CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM of the Stock Exchange (‘‘GEM’’) has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant the Directors the general mandates to issue Shares and to repurchase Shares.

2.1 General Mandate to Issue Shares

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate (i.e. the Issuance Mandate) to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares or underlying Shares of the Company (other than by way of rights or pursuant to a share option scheme of the Company or pursuant to any scrip dividend or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of whole or part of the dividends on Shares in accordance with the Articles of Association) or make or grant offers, agreements, share options and warrants which might require the exercise of such power, of up to 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of granting of the Issuance Mandate.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will further be proposed for extending the Issuance Mandate authorizing the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Details on the Repurchase Mandate are further elaborated below.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an aggregate of 4,289,724,633 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issuance Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 857,944,926 Shares under the Issuance Mandate.

2.2 General Mandate to Repurchase Shares

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate to repurchase Shares (i.e. the Repurchase Mandate) on the Stock Exchange of up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 428,972,463 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Issuance Mandate (including the extended Issuance Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issuance Mandate (including the extended Issuance Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate up to (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 the Articles of Association, the Companies Law, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Issuance Mandate (including the extended Issuance Mandate) or the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 99 of the Articles of Association, Mr. LAU Fai Lawrence (‘‘Mr. LAU’’) and Mr. CHAU Wai Wah Fred (‘‘Mr. CHAU’’) shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company (in the case of filling a casual vacancy) and will retire and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. Mr. LAU and Mr. CHAU were nominated by Board members for consideration by the nomination committee of the Company who then made recommendations for the Board’s consideration. The Board believes that Mr. LAU and Mr. CHAU should be elected as independent nonexecutive Director of the Company for their perspectives, skills, experience and diversity (including age, cultural and educational background, and length of service, etc.) that can be brought to the Board. Mr. LAU, aged 49, is a practising certified public accountant in Hong Kong, a fellow member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants in the United Kingdom and has extensive experience of serving as independent non-executive directors in other public companies, the securities of which are listed in Hong Kong whereas Mr. CHAU, aged 58, was formerly the Head of the Office of Dutiable Commodities Administration of Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department (C&ED), retiring with rank of Senior Superintendent, and has served the C&ED for 34 years with wide range of exposure, including intellectual property rights protection, etc.. Mr. LAU and Mr. CHAU provided the Board with annual confirmation that they met the independence criteria as set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules. The Board considers them to be independent. Mr. LAU has provided a confirmation to the Board that he had a good track record in attending the meetings of his directorships. The Board believes that Mr. LAU will still be able to devote sufficient time to the Board in the future, notwithstanding he is currently holding the seventh listed company directorship (including the independent non-executive directorship of the Company).

In accordance with Article 116 of the Articles of Association, Mr. CHAN Tung Mei and Dr. LIU Ta-pei will retire from office by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Information of these Directors required to be disclosed by the GEM Listing Rules is set out in Appendix II of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The resolutions to be proposed at the forthcoming AGM are set out in full in the notice of the AGM on pages 14 to 17 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular.

If you intend to appoint a proxy to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the proxy form and return it to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Standard Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM or any adjournments thereof if you so wish.

Pursuant to Rule 17.47(4) of the GEM Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, all resolutions set out in the notice of AGM will be voted by way of poll at the AGM. The Company will announce the results of poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.

5. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS

Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for consideration as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM for granting the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued Share capital of the Company comprised 4,289,724,633 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 428,972,463 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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 financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

6. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Articles of Association, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of 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 a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within that term’s meaning under 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders were interested in 5% or more of the issued Share capital of the Company. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and there is in change in the number of Shares held by them after the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, the interest of such Shareholders will be increased to approximately the percentage set out as follows:

					Approximate
					percentage of the
					shareholding if

Nevertheless, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances trigger off any potential consequences under the Takeovers Code.

Furthermore, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of any of the above Shareholders or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
