(4) NOTICE OF AGM
- INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with the information regarding certain resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to enable you to make decisions on whether to vote for or against these resolutions.
At the AGM, resolutions, amongst others, will be proposed for the Shareholders to approve (a) the General Mandate to issue shares, (b) the re-election of the retiring Directors and (c) change of auditors.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
The Company's existing general mandate to issue Shares was approved by its then Shareholders on 30 May 2024. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to issue Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Director a general mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the passing of the proposed resolution.
The General Mandate allows the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares only during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles or the laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.
The Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to grant the General Mandate to the Directors to enhance the flexibility of any possible fund raising or acquisition.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued shares was 626,353,184 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the General Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to allot, issue and otherwise deal with a maximum of 125,270,636 new Shares under the General Mandate, representing 20% of the number of issued shares as at the date of the AGM.
3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with 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 by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Mr. Tiu Ka Chun, Gary and Mr. Chau Shing Yim, David will retire from office as Director and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election as Director at the AGM.
In accordance with article 112 of the Articles, Mr. Lee Kam Hung Lawrence, Mr. Cui Song and Mr. Yang Huan shall retire at the annual general meeting and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the forthcoming annual general meeting.
The Nomination Committee had reviewed the annual confirmation of independence provided by each independent non-executive Director and was satisfied that each of them meets the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and that there were no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect their independent judgement.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Having reviewed the structure, size and composition of the Board, the confirmations given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's board diversity policy and nomination policy. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board on the re-election of all the retiring Directors who are due to retire at the AGM. In addition, the Board is of the view that they will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity.
As a good corporate governance practice, each of the retiring Directors abstained from deliberations and decisions on their own eligibility to stand for re-election at the relevant Nomination Committee and board meetings.
Details of the above retiring Directors who are subject to re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.
4. CHANGE OF AUDITOR
Messrs. PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PwC"), Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, has been holding office as auditor of the Company since 28 December 2018. The Board is of the view that, as a good corporate governance measure, the Company should consider rotation of its auditor after an appropriate period of time. Such rotation would enhance the independence of the external audit on the Company and would be in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. PwC will retire and will not seek for re-appointment as auditor of the Company upon expiration of its current term of office at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.
With the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, the Board resolved to propose at the Annual General Meeting a resolution to approve the appointment of Messrs. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu ("Deloitte"), Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, as the new auditor of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. Such proposed appointment is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
The Audit Committee has considered a number of factors when recommending Deloitte as the new auditor of the Company to the Board, including but not limited to (i) their experience in handling audit work for companies listed on the Stock Exchange, their industry knowledge and their familiarity with the requirements under the Listing Rules and relevant financial reporting standards; (ii) their resources allocation, quality and capability including but not limited to manpower, time and other resources allocation; (iii) their independence and objectivity; (iv) their audit fee; and (v) their market reputation.
Based on the above, the Audit Committee has assessed and considered that Deloitte is independent, competent and capable (including manpower, expertise, time and other resources) to perform a high-quality audit and is suitable to act as the new auditor of the Company. The
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Board has confirmed that there is no disagreement between PwC and the Company, and there are no other matters in respect of the proposed change of auditor that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to PwC for its professional and quality services rendered to the Company during the past years.
