CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on Main Board of the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Share Options carrying the rights to subscribe for up to a total outstanding of 28,800,000 Shares, representing 4.8% of total issued share capital of 600,000,000 Share, have been granted under the Share Option Scheme. Unless the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit, only up to 31,200,000 Shares may be issued pursuant to the grant of further options under the Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 600,000,000 Shares and no Share Options have been exercised, cancelled or lapsed. Accordingly it is expected that, upon the approval of the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM, and on the assumption that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date to the AGM, the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution granting the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will be 600,000,000 and therefore, the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit under the AGM would be 60,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the number of shares in issue at the time of passing the resolution. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Share Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No share options shall be granted under any scheme(s) of the Company if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.

In order to provide the Company with greater flexibility in granting Share Options to eligible participants under the Share Option Scheme as incentives or rewards for their contributions to the Group, a resolution as set out in the notice of AGM will be proposed to seek Shareholders’ approval at the AGM to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution.

The Directors consider that it is in the best interest of the Company to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit to permit the grant of further share options under the Share Option Scheme so as to provide incentives to, and recognise the contributions of, the Group’s employees and other selected and eligible grantees.

The adoption of the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (a) the Shareholders passing an ordinary resolution to approve the Refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any options that may be granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the share options that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules to be given to all Shareholders relating to the resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorising the Repurchase Mandate.

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

1. SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

The GEM Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchase of securities by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 600,000,000 Shares were in issue and fully paid. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution for the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares will be issued or no Shares are repurchased and cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM of passing such resolution, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 60,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing the relevant resolution. The Repurchase Mandate will end on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention for any repurchase of Shares but are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchase of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchase may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, any repurchase would be funded entirely from the Company’s funds legally available in accordance with the applicable law and regulations of the Cayman Islands, the Articles of Associations and the memorandum of association of the Company for such purpose.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

5. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company when compared with that as at 31 December 2017, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the repurchase of Shares 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.

6. DIRECTORS AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, to sell any Share to the Company or its subsidiaries.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Core Connected Persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

7. 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 repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

8. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of the repurchase of the Shares by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increases will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

On the basis of the aforesaid increase of shareholding held by the Shareholders set out above, in the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate (if so approved), the shareholdings of Alpha Sense (BVI) in the Company would be increased to approximately 50.5% of the total issued share capital of the Company. If so, this may give rise to an obligation on Alpha Sense (BVI) to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in any takeover obligation. Save as the aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences of such repurchases of Shares that would result in any Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full.

The Directors will not repurchase the Shares on GEM if the repurchase would result in the number of the listed securities which are in the hands of the public falling below 25%, being the relevant minimum prescribed percentage for the Company as required by the Stock Exchange.

9. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) since 16 June 2017, being the Listing Date, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

10. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange since 16 June 2017, being the Listing Date, and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
