CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
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 Buyback Mandate.
1. REASONS FOR BUYBACK OF SHARES
The Directors believe that the proposed granting of the Buyback 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 Buyback 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 500,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 12 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Buyback 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 Buyback Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force, an aggregate nominal amount of Shares not exceeding HK$500,000.00 (equivalent to 50,000,000 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.
– 7 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK 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 2012) in the event that the Buyback 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 Buyback 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 Buyback 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, Mr. Wong Kam Wah, executive Director of the Company, held an interest in 300,000,000 issued Shares (of which 300,000,000 Shares were held through Kate Glory Limited, a company wholly owned by Mr. Wong Kam Wah), representing approximately 60.0% of the total issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that (i) the total issued share capital of the Company (being 500,000,000 Shares) remains unchanged as at the date of the AGM and (ii) the above shareholding interest of Mr. Wong Kam Wah in the Company remains unchanged immediately after the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM, the shareholding interest of Mr. Wong Kam Wah in the issued Shares would be increased to approximately 66.7% of the total issued share capital of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Ms. Man Wing Yee Ginny, a non-executive Director of the Company, held an interest in 47,510,000 issued Shares, representing approximately 9.5% of the total issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that (i) the total issued share capital of the Company (being 500,000,000 Shares) remains unchanged as at the date of the AGM and (ii) the above shareholding interest of Ms. Man Wing Yee Ginny in the Company remains unchanged immediately after the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM, the shareholding interest of Ms. Man Wing Yee Ginny in the issued Shares would be increased to approximately 10.6% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of any consequences, which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Buyback Mandate.
– 8 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
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 do not propose to repurchase Shares, which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
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 Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Buyback 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 Buyback 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).
