LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board proposes the refreshment of the Current General Mandate subject to the Independent Shareholders’ approval. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the SGM to the Independent Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the refreshment of the Current General Mandate.

The Board also proposes the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit subject to the approval of the Shareholders. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the SGM to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information relating to (i) the refreshment of the Current General Mandate to be proposed at the SGM; (ii) the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; (iii) the recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders on the refreshment of the Current General Mandate; (iv) the recommendation from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the proposed refreshment of the Current General Mandate; and (v) the notice of SGM.

CURRENT GENERAL MANDATE

At the AGM, the Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution for granting to the Directors the Current General Mandate to allot and issue not more than 377,970,780 Old Shares (equivalent to 37,797,078 Shares), being 20% of the entire issued share capital of the Company of 1,889,853,900 Old Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE CURRENT GENERAL MANDATE

The Company will convene the SGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Independent Shareholders that the Directors be granted the general mandate to allot and issue Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution at the SGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had an aggregate of 1,133,912,340 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for the approval of the refreshment of the Current General Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the SGM, the Company would be allowed to allot and issue up to 226,782,468 Shares, being 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The refreshed Current General Mandate will expire at the earliest of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or by the Bye-laws; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

REASONS FOR THE REFRESHMENT OF THE CURRENT GENERAL MANDATE

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and trading of cables and wires for use in household electrical appliances and electronic products, copper products and mining business.

As explained in the paragraph headed “Current General Mandate” above, the number of Shares in issue has been significantly increased since the grant of the Current General Mandate at the AGM.

In order to provide additional flexibility to allow the Company to grasp appropriate fund raising opportunities, the Board believes that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole by maintaining the financial flexibility necessary for the Group’s future business expansion and development as well as to cater for future funding requirement of the Group. The Board considers equity financing to be an important avenue of resources to the Group since it does not create any interest paying obligations on the Group. In appropriate circumstances, the Group will also consider other financing methods such as debt financing or internal cash resources to fund its future business development. Apart from the further investment in the new business of selling metallurgical grade bauxite where the Group started in August 2014 and which has already been disclosed in, among others, the announcement of the Company dated 13 August 2014 and the circular of the Company dated 9 March 2015, the Company has no particular future business expansion and development plan for the time being.

The Directors have no concrete plan for raising capital by issuing new Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, and there is currently no concrete proposal presented by potential investors for investment in the Shares. Nevertheless, the Board is now proposing to seek the approval of Independent Shareholders at the SGM for the refreshment of the Current General Mandate such that, should attractive terms for investment in the Shares become available from potential investors, the

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Board would be able to respond to the market promptly, as fund raising exercise pursuant to a general mandate provides the Company with a more simple and less lead time process than other types of fund raising exercises and can also avoid the uncertainties in such circumstances that specific mandate may not be obtained in a timely manner. The Directors consider that funding requirements or appropriate investment opportunities may or may not arise at any time prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company. If such opportunities arise prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company, decisions may have to be made within a limited period of time.

The Company has no current intention to utilise the refreshed Current General Mandate immediately after the refreshment and there will be no immediate dilution impact on the Shareholders. It is noted that the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Company is expected to be held in or around November 2015 and the refreshed Current General Mandate will allow the Company to have sufficient flexibility to grasp appropriate fund raising opportunities during this period. As such, the Directors consider that the proposed grant of refreshed Current General Mandate is justifiable.

If any potential investors offer attractive terms for investment in the Shares subject to the then market conditions, the Directors will consider and may conduct an equity fund raising exercise by issuing new Shares, the proceeds of which may be used as general working capital and/or supporting the Group’s future business development. Announcement(s) will be made by the Company in the event any concrete fund raising plan arises as and when appropriate. There has not been any refreshment of the Current General Mandate since the AGM.

In view of the above, the Directors consider that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee which comprises Mr. Chung Kam Kwong, Mr. Lo Wai Ming and Mr. Lo Chao Ming, all being the independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on the refreshment of the Current General Mandate.

Nuada Limited has been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the refreshment of the Current General Mandate.

The Independent Board Committee and the Directors, having taken into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser, consider that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and accordingly recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution which will be proposed at the SGM for approving the refreshment of the Current General Mandate.

The text of the letter from the Independent Board Committee is set out on page 12 of this circular and the text of the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser containing its advice is set out on pages 13 to 20 of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

Under the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon the exercise of all Share Options shall not initially in aggregate exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme and thereafter, if refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit by the Shareholders.

