CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM
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 Stock 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.

Dear Sir or Madam
PROPOSED GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND TO ISSUE NEW SHARES; REFRESHMENT OF SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT; PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE DIRECTORS; AND NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
– 3 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM for (i) the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors; (ii) the granting of the Issuance Mandate to the Directors; (iii) the extension of the Issuance Mandate by adding to it the nominal amount of issued Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate; (iv) refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and (v) the re-election of the Directors.
2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE REPURCHASE AND ISSUANCE MANDATES
At the 2014 AGM, resolutions were passed by the Shareholders at the meeting giving general mandates to the Directors:
-
(i) to allot, issue or deal with new Shares of an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the total nominal amount of the Company’s issued share capital as at that date;
-
(ii) to repurchase Shares with the aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the total nominal amount of the Company’s issued share capital as at that date; and
-
(iii) to add to the general mandate for issuing Shares set out in (i) above and the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the repurchase mandate set out in (ii) above.
The abovementioned general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM, unless renewed at that meeting.
At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:
-
(a) to repurchase Shares on GEM or on any other stock exchange recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange, of an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the total nominal amount of the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of passing such resolution (i.e. an aggregate nominal amount of Shares not exceeding HK$2,220,000.00 (equivalent to 222,000,000 Shares) on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the AGM) (the “ Repurchase Mandate ”);
-
(b) to allot, issue or deal with new Shares of an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the total nominal amount of the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of passing such resolution (i.e. an aggregate nominal amount of Shares not exceeding HK$4,440,000.00 (equivalent to 444,000,000 Shares) on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the AGM) (the “ Issuance Mandate ”); and
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (c) to extend the Issuance Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate.
The Repurchase Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the AGM or any earlier date as referred to in the ordinary resolutions contained in items 9 and 10 of the notice of the AGM as set out on pages 21 to 25 of this circular. With reference to the Repurchase Mandate and the Issuance Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase any Shares or issue any new Shares pursuant thereto.
In accordance with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the GEM Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
3. PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT
The Share Option Scheme
The Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company pursuant to a written resolution of the Company conditionally approved by a written resolution of the sole Shareholder passed on 21 September 2011. The Scheme Mandate Limit was set at 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules. Subject to prior Shareholders’ approval, the Company may, at any time thereafter, refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit to the extent not exceeding 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the aforesaid Shareholders’ approval. Share Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as refreshed. The limit on the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes must not exceed 30% of the Shares of the Company (or its subsidiaries) in issue from time to time. No options may be granted under any schemes of the Company (or its subsidiaries) if this will result in the limit being exceeded.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Scheme Mandate Limit
The existing Scheme Mandate Limit (the “ 2013 Scheme Limit ”) was granted at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 25 September 2013, pursuant to which the Directors were authorized to grant Share Options carrying rights to subscribe for up to a maximum number of 222,000,000 Shares, which represented 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of that meeting of 2,220,000,000 Shares. On 17 September 2014, the Board resolved to approve a grant of 154,000,000 Share Options to selected individuals (the “ Grantees ”) as a reward for their contributions to the Company. The validity of such grant was subject to acceptance by the Grantees within 6 months from the date of the offer letters issued on 17 September 2014 (the “ Acceptance Period ”). Upon expiry of the Offer Period on 16 March 2015, 15,000,000 Share Options were accepted by relevant Grantees while the proposed Grantees entitling for the remaining 139,000,000 Share Options had not accepted their respective entitlements. As such, since 25 September 2013 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, 15,000,000 Share Options were successfully granted under the 2013 Scheme Limit and remain outstanding while 139,000,000 Share Options granted but subject to acceptance by relevant Grantees were deemed to have been irrevocably declined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme as the proposed Grantees of the 139,000,000 Share Options had not accepted the offer upon expiry of the Acceptance Period. Since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme on 21 September 2011 up to and including the Latest Practicable Date, save as the above-mentioned 15,000,000 Share Options granted under the 2013 Scheme Limit and remain outstanding, no other Share Options were granted, cancelled, lapsed and exercised, which means the Company had utilised approximately 6.76% of the 2013 Scheme Limit.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 2,220,000,000 Shares currently in issue. Assuming no further Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all the Share Options to be granted under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed will be 222,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and is within the 30% limit in issue from time to time as required by the Share Option Scheme.
In order to provide the Company with greater flexibility in granting Share Options to eligible persons (including employees and Directors) of the Company under the Share Option Scheme and to provide incentives and rewards to the eligible persons for their contribution to the Company, the Board decided to seek the approval of the Shareholders to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM. The Directors consider that the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions of the Refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit
The proposed refreshment of Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:
-
(A) the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit; and
-
(B) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Share Options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.
Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Share Options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.
4. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE DIRECTORS
Pursuant to article 83(3) and 84(2) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Wang Qiang and Mr. Yu Bin, who were appointed as Directors after the 2014 AGM, shall hold office until the AGM and shall then be eligible for re-election at the meeting but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at the AGM. Pursuant to article 84(2) of the Articles of Association, Mr. William Robert Majcher, Mr. Lau Ling Tak and Mr. Yau Yan Ming Raymond shall retire by rotation at the AGM. All of the aforesaid Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for reelection at the AGM.
In accordance with Rule 17.46A of the GEM Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 17.50(2) of the GEM Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed to be new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders’ approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of the above Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
5. THE AGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
The notice of the AGM is set out on pages 21 to 25 of this circular. At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and the Issuance Mandate, the extension of the Issuance Mandate by the addition thereto of the aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and the re-election of the Directors.
Pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, all resolutions will be put to vote by way of poll at the AGM. An announcement on the poll vote results will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.

Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish and in such event, the proxy form shall be deemed to be revoked.
6. RECOMMENDATION
The Directors consider that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate, the granting/extension of the Issuance Mandate, the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit and the re-election of the Directors are in the best interests of the Company, the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.
7. GENERAL INFORMATION

Yours faithfully,
On behalf of the Board Wong Kam Wah Executive Director

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 2,220,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 9 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$2,220,000 (equivalent to 222,000,000 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.

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 2015) 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 are illustrated in following table:

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Notes:
-
The letter (L) denotes the person’s long position in such securities.
-
Ms. Ho Chiu Ha Maisy has a total interest in 563,062,500 shares/underlying shares (representing an aggregate of approximately 25.36% shareholding in the Company), of which (i) 87,062,500 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 87,062,500 shares of the Company through Refulgent Sunrise Limited by virtue of the SFO; (ii) Ms. Ho Chiu Ha Maisy personal held 336,000,000 shares; and (iii) 140,000,000 shares relate to her derivative interests in the Convertible Bonds through her shareholding in Refulgent Sunrise Limited.
-
The Shares are registered in the name of Kate Glory Limited. Mr. Wong Kam Wah, an executive Director of the Company, is the beneficial owner of the entire issued share capital of Kate Glory Limited. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Wong Kam Wah is deemed to be interested in the 390,000,000 Shares held by Kate Glory Limited.
-
Ms. Ho Chiu Ha Maisy, Mr. Wong Kam Wah, Ms. Man Wing Yee Ginny, Mr. Lau Ling Tak, Mr. Wang Qiang and Mr. Yu Bin 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, 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.
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.
– 11 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
