LETTER FROM THE BOARD
4. REFRESHMENT OF THE 10% SHARE OPTION SCHEME LIMIT
The Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 6 June 2017. Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force.
Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Share Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme, namely 135,504,759 Shares.
The Company may refresh again the Scheme Mandate Limit by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at general meeting provided that:
-
(a) the Scheme Mandate Limit so refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Shareholders’ approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit;
-
(b) share options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, or lapsed in accordance with the relevant scheme rules or exercised share options) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed; and
-
(c) the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Share Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time.
The existing Scheme Mandate Limit under the Share Option Scheme is 135,504,759 Shares, being 10% of the Shares in issue as at 6 June 2017, the date of approval of existing Scheme Mandate Limit. Since 6 June 2017 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, no Share Options have been granted, outstanding, and cancelled or lapsed under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit.
If the further refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is approved at the AGM, based on the 2,032,571,385 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Company may grant further options carrying rights to subscribe for up to a total of 203,257,138 Shares under the Share Option Scheme (representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM).
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no share option granted by the Company under the Share Option Scheme that remains outstanding. Assuming that the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will be approved the number of Shares that may be issued under the Share Options Scheme will be in aggregate of 203,257,138 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date and is within the 30% limit in issue from time to time as required under the Share Option Scheme.
The Board considers that further refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole as it can allow the Company to be more flexible in providing incentives or rewards to eligible participants for their contribution to the Group and/ or enable the Group to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group. The granting of Share Options to the employees of the Group will not affect the Group’s cash flow but will help the Company to retain and/or recruits employees and to provide them with a direct economic interest in attaining the long term business objectives of the Company. To enable the Company to grant further Share Options to the Group’s employees, the Board proposes to seek the Shareholders’ approval to further refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM.
The further refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing of the necessary resolution to approve the further refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit by the Shareholders at the AGM; and
-
(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, such number of Shares representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM, which may be issued pursuant to exercise of Share Options to be granted under the further refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.
Application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be listed by the Company (representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM) which may be issued pursuant to exercise of Share Options to be granted under the further refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the new Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was 2,032,571,385 fully paid-up Shares.
Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the new Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to 203,257,138 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, during the period from the date of resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Bye-laws to be held; and (iii) its revocation or variation by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may apply funds legally available for such purpose from distributable profit or funds from a new issue in accordance with the Bye-laws and law of Bermuda.
That is to say, any repurchase of Shares may be purchased out of capital paid up on the repurchased Shares or the profits of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend and, in the case of any premium payable on such repurchase, out of profits of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or from the Company’s share premium account or its contributed surplus account.
– 11 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
On the basis of the combined net tangible assets of the Group as at 31 December 2017 and taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that no material adverse effect on the working capital and gearing position of the Group may result in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed purchase period.
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.
4. EFFECT ON THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If, as the result of a Share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. In certain circumstances, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest) could as a result of increase of its or their interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
Assuming that no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, on exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, the number of issued Shares will decrease from 2,032,571,385 to 1,829,314,247.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Super Fame Holdings Limited held 1,152,731,997 Shares, representing approximately 56.71% of the issued share capital of the Company.
The decrease of issued Shares resulted from the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate will cause the percentage shareholding of Super Fame Holdings Limited to increase to approximately 63.01%. Accordingly, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate. The Board currently has no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the extent which will trigger a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Company has no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the effect that it will result in the public float to fall below 25% or such other minimum percentage prescribed by the Listing Rules from time to time.

7. GENERAL

No Core Connected Person has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders.
