To the Shareholders and, for information only, the holders of share options of the Company,

Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR

(i) GRANT OF ISSUE MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE; (ii) RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS; (iii) PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND; (iv) CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS; AND (v) NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding certain resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against those resolutions.

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed for the Shareholders to approve, among other things, (i) the proposed grant of the Issue Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate; (ii) the proposed grant of the Repurchase Mandate; (iii) the proposed re-election of retiring Directors; and (iv) the proposed payment of Final Dividend (as defined below).

1. PROPOSED ISSUE MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the AGM, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed:

  • (a) to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares up to 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution;

  • (b) to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution; and

  • (c) to extend the Issue Mandate by an amount representing the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,357,521,666. Accordingly, the exercise of the Issue Mandate in full would enable the Company to issue a maximum of 271,504,333 new Shares and the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would enable the Company to repurchase a maximum of 135,752,166 Shares (assuming no Share is issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the passing of the relevant resolution). The Directors believe that the grant of the Issue Mandate will provide flexibility and discretion to the Directors in the event that the Company becomes desirous to issue new Shares to raise capital to facilitate any expansion plan as the Directors consider appropriate, and it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market by granting the Repurchase Mandate. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

An explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, on the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. This contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolutions.

The Board advises that it has no present intention to repurchase any Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate or issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate in the event that the relevant resolutions are approved.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for consideration of the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

I. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 1,357,521,666 Shares in issue or an issued share capital of HK$135,752,166.

Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that none of the outstanding share options is exercised and no further Shares is issued, allotted or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the exercise of the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full would result in up to a maximum of 135,752,166 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue and a share capital of HK$13,575,216, being repurchased by the Company during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which the proposed Repurchase Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

II. REASONS FOR SHARES REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of exercising the proposed Repurchase Mandate, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the proposed Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders. At any time in the future when the Shares are traded at a discount to their underlying value, the ability of the Company to repurchase the Shares will be beneficial to the Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company as their percentage interest in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of Shares repurchased by the Company from time to time and thereby resulting in an increase in net assets and/or earnings per share of the Company. Such repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such exercises will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 8 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

III. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

The repurchase of Shares under the proposed Repurchase Mandate would be financed from the Company’s internal resources.

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the relevant shares (subject to the Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands), profit or the proceeds of a new issue of the shares made for such purpose. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase of Shares would be derived from the capital paid up on the Shares being repurchased and from the distributable profits of the Company.

The working capital or gearing position of the Company could be adversely affected (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019) in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the period which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as is from time to time appropriate.

The number of the Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are purchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

VI. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares or other securities to the Company. No core connected person has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

VII. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of repurchase of the Shares, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of 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 insofar as the Directors are aware, substantial shareholders of the Company having an interests representing 5% or more in the issued share capital of the Company which are discloseable under Part XV of the SFO are as follows:

Approximate
Number of percentage of
Name Nature of interest Shares* Shareholding
Mr. DONG Li Interest of 1,009,513,000 (L) 74.36
controlled corporation(1)
Master Alliance Beneficial owner 1,009,513,000 (L) 74.36
Investment Limited
  • The letter “L” denotes long position of the shareholder in the Shares.

Note:

  1. Mr. DONG Li is deemed to be interested in 1,009,513,000 Shares held by Master Alliance Investment Limited, a company wholly owned by Mr. DONG Li.

– 11 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased and in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and that there is no change in the shareholding of Master Alliance Investment Limited in the Company, the shareholding of Master Alliance Investment Limited would be increased to approximately 82.63% of the issued share capital of the Company on exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate. Should such increase arise, Master Alliance Investment Limited would not be required to make a mandatory offer for all Shares not already owned by it or its concert parties under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code because it already holds more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

VIII. SHARES REPURCHASED BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) has been made by the Company in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
