EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the general mandate for buy-backs of Shares to be proposed at the AGM.
1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR SHARES BUY-BACK
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The Listing Rules provide that all proposed share buy-backs by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction. Such authority may only continue in force during the period from the passing of the resolution until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the company; (ii) the expiry of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the company is required by law to be held; and (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by shareholders in general meeting of the company revoking or varying such mandate.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 480,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions granting to the Director a general mandate to buy back Shares up to an aggregate number of Shares not exceeding 10% of the number of issued Shares at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution (the “ Buy-back Mandate ”) and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back following the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to buy back Shares up to a limit of 48,000,000 Shares. The Shares bought back by the Company shall, subject to applicable law, be automatically cancelled upon such buy-back.
3. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy back Shares on the market. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-backs will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
– 9 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
4. FUNDING AND EFFECT OF BUY-BACKS
The Company is empowered by the Articles of Association to buy back its Shares. In buying back the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum of Association, the Articles of Association, the Companies Law and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, as the case may be.
Under the Listing Rules, a listed company may not buy back its own shares listed on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange as amended from time to time.
In accordance with the Companies Law, the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association, Shares may only be bought back out of the funds of the Company which are legally available for such purpose or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the purchase or, subject to a statutory test of solvency, out of capital. The premium, if any, payable on purchase 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 bought back or, subject to the statutory test of solvency, out of capital. Under the Companies Law, the Shares so bought back will be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital will not be reduced.
There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2019 in the event that the buy-backs were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back 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.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum of Association, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
6. TAKEOVER CODE CONSEQUENCE
If as a result of a share buy-back 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert 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, Hoi Lang Holdings Ltd. (“ Hoi Lang ”) held 360,000,000 Shares, representing 75% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue. Hoi Lang is owned as to 50% by Mr. Man Hoi Yuen and 30% by Ms. Ng Yuen Chun, both being the executive Directors. Therefore, Mr. Man and Ms. Ng are deemed, or taken to be, interested in all the Shares held by Hoi Lang for the purposes of the SFO. Based on such interests, in the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to buy back Shares which is proposed to be granted at the AGM, the interests in the aggregate number of Shares in issue would be increased from 75% to 83.33%.
The Directors are not aware of any consequence under the Takeovers Code as a result of a share buy-back made under the Buy-back Mandate and have no present intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent that the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
7. SHARE BOUGHT BACK BY THE COMPANY
During the previous six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date the Company did not buy back any Shares whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.
8. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), presently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Buy-back Mandate in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell any Shares, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them, to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
