CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on 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.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The health and safety of our Shareholders and staff are our top priority as we plan for the AGM. It is important that we continue to stay alert and help prevent the spread of the disease, and Shareholders are reminded to consider for themselves whether they should attend the AGM in person. The health risks posed by large scale gatherings should not be underestimated.

In order to protect attending Shareholders and staff of the Company from the risk of infection, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM:

  • Compulsory temperature checks will be conducted and mandatory health declaration will be required for every attending Shareholder, proxy or other attendee at the entrance to the building where the AGM will be held. Any person feeling unwell or with a body temperature over 37.4 degree Celsius will be denied entry into the meeting venue.

  • Any person who does not comply with the precautionary measures or is subject to any Hong Kong SAR Government prescribed quarantine may be denied entry into the meeting venue.

  • All attendees have to wear face masks within the meeting venue and throughout the AGM.

  • There will be no distribution of gifts and no refreshments will be served.

  • Appropriate seating spacing will be implemented to ensure safe distancing among attendees.

The Company also reminds Shareholders that attendance at the AGM in person is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. Shareholders may consider appointing the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the meeting as an alternative to attending the AGM in person.

The Company will watch out for updated guidelines and requirements from the Hong Kong SAR Government. In the event that the AGM has to be rescheduled due to the latest development of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shareholders will be notified of the revised date in the same manner as they would for a black rainstorm warning as set out in the notice of AGM.

Yours faithfully On behalf of the Board

Pacific Legend Group Limited John Warren McLennan Chairman and Executive Director

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

On the basis that 1,200,000,000 Shares are in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could result in up to 120,000,000 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period from the passing of resolution no. 5 set out in the AGM Notice up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by Shareholders in general meeting revoking, varying and renewing the Repurchase Mandate, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on 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.

3. FUNDING AND EFFECT OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association, the Articles, the Companies Law and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Companies Law, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 December 2020, being the date of its latest published audited financial statements. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an

– 7 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. UNDERTAKING OF DIRECTORS

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

5. INTENTION TO SELL SHARES

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates, has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register of members kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as was known to, or could be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, the Controlling Shareholders, namely, Double Lions Limited, Mr. John Warren McLennan, Ms. Tracy-Ann Fitzpatrick, Ms. Alison Siobhan Bailey, Mr. John Martin Rinderknecht and Mr. James Seymour Dickson Leach, together control 52.87% interest in the issued Shares. As a result, each of the Controlling Shareholders is deemed to be interested in such 634,500,000 Shares, representing 52.87% of the total number of the issued Shares, as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the ordinary resolution no. 5 to be proposed at the AGM, the aforesaid interests of the Controlling Shareholders, in the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date would be proportionally increased from 52.87% to approximately 58.75%.

In the view of this, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would not result in them becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25% of the total number of Shares in issue.

7. SHARE PURCHASED BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the previous six months.

8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON

No core connected person has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

9. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on GEM during each of 12 months preceding and up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Shares
