LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATES TO BUY BACK AND ISSUE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 24 August 2017, general mandates were granted to the Directors to buy back and issue Shares. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. In order to give the Company the flexibility to buy back or issue Shares if and when appropriate, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

  • (i) to buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange of not exceeding 10% of the total number of the issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 7 of the Notice of AGM (i.e. a total of 102,591,296 Shares on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the AGM); and

  • (ii) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of the issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 8 of the Notice of AGM (i.e. a total of 205,182,592 Shares on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the AGM).

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution to extend the number of Shares which may be allotted, issued or dealt with under the Issuance Mandate by the number of Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM) will also be proposed at the AGM.

The Buy-back Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will continue in force during the period from the date of the passing of the respective resolutions for the approval of the Buy-back Mandate and the Issuance Mandate until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the AGM or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in items 7 and 8 of the Notice of AGM.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 99 of the Bye-laws, the Directors retiring by rotation at the forthcoming AGM are Mr. Ricky Wai Kwong Yuen and Dr. Samson Sun, M.B.E., J.P. who, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. The particulars of these retiring Directors which are required to be disclosed by the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Dr. Samson Sun, M.B.E., J.P. who has served as an Independent Non-executive Director of the Company for more than 9 years, has confirmed his independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. During his years of appointment, Dr. Samson Sun, M.B.E., J.P. has

— 4 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

demonstrated the attributes of an independent non-executive director by providing independent views and advice and there is no evidence that his tenure has had any impact on his independence. The Company considers Dr. Samson Sun, M.B.E., J.P. meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the terms of the guidelines.

The Board is satisfied that Dr. Samson Sun, M.B.E., J.P. has the required integrity, independence and experience to fulfill the role of an independent non-executive director, and therefore recommends the re-appointment and re-election of Dr. Samson Sun, M.B.E., J.P. as an Independent Non-executive Director of the Company in the AGM.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The Notice of AGM is set out on pages 13 to 17 of this circular.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, all proposed resolutions in the Notice of AGM will be voted by way of poll. An announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (http://www.irasia.com/listco/hk/national/). To be valid, the form of proxy must be completed and signed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposited at the Company’s principal place of business in Hong Kong at Suite 3201, Gloucester Tower, The Landmark, 11 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM or the adjourned meeting (as the case maybe). Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM, or any adjournment thereof, if you so wish. No Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting at the AGM.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the granting of the Buy-back Mandate and the Issuance Mandate and the re-election of retiring Directors are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend all the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant proposed resolutions as set out in the Notice of AGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching Chairman

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

This appendix includes 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 AGM in relation to the granting of the Buy-back Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES FOR BUY-BACK OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed buy-back of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be bought back must be fully paid up.

2. FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

Any buy-back will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws of the Company and applicable laws of Bermuda and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2018 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event the proposed buy-back were to be carried out in full during the proposed buy-back period.

However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,025,912,962 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions to approve the general mandates to buy back and issue Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the buy-back proposal to buy back a maximum of 102,591,296 Shares (representing 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company) during the period from the date of the AGM up to:-

  • (i) the conclusion of 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 Bye-laws or any applicable laws of Bermuda to be held; or

— 6 —

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

  • (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Buy-back Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

4. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy back Shares on the market as this will give the Company greater flexibility. Such buy-back will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Bermuda and/or any other applicable laws and in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws of the Company.

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back 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 purpose of Rule 32 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 interest, 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching and Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi, in aggregate, were interested in 586,234,894 Shares, of which 265,701,618 Shares are part of the property of a discretionary trust of which Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching and his family members and Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi’s family members are named beneficiaries; 20,000,000 Shares and 33,000,000 Shares were held by Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching’s family member and Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi’s family member respectively; 250,813,276 Shares were held by a company wholly-owned by Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching; and 16,720,000 Shares were held by Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi, which in aggregate representing approximately 57.14% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event the Buy-Back Mandate is exercised in full, their interest will be increased to 63.49%. The Directors do not expect the increase in shareholding resulting from the exercise of the Buy-back Mandate in full will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the existing public float of the Company was approximately 38.26%. In the event the Buy-back Mandate is exercised in full, the public float of the Company would become approximately 31.40%. The Board will endeavour to ensure that the exercise of the Buy-back Mandate will not result in the number of shares held by the public fall below 25% of the total number of issued Shares, being the minimum public float requirement under the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX I

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make buy-back of Shares.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY
