LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE BUYBACK AND ISSUANCE MANDATES
On 14 October 2013, written resolutions were passed by the then shareholders of the Company for, among other matters, granting general mandates to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares (not exceeding 160,000,000 Shares) and to issue new Shares (not exceeding 320,000,000 Shares). Up to the Latest Practicable Date, such mandates have not been used and, if not used by the 2014 AGM, will lapse at the conclusion of the 2014 AGM.
Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the 2014 AGM to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:
-
(a) to purchase Shares, on the Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange, of an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the total nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. an aggregate nominal amount of Shares not exceeding US$16,600 (equivalent to 166,000,000 Shares) on the basis that the existing issued share capital of the Company of 1,660,000,000 Shares remains unchanged as at the date of the 2014 AGM) (the ‘‘Buyback Mandate’’);
-
(b) to allot, issue or deal with Shares of an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the total nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. an aggregate nominal amount of Shares not exceeding US$33,200 (equivalent to 332,000,000 Shares) on the basis that the existing issued share capital of the Company of 1,660,000,000 Shares remains unchanged as at the date of the 2014 AGM) (the ‘‘Issuance Mandate’’); and
-
(c) to extend the Issuance Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Buyback Mandate.
The Buyback Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the 2014 AGM or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in items 11 and 12 of the notice of the 2014 AGM as set out on pages 21 to 24 of this circular.
In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the 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 Buyback Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Buyback Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase any Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate or to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issuance Mandate.

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS
Pursuant to Articles 108 and 112 of the Articles of Association and according to the Directors’ wishes, all the existing seven Directors shall retire at the 2014 AGM and, being eligible, all of them will offer themselves for re-election at the 2014 AGM.
In accordance with Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders’ approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of the above seven Directors proposed to be reelected at the 2014 AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
4. 2014 AGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
The notice of the 2014 AGM is set out on pages 21 to 24 of this circular. At the 2014 AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the granting of the Buyback Mandate and the Issuance Mandate, the extension of the Issuance Mandate by the addition thereto of the nominal amount of Shares repurchased pursuant to the Buyback Mandate, and the re-election of the retiring Directors.
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, all the proposed resolutions will be put to vote by way of poll at the 2014 AGM.

Chairman

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
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 2014 AGM in relation to the granting of the Buyback Mandate.
1. REASONS FOR BUYBACK OF SHARES
The Directors believe that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
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 and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Buyback Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,660,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 11 of the notice of the 2014 AGM in respect of the granting of the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that the issued ordinary share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the 2014 AGM, i.e. being 1,660,000,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force, Shares of an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding US$16,600 (equivalent to 166,000,000 Shares), representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of Shares in issue as at the date of the 2014 AGM.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
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 December 2013) in the event that the Buyback 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 Buyback Mandate to such an extent as would, in the
– 7 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
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 befitting the Company.
5. TAKEOVERS CODE
If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback 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 a group of Shareholders acting in concert, 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Cross Mark Limited, WP X Asia Medical Devices Holdings Limited and Mr. Marc Chan (through Right Faith Holdings Limited and Amplewood Resources Limited, which are wholly owned by him) were interested in 547,061,863, 327,148,418 and 249,242,544 issued Shares respectively, representing approximately 32.96%, 19.71% and 15.01% of the total issued share capital of the Company respectively. On the basis that (i) the total issued share capital of the Company (being 1,660,000,000 Shares) remains unchanged as at the date of the 2014 AGM, and (ii) the shareholding interests of Cross Mark Limited (being 547,061,863 issued Shares), WP X Asia Medical Devices Holdings Limited (being 327,148,418 issued Shares) and Mr. Marc Chan (being 249,242,544 issued Shares) in the Company remain unchanged immediately after the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2014 AGM (presuming that apart from the decrease of the issued share capital arising from the said full exercise of the Buyback Mandate, there is no other change in the Company’s issued share capital), the shareholding interest of Cross Mark Limited, WP X Asia Medical Devices Holdings Limited and Mr. Marc Chan in the issued Shares would be increased to approximately 36.62%, 21.90% and 16.68% of the total issued share capital of the Company respectively. As far as the Directors are aware, no Shareholder, other than Cross Mark Limited, WP X Asia Medical Devices Holdings Limited and Mr. Marc Chan, owns interests of 10% or more in the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
In the opinion of the Directors, the above-mentioned increase of shareholdings may give rise to an obligation for Cross Mark Limited to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not have any present intention to exercise the proposed Buyback Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to such an obligation.
In addition, the Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase of its shares 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 propose to repurchase Shares, which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
– 8 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
6. GENERAL
None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback 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 Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES
The highest and lowest prices per Share per month since the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Month | Highest | Lowest |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2013 | ||
| November (since the Listing Date) | 4.00 | 3.10 |
| December | 3.90 | 3.45 |
| 2014 | ||
| January | 4.20 | 3.04 |
| February | 3.63 | 3.10 |