The Share Option Scheme was adopted by way of Shareholders’ resolution on 18 December 2012. Accordingly, the Scheme Mandate Limit would be 18,898,539 Shares which is equivalent to 188,985,390 Old Shares prior to the Capital Reorganisation, being 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 19 November 2014.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not yet granted any Share Options under the Share Option Scheme. The current Scheme Mandate Limit is 18,898,539 Shares, representing only approximately 1.67% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. While the Company has no current intention to grant any Share Options under the Share Option Scheme immediately after the refreshment and has not granted any Share Options as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company may grant Share Options in future to reward and motivate its employees and other selected participants under the Share Option Scheme. The proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will therefore allow the Company to have sufficient mandate limit to grant Share Options in future. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in compliance with the Listing Rules in the event that the Company will grant any Share Options.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 1,133,912,340 Shares in issue. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all the options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed should be 113,391,234 Shares, being 10% of the Shares in issue and assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares during the period between the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the SGM.

The proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (1) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM to approve the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and

  • (2) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Share Options granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the SGM, which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of the Share Options that may be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole because it enables the Company to reward and motivate its employees and other selected participants under the Share Option Scheme. The renewal of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in line with the purpose of the Share Option Scheme.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION IN RESPECT OF THE PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

At the AGM, the Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution for granting to the Directors the Current General Mandate to allot and issue not more than 377,970,780 Old Shares (equivalent to 37,797,078 Shares), being 20% of the entire issued share capital of the Company of 1,889,853,900 Old Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue has been increased from 188,985,390 Shares to 1,133,912,340 Shares after the issue and allotment of the new offer Shares of the Open Offer, details of which are set out in the Company’s announcement dated 6 February 2015, 1 April 2015 and 7 May 2015 respectively and the prospectus of the Company dated 16 April 2015.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the refreshment of the Current General Mandate, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

(i) Background information of the refreshment of the Current General Mandate

The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of cables and wires for use in household electrical appliances and electronic products, copper products and mining business.

The Directors were authorised to allot and issue up to 377,970,780 Old Shares (equivalent to 37,797,078 Shares) under the Current General Mandate which was granted to the Directors at the AGM.

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 6 February 2015, 1 April 2015 and 7 May 2015 respectively and the prospectus of the Company dated 16 April 2015 in relation, among others, the Open Offer. On 7 May 2015, a total of 944,926,950 offer Shares were allotted and issued by way of the Open Offer.

After the issue and allotment of the aforesaid number of offer Shares of the Open Offer, the total number of Shares in issue has been increased from 188,985,390 Shares to 1,133,912,340 Shares. Although the Current General Mandate have not been utilised as at the Latest Practicable Date, the maximum number of the Share that can be allotted and issued under the Current General Mandate only represent approximately 3.3 percentage of the issued shares of the Company as enlarged by the Open Offer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Board proposes to seek approval of the Independent Shareholders for the proposed the refreshment of the Current General Mandate such that the Directors will be granted the authority to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the relevant resolution at the SGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 1,133,912,340 Shares in issue. On the basis that no Share would be issued be/or repurchased by the Company, no share option of the Company would be exercised from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the SGM, the refreshment of the Current General Mandate would allow the Directors to allot, issue and deal with up 226,782,468 new Shares, representing 20% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the SGM.

(ii) Reasons for the proposed refreshment of the Current General Mandate

With reference to the Board Letter, the Board would like to provide flexibility for the Company to raise funds for its future business development and/or opportunities to be identified by the Company through equity financing. Given that equity financing (i) does not incur any interest expenses on the Group as compared with bank financing; (ii) is less costly and time-consuming than raising funds by way of rights issue or open offer; and (iii) provides the Company with the capability to capture any capital raising and/or prospective investment opportunity as and when its arises, the Board proposes to refresh the Current General Mandate for the Directors to allot, issue and deal with new Shares with an aggregate nominal amount of not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the SGM.

As confirmed by the Directors, the Group’s core business is manufacturing and trading of cables and wires for use in household electrical appliances and electronic products, copper products and mining business. According to the Company’s interim report for the six months period ended 31 December 2014, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$410.90 million (six months ended 31 December 2013: approximately HK$402.82 million) for the six months ended 31 December 2014, of which turnover from (i) sales of cables and wires amounted to approximately HK$110.88 million (six months ended 31 December 2013: approximately HK$108.95 million); (ii) sales of copper rods amounted to approximately HK$203.52 million (six months ended 31 December 2013: approximately HK$280.69 million); and (iii) sales of others goods amounted to approximately HK$96.5 million (six months ended 31 December 2013: approximately HK$13.18 million). Accordingly, the increase in turnover for the six months period ended 31 December 2014 as compared to the previous corresponding period was mainly due to the increase in turnover of other business, include (i) the increase in the sale of biodiesel (six months ended 31 December 2014: approximately HK$20.41 million; six months ended 31 December 2013: approximately HK$13.18 million) and (ii) the turnover from the new business of selling metallurgical grade bauxite (six months ended 31 December 2014: approximately HK$75.79 million; six months ended 31 December 2013: nil ). For the six months ended 31 December 2014, the Group recorded a loss for the period approximately HK$78.26 million (six months ended 31 December 2013: loss of approximately HK$18.39 million). In addition to the loss from operation recorded for the six months ended 31 December 2014, the Group recorded net cash outflow of approximately HK$139.98 million for the six months ended 31 December 2014 with monthly average net cash outflow of approximately HK$23.33 million. According to the management, apart from the further investment in the new business of selling metallurgical grade bauxite (where the Group started the aforesaid business in August 2014, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 13 August 2014 and Company’s circular dated 9 March 2015 for the detailed information of the use of proceeds from the Company’s previous funding raising exercise), the Company has no particular future business expansion and development plan for the time being and the Company did

