LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to give you notice of the AGM and provide you with the information regarding the above resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against those resolutions.

ISSUE MANDATE

Given that the general mandate granted to the Directors to issue Shares pursuant to the written resolutions of the Shareholders dated 23 June 2017 will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors. Based on 1,080,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares will be issued and no Shares will be repurchased and cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Directors will be authorised to allot, issue and deal with up to a total of 216,000,000 Shares, being 20% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of the resolution in relation thereto if the Issue Mandate is granted at the AGM. The Issue Mandate, if granted at the AGM, will end at 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 to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; and (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

Given that the general mandate granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares pursuant to the written resolutions of the Shareholders dated 23 June 2017 will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and based on 1,080,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming that no further Shares will be issued and no Shares will be repurchased and cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 108,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of the resolution in relation thereto. The Repurchase Mandate, if granted at the AGM, will end at 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 to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; and (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by including the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were four executive Directors, namely Mr. Tang, Mr. Lee Sieng Poon, Mr. Yap Boon Teong and Ms. Wong Yuen Lee; and three INEDs, namely Mr. Fung Che Wai, Anthony, Mr. Chong Yew Hoong and Mr. Ng Hock Boon.

Article 83(3) of the Articles of Association provides that any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting of members after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Mr. Tang and Mr. Lee Sieng Poon, who were appointed as Directors on 10 November 2016 (date of incorporation of the Company) and were re-designated as Executive Directors by the Board on 22 March 2017, and Mr. Yap Boon Teong and Ms. Wong Yuen Lee, who were appointed as Executive Directors by the Board on 22 March 2017, and Mr. Fung Che Wai, Anthony, Mr. Chong Yew Hoong and Mr. Ng Hock Boon, who were appointed as INEDs by the Board on 8 June 2017 (collectively, the ‘‘Retiring Directors’’), will retire at the AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for reelection at the AGM.

The Nomination Committee had assessed and reviewed each of the INEDs’ annual written confirmation of independence based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that all of them, namely Mr. Fung Che Wai, Anthony, Mr. Chong Yew Hoong and Mr. Ng Hock Boon remain independent. In addition, the Nomination Committee had evaluated the performance of each of the Retiring Directors during the period from their respective appointment dates to 31 December 2017 and found their performance satisfactory. Therefore, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed that all of the Retiring Directors stand for re-election as Directors at the AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the Retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders at the AGM.

The biographical details of each of the Retiring Directors to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules.

AGM

The Company will convene the AGM at Seminar Room 03D, The Executive Centre, Level 3, Three Pacific Place, Admiralty, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 30 May 2018 at 10:00 a.m., at which resolutions will be proposed for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving, among

others, (i) the grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, (ii) the extension of the Issue Mandate to include Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate and (iii) the re-election of the Retiring Directors. The notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 19 to 24 of this circular.

A form of proxy for use in connection with the AGM is enclosed with this circular and can also be downloaded from the respective websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.spfood.com). If you are not able or do not intend to attend the AGM and wish to exercise your right as a Shareholder, please complete and sign the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the completed form of proxy to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible but in any event, not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or its adjournment (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude any Shareholder from attending and voting in person at the AGM or its adjournment should he/she/ it so wishes. If the Shareholder attends and votes at the AGM, the instrument appointing the proxy will be deemed to have been revoked.

VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the meeting, 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 to be proposed at the AGM and contained in the notice of the AGM will be voted by way of a poll by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules to be given to all Shareholders relating to the resolution to be proposed at the AGM granting the Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

1. SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

All proposed repurchase of shares on the Stock Exchange by the Company must be approved in advance by the Shareholders by an ordinary resolution of the Company, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval to the Directors.

2. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is prohibited from knowingly purchasing Shares on the Stock Exchange from a core connected person.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/ she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,080,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate, and assuming that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased and cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing such resolution at the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 108,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing the relevant resolution. The Repurchase Mandate will end on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; and (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

4. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on the market conditions and funding

– 16 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s funds legally available in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association for such purpose.

6. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company when compared with that as at 31 December 2017, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

7. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest market prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange since the Listing Date and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Traded Price (HK$) Traded Price (HK$)
Month Highest Lowest
2017
July (since the Listing Date) 1.730 0.495
August 0.600 0.440
September 0.455 0.355
October 0.395 0.335
November 0.350 0.270
December 0.375 0.275
2018
January 0.345 0.285
February 0.295 0.240
March 0.380 0.275
April (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) 0.305 0.260

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

8. DIRECTORS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates, has any present intention to sell to the Company or any member of the Group any of the Shares if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.

9. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

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

10. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, TYJ was beneficially interested in 567,000,000 Shares. TYJ is wholly-owned by Mr. Tang, an Executive Director and the Chairman. Accordingly, Mr. Tang is deemed to be interested in a total of 567,000,000 Shares, representing 52.50% of the total number of issued Shares, held by TYJ. In the event that the Directors will exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the proportionate shareholding interests in the Company held by Mr. Tang and TYJ would be increased to approximately 58.33% of the total number of the issued Shares and such increase will not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate. Assuming that there is no issue of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of a repurchase, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in whole or in a certain part will result in the aggregate amount of the issued Shares in the public hands falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25% as required by the Listing Rules. The Directors confirm that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent as may result in the amount of the Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the issued Shares.

11. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) since the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date.
