ISSUE MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

Issue Mandate

The Company’s existing mandate to issue Shares was approved by its then Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 June 2019. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to issue Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors new general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with the Shares of up to 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the proposed resolution.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Meeting to add to the Issue Mandate those Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (if so granted to the Directors at the Meeting).

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Issue Mandate or the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the Meeting).

The Issue Mandate allows the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with the Shares during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or the laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company (the ‘‘Relevant Period’’).

Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Issue Mandate and on the basis of 1,000,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and that no further Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased prior to the date of the Meeting, the Directors would be authorised to allot, issue and otherwise deal with a maximum of 200,000,000 new Shares under the Issue Mandate, representing 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

Repurchase Mandate

The Company’s existing mandate to repurchase Shares was approved by its then Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 June 2019. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to repurchase Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors new general and unconditional mandate to repurchase the Shares of up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the proposed resolution. The Repurchase Mandate allows the Company to make purchases during the Relevant Period.

Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis of 1,000,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and that no further Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 100,000,000 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

An explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide the requisite information regarding the Repurchase Mandate to the Shareholders.

General Extension Mandate

In addition, if the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate are granted, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to extend the Issue Mandate by adding to the Issue Mandate those Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate provided that such extended amount shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares on the date of passing of the resolution for the grant of the Issue Mandate.

According to Article 108(a) of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election.

In accordance with Article 108(a) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Tan Yee Boon and Mr. Hew Lee Lam Sang, both being independent non-executive Directors, shall retire and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Recommendation of the Nomination Committee

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any resolutions put to the vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the general 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, each of the resolutions set out in the notice of Annual General Meeting 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/it is the holder. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not use all his/her/its votes or cast all the votes he/she/it uses in the same way.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that all the proposed resolutions including the the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate by the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, and the proposed re-election of Directors are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of all the above resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. PROVISIONS OF THE LISTING RULES

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.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was HK$10,000,000 comprising 1,000,000,000 fully paid Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are 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 100,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the time of the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek the Repurchase Mandate from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The timing of such repurchases, the number of Shares to be repurchased, the repurchase price and other terms upon which the Shares are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the prevailing circumstances.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases of shares would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, the Memorandum of Association, the Articles of Association and the Listing Rules for such purpose. The Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company, the share premium account of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase, or out of capital provided that the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business and the payment out of capital is authorized by the Articles of Association, subject to and in accordance with the Companies Law. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

be paid out of either the profits of the Company or the share premium account of the Company before or at the time the Company’s Shares are repurchased, or in the manner provided for in the Companies Law.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2019, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

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

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2019
May 0.770 0.580
June 0.670 0.550
July 0.610 0.500
August 0.600 0.420
September 0.580 0.455
October 0.590 0.470
November 0.520 0.480

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

6. UNDERTAKING

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the Annual General Meeting and exercised.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum of Association, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

7. EFFECTS OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of a share repurchase, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, 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, as far as the Directors are aware, Mr. Lim Chee Meng (‘‘Mr. CM Lim’’), Mr. Lim Chin Sean (‘‘Mr. CS Lim’’) and LGB (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (‘‘LGB (Malaysia)’’) were collectively interested in a total of 750,000,000 Shares (which were beneficially owned by Sparkle Century Group Limited (‘‘Sparkle Century’’)), representing 75% of the total number of issued Shares. Sparkle Century is wholly-owned by LGB Group (HK) Limited, which is owned as to 70%, 25% and 5% by LGB (Malaysia), Mr. CM Lim and Mr. CS Lim, respectively. LGB (Malaysia) is owned as to 30.40%, 30.40%, 10.43%, 10.43%, 10.43%, 5.41% and 2.50% by Mr. CM Lim, Mr. CS Lim, Ms. Lim Shiak Ling, Ms. Lim Ai Ling, Ms. Lim Siew Ling, Ms. Geh Sok Lan (also known as Ms. Goay Sook Lan) and Ms. Lim Wang Ling, respectively. As a result of the confirmatory deed in relation to parties acting in concert dated 11 April 2018 entered into between Mr. CM Lim and Mr. CS Lim, Mr. CM Lim and Mr. CS Lim are deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by Sparkle Century for the purposes of the SFO.

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

On the assumption that the total number of issued Shares remains the same, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the percentage of shareholding of Sparkle Century would increase from 75% to approximately 83.33% of the total number of issued Shares. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Directors are not aware of any consequences of such repurchases of Shares that would result in a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full. However, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will result in insufficient public float of the Company.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent which would otherwise result in any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares being held by the public falling below the minimum requirement as prescribed by the Stock Exchange, which is currently 25% of the total number of issued Shares.

8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
