LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Accordingly, Mr. Fok Hau Fai, Mr. Sung Sing Yan, Mr. Hung Kin Sang, Mr. Lee Yin Sing and Mr. Wan Chun Kwan shall retire at the 2020 AGM and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
The re-election of Directors has been reviewed by the Nomination Committee of the Company which recommended to the Board that the re-election be proposed for Shareholders’ approval at the 2020 AGM. The Nomination Committee has also assessed the independence of all the INEDs. All the INEDs of the Company have satisfied the Independence Guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and each has provided to the Company an annual written confirmation of his independence.
In recommending Mr. Fok and Mr. Sung to stand for re-election as Executive Directors, and Mr. Hung, Mr. Lee and Mr. Wan to stand for re-election as INEDs, the Nomination Committee has considered the following background and attributes of the nominees concerned:

– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Nomination Committee considered that in view of their diverse and different educational background and professional knowledge and experience in the fire safety service industry, sales and marketing, accounting and finance, corporate governance practices and engineering, the appointments of Mr. Fok and Mr. Sung as Executive Directors and the appointments of Mr. Hung, Mr. Lee and Mr. Wan as INEDs will bring valuable perspectives, knowledge, skills and experiences to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and their appointments will contribute to the diversity of the Board appropriate to the requirements of the Company’s business.
The biographical details of the above-mentioned Directors proposed to be re-elected at the 2020 AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
RESOLUTION (3) RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
The Board (which agreed with the view of the Audit Committee of the Company) recommended that, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the 2020 AGM, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu be re-appointed as the external auditor of the Company for 2020.
RESOLUTION (4) GENERAL MANDATE
The Directors have been granted a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares in the 2019 annual general meeting held on Friday, 9 August 2019. The general mandate would expire: (a) at the conclusion of the 2020 AGM of the Company; (b) at the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to hold its 2020 AGM; or (c) when revoked, varied or renewed by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever is the earliest.
As the existing general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2020 AGM, an ordinary resolution will therefore be proposed at the 2020 AGM that the Directors be granted a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares with the aggregate nominal value not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of passing the relevant resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 600,000,000 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the General Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the 2020 AGM, the Company will be allowed under the General Mandate to issue a maximum of 120,000,000 Shares.
Details of the aforesaid ordinary resolution are set out in ordinary resolution no. 4 in the notice of the 2020 AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
RESOLUTION (5) REPURCHASE MANDATE
The Directors have been granted a general unconditional mandate to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to a resolution of the Shareholders passed on Friday, 9 August 2019. The repurchase mandate would expire: (a) at the conclusion of the 2020 AGM of the Company; (b) at the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to hold its 2020 AGM; or (c) when revoked, varied or renewed by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is the earliest.
As the existing repurchase mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2020 AGM, an ordinary resolution will therefore be proposed at the 2020 AGM that the Directors be granted a general mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to purchase or repurchase Shares with the aggregate nominal value not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of passing the relevant resolution.
The Company had in issue an aggregate of 600,000,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolutions for the approval of the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the terms therein, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 60,000,000 Shares on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the 2020 AGM.
Details of the aforesaid ordinary resolution are set out in ordinary resolution no. 5 in the notice of the 2020 AGM.
An explanatory statement giving the particulars required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules in respect of the Repurchase Mandate to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision whether to vote for or against the resolution is set out Appendix I to this circular.
RESOLUTION (6) EXTENSION MANDATE

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
VOTING AT THE 2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, the resolutions to be considered and, if thought fit, approved at the 2020 AGM will be voted by way of poll by the Shareholders. An announcement on the poll results of the 2020 AGM will be made by the Company after the 2020 AGM, in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
RECOMMENDATION
At the 2020 AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve, among other matters, the granting of the General Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate; the re-election of retiring Directors and the re-appointment of Auditor. A special resolution will also be proposed to approve the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association.
The Directors believe that the proposed grant of the General Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate, the re-election of Directors, the re-appointment of the Auditor and the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors believe that an exercise of the General Mandate will enable the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for the Company. The Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be exercised when the Directors believe that such repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions to be proposed at the 2020 AGM.
CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS
The register of members of the Company for the 2020 AGM will be closed from Monday, 24 August 2020 to Friday, 28 August 2020, both days inclusive, during which no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to qualify for attending and voting at the 2020 AGM or any adjournment thereof, all transfers of Shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates and transfer forms must be lodged with the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 21 August 2020.

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This Appendix I is an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchases of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 600,000,000 Shares were in issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities to subscribe for the Shares.
Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date until the 2020 AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 600,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, could result in up to a maximum of 60,000,000 Shares being repurchased by the Company.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, may lead to enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or the 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. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms on which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
4. SOURCE OF FUNDS
The Company is empowered by the Articles of Association to repurchase its Shares. In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Cayman Companies Law, the Listing Rules and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, as the case may be.
– 12 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Cayman Companies Law and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, out of capital. The premium, if any, payable on repurchase must be provided for out of the profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to Cayman Companies Law and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, out of capital. The Shares so repurchased will be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorized share capital will not be reduced.
The Company may not repurchase its own shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange.
