LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Wu Hongyuan and Mr. Ng Kong Fat shall retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting.

Details of the Directors proposed for re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular. The re-election of these retiring Directors will be individually voted on by the Shareholders.

Pursuant to code provision A.5.5 of the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, where the board proposes a resolution to elect an individual as an independent non-executive director at the general meeting, it should set out in the circular (among others): (i) the process used for identifying the individual and why the board believes the individual should be elected and the reasons why it considers the individual to be independent; (ii) the perspectives, skills and experience that the individual can bring to the board; and (iii) how the individual contributes to diversity of the board.

In reviewing the structure, size and composition of the Board and in proposing individuals for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting, the Nomination Committee considered the Board diversity from a number of factors, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional and industry experience, skills, knowledge and time commitments. All Board appointments will be based on merit, and candidates will be considered against criteria including character and integrity, skills and experience as may be necessary for the operation of the Board as a whole, with a view to maintaining a sound balance of the Board’s composition.

The Nomination Committee has evaluated Mr. Ng Kong Fat against the selection criteria mentioned above and has considered his extensive professional and working experiences as set out in Appendix I to this circular. The Nomination Committee and the Board noted that Mr. Ng Kong Fat has over 20 years of experience in corporate, investment and financial management and was admitted as a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland in May 1987, which bring the appropriate professional qualifications and accounting and related financial management expertise to the Company and contribute to the diversity of the Board in the aspect of professional skills and qualifications. The Nomination Committee and the Board are of the view Mr. Ng Kong Fat possess the required character, integrity and experience to continuously fulfil his role as an independent non-executive Director effectively.

Mr. Ng has also demonstrated his ability to provide objective, independent and adequate point of views to the Company’s matters. In addition, Mr. Ng has declared his independence by submitting an annual written confirmation of independence to the Board pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee of the Company has assessed his independence and believes that Mr. Ng is independent from the Company and complies with the independence requirements of Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. To the best knowledge of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is not aware of any matters or events that may occur and affect the independence of Mr. Ng as an independent non-executive Director.

In view of the above, the Board believes that the re-election of Mr. Ng as an independent non-executive Director would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 505,263,177 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 4 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 505,263,177 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back, during the period in which the Share Buy-back Mandate remains in force (equivalent to 50,526,317 Shares, representing 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the Annual General Meeting).

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 2019) 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.

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.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

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.

The Directors do not anticipated that purchases of Shares under the Buy-back Mandate will give rise to any consequences under the Takeovers Code. Save as the aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Shareholders or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
