The Board currently consists of eight Directors, namely Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil, Mr. Hung Cho Sing, Mr. Lam Kit Sun, Mr. Choi Wing Koon, Mr. Lam Chi Keung, Mr. Tang Yiu Wing, Mr. Chong Ki Ming and Mr. Wong Cheuk Wai, Jason.

Pursuant to Bye-Law 87(1) and Bye-Law 87(2), at each annual general meeting of the Company, not less than one third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. The retiring Director(s) shall be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil and Mr. Lam Kit Sun shall retire from office by rotation at the AGM. Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil and Mr. Lam Kit Sun, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

On 21st December 2017, Mr. Chong Ki Ming and Mr. Wong Cheuk Wai, Jason were appointed as additional independent non-executive Directors to the Board. Pursuant to Bye-Law 86(2), Mr. Chong Ki Ming and Mr. Wong Cheuk Wai, Jason shall retire from office and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Bye-Law 88 provides that no person, other than a retiring Director, shall, unless recommended by the Directors for election, be eligible for election to the office of Director at any general meeting, unless a notice in writing signed by a Shareholder (other than the person to be proposed) duly qualified to attend and vote at the meeting for which such notice is given of his intention to propose such person for election as a Director and also a notice in writing by that person of his willingness to be elected shall be lodged at the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong or the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong provided that the minimum length of the period, during which such notice(s) are given, shall be at least 7 days and that (if the notices are submitted after the dispatch of the notice of the general meeting appointed for such election) the period for lodgment of such notice(s) shall commence on the day after the dispatch of the notice of the general meeting appointed for such election and end no later than 7 days prior to the date of such general meeting.

If a valid notice from a Shareholder to propose a person to stand for election as a Director at the AGM is received after the printing of this circular, the Company will issue an announcement and/or a supplementary circular to inform Shareholders of the details of the additional candidate proposed.

3. PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES

Ordinary resolutions proposed at the 2017 AGM to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of up to 10% of the then total number of issued Shares on the date of passing such resolution (the “ 2017 Repurchased Mandate ”) and to extend the Proposed 2017 General Mandate (as defined below) by an amount representing the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the 2017 Repurchase Mandate were approved by the Shareholders. However, an ordinary resolution proposed at the 2017 AGM to approve the grant of new general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with Shares up to 20% of the total number of the then issued Shares (the “ Proposed 2017 General Mandate ”) was not approved by the Shareholders. For details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 21st December 2017.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Ordinary Resolutions will be proposed at the AGM providing that the Directors be granted the General Mandates. In addition, an Ordinary Resolution will also be proposed at the AGM providing that any Shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Mandate (up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the grant of the Share Repurchase Mandate) will be added to the total number of the Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Share Issue Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 906,632,276 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Share Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 90,663,227 Shares.

Each of the General Mandates will continue in force until whichever is the earliest 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 by any applicable law of Bermuda or the Bye-Laws to be held; or

  • (c) the date on which any such mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders is set out in Appendix II to this circular. The information in the explanatory statement provides you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant the Directors the Share Repurchase Mandate.

4. PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE 10% SCHEME LIMIT

Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options granted or to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company shall not exceed the 10% Scheme Limit. The Company may refresh the 10% Scheme Limit by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at general meeting provided that the 10% Scheme Limit so refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of Shareholders’ approval of the refreshment of the 10% Scheme Limit. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option scheme(s) of the Company (including options outstanding, cancelled, or lapsed or exercised in accordance with the relevant scheme rules) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as refreshed. Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding 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.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company may seek approval from the Shareholders in general meeting for refreshing the 10% Scheme Limit so that the total number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group shall be reset at 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the limit as “refreshed”. In this connection, options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including options outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the 10% Scheme Limit as “refreshed”.

The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme on 2nd December 2013. Subsequent to the adoption of the Share Option Scheme, the 10% Scheme Limit was refreshed on at the annual general meetings on 17th November 2014 (the “ 2014 Refreshment ”), 30th November 2015 (the “ 2015 Refreshment ”) and 30th November 2016. For further details of the aforesaid refreshments, please refer to the Company’s circulars dated 16th October 2014, 28th October 2015 and 30th October 2016. Save as disclosed, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force. An ordinary resolution proposed at the 2017 AGM to refresh the 10% Scheme Limit was not approved by the Shareholders.

