2. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK OF SHARES
The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Buy-back of Shares may, depending on the 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 buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACK
In buying back Shares, the Company will only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands which is ensured by internal resources of the Group.
4. IMPACT OF BUY-BACK
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2018) in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share 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.

| Month | Highest | Lowest |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2018 | ||

| May | 1.19 | 0.70 |
| June | 1.10 | 0.76 |
| July (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 1.00 | 0.72 |
6. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
7. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
8. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, 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.
