LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

The general mandate granted to the Directors to allot and issue and deal with the unissued Shares and the general mandate granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 May 2020 will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase and issue Shares if and when appropriate, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the grant of new general mandates to the Directors:

  • (a) the General Mandate — a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares of up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of Shares in issue on the date of the passing of such resolution;

  • (b) the Repurchase Mandate — a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares which shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Share in issue on the date of the passing of such resolution; and

  • (c) the Extension Mandate — the power to extend the general mandate in (a) above by an amount representing the aggregate amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the mandate to repurchase Shares referred to in (b) above.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 1,791,500,000. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution, the maximum number of new Shares (assuming that there will be no change in the number of Shares in issue between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting) to be issued under the proposed General Mandate is 358,300,000, and the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 179,150,000 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

The General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will expire: (a) at the end of the Company’s next annual general meeting following the Annual General Meeting; (b) at the end of the period within which the Company is required by law or the Articles to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever is the earliest.

An explanatory statement containing information necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on the proposed resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate as required by the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprises two executive Directors, namely Mr. Qian Lirong and Mr. Qian Chenhui, one non-executive Director, namely Mr. Xia Bin, and three independent non-executive Directors, namely Professor Jin Xiaofeng, Mr. Chan Fan Shing and Mr. Chen Gang. Ms. Qian Liqian is an alternate director to Mr. Qian Lirong.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with Articles 84(1) and 84(2) of the Articles, Professor Jin Xiaofeng and Mr Chan Fan Shing will retire from the office of Director by rotation, and being eligible, they will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Recommendations to the Board for the proposal for re-election of each of Professor Jin Xiaofeng and Mr. Chan Fan Shing as a Director was made by the nomination committee of the Board, after considering the potential contribution each relevant Director can bring to the Board in terms of qualification, skills, experience, independence and diversity in accordance with the director nomination policy of the Company, taking into account the relevant director’s biographical information and background, and considering various factors including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background and professional experience as set out in the board diversity policy of the Company.

The Board has also assessed the independence of Professor Jin Xiaofeng and Mr. Chan Fan Shing, the independent non-executive Directors eligible for re-election at the Annual General Meeting, by reference to the independence guidelines as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Professor Jin Xiaofeng and Mr. Chan Fan Shing was each appointed as an independent non-executive Director which could help enhance the diversity of the Board due to Professor Jin Xiaofeng’s electrical engineering background and Mr. Chan Fan Shing’s auditing, accounting and financial management background respectively. Taking into account the above factors, the Board considers that each of Professor Jin Xiaofeng and Mr. Chan Fan Shing is independent and can bring further contributions to the Board and its diversity.

Information on the Directors for re-election is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a specific transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 1,791,500,000 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate (resolution numbered 4(B) as set out in the notice convening the Annual General Meeting contained in this circular), and on the basis of 1,791,500,000 Shares in issue and assuming that no new Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 179,150,000 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases must be paid out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles, the Companies Act and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Cayman Islands law, any repurchases 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 such purpose or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of profits or the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

On the basis of the current financial position of the Company and taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase 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 31 December 2020, being the date to which the last audited accounts of the Company were made up. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the following months were as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2020
April 1.49 1.22
May 1.41 1.03
June 1.34 1.10
July 1.37 0.99
August 1.07 0.89
September 0.99 0.78
October 0.88 0.73
November 0.86 0.70
December 0.83 0.74
2021
January 0.91 0.72
February 0.98 0.80
March 0.88 0.74
April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.82 0.75

7. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases when the Company exercises its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, (i) Mr. Qian Lirong (‘‘Mr. Qian’’) and his controlled corporations collectively held approximately 29.22% of the issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) Mr. Qian, together with parties acting concert with him (including his controlled corporations) (collectively, the ‘‘Concert Group Shareholders’’) in aggregate held approximately 58.10% of the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, assuming the current shareholding remains the same, the interest held by Mr. Qian and his controlled corporations would be increased to approximately 32.47% and the aggregate interest held by the Concert Group Shareholders would be increased to approximately 64.55%.

In the opinion of the Directors, on the basis of the current shareholding of the Concert Group Shareholders in the Company, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will result in Mr. Qian and his controlled corporations becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer 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 purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. However, the Board has no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would result in Mr. Qian and his controlled corporations having to become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors also have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the previous six months.

9. GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the Annual General Meeting and is exercised.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

No core connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company 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 if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
