LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PAYMENT OF SPECIAL DIVIDEND OUT OF SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT
Subject to approval of the Shareholders, the Board proposes the declaration and payment of the Special Dividend of HK$0.06 per Share out of the Share Premium Account.
As at 14 January 2015, the Company has 1,259,401,000 Shares in issue. Based on the number of issued Shares as at 14 January 2015, the Special Dividend, if declared and paid, will amount to an aggregate amount of HK$75,564,060. Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Payment of Special Dividend out of Share Premium Account” below, the Special Dividend is intended to be paid out of the Share Premium Account pursuant to Articles 133 and 134 of the Articles of Association and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law.
As at 30 September 2014, based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Group, the amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account were approximately HK$3,100,039,776. Following the payment of the Special Dividend, there will be a remaining balance of approximately HK$3,024,475,716 standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account.
Conditions of the Payment of Special Dividend out of Share Premium Account
The payment of the Special 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 Special Dividend out of the Share Premium Account pursuant to Articles 133 and 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 Special 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 Special Dividend will be paid in cash on or about 3 March 2015 to those Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company at close of business on 17 February 2015, being the record date for determination of entitlements to the Special Dividend.
The conditions set out above cannot be waived. If the conditions set out above are not satisfied, the Special Dividend will not be paid.
Reasons for and effect of the payment of Special Dividend out of Share Premium Account
As the business and operations of the Group have generated positive earnings and cash flow, the Board considers it appropriate to distribute the Special Dividend in recognition of Shareholders’ support.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company is a holding company and a significant part of the Group’s business is carried out through operating subsidiaries of the Company at which level earnings are retained. As such, the Company may not have sufficient retained earnings to pay the Special Dividend at the holding company level. Having taken into account a number of factors including cash flow and financial condition of the Company, the Board considers it appropriate and proposes that Special 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 Special Dividend will not have any material adverse effect on the 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 on 17 February 2015, for the purpose of determining the entitlements of the Shareholders to the Special Dividend, during which period no transfer of shares in the Company will be effected. In order to qualify for the proposed Special Dividend, all transfers, accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Company’s Hong Kong share registrar and transfer office, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited of Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, no later than 4:30 p.m. on 16 February 2015.
