CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the 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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
This explanatory statement relates to the resolution proposed to be passed at the Annual General Meeting authorising the grant of the Repurchase Mandate. It contains all the information required under Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against such ordinary resolution.
(I) GEM LISTING RULES
The GEM Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on GEM to repurchase their Shares subject to certain restrictions.
Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the company’s constitutive documents and the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the company is incorporated or otherwise established. As such, any repurchases must be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Any premium payables on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares may be effected out of funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividends or distribution or out of the Company’s share premium account.
(II) REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing the Shares, they believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchase may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and Shareholders.
(III) SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,035,560,000 Shares.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, share options carrying rights to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 7,500,000 Shares remained outstanding. If the conversion rights attached to the said share options are exercised in full, 7,500,000 new Shares will be issued by the Company.
Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 303,556,000 Shares (assuming that there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting), representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Annual General Meeting. Assuming the conversion
– 8 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
rights attached to the aforementioned share options are exercised in full prior to the date of passing of the resolution and assuming also that there are no other changes in the issued ordinary share capital of the Company prior to the date of passing of the said resolution, the total number of Shares in issue will be 3,043,060,000 Shares and the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to 304,306,000 Shares.
(IV) IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
There might be an adverse impact on the working capitals or gearing positions of the Company as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the 2010 Annual Report in the event that the Repurchase Mandate be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such an 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.
(V) SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the GEM in each of the previous 12 months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Share Prices | ||
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2010 | ||
| March | 2.08 | 1.62 |
| April | 3.06 | 1.90 |
| May | 3.08 | 2.28 |
| June | 3.15 | 2.52 |
| July | 3.05 | 2.47 |
| August | 2.99 | 2.39 |
| September | 2.90 | 2.41 |
| October | 2.83 | 2.56 |
| November | 3.47 | 2.70 |
| December | 3.58 | 3.35 |

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
(VI) GENERAL INFORMATION
-
(a) None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.
-
(b) The Directors have undertaken to the GEM that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
-
(c) The Company has not notified by any connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or that they have undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
(VII) EFFECTS OF TAKEOVERS CODE
If the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, so far as the Directors are aware, the changes of the interests of the Shareholders who have interests of 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company or substantial shareholders of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date are set out in the following table:
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Shareholders | repurchase | repurchase |
| Golden Dice Co., Ltd. (Note 1) | 16.25% | 18.06% |
| Mr. Tsai Chi Yuan (Note 1) | 16.25% | 18.06% |
| Best Heaven Limited (Note 2) | 10.43% | 11.59% |
| Mr. Chu Chen Lin (Note 2) | 10.43% | 11.59% |
Notes:
-
Mr. Tsai Chi Yuan is deemed to be a substantial shareholder of the Company by virtue of his 100% beneficial interest in Golden Dice Co., Ltd..
-
Mr. Chu Chen Lin is deemed to be a substantial shareholder of the Company by virtue of his 100% beneficial interest in Best Heaven Limited.
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interests in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase may be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interests, 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 a group of Shareholders.
– 10 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
Based on the shareholding structure as illustrated in the above table, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of the above Shareholders in the Shares would be increased to approximately the respective percentages shown in the last column above and the Directors believe that such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Directors also consider that the exercise in full the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would not result in a public shareholdings of less than 25%, the prescribed minimum percentage of the Shares required by the GEM to be held by the public.
(VIII) SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) during the previous six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
