LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting, including (i) the granting to the Directors of a general mandate to repurchase and issue securities; (ii) the extension of the Issue Mandate to include shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate; (iii) the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; (iv) the re-election of retiring Directors; and (v) the giving of notice of Annual General Meeting.

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SECURITIES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 5 September 2014, the Shareholders passed a resolution to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. It is therefore proposed that approval from the Shareholders be sought at the Annual General Meeting to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company and 10% of the outstanding Warrants, as at the date of passing such resolution. The Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting will lapse on the earlier of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting to be held in 2016; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable law to be held; and (c) the date on which the authority given to the Directors is revoked or varied by the Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, an explanatory statement is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide you with the information reasonably necessary for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE NEW SHARES

On 5 September 2014, the Directors were granted the 2014 AGM Issue Mandate authorising them to allot and issue Shares up to 20% of the then issued share capital of the Company. The 2014 AGM Issue Mandate was partly utilized by the Company for the placing of 847,015,679 Shares on 16 September 2014 to raise fund of approximately HK$73.44 million. The remaining 2014 AGM Issue Mandate of 4,000,000,000 Shares has not been utilized by the Company and will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

The Board proposes to seek an approval from the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting for the grant to the Directors of a general mandate to issue new Shares representing up to 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution in relation thereto. The Issue Mandate will lapse on the earlier of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting to be held in 2016; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable law to be held; and (c) the date on which the authority given to the Directors is revoked or varied by the Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors believe that granting of the general mandate to issue new Shares will provide the Group with flexibility to raise capital for the Group in order to capture any opportunity to carry out the fund raising activity as and when the Directors think fit and appropriate. The Board is of the view that the proposed granting of the general mandate to issue new Shares is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Two ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for (a) granting to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution and (b) the extension of the Issue Mandate to include shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

Based on 36,138,779,069 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Issue Mandate at the Annual General Meeting, and assuming that there shall be no further issue of new Shares or repurchase of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors will be authorised to allot and issue up to a limit of 7,227,755,813 Shares under the Issue Mandate, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution to approve the Issue Mandate.

REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 31 October 2013 and the Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed at the shareholders meeting held on 5 September 2014. Set out below is a table showing details of options granted under such refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit since adoption of the Share Option Scheme up to the Latest Practicable Date:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board also proposes to seek an approval from the Shareholders in relation to the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme up to 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting. Under the current limit of the Share Option Scheme, the Directors were authorised to grant options to subscribe for up to 2,423,507,839 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the annual general meeting of the Company held on 5 September 2014 at which the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme was approved. Since the approval of the current Scheme Mandate Limit on 5 September 2014 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has granted a total of 200,000,000 options and 2,223,507,839 options under the Share Option Scheme on 29 December 2014 and 22 April 2015 respectively. On 22 May 2015, 2,223,507,839 options granted on 22 April 2015 were surrendered by the respective grantees and accordingly cancelled by the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Scheme Mandate Limit has been fully utilized.

In order to provide the Company with greater flexibility in granting share options to eligible persons (including employees and Directors) of the Company under the Share Option Scheme as incentives to rewarding their contribution to the Company, the Board decided to seek an approval from the Shareholders in relation to the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme up to 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors consider that such refreshment of the 10% Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on 36,138,779,069 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are repurchased or issued and no share options are being exercised or granted prior to the Annual General Meeting, upon the approval of the refreshment of the 10% Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme, the Company will be authorised to grant options entitling the holders of the options to subscribe for a total of 3,613,877,906 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

No options may be granted if this will result in the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time. Save for the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option schemes as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (a) the Shareholders’ approval at the Annual General Meeting; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting an approval for the listing of and permission to deal in the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any options granted under the refreshed limit of the Share Option Scheme.

An application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for obtaining the approval mentioned in paragraph (b) above.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE 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 resolution for the Repurchase Mandate. This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

1. SHARE CAPITAL AND WARRANTS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was HK$361,387,790.69 divided into 36,138,779,069 Shares and the total number of outstanding Warrants was 4,883,067,153 units carrying the rights to subscribe up to HK$488,306,715.30 for 4,883,067,153 Shares at initial subscription price of HK$0.1 per Share in cash (subject to adjustments).

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased (whether generally or pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights attaching to the Warrants) prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company is entitled under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 3,613,877,906 Shares and a maximum of 488,306,715 units of Warrants.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole which enables the Company to repurchase securities on the Stock Exchange as and when required. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or the earnings per Share.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda and Hong Kong. The law of Bermuda provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account of the Company.

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2015 (being the latest published audited accounts) in the event that the power to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase 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.

4. SECURITIES PRICES

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

5. UNDERTAKING

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 repurchases of securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, have any present intention to sell securities to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

6. CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell securities to the Company or its subsidiaries, nor have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

7. EFFECT OF CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 Rule 32 of the Code. As a result, a Shareholder or 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as is known to the Directors, the following person was the Substantial Shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules):

Ms. Mak Siu Hang Viola 4,375,000,000 12.11%

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

Assuming that the Substantial Shareholder does not dispose or purchase any securities, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase securities in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate, the approximate percentage shareholdings of the Substantial Shareholder before and after such repurchase would be as follows:

Before After
Substantial Shareholder repurchase repurchase
Freeman Financial Corporation Limited 13.03% 14.48%
HEC Capital Limited 11.59% 12.88%
Ms. Mak Siu Hang Viola 12.11% 13.45%

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Code as a result of any repurchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent which will result in the public float to fall below 25% or such other minimum percentage prescribed by the Listing Rules from time to time.

8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries had repurchased any securities (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the last six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
