Hong Kong, 13 November 2015

Notes:

  • (1) A Member entitled to attend and vote at the 2015 AGM convened by the above notice (“ Notice ”) or its adjourned meeting (as the case may be) is entitled to appoint one (or, if he/she/it holds two or more Shares, more than one) proxy to attend the 2015 AGM and, on a poll, vote on his/her/its behalf in accordance with the Articles of Association. A proxy need not be a Member.

  • (2) To be valid, a form of proxy, duly signed and completed together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a notarially certified copy thereof), must be lodged with the share registrar of the Company, Tricor Tengis Limited (“ Registrar ”), at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the 2015 AGM or its adjourned meeting (as the case may be) and in default, the proxy will not be treated as valid. Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude Members from attending in person and voting at the 2015 AGM or its adjourned meeting (as the case may be) should they so wish. In that case, the said form(s) of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

The contact phone number of the Registrar is (852) 2980 1333.

  • (3) To ascertain the entitlements to attend and vote at the 2015 AGM, Members must lodge the relevant transfer document(s) and share certificate(s) at the office of the Registrar no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 10 December 2015 for registration.

– 4 –

  • (4) Where there are joint registered holders of any Shares, any one of such joint holders may attend and vote at the 2015 AGM or its adjourned meeting (as the case may be), either in person or by proxy, in respect of such Shares as if he/she/it were solely entitled thereto. However, if more than one of such joint holders are present at the 2015 AGM or its adjourned meeting (as the case may be) personally or by proxy, then one of such holders so present whose name stands first in the Register of Members of the Company in respect of such Shares shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.

  • (5) Concerning agenda item 2 of the Notice,

  • (i) in accordance with Article 100 of the Articles of Association, Ms. Lam Wai Shan, Vanessa (an Executive Director) will retire from office as Director by rotation at the 2015 AGM and, being eligible, offer herself for re-election; and

  • (ii) in accordance with Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, details of Ms. Lam Wai Shan, Vanessa are set out in the section headed “Biographical Details of Directors” of the Report of the Directors of the 2014-2015 Annual Report of the Company (“ Annual Report ”).

  • (6) Concerning agenda item 3 of the Notice, the Board (which concurs with the audit committee of the Company) has recommended that subject to the approval of Members at the 2015 AGM, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu will be re-appointed the independent auditors of the Company for the year ending 31 July 2016 (“ Year 2016 ”). Members should note that in practice, independent auditors remuneration for the Year 2016 cannot be fixed at the 2015 AGM because such remuneration varies by reference to the scope and extent of the audit and other works which the independent auditor is being called upon to undertake in any given year. To enable the Company to charge the amount of such independent auditor’s remuneration as operating expenses for the Year 2016, Members’ approval to delegate the authority to the Board to fix the independent auditor’s remuneration for the Year 2016 is required, and is hereby sought, at the 2015 AGM.

  • (7) Details of the proposed Resolutions under agenda items 4 and 5 of the Notice are set out in the circular of the Company dated 13 November 2015 will be sent to Members together with the Annual Report.

  • (8) In compliance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, voting on all resolutions proposed in the Notice shall be decided by way of a poll at the 2015 AGM.

  • (9) If a tropical cyclone warning signal No. 8 or above is expected to be hoisted or a “black” rainstorm warning signal is expected to be in force at any time after 8:00 a.m. on the date of the 2015 AGM, the 2015 AGM will be postponed. The Company will post an announcement on the respective websites of the Company (www. crocodile.com.hk) and the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) to notify Members of the date, time and venue of the rescheduled 2015 AGM.

If a tropical cyclone warning signal No. 8 or above or a “black” rainstorm warning signal is lowered or cancelled at or before 8:00 a.m. on the date of the 2015 AGM and where conditions permit, the 2015 AGM will be held as scheduled. The 2015 AGM will be held as scheduled when an amber or red rainstorm warning signal is in force.

Having considered their own situations, Members should decide on their own whether they would attend the 2015 AGM under a bad weather condition and if they do so, they are advised to exercise care and caution.

As at the date of this announcement, the Board comprises five Executive Directors, namely Dr. Lam Kin Ming (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), Ms. Lam Wai Shan, Vanessa (Deputy Chief Executive Officer), Dr. Lam Kin Ngok, Peter, Mr. Lam Kin Hong, Matthew and Mr. Wan Edward Yee Hwa; one Non-executive Director, namely Ms. Lam Suk Ying, Diana; and three Independent Non-executive Directors, namely Messrs.
