CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized 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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Each of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate will expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the 2020 AGM; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting is required to be held under the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands or the GEM Listing

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2020 AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 800,000,000 Shares.
The Repurchase Mandate will enable the Directors to repurchase the Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution at the 2020 AGM. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the 2020 AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/ or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
Any repurchase by our Company may only be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association, the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position 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 March 2020) in the event that the 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 Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
– 8 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
5. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders at the 2020 AGM.
No core connected person has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the 2020 AGM.
6. DIRECTOR’S UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Delighting View, being the controlling shareholder of the Company, held 45.75% of the issued share capital of the Company. Delighting View is beneficially owned as to 85% by Mr. Tony Yuen and 15% by Ms. Pauline Yuen respectively and Mr. Tony Yuen and Ms. Pauline Yuen are parties acting in concert, each of Mr. Tony Yuen and Ms. Pauline Yuen is deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by Delighting View under the SFO. Ms. Pauline Yuen is the sister of Mr. Tony Yuen. Accordingly, each of Mr. Tony Yuen and Ms. Pauline Yuen is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Delighting View under the SFO. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the interests of Delighting View, Mr. Tony Yuen and Ms. Pauline Yuen in the Company would increase to approximate 50.8% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase may give rise to an obligation on the part of Delighting View to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in such takeover obligation. Besides, the Directors have no present intention to repurchase Shares to an extent which will result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