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

not have any plan to utilise the refreshed Current General Mandate as at the Latest Practicable Date. It is noted that the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Company is expected to be held in or around November 2015 and the refreshed Current General Mandate will allow the Company to have sufficient flexibility to grasp appropriate fund raising opportunities during this period. As such, the Directors consider that the proposed refreshment of Current General Mandate is justifiable. Based on the above, there is no immediately dilution impact on the Shareholders.

As stated in the paragraph headed “(i) Background information of the refreshment of the Current General Mandate” above ,the Shares that are available to be allotted or issued under the Current General Mandate is 37,797,078 Shares, which represent approximately 3.3% of the issued Shares of the Company as enlarged by the Open Offer. The Board believes that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole by maintaining the financial flexibility. Considering the date of the next AGM of the Company will probably be held in November 2015, after discussion with the management of the Company and according to the date of the Company’s last annual general meeting, to approve the refreshment of the Current General Mandate will provide the Company an additional option, but not obligation, means to raise fund (Please refer to the paragraph headed “(iv) Flexibility in financing” below for detailed information).

Given the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate would provide the Company with the necessary flexibility to fulfil any possible funding needs for business operation and/or investment decisions. Accordingly, we are of the view that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(iii) Fund raising activities in the past twelve months

Set out below are the fund raising activities announced by the Company in the past twelve months prior to the Latest Practicable Date:

Date of Fund raising Net proceeds raised Proposed use Actual use of the
announcement activity (approximately) of proceeds net proceeds

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the management of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the aforesaid proceeds from the open offer as stated above table have not been utilised. We are of the view and concur with the view of the management of the Company that as the aforesaid proceeds are earmarked for the intended use as stated above, we are of the view that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate can provide the Company an alternative fund raising methods and Directors confirmed that they would exercise due and careful consideration when choosing the best financing method available to the Group (please refer to the paragraph headed “Other financing alternatives” below for detailed information). Based on the above, we are of the view and concur with the view of the Directors that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate is justifiable.

(iv) Flexibility in financing

As advised by the Directors, the Group does not obviate the possibilities of further issuing capital should there be investor(s) indicating interest in the business of the Company in the future although there were no such investors as at the Latest Practicable Date. As further advised by the Directors, the Company did not have any plan to utilise the refreshed Current General Mandate as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Although the Company did not have any plan to utilise the refreshed Current General Mandate as at the Latest Practicable Date as discussed in the paragraph headed “(ii) Reasons for the proposed refreshment of the Current General Mandate” above, we consider that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate would provide the Company with the necessary flexibility to fulfil any possible funding needs for future business development and/or investment decisions and the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Company is expected to be held in or around November 2015, which is approximately 6 months from the Latest Practicable Date and the refreshed Current General Mandate will allow the Company to have sufficient flexibility to grasp appropriate fund raising opportunities during this period. The refreshment of the Current General Mandate would provide the Company with the flexibility as allowed under the Listing Rules to allot and issue new Shares for equity fund raising activities, such as placing of new Shares, or as consideration for potential investments in the future as and when such opportunities arise. Furthermore, the additional amount of equity which may be raised after the refreshment of the Current General Mandate would provide the Group with more financing options when assessing and negotiating potential investments in a timely manner. Given the financial flexibility available to the Company as discussed above, we are of the opinion that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(v) Other financing alternatives

We have enquired into the Directors and the Directors confirmed that apart from equity financing, the Group will also consider debt financing, such as bank borrowings, to be other possible fund raising alternatives available to the Group. However, the Directors are of the view that the ability of the Group to obtain bank borrowings usually depends on the Group’s financial position and the then prevailing market condition. Furthermore, such alternative may be subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with banks. Given that debt financing will usually incur interest burden on the Group, the Directors consider debt financing to be relatively uncertain and time-consuming as compared to equity financing, such as placing of new Shares, for the Group to obtain additional funding.

The Directors confirmed that they would exercise due and careful consideration when choosing the best financing method available to the Group. With this being the case, along with the fact that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate will provide the Company an additional alternative and it is reasonable for the Company to have the flexibility in deciding the financing methods for its future business development, we are of the view that the refreshment of the Current General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(vi) Potential dilution to shareholding of the existing public Shareholders

The table below sets out the shareholding structure of the Company, to the best knowledge of the Director, (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date (assuming completion of the Open Offer); and (ii) upon full utilisation of the refreshed Current General Mandate (assuming that no other Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the refreshed Current General Mandate (if granted) is exercised in full):
