LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 16 May 2025, existing general unconditional mandates to allot, issue and deal with Shares and to repurchase Shares were granted to the Directors. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the coming AGM, unless renewed at the AGM. As such, Ordinary Resolutions No. 4 and 5 will be proposed at the AGM to seek the approval of the Shareholders to renew these mandates respectively.
Resolutions set out as Ordinary Resolutions No. 4 and 5 in the AGM Notice will be proposed respectively at the AGM to grant to the Directors the following general mandates:
(i) in respect of the Share Issue Mandate, to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares or securities convertible into Shares or options, warrants or similar rights to subscribe for any Shares or such convertible securities or to make or grant offers, agreement and options which would or might require securities to be issued and allotted (other than (a) on a rights issue; (b) upon the exercise of any options granted under the share option scheme of the Company or similar arrangement for the time being adopted for the grant or issue of Shares or rights to acquire Shares; (c) as any scrip dividend or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of the whole or part of a dividend on Shares in accordance with the Bye-laws; or (d) upon the exercise of rights of subscription or conversion under the terms of any warrants of the Company or any securities which are convertible into Shares and the issue of such warrants or other securities has previously been approved by Shareholders) and whose aggregate nominal amount does not exceed:
(a) in the case of an allotment and issue of Shares for cash, 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing such resolution; and
(b) in the case of an allotment and issue of Shares other than for cash, 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing such resolution (less the aggregate nominal amount of Shares (if any) allotted and issued or to be allotted and issued pursuant to the general mandate granted pursuant to subparagraph (a) above),
provided that, in any event, no Shares shall be allotted and issued pursuant to this general mandate for cash consideration if the relevant price represents a discount of 10% or more to the Benchmarked Price (as defined below) of the Shares; and
(ii) in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate, to repurchase Shares whose aggregate nominal amount does not exceed 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing such resolution.
The aggregate nominal amount of Shares may be allotted and issued or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted or issued pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate (for cash or otherwise) shall not exceed 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Share in issue as at the date of approving such mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 498,671,823 Shares. If Ordinary Resolution No. 4 is passed at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are to be repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares to be issued pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate shall be 99,734,364 Shares. If Ordinary Resolution No. 5 is passed at the AGM and assuming that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares may be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate shall be 49,867,182 Shares.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
For the purpose of the Share Issue Mandate, the “Benchmarked Price” shall be a price which is the higher of:
- the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet on the date of signing of the agreement to which the transaction relates; and
- the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet in the five trading days immediately prior to the earlier of:
(a) the date of signing of the agreement to which the allotment and issue of Shares relate; or
(b) the date on which the relevant allotment and issue of Shares are announced; or
(c) the date on which the price of the relevant Shares to be allotted and issued is fixed.
The Share Issue Mandate or the Share Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) will remain in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda or any other applicable law of Bermuda to be held, or until the Share Issue Mandate or the Share Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is the earliest.
An explanatory statement to provide Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution concerning the Share Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate.
3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with No. 84 of the Company’s bye-laws (the “Bye-laws”), Ms. Tang Tsz Ying and Mr. Lai Wing Hong, Joseph (“Mr. Lai”) will retire at the forthcoming AGM and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience, time commitment and contributions of the retiring Directors, having regard to the nomination policy and the board diversity policy of the Company.
The Nomination Committee has also reviewed the biographical details of Mr. Lai and his meeting of the nomination criteria (including but not limited to, reputation for integrity, experience in the printing and financial industry, commitment in providing attention to the Company’s interest and business and ability to assist and support the management to make contribution to the Company’s success) and considered the diversity aspects (including but not limited to, skills, talents, regional and industry experience, background, gender) and took the view that Mr. Lai has provided valuable contributions to the Company and demonstrated his ability to exercise independent judgment and provide a balanced and objective view in relation to the Company’s affairs and his extensive experience in his own fields is relevant to the Company’s business. In addition, his educational background and diversity of experience have enabled them to provide valuable and diverse views, as well as relevant insights to the Board and contribute to the diversity of the Board. The Nomination Committee had also assessed his independence based on his annual confirmation of independence and was satisfied with his independence with reference to the criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Nomination Committee is of the view that the retiring Directors have extensive experience in different fields and professions that are relevant to the Company's business. In addition, their respective educational background, experience and knowledge allow them to provide valuable and relevant insights and contribute to the diversity of the Board. Accordingly, the Nomination Committee has recommended them to the Board for re-election and the Board has endorsed the recommendations of the Nomination Committee and recommended all the retiring Directors to stand for re-election at the AGM.
