At the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 10, 2022, a general and unconditional mandate was granted to the Directors to issue, allot and deal with Shares.

Accordingly, the Board proposes to approve and adopt the 2023 RSU Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,394,262,732 Shares in issue. Assuming there is no change in the number of issued Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the Adoption Date, the maximum number of Shares issuable pursuant to the 2023 RSU Scheme and any other schemes of the Company (if any) in aggregate will be 139,426,273 Shares, being 10% of the total number of Shares in issue on the date of approval of the 2023 RSU Scheme.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,394,262,732 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 6 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 1,394,262,732 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, up to a total of 139,426,273 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting during the period 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 of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date of revocation or variation of the Share Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be. The Company may not purchase securities on the Stock Exchange 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.

It is presently proposed that any repurchase of Shares would be made out of capital paid up on the repurchased Shares, funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose and, in the case of any premium payable on such repurchase, from funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or from the Company’s share premium account.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

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 accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate 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.

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the twelve months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2022
May 2.490 2.110

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, 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 interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of such increase.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the substantial Shareholders who were interested in 10% or more of the issued share capital of the Company were as follows:

Percentage
interest in the
issued share
capital of the
Current Company in
percentage the event the
interest in the Repurchase Number of

Ms. Yao(3) 13.12% 14.57% 182,888,000

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

Notes:

  • (1) All the Shares are held in long position (as defined under Part XV of the SFO).

  • (2) Mr. Kang owns Envision Global as to 100%, which in turn owns 650,200,000 Shares. Therefore, Mr. Kang is deemed to be interested in the 650,200,000 Shares held by Envision Global.

  • (3) Ms. Yao owns Total Dynamic Holdings Limited as to 100%, which in turn owns 182,888,000 Shares. Therefore, Ms. Yao is deemed to be interested in these Shares held by Total Dynamic Holdings Limited.

  • (4) The percentage is this table is for illustrative purpose only, subject to rounding errors and is calculated based on the number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the interests of the substantial shareholders in the Company will be increased to approximately the percentages as set out in the table above. The Directors believe that such increases in shareholding may give rise to an obligation on Envision Global and Mr. Kang to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting) to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2023 RSU SCHEME

APPENDIX III

The Company has not in the past granted any awards to Service Providers Participants and Related Entity Participants under the 2014 RSU Scheme. Inclusion of these participants in the 2023 RSU Scheme is in compliance with the Listing Rules and gives the Company the flexibility to incentivise them if the Company is of the view that such grant is in the interest of the long term growth of the Group.

Additional criteria for determining the eligibility of a Service Provider Participant

Where a service provider qualifies for one of the above service provider types and meets the initial eligibility criteria to fall within the above categories, the below will be considered:

Whether one qualifies as a Service Provider Participant: Whether a potential service provider will be eligible to qualify as a Service Provider Participant will be determined by the Scheme Administrator based on qualitative and quantitative performance indicators to be on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the above eligibility criteria.

Whether a service provider provides services to the Group on a continuing basis: In assessing whether a service provider provides services to the Group on a continuing basis, the Scheme Administrator will take into account factors such as: (i) length and type of services provided or will be provided to the Group, recurrence and regularity of such services; (ii) how the selection metrics benchmark against comparable metrics used to determine other eligible participants who have been granted awards under the Company’s share incentive plans; (iii) the Group’s objectives in engaging the service provider and how granting awards to the service provider would align with the purpose of the 2023 RSU Scheme or benefit the Group; and (iv) remuneration packages of comparable listed peers with respect to similar service providers, if any, based on available industry information.

Note:

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the proposed categories of Related Entity Participant and Service Provider Participant to be in line with industry norms and that the proposed scope for ‘‘Eligible Participants’’ (including the selection of Eligible Participants) to be appropriate and aligns with the purpose of this scheme. In particular:

  • (a) Related Entity Participants will have a sufficiently close relationship with the Group and would likely be in a position to influence the Group’s business, reputation, operations and performance;

– 24 –

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2023 RSU SCHEME

  • (b) Service Provider Participants are those service provider sub-categories that the Company considers to be particularly important to the success of the Group’s business and future development, including (i) by contributing to the Group’s platforms and services/products as technical advisors and consultants, and thereby increasing the Group’s industry influence by enhancing its R&D capabilities to contribute to the development of national IC standards; (ii) by contributing to the Group’s operations and business structure/model (e.g., through the expertise and contribution of consultants, the user engagement and business opportunities and growth brought about through business collaborators); and (iii) would enable the Group to preserve its cash resources, and instead, use share incentives to attract persons of talent outside of the Group, whilst also aligning their interests with that of the Group and Shareholders through them owning a proprietary interest in the Company and becoming future Shareholders;

  • (c) this scope is consistent with scope of grantees approved by the Company under past share schemes, as well as, to the best knowledge of the Directors, the practices of peer companies that operate in similar or comparable industries to that of the Group (for example, technology industry) or other companies listed in Hong Kong and their remuneration or compensation packages,

and accordingly, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider it appropriate to enhance the long-term relationship with these Eligible Participants by aligning their interests with that of the Company and Shareholders. Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the proposed scope for ‘‘Eligible Participants’’ is in line with the purpose of the 2023 RSU Scheme.

