CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES

The Company’s existing mandates to issue and repurchase Shares were approved by the Shareholders on June 14, 2016.

In order to ensure greater flexibility and give discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to issue new Shares, approval is to be sought for the Shareholders, pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules, for the Issue Mandate to issue Shares. An ordinary resolution no. 4(A) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new shares in the share capital of the Company up to 20 per cent of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of the resolution in relation to the Issue Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was 368,730,964 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the above ordinary resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 73,746,193 Shares.

In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution no. 4(C), the number of Shares purchased by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 4(B), if approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, will also be added to extend the 20 per cent limit of the Issue Mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution no. 4(A) provided that such additional number shall not exceed 10 per cent of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of the Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate. The Directors have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares of the Company pursuant to the Issue Mandate.

In addition, an ordinary resolution no. 4(B) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares representing up to 10 per cent of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was 368,730,964 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the above resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 36,873,096 Shares.

An explanatory statement required by the GEM Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The Issue Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate, if granted, shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the same 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 laws of the Cayman Islands or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Issue Mandate (including the Extension Mandate) or the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever occurs first.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the GEM Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 368,730,964 Shares of nominal value of US$0.000025 each. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 36,873,096 Shares which represent 10 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the 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 to be held by Cayman Companies Law or the Articles of Association; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

REASONS AND FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. 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/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Cayman Companies Law and the GEM Listing Rules. The Cayman Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2016, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates, as defined in the GEM Listing Rules, currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.

No core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition 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, Mr. Wang Feng is the largest shareholder of the Company. Mr. Wang Feng owns 77,222,468 Shares (of which 66,576,160 Shares through his wholly-owned company, Wangfeng Management Limited). In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Wang Feng will be increased from 20.94% to approximately 23.27%.

On the basis of the aforesaid increase in shareholding, the Directors are aware that such repurchases of Shares would not result in becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full.

The GEM Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25 per cent (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.
