CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

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 that 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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to give you information regarding the ordinary resolutions to repurchase Shares, to issue new Shares, declaration of final dividend, the re-election of Directors, and to seek your approval of the resolutions in relation thereto to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Three respective ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to enable the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company (i) to issue new Shares up to 20% of the total issued Shares of the Company; (ii) to make repurchases on the Stock Exchange of the Company’s fully paid up Shares representing up to a maximum of 10% of the total issued Shares

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of the Company; and (iii) to increase the number of Shares which the Directors may issue under the general mandate by the number of Shares repurchased under the repurchase mandate. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to re-elect each of the retired directors.

Under the GEM Listing Rules, the Company is required to provide you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting. This circular is prepared for such purpose.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

The explanatory statement as required under the GEM Listing Rules to provide the requisite information to you for consideration of the proposed grant of the repurchase mandate is set out below.

GEM LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on GEM to repurchase their Shares on GEM subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized as below. The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and the Articles, the Companies Ordinance and Companies Law to repurchase its own Shares.

(a) Shareholders’ approval

The GEM Listing Rules provide that all on-market share repurchases by a company with its primary listing on GEM must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval with reference to a specific transaction.

(b) Source of funds

Repurchases must be funded out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association and the Articles and the Companies Ordinance and the Companies Law. Any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Ordinance, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of the profits of the Company out of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Ordinance.

(c) Maximum number of Shares to be purchased and subsequent issues

A maximum of 10% of fully-paid issued Shares of the Company at the date of passing the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting may be repurchased on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES TO BE GRANTED TO DIRECTORS TO MAKE ON-MARKET REPURCHASES OF SHARES AND TO ISSUE NEW SHARES

Pursuant to the ordinary resolutions passed by the then Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 1 November 2018, the Directors were granted a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares in the capital of the Company and a general mandate to repurchase Shares on GEM. These mandates will expire at the conclusion of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. To facilitate future allotment and issue of Shares by the Directors on behalf of the Company, the Directors will seek the approval of the Shareholders for the grant of the general mandate and the repurchase mandate as provided under resolutions no. 5(A) to 5(C) in the notice of the Annual General Meeting.

Ordinary resolution no. 5(A) contained in the notice of the Annual General Meeting relates to the granting of a general mandate to the Directors to issue new Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the issued Shares of the Company at the date of passing of the resolution. The authority conferred on the Directors by this mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or any earlier date as referred to in paragraph (d) of the ordinary resolution no. 5(A). In addition, subject to the approval by the Shareholders of the ordinary resolution no. 5(C) contained in the notice of the Annual General Meeting, the number of Shares purchased by the Company under the repurchase mandate will also be added to the 20% general mandate as mentioned above. The Directors have no immediate plan to allot and issue any new Shares other than such Shares which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of any options granted under the Share Option Scheme.

Ordinary resolution no. 5(B) contained in the notice of the Annual General Meeting relates to the granting of a buy back mandate to the Directors to repurchase, on the Stock Exchange, Shares of the Company up to a maximum of 10% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the date of the passing of the resolution (the repurchase mandate). The authority conferred on the Directors by this mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or any earlier date as referred to in paragraph (c) of ordinary resolution no. 5(B).

Ordinary resolution no. 5(C) contained in the notice of the Annual General Meeting relates to the extension of the general mandate to be granted to the Directors to issue new Shares during the relevant period by adding to it the aggregate number of Shares (if any) purchased under the repurchase mandate. The authority conferred on the Directors by this mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or any earlier date as referred to in paragraph (d) of ordinary resolution no. 5(A).

REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any Shares, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the repurchase mandate would be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. At any time in the future when Shares are trading at a discount to their underlying value, the ability of the Company to repurchase Shares will be beneficial to

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

those Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company since their attributable percentage interest in the Shares of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of Shares repurchased by the Company. The Directors will only make such repurchases in circumstances where they consider them to be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 800,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of ordinary resolution no. 5(B), the Company would be allowed under the repurchase mandate to repurchase a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares, i.e. 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution, on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting.

Subject to the passing of ordinary resolution no. 5(A), the Company would be allowed under the mandate to issue a maximum of 160,000,000 Shares, i.e. 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution, on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases by the Company must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Articles, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the GEM Listing Rules. A GEM listed company is prohibited from repurchasing its own shares on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time. Subject to the foregoing, any repurchases by the Company may be made out of its profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorized by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital and in the case of any premium payable on a repurchase, out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company, or if authorized by its Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

The Directors propose that repurchases of Shares under the repurchase mandate in these circumstances would be financed from the Company’s internal resources or working capital facilities.

