LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

Pursuant to the ordinary resolutions passed at the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 5 June 2019, the Directors were granted general mandates to issue new Shares and to repurchase existing Shares. Unless otherwise renewed, such general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

Two ordinary resolutions, ordinary resolutions numbered 4 and 6 in the AGM Notice, will be proposed at the AGM (i) to grant to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of ordinary resolution numbered 4 in the AGM Notice; and (ii) to extend such general mandate so granted to the Directors by adding thereto any Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of ordinary resolution numbered 6 in the AGM Notice.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue comprised 1,800,000,000 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the total number of Shares in issue between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Issue Mandate (if granted by the Shareholders at the AGM) will empower the Directors to allot, issue or otherwise deal in up to a maximum of 360,000,000 new Shares, being 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Details of the Issue Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate are respectively set out in ordinary resolutions numbered 4 and 6 in the AGM Notice.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors, details of which are set out in ordinary resolution numbered 5 in the AGM Notice. The Shares which may be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules to provide certain information regarding the Repurchase Mandate to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against ordinary resolution numbered 5 is set out in the Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were two executive Directors, namely Mr. Wan Man Keung and Mr. Leung Ka Wai; one non-executive Director, namely Mrs. Kan Wan Wai Yee Mavis; and three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Ng Chi Keung Alex, Mr. Cheng Sum Hing and Ms. Ng Ching Ying.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Article 108 of the Articles provides that notwithstanding any other provisions in the Articles, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every three years. Accordingly, Mr. Wan Man Keung and Mr. Ng Chi Keung Alex shall retire from office of Directors by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the AGM.

The nomination was made in accordance with the nomination policy of the Company and took into account a wide range of diversity perspectives, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of services, with due regard of the benefits of diversity as set out under the board diversity policy of the Company.

The Nomination Committee has considered Mr. Wan Man Keung’s extensive experience in the low-voltage electrical power distribution and control devices industry, his substantial experience in the overall strategic planning and daily management of the Group’s business development and operations and other experience and factors as set out in Appendix II to this circular. The Nomination Committee has also considered Mr. Ng Chi Keung Alex’s extensive experience in the engineering industry, his working profile and other experience and factors as set out in Appendix II to this circular. Having duly considered Mr. Wan Man Keung’s and Mr. Ng Chi Keung Alex’s qualifications, skills, experience, age, culture, ethnicity, gender, past contributions and all other relevant factors, the Nomination Committee is of the view that they continue to be suitable candidates to serve on the Board. The Board believes that their re-election as the Directors would be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Nomination Committee has assessed the independence of Mr. Ng Chi Keung Alex based on reviewing his annual written confirmation of independence to the Company pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that he remains independent.

Accordingly, the Board endorsed the recommendations of the Nomination Committee and recommended the retiring Directors, namely Mr. Wan Man Keung and Mr. Ng Chi Keung Alex to stand for re-election at the AGM. The retiring Directors abstained from voting on the recommendation on his own re-election throughout the nomination processes.

Further information about the Board’s composition and diversity as well as the attendance record at the meetings of the Board and/or its committees and the general meetings of the Directors (including the retiring Directors) are disclosed in the corporate governance report of the annual report.

The AGM Notice which contains, inter alia, ordinary resolutions for the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate and the proposed re-election of the Directors is set out on pages 18 to 22 of this circular.

Completion and return of the proxy form will not prevent you from subsequently attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) if you so wish and in such event, the proxy form shall be deemed to be revoked.

VOTING BY POLL AT THE AGM

In accordance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and the Articles, all resolutions set out in the AGM Notice will be vote on by poll at the AGM. Article 79 of the Articles provides that on a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every fully paid Share held by that Shareholder.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that (i) the granting of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate; (ii) the extension of the Issue Mandate; and (iii) the proposed re-election of Directors as set out in the AGM Notice are all in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors therefore recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions as set out in the AGM Notice.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant rules of the Listing Rules to provide requisite information to the Shareholders to consider the Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Share in issue was 1,800,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 180,000,000 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the Repurchase Mandate).

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the Companies Law and any other applicable laws. Such funds legally available for repurchasing Shares include:

  • (i) such funds made out of profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital; and

  • (ii) in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, such funds made out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

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 consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2019) in the event that the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the 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 appropriate for the Company.

6. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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.

Notes:

  1. Unique Best Limited is owned by WANs Limited, REM Enterprises Limited and REM Limited as to 85.14%, 13.33% and 1.53%, respectively. WANs Limited is wholly owned by WAN Union Limited (as trustee of the WAN Union Trust), while REM Enterprises Limited is wholly owned by Mr. Leung Ka Wai and REM Limited is wholly owned by Mr. Yu Chi Kwan. The WAN Union Trust is a discretionary family trust established by Mr. Wan Man Keung, Mr. Wun Chi Wai and Mr. Wun Chi Keung as settlors and WAN Union Limited as trustee which holds the entire interest in WANs Limited on trust for the benefits of Mr. Wan Man Keung, Mr. Wun Chi Wai and Mr. Wun Chi Keung, and their immediate family members. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Wan Man Keung and Mr. Wun Chi Wai, being the settlors and beneficiaries, and WAN Union Limited, being the trustee, are deemed to be interested in the Shares in which WANs Limited is interested. Mr. Wan Man Keung and Mr. Wun Chi Wai retain the control of the WAN Union Trust given the board of directors of WAN Union Limited comprises solely Mr. Wan Man Keung, Mr. Wun Chi Wai and Ms. Wun Tsz Ying (the daughter of Mr. Wun Chi Keung who was nominated by Mr. Wun Chi Keung). Further, Mr. Wan Man Keung, Mr. Wun Chi Wai and Mr. Leung Ka Wai have confirmed that they are parties acting in concert and are therefore deemed to be interested in the Shares held by the others. Hence, Mr. Wan Man Keung, Mr. Wun Chi Wai, Mr. Leung Ka Wai, WAN Union Limited, WANs Limited and REM Enterprises Limited are deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by Unique Best Limited.

  2. Ms. Lam Yin is the wife of Mr. Wan Man Keung and is deemed to be interested in the Shares which are interested by Mr. Wan Man Keung under the SFO.

  3. Ms. Emi Que is the wife of Mr. Wun Chi Wai and is deemed to be interested in the Shares which are interested by Mr. Wun Chi Wai under the SFO.

  4. Ms. Huang Xiao Ying is the wife of Mr. Leung Ka Wai and is deemed to be interested in the Shares which are interested by Mr. Leung Ka Wai under the SFO.

On the basis that no new Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM and assuming that there would not be changes in the issued share capital of the Company prior to the repurchase of the Shares and each of the Shareholders set out above would not dispose of their respective Shares nor acquire additional Shares prior to any repurchase of Shares, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) who will become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full.

– 13 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, cause any Shareholders or group of Shareholders acting in concert to become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
