for re-election.

In accordance with article 86(3) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Tan Bondy and Dr. Wan Ho Yuen Terence, who were appointed on 17 January 2014, Ms. Wang Miaojun, who was appointed on 5 February 2014, Ms. Sun Wei and Mr. Ma Qianli, who were appointed on 26 February 2014, Ms. Shen Lihong, who was appointed on 9 May 2014, will hold office until the conclusion of AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.

Mr. Liu was appointed as an independent non-executive Director in September 2004 and therefore would have served for more than nine years as at the date of the forthcoming AGM. He has confirmed his independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

Having considered the requirements and obligations of an independent non-executive Director, including the factors to be taken into account in assessing his independence under Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, the Board believes that Mr. Liu continues to be independent and should be re-elected as an independent non-executive Director at the AGM. In addition, the Board believes that Mr. Liu has the character, integrity, independence and expertise to fulfill his role effectively and will continue to bring valuable experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning.

Details of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II hereto.

ADOPTION OF 2014 SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The 2004 Share Option Scheme

The 2004 Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 6 September 2004 and will expire on 6 September 2014. The 10% limit under the 2004 Share Option Scheme was refreshed on 29 August 2008. Under the terms of the 2004 Share Option Scheme, unless otherwise terminated or amended, the 2004 Share Option Scheme would remain in force for a period of 10 years from the date of its adoption. Apart from the 2004 Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other subsisting share option scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

During the term of the 2004 Share Option Scheme and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Board has, on 24 July 2014, fully utilized the 10% limit and granted share options of 153,383,000 Shares to 10 individuals comprise one Director, certain employees and consultants of the Company to subscribe for Shares at an exercise price of HK$0.375 each for a validity period from 25 July 2014 to 6 September 2014, subject to acceptance of the grantee, under the 2004 Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the options granted in respect of 153,383,000 Shares have not been exercised and remain outstanding.

Adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme

The Board proposes the adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme at the AGM date, which will be valid for 10 years.

The purpose of the 2014 Share Option Scheme is to enable the Company to grant Options to the Participants, to recognise and acknowledge the contributions or potential contributions have made or will be made by the Participants to the Group as incentives and/or rewards for their contribution to the Group following the expiry of the 2004 Share Option Scheme. A summary of the principal terms of the proposed 2014 Share Option Scheme is set out in Appendix III of this circular. The terms of the 2014 Share Option Scheme is materially the same as the 2004 Share Option Scheme save for those changes which were made in compliance with amendments to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules since 2004.

The Board considers that the adoption of 2014 Share Option Scheme is in the interests of the Group and will facilitate the retention and the recruitment of high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group. To ensure that these purposes are achieved, the 2014 Share Option Scheme provides that the Board will grant Options only to Participants who have made valuable contribution to the business of the Group based on their performance and/or years of service, or who are regarded as valuable resources of the Group based on their working experience, knowledge in the industry and other relevant factors or are expected to be able to contribute to the prosperity, business development or growth of the Group based on their business connection or network or other relevant factors.

The provisions of the 2014 Share Option Scheme will comply with the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 7,140,830,000 Shares in issue. Assuming that no further Share will be allotted, issued, repurchased or exercised under the 2004 Share Option Scheme prior to the AGM, the total number of Shares that may fall to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the Options would be 714,083,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue. No trustee will be appointed under the 2014 Share Option Scheme.

The Directors believe that the authority given to the Directors under the 2014 Share Option Scheme to specify any minimum holding period and/or performance targets as conditions in any Option granted and the requirement for a minimum subscription price

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

as well as the authority to select the appropriate Participants as prescribed by the rules of the 2014 Share Option Scheme will serve to protect the value of the Company as well as to achieve the purposes of the 2014 Share Option Scheme.

The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to state the value of the Options that can be granted pursuant to the 2014 Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors believe that any statement regarding the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date will not be meaningful to the Shareholders, since the Options to be granted shall not be assignable, and no holder of the Options shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage or create any interest (legal or beneficial) in favour of any third party over or in relation to any Option.

In addition, the calculation of the Options is based on a number of variables such as the exercise price, exercise period, interest rate, expected volatility and other relevant variables. The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a great number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful and would be misleading to the Shareholders.

Conditions precedent of the 2014 Share Option Scheme

The adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of ordinary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the AGM to:

  • (a) approve and adopt the 2014 Share Option Scheme;

  • (b) authorise the Board to grant Options under the 2014 Share Option Scheme; and

  • (c) authorise the Board to allot and issue Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Options to be granted pursuant to the 2014 Share Option Scheme; and

  • (ii) the listing committee of the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Committee”) granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, on the Stock Exchange, any Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued by the Company pursuant to the exercise of the Options in accordance with the terms and conditions to the 2014 Share Option Scheme.

Subject to the obtaining of the Shareholders’ approval with respect to the adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme at the AGM, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date on which the 2014 Share Option Scheme is adopted unless the Company obtains a fresh approval from Shareholders to renew the 10% limit on the basis that the maximum number of Shares in respect of which Options may be granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme together with any Options outstanding and yet to be exercised under the 2014 Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes shall not exceed 30% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A copy of the 2014 Share Option Scheme is available for inspection at the Company’s principal place of business in Hong Kong at Room 901, Silver Fortune Plaza, 1 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong during normal business hours from the date hereof up to the date of AGM.

None of the Directors is a trustee of the 2014 Share Option Scheme or has any direct or indirect interest in the trustees of the 2014 Share Option Scheme, if any.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder has a material interest in the adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme. As such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution in relation thereto.

AGM

Set out on pages 26 to 29 of this document is the AGM Notice.

At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders in respect of ordinary business to be considered at the AGM, including the re-election of Directors, and special business to be considered at the AGM, being the ordinary resolutions to approve the proposed Repurchase Proposal, the general mandate for Directors to issue new Shares, the extension of the general mandate to issue new Shares by adding the number of Shares repurchased and the adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme.

VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to article 66 of the Articles of Association and Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at the general meetings must be taken by poll. All resolutions put to the vote of the AGM will therefore be decided by poll.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

A proxy form for use at the AGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the proxy form and return it to the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of a proxy form will not prevent you from attending and voting in person at the AGM if you so wish.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal, the general mandate for Directors to issue new Shares, the extension of the general mandate to issue new Shares by adding the number of Shares repurchased, the re-election of Directors and the adoption of the 2014 Share Option Scheme are all in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all Shareholders should vote in favour of such resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Proposal.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 7,140,830,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Share will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Proposal to repurchase a maximum of 714,083,000 Shares representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Repurchase resolution would continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the expiration of period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law to be held or it is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting of the Company, whichever is the earliest.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal is in the best interests of 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 and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount to be repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid from the profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or out of capital, if the Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2014 in the event that the Repurchase Proposal was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Proposal to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

6. TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the register of interests in shares and short positions maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 336 of the SFO showed that the Company has been notified of the following interests, being 5% or more of the Company’s issued share capital:

Approximate

Note: Huge Leader Holdings Limited is owned as to 60% by Mr. Xiao Baoyan and 40% by Ms. Chan Ka Wai.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Proposal. The Company has no present intention to repurchase Shares to such extent as to result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

7. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