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the repurchase mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

However, 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 requirements or the gearing levels of the Company, which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which Shares traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the 12 months immediately preceding and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

**Price ** **per ** Share
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2018
October 0.395 0.295
November 0.375 0.290
December 0.375 0.300

July 0.350 0.320
August 0.360 0.250
September (up to and including the Latest Practicable
Date) 0.360 0.250

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases under the repurchase mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

If as a result of a share repurchase, 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 and if such increase results in a change of control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for Shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Should the Directors exercise the power of the Company under the repurchase mandate, based on the current shareholding’s structure of the Company as shown at below, the Directors are not aware of any obligation that would arise under the Takeovers Code.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, only the following persons were interested in 10% or more of the issued share capital of the Company as recorded in the register of interests kept by the Company under the Securities (Disclosure of Interests) Ordinance (Chapter 396 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and held the following number of Shares:

Percentage

Shares
(assuming

Number of number of exercise in
Name Note Shares Shares full)
Mr. Kwok Tung Keung 1 250,000,000 31.25% 34.72%
(“Mr. Kwok”)
Mr. Ko Chun Hay Kelvin 189,500,000 23.69% 26.32%
(“Mr. Ko”)

Note:

  1. Mr. Kwok beneficially owns 100% of the issued share capital of Best Brain Investments Limited (“ Best Brain ”). By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Kwok is deemed to be interested in the same number of the Shares held by Best Brain.

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate the control of the Company, and depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interests, may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge and belief of the Company, and as recorded in the registers required to be kept by the Company under section 336 of the SFO, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Kwok, the Chairman and an executive Director of the Company, has an interest in 250,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 31.25% of the issued share capital of the Company, and Mr. Ko, the Chief Executive Officer, executive Director and company secretary has an interest in 189,500,000 Shares, representing approximately 23.69% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Kwok would be increased to approximately 34.72% of the then total issued Shares, and that of Mr. Ko would be increased to approximately 26.32% of the then total issued Shares.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the shareholding of Mr. Kwok increases by more than 2% from his lowest percentage holdings in the 12 months ending on date of a repurchase of Shares by the Company, Mr. Kwok may be obliged to make a mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code unless a waiver is granted by the Securities and Futures Commission. The Directors do not presently envisage exercising the Repurchase Mandate to effect on-market repurchase of Shares in circumstances where this will trigger such mandatory general offer obligation for Mr. Kwok under the Takeovers Code. Mr. Ko’s potential increase in shareholding will not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors do not propose or intend to repurchase Shares which could result in mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code and less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands (i.e. 25%). The Stock Exchange has stated that if less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company are in the public hands, or if the Stock Exchange believes that a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the shares or that there are insufficient Shares in the public hands to maintain an orderly market, it will consider exercising its discretion to suspend the dealing in the Shares.

None of the Directors, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, or any of their respective associates, presently intends to sell Shares to the Company in the event that the repurchase mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any connected persons of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares, nor they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the repurchase mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

SHARE PURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchases of Shares have been made by the Company whether on the GEM or otherwise in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed with this circular. To be valid, the instrument appointing a proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy thereof, must be deposited at the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, at Suites 3301–04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the above meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors have presently no intention to issue new Shares for the Company. The Directors believe that an exercise of the general mandate will enable the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for the Company.

The repurchase mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

An exercise of the repurchase mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 30 June 2019, being the date of its latest audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

The Directors believe that the general mandate to issue Shares and the repurchase mandate are beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and accordingly recommend that all Shareholders should vote in favour of ordinary resolutions no. 5(A), 5(B) and 5(C) to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

The ordinary resolutions in relation to the re-election of directors is proposed for purpose of complying with the Articles. Accordingly, the Directors recommend Shareholders to vote in favor of the ordinary resolutions.

DECLARATION OF FINAL DIVIDEND

As mentioned in the results announcement of the Company dated 23 September 2019, the Board recommends the payment of a final dividend out of the share premium account under reserves of the Company of HK$0.025 per share in respect of the year ended 30 June 2019 to the Shareholders whose names appeared on the register of members of the Company on Monday, 11 November 2019, totalling HK$20,000,000, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM and the Companies Law.

Under Section 34(2) of the Companies Law, the share premium account may be applied by the company paying dividends to shareholders provided that no dividend may be paid to members out of the share premium account unless, immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be paid, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. The Board confirms that with respect to the Dividend, the Company meets the solvency test as laid down under the Companies Law and shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business immediately following the date on which the Dividend is proposed to be paid.
