PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

-
(ii) all attendees are required to wear surgical face masks at the AGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance with other attendees;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 November 2020, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to issue new Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue Shares if and when appropriate, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate, and authorise the extension of the Issue Mandate to issue and allot the Shares bought back by the Company under the Share Buy-back Mandate, details of which are set out in ordinary resolutions no. 4 and 6 of the AGM Notice. The Shares which may be issued and allotted pursuant to the Issue Mandate is limited to a maximum of 20 per cent. of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Issue Mandate. On the basis that 2,595,613,733 Shares are in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the AGM, exercise in full of the Issue Mandate (without being extended by the number of Shares (if any) bought back by the Company under the Share Buy-back Mandate) could result in up to 519,122,746 Shares being issued and allotted by the Company.
The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate.
PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY BACK SHARES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 November 2020, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to buy back Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. In order to give the Company the flexibility to buy back Shares if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Share Buy-back Mandate, details of which are set out in ordinary resolution no. 5 of the AGM Notice. The Shares which may be bought back pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate is limited to a maximum of 10 per cent. of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Share Buy-back Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with Article 84(1) of the Articles, at each annual general meeting of the Company, 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 but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation. The Directors to retire in every year shall be those who have been longest in office since their last re-election but as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless otherwise agree between themselves) be determined by lot. Accordingly, Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson and Mr. Wang Bo, will retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. The Nomination Committee has considered the background, skills, professional knowledge and experience of Mr. Wang Bo having regard to the policy for appointment of Director of the Company and is of the view that he has extensive experience in different fields and professionals that are relevant to the Company’s business. Mr. Wang Bo’s education, background and experience allow him to provide valuable and relevant insights and contribute to the diversity of the Board and the Company considers that Mr. Wang Bo is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules.
Particulars of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II of this circular.
PROPOSED RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
The AGM Notice is set out on page 15 to page 19 of this circular.
According to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, the voting at the AGM will be taken by poll except where the chairman may in good faith allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. An announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with the requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate.
1. EXERCISE OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
On the basis that 2,595,613,733 Shares are in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the AGM, exercise in full of the Share Buy-back Mandate could result in up to 259,561,373 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM, being bought back by the Company during the period from the passing of resolution no. 5 set out in the AGM Notice up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking, varying or renewing the Share Buy-back Mandate, whichever occurs first.
2. REASONS FOR SHARES BUY-BACK
The Directors believe that the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Buy-back of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per share.
3. FUNDING AND EFFECT OF SHARES BUY-BACK
Buy-back made pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association, the Articles, the Listing Rules, the Companies Law and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not buy back its own securities for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Companies Law, buy-back by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.
Any premium payable on a buy-back of shares over the par value of the Shares to be bought back must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.
– 7 –
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Share Buy-back Mandate was 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 the position as at 30 June 2021, being the date of its latest published audited financial statements. However, the Directors do not intend to make any buy-back 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.
4. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
5. INTENTION TO SELL SHARES
To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates, have any present intention, in the event that the proposal on the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
6. TAKEOVERS CODE
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.
As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
Notes:
-
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company issued 2,595,613,733 Shares. The Letter “L” denotes the person’s long position in such Shares.
-
Nice Rich is a British Virgin Islands company wholly owned by Mr. Zhang. Under the SFO, Mr. Zhang is deemed to be interested in all the shares registered in the name of Nice Rich.
-
1,836,391,914 Shares were charged by Nice Rich as chargor to Charming Treasure as chargee as security interest on 30 May 2018. Charming Treasure is wholly owned by China Orient Int’l. China Orient Int’l is owned as to 50% by Dong Yin and 50% by Wise Leader. Both Wise Leader and Dong Yin are wholly owned by China Orient. By virtue of the SFO, each of China Orient, Dong Yin, Wise Leader, China Orient Int’l is deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by Charming Treasure as security interest.
After taking into account that Nice Rich and Mr. Zhang already holding more than 50% of the issued shares of the Company, it is not expected that an exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate will give rise to a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any buy-back made pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate.
Assuming Nice Rich and Mr. Zhang will not dispose of their interests in the Shares nor will they acquire additional Shares, if the Share Buy-back Mandate was exercised in full, the percentage shareholding of Nice Rich and Mr. Zhang would be increased to approximately 78.61% and 82.38% of the issued share capital of the Company respectively.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent which will result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.
7. SHARE BOUGHT BACK BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not bought back any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the previous six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON
No core connected person has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
