LETTER FROM THE BOARD

DECLARATION AND PAYMENT OF INTERIM DIVIDEND OUT OF THE SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

As announced by the Company in its announcement dated 25 August 2021 regarding the unaudited interim results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Board has recommended the declaration and payment of an Interim Dividend of HK2.5 cents per Share out of the Share Premium Account for the six months ended 30 June 2021, subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM by way of an ordinary resolution pursuant to the Articles of Association and the Cayman Companies Law. Such Interim Dividend will not be subject to any withholding tax.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 400,000,000 Shares in issue, and the Interim Dividend, if declared and paid, will amount to HK$10,000,000 based on the number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Payment of Interim Dividend out of the Share Premium Account” below, the Interim Dividend is intended to be paid out of the Share Premium Account pursuant to article 134 of the Articles of Association and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law.

As at 30 June 2021, based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group, the amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account was approximately RMB161,574,000. Following the payment of the Interim Dividend, there will be a remaining balance of approximately RMB153,274,000 standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account.

Conditions of the Payment of Interim Dividend out of the Share Premium Account

The payment of the Interim Dividend out of the Share Premium Account is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders declaring and approving the payment of the Interim Dividend out of the Share Premium Account pursuant to article 134 of the Articles of Association; and

  • (b) the Directors being satisfied that there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, immediately following the date on which the Interim Dividend is paid, unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Subject to the fulfilment of the above conditions, it is expected that the Interim Dividend will be paid in cash on or about Wednesday, 10 November 2021 to those qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members at the close of business on Monday, 1 November 2021, being the record date for determination of entitlements to the Interim Dividend.

The conditions set out above cannot be waived. If the conditions set out above are not satisfied, the Interim Dividend will not be paid.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for and effect of the payment of Interim Dividend out of the Share Premium Account

The Board considers it appropriate to distribute the Interim Dividend in recognition of Shareholders’ support.

After taking into account a number of factors including the cash flow and financial condition of the Company, the Board considers it appropriate and proposes that the Interim Dividend be paid out of the Share Premium Account in accordance with article 134 of the Articles of Association and the Cayman Companies Law. The Board considers such arrangement to be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Board believes that the payment of the Interim Dividend will not have any material adverse effect on the underlying assets, business, operations or financial position of the Group and does not involve any reduction in the authorized or issued share capital of the Company or reduction in the nominal value of the Shares or result in any change in the trading arrangements in respect of the Shares.

Closure of register of members

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 19 October 2021 to Friday, 22 October 2021 (both days inclusive), in order to determine the identity of the Shareholders who are entitled to attend the EGM to be held on Friday, 22 October 2021, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. To be eligible to attend the EGM, all properly completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged for registration with the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 18 October 2021.

VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and article 66(1) of the Articles of Association, any resolution put to the vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting shall be decided on a 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. Accordingly, the resolution set out in the notice of the EGM will be taken by way of poll.

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative, shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he/she is the holder. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not use all his/her votes or cast all the votes he/she uses in the same way.

RECOMMENDATION