  • Scheme Mandate Scheme Mandate Limit:

  • Limit, Existing Shares Scheme Limit and Service Provider Sublimit:

The total number of new Shares that may be issued pursuant to all Awards to be granted under this Scheme and awards to be granted under any other share schemes of the Company is (the ‘‘Scheme Mandate Limit’’):

  • (a) initially set at 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date, being 139,426,273 Shares (assuming that there are no changes to the Company’s issued share capital between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting); and

  • (b) may be subsequently refreshed in accordance with the Scheme Rules and the Listing Rules, as further approved by Shareholders at general meeting.

Award Shares underlying Awards that have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Scheme Rules (or the terms of any other share schemes of the Company) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2023 RSU SCHEME

APPENDIX III

Existing Shares Scheme Limit

The total number of existing Shares in issue which may be transferred as Award Shares underlying an Award pursuant to this Scheme is set at 1% of the Shares in issue on the Adoption Date, 13,942,627 Shares (assuming that there are no changes to the Company’s issued share capital between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting) (the ‘‘Existing Shares Scheme Limit’’).

Pursuant to the Scheme Rules, the Company can direct and procure a trustee administering the scheme to make on-market purchases of shares and transfer the relevant number of existing shares to satisfy the grants made thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Shares Scheme Limit shall not count toward the Scheme Mandate Limit. Shares which have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Scheme Rules (or any other share schemes of the Company) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no trustee has been appointed to administer and implement the 2023 RSU Scheme. If a trustee is appointed by the Company in future, it shall comply with the requirements regarding voting arrangements as set out under Rule 17.05A of the Listing Rules.

Service Provider Sublimit

The total number of new Shares that may be issued pursuant to all Awards to be granted to Service Provider Participants under this scheme is (the ‘‘Service Provider Sublimit’’):

  • (a) initially set at up to 3% of the Scheme Mandate Limit, being 4,182,788 Shares (assuming that there are no changes to the Company’s issued share capital between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting); and

  • (b) may be subsequently refreshed in accordance with the Scheme Rules and the Listing Rules, as further approved by Shareholders at general meeting.

– 26 –

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE 2023 RSU SCHEME

APPENDIX III

Note:

The Service Provider Sublimit is determined based on the maximum possible number of new Shares that the Company intends to grant to Service Provider Participants and the Company’s future business and development plan. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the Service Provider Sublimit to be appropriate and reasonable given the nature of the industries in which the Group operates and the Group’s current and future business needs, and takes into account:

  • (i) the rationale behind the scope and eligibility criteria of Service Provider Participants, as detailed above;

  • (ii) that this sublimit provides the Group with flexibility to provide equity incentives (instead of expending cash resources in the form of monetary consideration) to reward and collaborate with persons who are not employees or directors of the Group, but who may have exceptional expertise in their field or who may be able to provide valuable expertise and services to the Group, which is in line with the purpose of the 2023 RSU Scheme;

  • (iii) the fact that this sublimit represents a maximum limit and that the Company retains the flexibility to allocate Award Shares from this sublimit to satisfy Awards to other Eligible Participants depending on business growth and needs in the future as and when appropriate. For example, where the Company considers that the business needs of the Group at a future point in time suggests that the full Service Provider Sublimit is no longer needed for Service Provider Participants and that it would be more appropriate and beneficial to serve the purpose of the 2023 RSU Scheme to allocate a portion of the Award Shares under this sublimit to other Eligible Participants; and

  • (iv) the service provider sublimits (as a percentage of the scheme mandate limit) proposed or adopted by other companies listed on the Stock Exchange.

  • (d) grants of Awards the timing of which is determined by administrative or compliance requirements not connected with the performance of the Employee Participant, in which case the vesting date may be adjusted to take account of the time from which the Award would have been granted if not for such administrative or compliance requirements;

Note:

This includes the situation where the awards should have been granted earlier (e.g. at the time of employment of a new employee) but such grant is delayed due to administrative or compliance reasons such that all the grants are dealt with and announced at the same time periodically, in which case, the vesting period may be shortened to reflect such time of delay of the grant.

  • (e) grants of Awards with a mixed vesting schedule such that the Award vests evenly over a period of 12 months; or

  • (f) grants of Awards with a total vesting and holding period of more than 12 months.

Note:

The Directors and the Remuneration Committee to the Board are of the view that the vesting period (including the circumstances in which a shorter vesting period may apply), as detailed above, enables the Company to offer competitive remuneration and reward packages to Employee Participants, on an ad hoc basis, in such circumstances that would be justified and reasonable, which is also consistent with the Listing Rules and the former practice of the Company and peer companies in the Group’s industry. Accordingly, the above vesting period is considered appropriate and aligns with the purpose of the 2023 RSU Scheme.

