APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
This explanatory statement contains the requisite information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules. Its purpose is to provide Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was 3,551,609,322 Shares of HK$0.05 each.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or bought back prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 355,160,932 Shares, being 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting during the period ending on the earlier of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held under the applicable laws or the Articles of Association; and (c) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACKS
The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors believe that the ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such buy-backs when they believe that such buy-backs would benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS
In making buy-backs, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Memorandum, Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not buy back Shares 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 in effect from time to time.
As compared with the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital position but not on the gearing position of the Company in the event that buy-backs of all the Shares, the subject of the Buy-back Mandate, were to be carried out in full at any time. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as could, in the circumstance, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
4. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders, to sell their Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
No core connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell his/her/its Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries or has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the proposed resolution in respect of the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Cayman Islands, Memorandum and Articles.
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wong Yeuk Hung, as the controlling Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested in 1,387,258,000 Shares, representing approximately 39.06% of the issued Shares, held directly by Global Universe International Holdings Limited. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back the Shares under the Buy-back Mandate, the attributable shareholding of Mr. Wong Yeuk Hung in the Company would be increased by 2% to approximately 43.4% of the issued share capital of the Company. In this regard, Mr. Wong, together with any party(ies) acting in concert with him, will be under an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

APPENDIX II
Set out below are details of the Directors who will retire at the AGM and being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.
Executive Director
Mr. Wong Yeuk Hung , aged 53, has been an executive Director and chairman of the Board since 9 March 2017 and was founder of the Group in 1992. He was responsible for strategic planning and overall management of the Group’s business from 1992 to 2014. He currently serves as a director of certain subsidiaries of the Company. He currently serves as a member of the committee of the Twelfth National People’s Congress of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, as a Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Fujian Associations, and as a Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Association for the Promotion of the Peaceful Reunification of China. Mr. Wong is currently pursuing a Master degree of Business Administration in the University of Science and Technology of China.
Mr. Wong is the elder brother of Mr. Huang Ruoqing and he is not related to any of the other directors or senior management of the Company. By virtue of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (the “SFO”), Mr. Wong is deemed to be interested in 1,387,258,000 shares of the Company (the “Shares”) held by Global Universe.
Mr. Wong gave testimony in relation to the trial of Mr. Lin Changyuan (林昌源) (“ Mr. Lin ”), a former chief of Youxi county (尤溪縣), Fujian Province. In 2008, Mr. Lin was prosecuted by Fujian Province Xiamen People’s Procuratorate (廈門市人民檢察院) for receiving bribes. Mr. Wong came to know Mr. Lin through a construction project of a section of a public road undertaken by 泉州市中恒 工程建設有限公司(Forever China (Quanzhou) Construction Co., Ltd.*), an independent third party, in Youxi county in 1997. Mr. Lin was the chief of Youxi county at the relevant time. Mr. Wong confirmed in his testimony that, he was asked by Mr. Lin to advance a sum in the amount of RMB200,000 for Mr. Lin to purchase a property and that he did not do so of his own initiative. Mr. Wong also confirmed in his testimony that he had asked Mr. Lin to repay the money on several occasions, and that Mr. Lin had, until early 2007, always indicated that he wanted to repay the said RMB200,000 and settle the matter. Mr. Lin submitted to the court that the amount of RMB200,000 obtained from Mr. Wong was a loan. In 2009, the court found that despite having ample funds at his disposal at all times to effect repayment, Mr. Lin never intended to repay the amount, and had a subjective intention to unlawfully usurp such money. The court found the reason for Mr. Lin’s defence insufficient and did not accept his defence. The court found Mr. Lin guilty of receiving bribes. As a result of such case, the Listing Committee had previously considered that Mr. Wong was not suitable to act as a Director before the Company’s initial listing and Mr. Wong resigned as a Director in January 2014.
Save as disclosed above, Mr. Wong has not held any directorship in any public company listed in Hong Kong or overseas in the past three years.
Mr. Wong entered into a service contract with the Company for a term of three years commencing from 9 March 2017 and such service contract may be terminated by not less than three months’ notice in writing served by either party on the other.
