CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the proposed granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Repurchases of the Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,472,959,333 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 8 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, an aggregate nominal amount of Shares not exceeding HK$2,472,959.33 (equivalent to 247,295,933 Shares), representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association, the laws of Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

The Company is empowered by its memorandum and articles of association to repurchase Shares. The laws of Cayman Islands provide that the amount of capital paid in connection with a share repurchase by a company may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of the funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend 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 which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the shareholding of the Directors and substantial Shareholders who have interest of more than 5% are illustrated in following table:

Approximate Approximate

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

Notes:

  1. The letter (L) denotes the person’s long position in such securities.

  2. Assuming that (i) the issued share capital of the Company remained at 2,472,959,333 Shares immediately before the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate; and (ii) the shareholdings of the Shareholders as set out in the above table remained unchanged immediately before the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate.

  3. Ms. Ho Chiu Ha Maisy has a total interest in 636,952,500 shares (representing an aggregate of approximately 25.75% shareholding in the Company), of which (i) 229,062,500 shares were held by Refulgent Sunrise Limited, a company owned as to 36% by Ms. Ho Chiu Ha Maisy and it is an approximately 75% shareholder of Revenue Synthesis Limited, an associated corporation of the Company. As a result, Ms. Ho Chiu Ha Maisy is deemed to be interested in the approximately 75% shareholding in Revenue Synthesis Limited and the 229,062,500 shares of the Company through Refulgent Sunrise Limited by virtue of the SFO; and (ii) Ms. Ho Chiu Ha Maisy personal held 407,890,000 shares.

  4. Ms. Ho Chiu Ha Maisy, Ms. Man Wing Yee Ginny, Mr. Lau Ling Tak and Mr. Wang Qiang are executive Directors.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and on the basis of the shareholding of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company, the Directors are currently not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase of Shares made under the Repurchase Mandate, since none of the substantial Shareholders would hold 30% or more of the shareholding of the Company after the repurchase.

The GEM Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase of its shares on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase was that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange from time to time) of the company’s issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors will exercise the powers conferred by the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares in circumstances, which they deem appropriate for the benefits of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the extent that the number of Shares in the hands of the public would fall below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

6. GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

– 9 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.

The Company has not been notified by any connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

7. REPURCHASES OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

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

8. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

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