APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information as to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies to repurchase their shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such a company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such a company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of Repurchase Mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 1,016,001,301 Shares in issue.
Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 101,600,130 Shares.
3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Share repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset 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 its Shareholders.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases must be funded out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s constitution documents and Bermuda law, being capital paid up on the purchased Shares or out of the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company’s Share premium account. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from such sources.
There might be material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2010, being the date of its last audited Financial Statements), in the event that the
– 7 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would in the circumstances have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company.
5. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares of the Company were traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in each of the 12 calendar months immediately preceding the latest practicable date of this circular, were as follows:
| Highest | Lowest | |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| January 2010 | 0.255 | 0.181 |
| February 2010 | 0.226 | 0.194 |
| March 2010 | 0.230 | 0.189 |
| April 2010 | 0.380 | 0.184 |
| May 2010 | 0.340 | 0.205 |
| June 2010 | 0.240 | 0.197 |
| July 2010 | 0.335 | 0.198 |
| August 2010 | 0.325 | 0.260 |
| September 2010 | 0.290 | 0.260 |
| October 2010 | 0.290 | 0.255 |
| November 2010 | 0.295 | 0.260 |
| December 2010 | 0.295 | 0.275 |
| January 2011 (up to Latest Practicable Date) | 0.320 | 0.285 |
6. GENERAL
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will only exercise the power of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
The Company has not been notified by any connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) that such a person has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
– 8 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the interests of the Directors in the share capital of the Company are as follows:
| Number of ordinary Shares | Number of ordinary Shares | |
|---|---|---|
| Directors | Personal interests | Corporate interests |
| Wong King Ching, Helen | 200,000 | 280,000,000_(Note 1)_ |
| Wong King Man | 49,648,000_(Note 2)_ | 280,000,000_(Note 1)_ |
| Wong Chun Ying | 49,648,000_(Note 2)_ | – |
| Wong Kim Seong | 10,000,000 | – |
Notes:
-
As at the Latest Practicable Date, these shares were beneficially owned by Farnell Profits Limited, the entire issued share capital of which was previously held by the late Mr. Wong Choi Fung (“Mr. Wong”) and currently forms part of the estate of the late Mr. Wong. Ms. Wong King Ching, Helen and Ms. Wong King Man, Directors of the Company, are beneficiaries of the said estate, whose interest in the shares of Farnell Profits Limited is not yet ascertained until completion of the administration of estate of the late Mr. Wong.
-
Jointly held by Ms. Wong King Man and Ms. Wong Chun Ying.
Save as disclosed herein, as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors had any interest in the share capital of the Company which were required to be notified to the Company and the Stock Exchange pursuant to Part XV of the SFO or pursuant to the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Companies contained in the Listing Rules or which are required, pursuant to section 352 of the SFO, to be entered in the register referred to therein.
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 for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeover Code. Accordingly, 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 Takeover Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by, the Directors, the following person (not being a Director or the Chief Executive of the Company) was, directly or indirectly, interested in 10% or more of the nominal value of any class of share capital carrying rights to vote in all circumstances at general meetings of any member of the Group.
Name of shareholder
Number of ordinary Shares
Farnell Profits Limited
280,000,000
– 9 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
In the event that the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full, the respective percentage shareholdings of the substantial Shareholder and its associates before and after such repurchase would be as follows:
Before repurchase After repurchase
Farnell Profits Limited
27.6% 30.6%
Such an increase in percentage of shareholdings may give rise to Farnell Profits Limited to have an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Code, but will not reduce the proportion of Shares held by the public to less than 25%. The Directors do not propose or intend to repurchase shares which could result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of shares in public hands of 25%.
Save as disclosed above, the Directors currently are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Code as a result of any purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors do not have any present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate that will give rise to the implication of the Code.
During the six months immediately preceding the latest practicable date of this circular, there was no repurchase of Shares by the Company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise.
