INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding certain resolutions to be proposed at the 2016 AGM to seek approval of the Shareholders, including but not limited to (a) the proposed grant of general mandates to the Directors for the issue and repurchase of Shares; and (b) re-election of retiring Directors.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the 2016 AGM, the Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate.

Issue Mandate

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2016 AGM to grant a general and unconditional mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of granting the Issue Mandate. In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will further be proposed to approve the addition to the Issue Mandate so granted to the Directors an amount representing the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. The Issue Mandate (if granted) shall continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or any earlier date as referred to in the relevant resolution in the notice of the 2016 AGM. The Board would like to state that it has no present intention to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate.

Repurchase Mandate

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2016 AGM to grant a general and unconditional mandate to the Directors to repurchase the fully paid-up Shares on the Stock Exchange, provided that the total number of Shares to be purchased shall not exceed 10% of the number of issued Shares at the date of granting the Repurchase Mandate. The Repurchase Mandate (if granted) shall continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or any earlier date as referred to in the relevant resolution in the notice of the 2016 AGM. The Board would like to state that it has no present intention to repurchase any Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement to provide relevant information in respect of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate number of Shares in issue was 3,348,800,000. Accordingly, subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate and assuming no repurchase or issue of Shares prior to the 2016 AGM, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would enable the Company to repurchase up to 334,880,000 Shares and the exercise of the Issue Mandate in full would enable the Company to allot, issue and deal with up to 669,760,000 Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

According to Article 84 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. In accordance with the said Article 84, Mr. Wong Chit On (‘‘Mr. Wong’’) and Mr. Lam Ying Hung Andy (‘‘Mr. Lam’’) shall retire from office by rotation at the 2016 AGM. All the retiring Directors, being eligible, will respectively offer themselves for re-election at the 2016 AGM.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2016 AGM to re-elect Mr. Wong and Mr. Lam as Director respectively.

Mr. Lam, independent non-executive Director appointed on 28 February 2011, has met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is not involved in the daily management and operation of the Company nor is he in any relationships or circumstance which would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment. Moreover, Mr. Lam has demonstrated his ability to provide an independent view to the Company’s matters during his tenure of office. After re-election, Mr. Lam will be subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association regarding retirement and as the case may be, re-election at future annual general meeting of the Company. Hence, the Board is of the opinion that Mr. Lam remains independent and thus recommends him for re-election at the 2016 AGM.

Particulars of each of Mr. Wong and Mr. Lam required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

2016 AGM AND PROXY PROCEDURE

A notice convening the 2016 AGM for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing, among other proposed resolutions, the abovementioned ordinary resolutions is set out on pages 12 to 16 of this circular. A form of proxy is enclosed for your use at the 2016 AGM. Shareholders are requested to complete and return the form of proxy to the Share Registrar as soon as possible, but in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the time of the 2016 AGM or any adjournment thereof. The lodging of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending the 2016 AGM and voting in person should you so wish and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

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. As such, all the resolutions set out in the notice of the 2016 AGM will be voted by poll. After the conclusion of the 2016 AGM the results of the Poll will be published on the websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company.

Accordingly, the Directors recommend that you vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the 2016 AGM.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide all the information in relation to the Repurchase Mandate for your consideration.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASES OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. All proposed repurchases of securities on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of its shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up. A maximum of 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the relevant resolution may be repurchased on the Stock Exchange.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,348,800,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the 2016 AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 334,880,000 Shares, representing 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Whilst the Directors do not presently intend to repurchase any Shares immediately, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

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

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilised in this connection in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

Based on the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016, there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company 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

– 7 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE

circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors, and to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the shareholders and subsequently exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the shareholders and subsequently exercised.

7. 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 Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company during the last six months (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

9. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company, Shareholders’ proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increases will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of its or their shareholding, 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, Mr. Wong Chit On, the chairman of the Company and an executive Director, is beneficially interested in 1,194,710,296 Shares held under Excel Time Investments Limited, a company controlled by him, representing approximately 35.68% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which are proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of Mr. Wong in the Company would increase to approximately 39.64%. As a result, Mr. Wong, together with the parties acting in concert, may be required to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Company has no present intention to repurchase Shares to such extent that an obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code will be triggered.

– 8 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent as may result in the amount of Shares held by the public to fall below 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

10. MARKET PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Trading Trading
price per Share
Highest Lowest
Month HK$ HK$
August 2015 0.914* 0.540*

Latest Practicable Date) 0.170 0.135
  • As regards share prices on or before 23 March 2016, the quoted prices were adjusted as a result of the share consolidation as described in the circular of the Company dated 7 March 2016 and the announcement of the Company dated 23 March 2016. As regards share prices on or before 29 March 2016, the quoted prices were also adjusted as a result of the rights issue of the Company as described in the prospectus of the Company dated 7 April 2016 and the announcement of the Company dated 28 April 2016.

11. EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE

A resolution will also be proposed at the 2016 AGM authorising the Directors to increase the maximum number of new Shares which may be issued under the Issue Mandate for the issuance and allotment of additional Shares by adding to it the total number of Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
