LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate. Conditional upon the above resolutions being passed, a separate resolution will be proposed to extend the Issue Mandate by adding to it the aggregate number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate. Details of these resolutions are contained in the AGM Notice.

Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued share capital of the Company is 15,555,354,248 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Issue Mandate on the date of passing the resolution approving the Issue Mandate will be 3,111,070,849 New Shares and the maximum number of New Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate on the date of the AGM will be 1,555,535,424 New Shares.

Save as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 29 July 2016 in relation to the possible subscription of the new shares of the Company to Soochow Securities (Hong Kong) Financial Holdings Limited, the Company did not have any plan for fund raising activities and to ultilise the Issue Mandate immediately after refreshment by the Shareholders at the AGM as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. REFRESHMENT OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed on 24 September 2012.

Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of Shares in respect of which share options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme. The Company may refresh the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at general meeting provided that:

  • (i) the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit so refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of approval of the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit; and

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) share options previously granted under any existing schemes (including share options outstanding, cancelled, or lapsed in accordance with the relevant scheme rules or exercised share options) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as refreshed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding share options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time.

The existing Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 8 September 2015, pursuant to which the Directors were authorised to grant options carrying rights to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 946,413,589 Shares, which represented 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of that meeting and 946,000,000 options were granted to certain eligible participants (as defined in the Share Option Scheme) on 18 September 2015 and 12 October 2015. Save as Mr. Ng Kwok Leung and Mr. Tam Tak Wah who are the executive directors of the Company, none of the Grantees, or any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), is a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company. On 29 January 2016, the aforesaid 946,000,000 options have been adjusted to 1,005,598,000 options due to the issue of bonus warrant of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are a total number of 1,005,598,000 options granted but unexercised.

Save as disclosed, there are no options under the Share Option Scheme or any other schemes of the Company granted which remain outstanding or unexercised as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued share capital of the Company is 15,555,354,248 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the number of issued share capital of the Company during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, upon approval of the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit by Shareholders, the Company may grant share options entitling holders thereof to subscribe for a total of 1,555,535,424 Shares (representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM approving the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any plan to grant options under the Share Option Scheme immediately after the approval of the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM.

The Company believes that the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit will allow the Company to achieve the purpose of the Share Option Scheme which is to provide incentive or reward to eligible participants for their contribution to, and continuing efforts to promote the interests of, the Company. The Directors consider that the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as it provides the Company with more flexibility in providing incentives to those eligible participants by way of granting of options.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional on:

  • (a) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the AGM; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, Shares (representing a maximum of 10% of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM approving the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit) which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of share options under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, Shares or New Shares (as the case may be) (representing a maximum of 10% of Shares or New Shares (as the case may be) in issue as at the date of the AGM approving the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit) which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of share options under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company.

4. REFRESHMENT OF SHARE AWARD SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company adopted the existing Share Award Scheme on 19 February 2016. Pursuant to the Listing Rules and the terms of the Share Award Scheme, the maximum number of Awarded Shares (as defined under the Share Award Scheme) must not exceed 1,261,820,125 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue on 19 February 2016.

The Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit was not refreshed since the adoption of the Share Award Scheme.

Subject to any early termination as may be determined by the Board, the Share Award Scheme shall be valid and effective for a term of 10 years commencing on its adoption date.

The eligible persons under the Share Award Scheme shall include (i) any eligible person, executives, officers, employees, directors of the Company or of any its subsidiary, (ii) any holder of any securities issued by any member of the Group or any controlling shareholder and (iii) any business or joint venture partner, contractor, agent or representative, any person provides research development or technological support or any advisory, consultancy, professional services to the business of the Group, any investor, vendor, supplier, developer or licensor, any customer, licensee, wholesaler, retailer, trader or distributor of goods or services of or to any member of the Group and other persons which have contributed or will contribute to the growth and development of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Get Nice Securities Limited, a licensed corporation under the SFO, is currently acting as the independent trustee for the Share Award Scheme. Under the Share Award Scheme, Shares may be acquired by the administration committee or the independent trustee at the cost of the Company by way of on-market purchase. Such Shares will be held in trust and will vest to the relevant selected eligible persons until the vesting criteria and conditions (if any) have been satisfied. No new shares will be issued under the Share Award Scheme.

The voting rights in respect of any Awarded Shares, which have been granted to relevant selected eligible persons, shall be exercised in accordance with the instructions of relevant selected eligible persons. Notwithstanding that the independent trustee is the legal holder of the Awarded Shares held upon trust pursuant to the trust deed, the independent trustee shall not exercise the voting rights attached to such Shares.

The Company may refresh the Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit at any time subject to prior Shareholders’ approval provided that:

  • (i) the Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit so refreshed must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the Shareholders’ approval of the refreshed Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit; and

  • (ii) Awarded Shares previously granted under the Share Award Scheme will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue or grant any Awarded Shares under the Share Award Scheme which would result in the total number of the Awarded Shares together with Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Share Options granted but yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme of the Company representing in aggregate over 30% of the Shares in issue as at the date of such grant (the “ 30% Aggregate Limit for the Share Option Scheme and the Share Award Scheme ”).

The previous Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit as at the date of adoption of the Share Award Scheme will be lapsed upon the refreshment in the coming AGM.

The Company will comply with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules when it proposes to grant any Awarded Shares to its connected persons.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Up to the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Shares were acquired from the market by the independent trustee since 19 February 2016 in accordance with the Share Award Scheme. No Shares have been granted to the Eligible Persons of the Group under the Share Award Scheme. Subsequent to the adoption of the Share Award Scheme in 19 February 2016, though no Awarded Shares have been granted under the Share Award Scheme, the number of Shares in issue has increased from 12,618,201,252 Shares to 15,555,354,248 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors consider that the Company should refresh the Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit so that the Company has greater flexibility to provide incentives to, and recognize the contributions of the Eligible Persons under the terms of the Share Award Scheme. The Directors consider that the Refreshment of the Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit is in line with the purpose of the Share Award Scheme and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 15,555,354,248 Shares in issue. Assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the AGM, upon refreshment of the Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the AGM, the Company may grant Awarded Shares up to a maximum number of 1,555,535,424 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of AGM. The total number of Shares which may be granted upon the “refreshed” Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit is 1,555,535,424 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any plan to grant Award Shares immediately after the approval of the refreshment of the Share Award Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM. The Company will not issue or grant any Awarded Shares under the Share Award Scheme which would result in exceeding the 30% Aggregate Limit for the Share Option Scheme and the Share Award Scheme.

5. RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued share capital of the Company is 15,555,354,248 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 1,555,535,424 New Shares, representing 10% of the New Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of the AGM.

2. SOURCE OF FUNDS

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Company’s constitutive documents and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated or otherwise established. Bermuda laws provide that funds used for a share repurchase may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution, or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium, if any, payable on a repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company before the Shares are repurchased.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions, and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2016, being the date of the latest published audited financial statements of the Company) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. SHARES PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares of the Company have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the last twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2015
August 0.260 0.170
September 0.255 0.188
October 0.240 0.196
November 0.202 0.173
December 0.216 0.123
2016
January 0.200 0.141
February 0.149 0.131
March 0.196 0.142
April 0.239 0.189
May 0.238 0.193
June 0.249 0.227
July 0.305 0.223
August (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.231 0.214

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

The Directors are not aware of any other consequences, which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.

– 12 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

To the best of the knowledge of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any 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 Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

9. REPURCHASES OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any Shares whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

10. GENERAL

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the company’s issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors do not intend to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
