Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSALS FOR RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS, GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of certain resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. The Notice of AGM is set out on pages 12 to 15 of this circular.
2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
At the AGM, Mr. Lo Lin Shing, Simon, Mr. Ho Hau Chong, Norman and Mr. Lo, Rex Cze Kei will retire from office in accordance with article 116 of the Articles and being eligible, offer themselves for reelection.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
3. GENERAL MANDATES
The current general mandates granted to the Directors to issue and repurchase Shares will expire at the conclusion of the AGM. In order to provide flexibility and discretion to the Directors to issue new Shares and repurchase Shares, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors general mandates authorising them (i) to exercise the powers of the Company to allot and issue new Shares up to an amount not exceeding 20% of the Share Capital as at the date of the passing of such resolution; (ii) to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the Share Capital as at the date of the passing of such resolution; and (iii) subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions approving the General Mandates at the AGM, to extend the Issue Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 3,924,190,467 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to approve the General Mandates at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to issue up to a maximum of 784,838,093 Shares under the Issue Mandate and to repurchase up to a maximum of 392,419,046 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.
The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole if the General Mandates are granted at the AGM. The Issue Mandate provides the Directors with flexibility to issue Shares especially in the context of a fund raising exercise in a timely manner or a transaction involving an acquisition by the Group where Shares are to be issued as consideration and which has to be completed speedily. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors had no present intention of any acquisition by the Company nor any present plan for raising capital by issuing new Shares under the proposed Issue Mandate.
The Company at present does not have any plan for repurchases of Shares. Repurchase will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Repurchase Mandate can provide more flexibility to the Directors to enhance the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share. The General Mandates, if approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, will continue until whichever is the earliest of:
-
(i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company;
-
(ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; and
-
(iii) the revocation or variation of such authority by the Shareholders.
An explanatory statement providing all the requisite information concerning the Repurchase Mandate required under the Listing Rules is set out in the Appendix II to this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX II
This is an explanatory statement given to the Shareholders relating to proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to be passed by the Shareholders at the AGM.
This explanatory statement 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 Notice of AGM 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.
Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and before the date of the AGM, there will be 3,924,190,467 Shares in issue and exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would result in up to a maximum of 392,419,046 Shares 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 market. 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 the 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 adverse 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 will automatically be cancelled and the Company must ensure that the corresponding certificates are cancelled and destroyed. Under the 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.
(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$ | |
| 2018 | ||
| October | 0.380 | 0.220 |
| November | 0.410 | 0.290 |
| December | 0.380 | 0.300 |
| 2019 | ||
| January | 0.320 | 0.255 |
| February | 0.360 | 0.270 |
| March | 0.335 | 0.285 |
| April | 0.340 | 0.295 |
| May | 0.315 | 0.241 |
| June | 0.260 | 0.220 |
| July | 0.222 | 0.190 |
| August | 0.220 | 0.169 |
| September | 0.220 | 0.173 |
| October (Up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.204 | 0.196 |
(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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
- 10 -
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX II
As at the latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Lo Lin Shing, Simon (“ Mr. Lo ”), chairman and executive Director, by himself and through his wholly-owned company, Moral Glory International Limited, held approximately 31.8% of the Share Capital. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the aggregate shareholding of Mr. Lo in the Company would increase to approximately 35.3% of the Share Capital. The Directors consider that such increase may give rise to an obligation on the part of Mr. Lo to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in such takeover obligation. Besides, the Directors have no present intention to repurchase Shares to an extent which will result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25.0%.
(8) GENERAL
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close 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.
No core 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.
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, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
