The AGM Notice is set out on pages 12 to 15 of this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

At the forthcoming AGM, Mr. Ho Hau Chong, Norman and Mr. Tsui Hing Chuen, William, JP will retire from office in accordance with article 116 of the Articles and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, the details of the above retiring directors required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix I.

GENERAL MANDATES

The current general mandates granted to the Directors to issue and repurchase Shares will expire at the conclusion of the AGM. The Directors will ask for renewal of such authorities by proposing resolutions numbered 4, 5 and 6 as ordinary resolutions for consideration and approval of the Shareholders.

In order to provide flexibility and discretion to the Directors to issue new Shares, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted the Issue Mandate to allot and issue new Shares up to an amount not exceeding 20% of the issued capital of the Company at the time of passing such resolution and a separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed to extend the Issue Mandate by adding the aggregate nominal amount of any Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders that the Directors be granted the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the time of passing such resolution. An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information concerning the Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix II to this circular.

AGM AND PROCEDURE FOR DEMANDING A POLL

The AGM Notice is set out on pages 12 to 15 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the AGM is also enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the meeting in person, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to at the office of the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM. Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should you so desire.

  • 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the Articles, at the AGM, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) demanded by:

  • (i) the chairman of the meeting; or

  • (ii) at least five members present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting; or

  • (iii) any member or members present in person or by proxy and representing in aggregate not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all members having the right to attend and vote at the meeting; or

  • (iv) any member or members present in person or by proxy and holding shares conferring a right to attend and vote at the meeting on which there have been paid up sums in the aggregate equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all shares conferring that right; or

  • (v) if required by the Listing Rules, by any Director or Directors who, individually or collectively, hold proxies in respect of shares representing 5% or more of the total voting rights at such meeting.

In addition, under the Listing Rules, if the chairman of the meeting and/or the Directors individually or collectively hold(s) proxies in respect of Shares holding 5% or more of the total voting rights of the Company at the AGM, and if the votes cast at the AGM on a show of hands are in the opposite manner to that instructed in those proxies, then the chairman shall demand a poll. However, if it is apparent from the total proxies held that a vote taken on a poll will not reverse the vote taken on a show of hands, then the chairman shall not be required to demand a poll.

DOCUMENT FOR INSPECTION

Copy of the Articles is available for inspection during normal business hours at the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong at Room 1502-5, New World Tower 1, 16-18 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong from the date of this circular up to and including the date of the AGM and at the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

This is an explanatory statement given to the Shareholders relating to resolution numbered 5 granting the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors. It contains a summary of the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

(1) Exercise of the Repurchase Mandate

Resolution numbered 5 set out in the AGM Notice will, if passed, give a general unconditional mandate to the Directors authorising the repurchase by the Company of the issued and fully paid Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the nominal amount of the share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM. It will be valid until the next annual general meeting unless revoked or varied before such meeting.

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would result in up to a maximum of 9,789,206 Shares (on the basis of 97,892,069 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) being repurchased by the Company.

(2) Reasons for repurchases

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

(3) Funding of repurchases

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles. The laws of Cayman Islands provide that the amount to be paid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or out of capital, provided the Company can, immediately following such payments, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

There might be a material impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company 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 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 which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

  • 9 -

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

(4) Status of repurchased Shares

The Listing Rules provide that the listing of all the Shares repurchased by the Company are automatically cancelled and the Company must ensure that the corresponding certificates are cancelled and destroyed. Under Cayman Islands law, the Shares so repurchased will be treated as having been cancelled.

(5) Share repurchases

The Company has not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six (6) months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

(6) Share prices

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months were as follows:–

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2007
October 6.79 4.03
November 7.49 5.70
December 7.08 6.23
2008
January 7.90 5.00
February 5.80 4.62
March 6.50 4.00
April 5.30 4.02
May 6.40 5.10
June 10.96 6.14
July 9.80 7.70
August 7.80 4.11
September 6.00 3.50
October (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 4.10 2.90
  • 10 -

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

(7) Effect of the Takeovers Code

If, as a result of a share repurchase by the Company, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, 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, depending upon the level of increase in shareholding, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Lo Lin Shing, Simon, chairman and executive Director of the Company, by himself and through this wholly owned Moral Glory International Limited held approximately 56.55% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the aggregate shareholding of Mr. Lo Lin Shing, Simon in the Company would increase to approximately 62.83% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase would not give rise to an obligation on the part of Mr. Lo Lin Shing, Simon to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Besides, the Directors have no present intention to repurchase Shares to an extent which will result in the number Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

(8) General

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
