To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

THE PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE, RENEWAL OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES, RE-ELECTION AND RESIGNATION OF DIRECTORS AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 25 May 2016 in relation to the proposed Bonus Issue.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to: (i) provide you with further details in respect of the proposed Bonus Issue; (ii) provide you with details of the proposed Issue Mandate and the proposed Repurchase Mandate, (iii) set out an explanatory statement regarding the Repurchase Mandate, (iv) provide particulars of the Directors to be re-elected and (v) give you notice of the AGM.

PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE

The Company is pleased to announce that the Board has resolved to recommend the Bonus Issue, being a bonus issue of Shares on the basis of one (1) Bonus Share for every one (1) existing Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date, subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the AGM. The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid at par by way of capitalisation of an amount equal to the total par value of the Bonus Shares standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company. The terms of the Bonus Issue are set out below.

Basis of the Bonus Issue

Subject to the conditions as set out under the heading “Conditions of the Bonus Issue” below, the Bonus Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid at par on the basis of one (1) Bonus Shares for every one (1) existing Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date.

Assuming that there is no change to the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date, on the basis of 1,922,630,800 existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, 1,922,630,800 Bonus Shares will be issued representing 100% of the existing issued share capital as at the date hereof. After the completion of the Bonus Issue, there will be a total of 3,845,261,600 Shares in issue as enlarged by the Bonus Issue. The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid at par value by way of capitalisation of an amount of HK$769,052,320 in the share premium account of the Company pursuant to the Bonus Issue. The Bonus Shares, upon issue, will rank pari passu with the then existing Shares in all respects.

The exact total number of the Bonus Share to be issued under the Bonus Issue will not be capable of determination until the Record Date.

Adjustments to the Share Options

Implementation of the Bonus Issue will lead to adjustments to the subscription price and/or the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Share Options. As the exact number of the Bonus Shares will not be determined until the Record Date, the Company will make a further announcement for the adjustments to the Share Options and notify the respective holders of the Share Options regarding the adjustments to be made pursuant to the respective terms and conditions applicable to such Share Options.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM approving the Bonus Issue;

  • (ii) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares; and

  • (iii) compliance with the relevant legal procedures and requirements (if any) under the applicable laws of Bermuda and the bye-laws of the Company to effect the Bonus Issue.

Listing, dealings and share certificates for the Bonus Issues

Application has been made to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares. No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in, nor is listing or permission to deal in the securities of the Company being or proposed to be sought, on any other stock exchange.

It is expected that share certificates for the Bonus Shares will be posted by ordinary post on or before Thursday, 4 August 2016 upon fulfillment of all the conditions of the Bonus Issue at the risk of the Qualifying Shareholders to their respective addresses shown on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date. In the case of a joint holding, the share certificates for the Bonus Shares will be posted to the address of the person whose name stands first on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date.

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions as set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Bonus Issue” above, which include the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Bonus Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Bonus Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Bonus Issue, dealings in the Bonus Shares are expected to commence on Friday, 5 August 2016.

Overseas Shareholders

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is a constituent stock of Hang Seng Composite Midcap Index and therefore the Shares are eligible for southbound trading under the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect. Subject to compliance with the relevant laws or regulations in the PRC, the Bonus Shares will be offered to the Shareholders in the PRC who are Qualifying Shareholders and are holding the Shares through Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are Overseas Shareholders whose addresses in the register of members of the Company were situated in the PRC. The Company will continue to ascertain whether there are any other Overseas Shareholders on the Record Date.

The Company will make enquiry and, if necessary, seek legal advice(s) from overseas counsel(s) on the applicable procedural requirements for extending the Bonus Issue to the Overseas Shareholder(s). Upon such enquiry, if the Board is of the view that the exclusion of the Overseas Shareholder(s) is necessary or expedient on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place, the Bonus Shares will not be issued to those Overseas Shareholder(s), that is, the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. In such circumstances, arrangements will be made for the Bonus Shares, which would otherwise have been issued to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealings in the Bonus Shares commence. Any net proceeds of sale, after deduction of the related expenses, will be distributed in Hong Kong dollars to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, pro-rata to their respective shareholdings and remittances therefor will be posted to them, at their own risk, unless the amount falling to be distributed to any such persons is less than HK$100.00, in which case it will be retained for the benefit of the Company.

Status of the Bonus Shares and fractional entitlements

The Bonus Shares, upon issue, will rank pari passu with the then existing Shares in all respects, including the entitlement of receiving dividends and other distributions the record date for which falls on or after the date of allotment and issue of those Bonus Shares. There will not be any fractional entitlements to the Bonus Shares.

Reasons and Benefits for the Bonus Issue

The Board believes the Bonus Issue will enable the Shareholders to enjoy a pro-rata increase in the number of Shares being held in the Company without incurring any costs to the Shareholders, and may increase liquidity of the Shares by increasing the number of Shares held by the Shareholders.

The Board also believes that even the share price per Share on an ex-entitlement (or post Bonus Issue) basis might be reduced by the same proportion and the Bonus Issue will not have any change in the relative rights or proportionate interest of the Shareholders. By way of illustration only, based on the closing price of HK$10.62 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date, the theoretical share price per Share would be decreased to HK$5.31 had the Bonus Issue taken place.