The existing 10% Scheme Limit is 53,332,227 Shares, being 10% of the total number of the shares of the Company in issue as at 30th November 2016 (i.e. the date of the annual general meeting of the Company at which the refreshment of the existing 10% Scheme Limit was approved by the Shareholders).

During the period from 30th November 2016, being the date when the 10% Scheme Limit was last refreshed, and up to the Latest Practicable Date, Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for an aggregate of 53,330,000 Shares, representing approximately 9.99% of the issued Share as at 30th November 2016, had been granted under the existing 10% Scheme Limit, among which all 53,330,000 Options had been exercised.

In addition, Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 2,351,799 Shares granted under the 2014 Refreshment were lapsed on 29th September 2017; Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 3,361,006 Shares granted under the 2015 Refreshment were lapsed in July 2017 and Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 7,732,651 Shares granted under the 2015 Refreshment were lapsed on 3rd March 2018. Accordingly, there was no Option remained outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As disclosed above, the existing 10% Scheme Limit has been substantially utilised. If the 10% Scheme Limit is not refreshed, the Board can only grant further Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for less than approximately 0.001% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, under the existing 10% Scheme Limit.

The Directors consider that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to refresh the 10% Scheme Limit so as to provide the Company with greater flexibility in granting Options to eligible Participants under the Share Option Scheme and to provide such eligible Participants with incentive or rewards for their contributions to the Group. For these reasons, the Directors will propose the passing of an ordinary resolution at the AGM for “refreshing” the 10% Scheme Limit.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the note to Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules, unless approved by Shareholders in the manner set out in the note to Rule 17.03(4) of the Listing Rules, the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the Options granted to each Participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12-month period must not exceed 1% of the total number of the Shares in issue. Where any further grant of Options to a Participant would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Options granted and to be granted to such person (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such further grant representing in aggregate over 1% of the total number of the Shares in issue, such further grant must be separately approved by Shareholders in general meeting with such Participant and his close associates (or his associates if the Participant is a connected person) abstaining from voting.

On the basis of 906,632,276 Shares being in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that the issued Shares will not change prior to the AGM, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options that may be granted under the 10% Scheme Limit so refreshed is 90,663,227 Shares.

The proposed refreshment of the 10% Scheme Limit is conditional upon:

  • (a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the proposed refreshment of the 10% Scheme Limit; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, on the Stock Exchange, such number of Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of the AGM, which may fall to be allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme within the 10% Scheme Limit so refreshed.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, on the Stock Exchange, such number of Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of the AGM, which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme within the 10% Scheme Limit so refreshed.

5. AGM

At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to, inter alia:

  • (i) to receive and consider the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, the report of the Directors and the report of Crowe (HK) CPA Limited, the independent auditor of the Company (the “ Auditor ”), for the year ended 30th June 2018;

  • (ii) (a) re-elect Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil as executive Director;

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all the resolutions proposed at the AGM will be voted on by way of poll except where the chairman of the AGM, in good faith, decide to allow a resolution which relates purely to procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The chairman of the AGM will at the meeting demand, pursuant to Bye-Law 66(a), voting by way of poll on the Ordinary Resolutions. On a poll, subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any Shares by or in accordance with the Bye-Laws, every Shareholder present in person (or being a corporation, is present by a representative duly authorized), or by proxy shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he/she is the holder.

After closure of the AGM, the Company will publish an announcement in respect of the poll results on the websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.uih.com.hk) respectively.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide certain information to you for your consideration of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 906,632,276 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased following the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 90,663,227 Shares during the period ending on the earliest of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable law of Bermuda or the Bye-Laws to be held or when revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association, the Bye-Laws and the applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda.

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 30th June 2018) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact 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.

5. GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws and regulations of Hong Kong and Bermuda and the Company’s memorandum of association and the Bye-Laws.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) that such a person has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
