EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for approving the Shares Buy-back Mandate. This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

1. SHARES IN ISSUE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 300,000,000 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Shares Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued, bought back or cancelled during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Shares Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 30,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting. The Shares Buy-back Mandate will end on the earliest of the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company, the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the Articles of Association or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors have no present intention to buy back any Shares but consider that the ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value of the Company and/or its earning per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2018 (as disclosed in its latest audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018), the Directors consider that there would not be any material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed buy-back were to be carried out in full during the proposed buy-back period. In the circumstances, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Shares Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and the Articles of Association to buy back its Shares. In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and Articles of Association and laws of the Cayman Islands. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that payment for a share buy-back may only be made out of profits, share premium account or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose or subject to the Cayman Companies Law, out of capital of the Company. The amount of premium payable on buy-back of Shares may only be paid out of either or both of the profits or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or subject to the Cayman Companies Law, out of capital of the Company.

In addition, under the laws of the Cayman Islands, payment out of capital by a company for the purchase by a company of its own shares is unlawful unless immediately following the date on which the payment is proposed to be made, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the shares so bought back would be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital would not be reduced.

4. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined under the Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Shares Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

No core connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/ it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Shares Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Shares Buy-back Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

6. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

A buy-back of Shares by the Company may result in an increase in the proportionate interests of a substantial Shareholder in the voting rights of the Company, which could give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company and as recorded in the register required to be kept by the Company under Section 336 of the SFO, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Yang Peter Shun Tsing, an executive Director, together with Microware International Holdings Limited, a controlling Shareholder which is wholly owned by Mr. Yang Peter Shun Tsing, was beneficially interested in 198,446,000 Shares, representing approximately 66.15% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back the Shares pursuant to the Shares Buy-back Mandate which is proposed to be granted, the shareholding of Mr. Yang Peter Shun Tsing and his associates would be increased to approximately 73.50% of the then total number of Shares in issue and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors will not exercise the Shares Buy-back Mandate to such an extent that it would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

7. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not bought back any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