APPENDIX III

Performance targets:

The Scheme Administrator may set performance criteria/targets in the Award Letter in respect of Awards granted based on, among others, transaction milestones, business or financial performance results, individual performance appraisal and/or contribution to the Group, and as evaluated by the Group over a specified evaluation period.

Note:

The Directors consider that it is not practicable to expressly set out a generic set of performance targets in the 2023 RSU Scheme, since each Grantee has a different position/ role with respect to the Group and will contribute differently to the Group in both nature, duration and significance. The Scheme Administrator will have regard to the purpose of the 2023 RSU Scheme in making such determinations, with performance targets generally being in line with common key performance indicators in the industry of the Group, such as quantitative performance targets to be achieved, the Grantee’s background/experience, qualitative contributions made or potentially to be made to the Group, and broader audit result trends, subject to amendments or adjustments as the Scheme Administrator deem appropriate.

  • Voting and Dividend Rights:

  • Awards do not carry any right to vote at general meetings of the Company, nor any right to dividends, transfer or other rights. No Grantee shall enjoy any of the rights of a Shareholder by virtue of the grant of an Award unless and until the Shares underlying an Award are issued or transferred to the Grantee pursuant to the vesting of such Award.

Where Shares underlying vested Awards are issued or transferred to the Grantee’s nominated account to be held on trust for the Grantee, a Grantee may give instructions to the manager of the nominated account to exercise the voting rights in respect of those Shares pursuant to the rules of the governing documents.

Clawback:

Where certain events specified in the Scheme Rules arises, the Board may determine that, with respect to a Grantee, Awards granted but not yet vested shall immediately lapse, and with respect to any Shares delivered or amount paid to the Grantee, the Grantee be required to transfer the same value, whether in Shares and/or cash, back to our Company (or nominee). These circumstances are:

  • (a) a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of the termination of the Grantee’s employment or contractual engagement with the Group or Related Entity for cause or without notice or with payment in lieu of notice;

APPENDIX III

  • (b) a Grantee has been convicted of a criminal offence involving his/her integrity or honesty; or

  • (c) in the reasonable opinion of the Board, a Grantee has engaged in serious misconduct or breaches the terms of this Scheme in any material respect.

Note:

The Directors are of the view that the above clawback mechanism enables the Company to clawback awards (or the award shares underlying such awards) received by those Grantees that have, for example, seriously violated the policies of the Group, put the Group into disrepute, adversely harmed the Group, or otherwise exposed the Group to significant risk. In these circumstances, the Company would not consider it in the Company or Shareholders’ best interests to incentivise them with proprietary interests of the Company under the 2023 RSU Scheme, nor would the Company consider such Grantees benefiting under the 2023 RSU Scheme to align with the purpose of this scheme. As such. The Company considers this clawback mechanism appropriate and reasonable.

Lapse of awards: Unless otherwise specified in the Award Letter, an Award shall lapse automatically in upon the following events:

  • (a) the Award not accepted by the Grantee within the acceptance period;

  • (b) an Award that was scheduled to vest has not vested due to, for example, the Grantee failing to satisfy the performance criteria;

  • (c) the Grantee ceasing to qualify as an Eligible Participant;

  • (d) the clawback mechanism being triggered;

  • (e) the Grantee forfeiting the Award;

  • (f) the Grantee breaching the rule against transferring the Awards;

  • (g) the date of the commencement of the winding-up of the Company; and

  • (h) the expiry of the periods referred to in the paragraphs headed ‘‘Rights on winding-up’’ and ‘‘Rights on a compromise or ’’

  • arrangement .

  • Cancellation of The Scheme Administrator may cancel an Award with the prior consent of Awards: the Grantee.

Following such transfer, the transferee shall be bound by the Scheme Rules and Award Letter as if the transferee was the Grantee.

No Award shall be granted to any Eligible Participant during the following time periods:

  • (a) in circumstances prohibited by the Listing Rules or at a time when the relevant Eligible Participant would be prohibited from dealing in the Shares by the Listing Rules (including the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers, set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules) or by any other applicable rule, regulation or law;

  • (b) where the Company is in possession of any unpublished inside information in relation to the Company, until (and including) the trading day after such inside information has been announced; and

  • (a) the number of Shares constituting the Scheme Mandate Limit, Service Provider Sublimit or Existing Shares Scheme Limit, provided that in the event of any Share subdivision or consolidation the Scheme Mandate Limit, Service Provider Sublimit and Existing Shares Scheme Limit as a percentage of the total issued Shares at the date immediately before any consolidation or subdivision shall be the same on the date immediately after such consolidation or subdivision;

The capacity of the auditors or financial advisor (as the case may be) is that of experts and not of arbitrators and their certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Company and the Grantees.
