-
iii. All attendees will be required to wear surgical face masks at all times at the AGM venue (including while queuing for registration outside the AGM venue and throughout the AGM), and to maintain a safe distance between seats.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry of any person into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM.

Two ordinary resolutions, as set out in the notice of the AGM, will be proposed for the following purposes:-
Ordinary Resolution no. 5 — to grant to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution; and
Ordinary Resolution no. 7 — to increase the total number of issued Shares of the Company which the Directors may issue under the general mandate if given in the Ordinary Resolution no. 5 by the total number of issued Shares of the Company repurchased under the general mandate if given in the Ordinary Resolution no. 6.
These General Mandate and the extension of the General Mandate will expire on the earliest of (a) the date of the next annual general meeting; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or by the Articles of Association; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES
The Ordinary Resolution no. 6 as set out in the notice of the AGM will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase the Company’s fully paid up Existing Shares representing up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Existing Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.

Pursuant to Article 86(3) of the Articles of Association, a newly appointed Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next annual general meeting, and hence, Mr. LEE Jaeseong, Mr. IM Jonghak and Mr. LEUNG Yau Wan John (“ Mr. Leung ”) will hold office only until the AGM and are then eligible for re-election.
Pursuant to Article 87 of the Articles of Association, Ms. CHEN Dai (“ Ms. Chen ”) shall retire by rotation from office as director and being eligible, has offered herself for re-election in the AGM.
The nomination committee of the Company has assessed the independence of Mr. Leung and Ms. Chen, basing on reviewing their annual written confirmation of independence to the Company pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, and considered that Mr. Leung and Ms. Chen have met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and are not involved in the daily management and operation of the Company nor is he/she in any relationships or circumstance which would interfere with the exercise of his/her independent judgement. The Board affirms that Mr. Leung and Ms. Chen are independent.
Particulars of the aforesaid Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as the explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM for the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.
This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:—
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 145,017,062 Existing Shares which are fully paid.
Subject to the passing of the Ordinary Resolution no. 6 as set out in the notice of the AGM and on the basis that no further Existing Shares will be 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 14,501,706 Existing Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the date of the AGM.
REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any securities of the Company, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. 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 (where applicable) and/or earnings per share (where applicable) and will only be made when the Directors believe that the repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE
In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. Securities may only be repurchased out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of repurchase. The premium, if any, payable on repurchases must have been provided for out of the profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account before or at the time the securities are repurchased. The Company may not repurchase its securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
-
Note 1: HCMP SPC Ltd. held approximately 67.78% interest in Space Hong Kong Enterprise Limited. HCMP SPC Ltd. was a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary company of BSE CMP Value-up Private Equity Fund. BSE CMP Value-up Private Equity Fund was in turn a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary company of Cheon Ji In M Partners Co Ltd. By virtue of the SFO, each of HCMP SPC Ltd., BSE CMP Value-up Private Equity Fund and Cheon Ji In M Partners Co Ltd is deemed to be interested in these 43,134,137 Shares which Space Hong Kong Enterprise Limited has beneficial interest in.
-
Note 2: Park Kyung Hyun held approximately 96.2% interest in Onface Co., Limited. By virtue of the SFO, Park Kyung Hyun is deemed to be interested in these 24,169,510 Shares which Onface Co., Limited has beneficial interest in.
-
Note 3: Yang Xiaolian held 100% interest in Lucrezia Limited. By virtue of the SFO, Yang Xiaolian is deemed to be interested in these 9,003,076 Shares which Lucrezia Limited has beneficial interest in.
In the event that the Directors shall exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of the above Shareholders would be increased to approximately the respective percentages shown in the last column above. The percentage of voting rights at a general meeting of the Company held by Space Hong Kong Enterprise Limited, would increase to approximately 33.05% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such an increase of shareholding would give rise to an obligation for Space Hong Kong Enterprise Limited to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase made under the Repurchase Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or if the repurchase would result in less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company being held in public hands.
DIRECTORS’ DEALINGS
None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates presently intends to sell Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate in the event that such mandate as proposed in the Ordinary Resolution no. 6 is approved by the Shareholders.
CONNECTED PERSONS
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 such mandate as proposed in the Ordinary Resolution no. 6 is approved by the Shareholders.
