CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT
The Shareholders approved and adopted the Share Option Scheme under the written resolution of the Shareholder passed on 25 September 2014. On 25 September 2014, the Shareholder granted the Directors power to issue and allot the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes (if any) up to a maximum limit (“Scheme Mandate Limit”) of 40,000,000 Shares before the two share subdivisions of the Company having become effective on 21 April 2015 and 23 June 2016 (which became 2,000,000,000 after the two said share subdivisions having become effective), representing 10% of the Shares in issue on 25 September 2014. On 22 July, 2016, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,800,000,000 Options, of which (i) 1,600,000,000 Options had been exercised by the relevant grantees, (ii) 200,000,000 Option had been cancelled, and (iii) no Option had been lapsed in accordance with the Share Option Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date. After such grant of Options, the Scheme Mandate Limit remained at 200,000,000 Shares.
The details of 1,800,000,000 Options are set out below:
| Participants(note) Date of grant Exercisable period Exercise price HK$ Employees 22 July 2016 22 July 2016 – 21 July 2026 0.0256 Consultants 22 July 2016 22 July 2016 – 21 July 2026 0.0256 |

Note: None of the holders of Options is a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective associates (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
After the share consolidation of the Company having become effective on 9 October 2017, the remaining Scheme Mandate Limit was adjusted from 200,000,000 Shares to 10,000,000 Shares. On 14 July 2020, the Company granted 10,000,000 Options to Mr. Yuen Yu Sum, an executive Director, of which no Options had been (i) exercised; (ii) cancelled; or (iii) lapsed as at the Latest Practicable Date.
The details of 10,000,000 Options are set out below:
| Participants | Date of grant | Exercisable period | Exercise price | No. of Options |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HK$ | ||||
| Mr. Yuen Yu Sum | 14 July 2020 | 14 July 2020 – | HK$0.227 | 10,000,000 |
| (an executive | 13 July 2030 | |||
| Director) |
Save for the refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit to be proposed at the EGM, there has been no other proposal or approval of any refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme on 25 September 2014.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 10,000,000 outstanding Options since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme entitle the holders hereof to subscribe for 10,000,000 Shares, representing 0.7813% of the issued Share capital of the Company. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to enable the Group to grant Options to its employees, directors, suppliers, customers, advisers and shareholders as incentive or rewards for their contribution to the Group. In view of the limited number of Shares available under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit, the Board proposes to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit. The Board considers that the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as it enables the Company to have more flexibility in providing incentives to those eligible participants by way of granting of the Options.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,280,000,000 Shares. Assuming no further issue or repurchase of any Shares prior to the EGM, upon refreshing of the Scheme Mandate Limit by Shareholders at the EGM, the Company may grant options entitling holders thereof to subscribe for up to a maximum of 128,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval by the Shareholders of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the EGM. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no options may be granted if this will result in the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company to exceed 30% of the Shares in issue at any time. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Share Option Scheme, there is no other share option schemes having been adopted by the Company.
- 5 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional on:
-
(a) the passing of the necessary resolution to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the EGM; and
-
(b) the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares (representing a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit) which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Share Option Scheme.
Upon the approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the EGM, the limit under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit which was approved by the Shareholders on 25 September 2014 will be revoked and replaced by the new Scheme Mandate Limit and no option can be granted under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit.
Application will be made to the Stock Exchange in granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares (representing a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit) which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options under the Share Option Scheme.
An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the EGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit on the grant of Options under the Share Option Scheme.