Brief biographical details of the retiring directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This explanatory statement relates to the ordinary resolution proposed to be passed at the AGM for the grant of a general mandate to the Board to repurchase Shares through Stock Exchange. It contains all the information required by the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against such ordinary resolution.
- SOURCE OF FUNDS
Repurchases of Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Bye-laws of the Company and the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. A listed company may not repurchase its own 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.
- SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised of 498,671,823 Shares of HKD0.01 each.
If Ordinary Resolution No. 5 is passed at the AGM, and assuming that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the AGM, up to 49,867,182 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company, may be repurchased by the Company.
- REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Board believes that it is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Board to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market at any appropriate time. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
- IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
There may 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 contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that there would be a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Group which in the opinion of the Directors are appropriate from time to time.
- UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of any repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge of the Directors, the following persons are substantial shareholders of the Company as recorded in the register required to be kept by the Company under Section 336 of the SFO:
Approximately % shareholding
| Name of Substantial Shareholder | Number of Shares held | As at the Latest Practicable Date | If Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mr. Lau Chuk Kin (Note 1) | 344,373,247 | 69.06% | 76.73% |
| ER2 Holdings Limited (Note 1) | 323,738,411 | 64.92% | 72.13% |
| City Apex Ltd. (Note 1) | 323,738,411 | 64.92% | 72.13% |
| Lion Rock (Note 1) | 307,604,954 | 61.68% | 68.54% |
| 1010 Group Limited (Note 1) | 307,604,954 | 61.68% | 68.54% |
| Bookbuilders BVI Limited (Note 1) | 307,604,954 | 61.68% | 68.54% |
| Mr. Richard Francis Celarc (Note 2) | 25,259,241 | 5.07% | 5.63% |
Notes:
-
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Lau directly held 20,634,836 Shares and was deemed to be interested in 323,738,411 Shares pursuant to Part XV of the SFO. Of 323,738,411 Shares, 307,604,954 Shares and 16,133,457 Shares were beneficially owned by Bookbuilers BVI Limited and City Apex Ltd. Bookbuilders BVI Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of 1010 Group Limited and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Rock. Lion Rock is held directly by City Apex Ltd., and Mr. Lau as to 33.52% and 13.18% respectively. City Apex Ltd is owned as to 77.00% by ER2 Holdings Limited. ER2 Holdings Limited is owned as to 69.76% by Mr. Lau. By virtue of Part XV of the SFO, Mr. Lau is deemed to be interested in the said Shares.
-
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Celarc is deemed to be interested in 25,259,241 Shares, which comprises (i) 33,117 Shares held by Navigator Australia Limited (as the custodian for the Richard Celarc Family Trust); (ii) 11,523,168 Shares held by D.M.R.A. Property Pty Limited (“D.M.R.A. Property”), a company wholly-owned by Mr. Celarc; (iii) 7,533,039 Shares held by the Richard Celarc Family Trust by virtue of Mr. Celarc being the trustee; and (iv) 6,169,917 Shares held by Ligare Superannuation Nominees Pty Ltd as the trustee for Ligare Staff Superannuation Fund of which both Mr. Celarc and his wife are the only members of the superannuation fund.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the Ordinary Resolution No. 5 to be proposed at the AGM, the shareholding of the substantial shareholders in the Company would increase to approximately the percentages as set out opposite their respective names in the table above. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.
Assuming that there is no issue of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of a repurchase, an exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate, whether in whole or in part, may result in the Shares being held by the public falling below the relevant prescribed minimum percentage of 25% as required by the Stock Exchange.
In any event, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent which will trigger the mandatory offer requirement pursuant to the rules of the Takeovers Code or which will reduce the public shareholding of the Company to be less than such minimum percentage.
- SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No purchase of Shares has been made by the Company in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.
- CONNECTED PERSONS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates, had any present intention to sell any of the Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM and is exercised.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any of the Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM and is exercised.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
