Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES, RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The primary purposes of this circular are to provide you with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting and to give you the AGM Notice. Resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting include ordinary resolutions on the grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate. This circular also includes details of the Directors subject to re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the 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 also prepared for such purpose.

PROPOSED GRANT OF ISSUE MANDATE, REPURCHASE MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 August 2022, the Directors were granted a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares in the capital of the Company and a repurchase mandate to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange. These mandates will expire at the conclusion of the 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 Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate.

In addition, an ordinary resolution regarding the Extension Mandate will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to authorise the increase in the total number of new Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Issue Mandate by an additional number representing such number of Shares actually repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 10,520,324,505 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and Issue Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, (a) the Company will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue up to a maximum of 2,104,064,901 Shares plus any Shares which may have been repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate and (b) the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 1,052,032,450 Shares.

The explanatory statement in respect of the Repurchase Mandate required by the Listing Rules to be included in this circular is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Under the code provision set out in the paragraph B.2.2 of Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, every director, including those appointed for a specific term, should be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.

In accordance with article 113 of the Articles, Dr. WANG Qin, Dr. FU Weigang and Mr. CHEN Yuming will retire as Directors by rotation. All of them will, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting. Biographical details of Dr. WANG Qin, Dr. FU Weigang and Mr. CHEN Yuming are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company confirms that it has received from each of the independent non-executive directors an annual confirmation of his independence pursuant to rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and the Company considers the independent non-executive directors are independent in character and judgment and fulfil the independence guidelines.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

At the Annual General Meeting, as the case may be, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve, among other matters, the following:

  • (a) the grant of the Issue Mandate;

  • (b) the grant of the Repurchase Mandate; and

  • (c) the grant of the Extension Mandate.

Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time for the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof to the Company’s branch share registrar, Tricor Abacus Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the Extension Mandate and the re-election of Directors as set out in the AGM Notice are beneficial to and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors believe that an exercise of the Issue 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 31 March 2023, being the date of its latest published audited 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.

Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions approving the grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the Extension Mandate and the re-election of Directors at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of 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. Accordingly, the chairman of the AGM will demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM pursuant to Article 87 of the Articles. The results of the poll will then be announced by the Company in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this circular and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries that to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement herein misleading.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board Wealthking Investments Limited Wang Qin Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.

LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below. The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and the Articles to repurchase its own securities.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 10,520,324,505 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 1,052,032,450 Shares.

REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of 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 if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and the Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, including but not limited to profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase.

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with its position as at 31 March 2023, being disclosed in the Company’s latest published audited accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2023. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company any of the securities in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the Annual General Meeting.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make purchases of the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the regulations set out in the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles.

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeover Code as a result of any repurchase to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.
