LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board consists of six (6) Directors, namely Mr. Cheung Ka Ho, Mr. Cheung Ka Kei, Mr. Kan Yiu Pong, Mr. Chung Kong Mo JP , Ms. Wong Tsip Yue, Pauline and Mr. Wong Sui Chi.

Pursuant to Article 108 of the Articles, at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office, hence each Director (including those appointed for a specific term) will be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three (3) years at the annual general meeting, provided always that any Director appointed pursuant to Article 114 of the Articles shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation at such meeting. The Directors to retire in every year shall be those who have been longest in office since their last election but as between persons who became Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree between themselves) be determined by lot. The retiring Directors shall be eligible for re-election. Pursuant to Article 112 of the Articles, the Board shall have power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board. Any Director so appointed shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company (in the case of filling a casual vacancy) or until the next following annual general meeting of the Company (in the case of an addition to the Board), and shall then be eligible for reelection.

Pursuant to Article 108 of the Articles, Mr. Kan Yiu Pong and Mr. Wong Sui Chi shall retire from office by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Article 113 of the Articles provides that no person, other than a retiring Director, shall, unless recommended by the Board for election, be eligible for election to the office of Director at any general meeting, unless notice in writing of the intention to propose that person for election as a Director and notice in writing by that person of his willingness to be elected shall have been given to the Company during the period commencing no earlier than the day after the despatch of the notice of the general meeting appointed for such election and ending no later than seven (7) days prior to the date of such general meeting. Accordingly, if a Shareholder wishes to nominate a person to stand for election as a Director at the AGM, he should serve a notice in writing of his intention to propose such a person for election as a Director at the Head Office of the Company at “Unit F, 28/F, Block 2, Vigor Industrial Building, 49-53 Ta Chuen Ping Street, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong” (the “Head Office”) on or before 6 June 2016. Moreover, a notice in writing by the proposed director confirming his willingness to be elected as a director must also be validly served at the Head Office on or before 6 June 2016.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of any directors proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders’ approval at that relevant general meeting.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Brief biographical details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular. If a valid notice from a Shareholder to propose a person to stand for election as a Director at the AGM is received after the printing of this circular, the Company will issue a supplementary circular to inform the Shareholders of the details of the additional candidate proposed.

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SECURITIES AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 May 2015, ordinary resolutions were passed for the granting of general mandates to the Directors (i) to allot, issue or otherwise deal with additional shares of the Company up to 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at that date (“ Existing Issue Mandate ”), being 93,000,000 Shares; and (ii) to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at that date (“ Existing Repurchase Mandate ”), being 46,500,000 Shares.

The Existing Issue Mandate and the Existing Repurchase Mandate will expire upon the conclusion of the AGM. The Directors consider that the Existing Issue Mandate and the Existing Repurchase Mandate are in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Existing Issue Mandate enables the Company to raise additional capital of the Company from time to time. An exercise of The Existing Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/ or earnings per Share. Consequently, the Board recommends that these mandates be renewed by the Company at the forthcoming AGM.

New general mandate to allot, issue or otherwise deal with additional Shares of the Company up to 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing the resolution as set out in Resolution No. 5(A) of the AGM Notice will be proposed at the AGM. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the proposed mandate to issue Shares of the Company and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed under such mandate to issue a maximum of 93,000,000 Shares, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. In addition, a new general mandate to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing the resolution (“ Share Repurchase Mandate ”) as set out in Resolution No. 5(B) of the AGM Notice will also be proposed at the AGM. A resolution authorising the extension of the general mandate to the Directors to issue Shares to include the aggregate nominal amount of such Shares repurchased (if any) under the Share Repurchase Mandate is to be proposed as Resolution No. 5(C) of the AGM Notice at the AGM.

With reference to the proposed new general mandates, the Directors, as at the date hereof, wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares or repurchase Shares pursuant to the relevant mandates.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An explanatory statement containing the particulars required by the Listing Rules to enable the Shareholders to make an informed view on whether to vote for or against Resolution No. 5(B) to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

A copy of the 2015 annual report is despatched to the Shareholders together with this circular.

Accordingly, all resolutions set out in the AGM Notice will be put to vote by way of poll at the AGM. An announcement on the results of the vote by poll will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed ordinary resolutions for approval of the re-election of the retiring Directors, the grant of general mandates to issue Shares of the Company and repurchase Shares, and to add the aggregate nominal amount of Shares that may be repurchased to the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares that may be allotted pursuant to the general mandate to issue Shares of the Company are each in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and accordingly, recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed view on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of shares in issue was 465,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the proposed mandate to repurchase Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 46,500,000 Shares during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange. 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 earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors would exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and in circumstances where they consider that the Shares can be repurchased on the terms favourable to the Company. On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31st December, 2015, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up, if the general mandate to repurchase Shares was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, it may have an adverse impact on the working capital and gearing level of the Company.

The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to repurchase Shares to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements and gearing level of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements of the Company or the gearing level which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases to be made pursuant to the proposed mandate to repurchase Shares would be financed out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands and or any other applicable laws, as the case maybe. Such funds include, but are not limited to, profits available for distribution.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND REPURCHASE CODE

Upon the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interests in the voting rights of the Company increases, and such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Share Buy-backs Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interests, may become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

U Banquet (Cheung’s) Holdings
Company Limited
(“U Banquet (Cheung’s)”) 285,570,000 61.41 1 68.23

Notes:

  1. Mr. Cheung Ka Ho and Mr. Cheung Ka Kei, both Directors, are the beneficial owners of U Banquet (Cheung’s), being the holding company of the Company, and were therefore deemed to have an interest in the Shares which U Banquet (Cheung’s) was interested. In addition, Mr. Cheung Ka Ho held 3,718,750 Shares and Mr. Cheung Ka Kei held 3,281,250 Shares respectively.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, U Banquet (Cheung’s) is beneficially interested in 285,570,000 Shares, representing approximately 61.41% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Based on such interests in the Shares and in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Share Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the interests of U Banquet (Cheung’s) will be increased to approximately 68.23% of the total issued share capital of the Company, such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 and 32 of the Takeover Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in takeover obligation.

REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of share has been made by the Company during the last 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares.

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase any Shares in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