In addition to and as a result of the above, as the bid-offer spread of the Shares will remain unchanged (that is, HK$0.01), the spread as a percentage of the Share price will be increased immediately after the Bonus Issue. Such may induce frequent traders as the profitability of a rise in a single “spread” is enhanced (provided that such frequent traders are willing to accept an increased potential loss of a fall in a single “spread”). However, the transaction cost (in terms of percentage of bid-offer spread to the Share price) may be increased, which may have a negative impact on the liquidity of the Shares. Given the above,

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Company considers that it is inconclusive as to whether the widened bid-offer spread in terms of percentage of Share price immediately after the Bonus Issue will, as a whole, have any positive or negative impact on the liquidity of the Shares.

Shareholders are advised to take note that the information mentioned in the above paragraphs is considered as forward looking that is based on management’s assumptions current beliefs and estimates that are subjects to risks, uncertainties and other factors in the market and under no circumstances shall it be considered as guarantee for future performance and therefore actual results may differ materially from those presented in this circular. Shareholders are further advised to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the advantages and disadvantages of the Bonus Issue.

The Board has also considered alternative method to achieve the above purposes, including sub-division of Shares. Having considered the administrative procedures to be involved, the insignificant expenses arising from the Bonus Issue, and that no odd lot will be arisen as a result of the Bonus Issue, the Directors consider that the Bonus Issue is more appropriate in achieving the abovementioned purposes taking into account the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES

The purposes of the general mandates were to enable the Directors to issue additional Shares and to repurchase Shares should the need arise. Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM for approval of, amongst others, the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate in order to give to the Directors new general mandates:

  • (i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing the proposed resolution at the AGM; and

  • (ii) to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing the proposed resolution at the AGM.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM to add to the Issue Mandate those Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue is 1,922,630,800 Shares. Accordingly, the exercise of the Issue Mandate in full would enable the Company to issue a maximum of 192,263,080 new Shares (assuming there is no change of the number of issued Shares after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the passing of the relevant resolution).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Listing Rules provide that, unless the Stock Exchange agrees otherwise, in the event the Issue Mandate is exercised and Shares are placed for cash consideration under the Issue Mandate, the issue price of the Shares may not be at a price which represents a discount of 20% or more to the benchmarked price of the Shares, such benchmarked price being the higher of:

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (i) the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the relevant placing agreement or other agreement involving the proposed issue of securities under the Issue Mandate; and

  • (ii) the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange in the 5 trading days immediately prior to the earlier of:

  • (a) the date of announcement of the placing or the proposed transaction or arrangement involving the proposed issue of Shares under the Issue Mandate;

  • (b) the date of the placing agreement or other agreement involving the proposed issue of Shares under the Issue Mandate; and

  • (c) the date on which the placing or subscription price is fixed.

In terms of price at which Shares may be issued at time of exercise of the Issue Mandate, the Company will comply with the then prevailing requirements under the Listing Rules.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the general mandates to issue Shares and to repurchase Shares of the Company. An explanatory statement containing information relating to the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION AND RESIGNATION OF DIRECTORS

It is proposed that, at the AGM, Mr. Alan Marnie, Mr. Dai Quanfa, Mr. Chau Shing Yim, David and Mr. Kan Chung Nin, Tony will retire by rotation in accordance with Bye-law 99.

Mr. Alan Marnie, Mr. Dai Quanfa, Mr. Chau Shing Yim, David and Mr. Kan Chung Nin, Tony, all being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election. The particulars of these Directors which are required to be disclosed by the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

As a result of recent disposals, CDH Fund IV, L.P. and its affiliates no longer have any investment in the Company. Mr. Xie Fang, being the Director nominated by CDH W-Tech Limited at the time of its investment to join the Board, has tendered his resignation as a non-executive Director and member of the audit committee of the Company with effect from the date following the date of the AGM. Mr. Xie Fang has confirmed that there is no disagreement with the Board and there are no other matters relating to his resignation that need to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company and the Stock Exchange.

Details of the service contracts of each of the Directors who proposes to continue as Directors after the AGM are set out in Appendix II of this circular.

By the order of the Board Man Wah Holdings Limited Wong Man Li Chairman

– 12 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix includes an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be presented to Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors.

1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

2. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws of the Company and the laws of Bermuda. Such repurchases may only be effected out of the capital paid up thereon or out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purposes of the repurchase. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company or out of funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company’s share premium account before the shares are repurchased.

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2016 (being the date to which the latest audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company in the event the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.

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 of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,922,630,800 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions to approve the general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the repurchase proposal to repurchase a maximum of 192,263,080 Shares.

– 13 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earning per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Bermuda and in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws of the Company.

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a 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. As a result, a shareholder or a 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, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Wong Man Li, the chairman and an executive Director of the Company, was interested in 1,217,694,400 Shares, representing approximately 63.33% of the issued share capital of the Company, through Man Wah Investments Limited, a substantial shareholder of the Company which was interested in 1,216,480,800 Shares, representing approximately 63.27% of the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and on the assumption that no further shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the shareholding interest of Mr. Wong would increase to approximately 70.37% of the issued share capital of the Company and the shareholding interest of Man Wah Investments Limited would increase to approximately 70.30% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase is not expected to give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase shares to such an extent which would result in less than 25% of the Shares being held by the public.
