EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE GENERAL REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorising the General Repurchase Mandate.

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date the issued and fully paid up share capital of the Company comprised 19,039,072,320 Shares.

Exercised in full of the General Repurchase Mandate, if so approved, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the approval of the General Repurchase Mandate, the Company would be allowed under the repurchase resolution to repurchase a maximum of 1,903,907,232 Shares during the period from the date on which such resolution is passed until the date of (i) 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 the Bye-laws or any application laws of Bermuda to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or removal of the General Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first, representing not more than 10% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any Shares, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the repurchase proposal would be beneficial to the Company and Shareholders. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a purchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases must be funded out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s constitutional documents and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated.

Repurchase of Shares will be funded from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities, and will, in any event, be made out of funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda. The Company is empowered by its Bye-laws to purchase its Shares. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or from the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend, or from the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the

APPENDIX I

purpose. The amount of premium payable on redemption may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of the Company’s share premium account or contributed surplus account.

On the basis of the current financial position of the Group as disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report and taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the General Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Group as compared with the position disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the General Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Group or the gearing level which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

4. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Price per Share
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2015
July 0.530 0.350

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell securities to the Company nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make purchases of Shares upon General Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. TAKEOVERS CODE

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE GENERAL REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

Notes:

  • (1) Long Grand Limited is legally and beneficially owned as to 70% by Mr. Yam Yu and as to 30% by Mr. Yuen Leong.

  • (2) Presuming that (i) the issued share capital of the Company remained at 19,039,072,320 Shares immediately before the full exercise of the General Repurchase Mandate; and (ii) the shareholdings of the controlling shareholder as set out in the above table remained unchanged immediately before the full exercise of the General Repurchase Mandate. On this basis, the total issued share capital of the Company immediately after the full exercise of the General Repurchase Mandate would be 17,135,165,088 Shares.

If the General Repurchase Mandate is exercise in full, the shareholding of Long Grand Limited will increase to approximately 75.21%. Such increase in shareholding will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the General Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would result in the number of shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

The Directors will exercise the powers conferred by the General Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares in circumstances, which they deem appropriate for the benefits of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

9. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
