CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET
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 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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX II
The following is an explanatory statement required by the GEM 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 resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 500,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the resolution set out in item 4(A) of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and assuming that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 500,000,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 50,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Repurchases 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 of the Company and/or earnings per share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
– 11 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX II
4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing positions of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2016) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase 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.
5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES
The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares were traded on the GEM during each of the previous 12 months up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Month | Highest | Lowest |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| May, 2016 | 0.435 | 0.405 |
| June, 2016 | 0.55 | 0.435 |
| July, 2016 | 1.05 | 0.46 |
| August, 2016 | 0.75 | 0.435 |
| September, 2016 | 0.64 | 0.53 |
| October, 2016 | 0.83 | 0.55 |
| November, 2016 | 0.82 | 0.65 |

| May, 2017 (up to and including | ||
| the Latest Practicable Date) | 2.02 | 1.27 |

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX II
6. GENERAL
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 GEM Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Share to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and exercised.
The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Share to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Share held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and exercised.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Share pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase 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 Shareholder’s 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.
To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. ZHANG Qiang, the controlling shareholder of the Company (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), was interested in 275,000,000 Shares representing 55% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholding of Mr. ZHANG Qiang would be increased to approximately 61.11% of the issued share capital of the Company.
– 13 –
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who will become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of the repurchase of Shares.
The Directors will use their best endeavours to ensure that the Share Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to such extent that the number of Shares held by the public will fall below the relevant minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange.
8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY
During the 6 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the GEM or otherwise).
