LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

At the AGM, Mr. Ho Hau Chong, Norman, Mr. Lo, Rex Cze Kei and Mr. Lee Kee Wai, Frank will retire from office in accordance with article 116 of the Articles of the Company and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, brief biographical and other details of the retiring Directors required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix I.

Mr. Lee Kee Wai, Frank, Independent Non-executive Director, who has been serving the Company for more than 9 years. Mr. Lee has confirmed in writing his independence in accordance with the Listing Rules (‘‘Mr. Lee’s Confirmation’’).

The Board has reviewed its structure and composition, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company’s Diversity Policy, Nomination Policy for Recruitment of Board Members and the Company’s corporate strategy, and the independence of all independent non-executive Directors. The Board has recommended the re-election of all the retiring Directors including Mr. Lee who is due to retire at the AGM. The Board is not aware of any circumstances which are likely to affect Mr. Lee’s independence as an independent non-executive Director even though he has served the Company for more than 9 years.

Based on Mr. Lee’s background and Mr. Lee’s Confirmation, the Board is of the view that he is able to continue to fulfil his independent role as required. Mr. Lee has not been involved in any day-to-day management role in the Company nor in any relationships which would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgement. The Company considers that the continuous appointment of Mr. Lee as an Independent Non-executive Director will help to maintain the stability of the Board as he will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. Furthermore, Mr. Lee is fully aware he is responsible for performing functions and discharging duties to the Company through active participation in the Board’s meetings by bringing balance of views as well as knowledge, experience and expertise. Given his historical attendance records, the qualifications and professional experience of Mr. Lee, the Board is of the view that the continuing service of Mr. Lee in the Company is beneficial to the Group and thus considers that Mr. Lee should be re-elected at the AGM.

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.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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.

4. ADOPTION OF NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Existing Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 23 November 2011 and will expire on 22 November 2021. Therefore, the Directors propose to adopt the New Share Option Scheme, the principal terms of which are set out in Appendix III to this circular. The adoption of the New Share Option Scheme is conditional upon (i) the approval of the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme by the Shareholders at the AGM; and (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of the Options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme.

The purposes of the New Share Option Scheme are:

  • (a) to enable the Group to recruit and retain high calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group; and

  • (b) to provide an incentive or reward to the Eligible Persons for their contributions to the growth and development, and continuing efforts to promote the interests, of the Group and/or any Invested Entity.

The Directors consider that the New Share Option Scheme will provide the Grantees with the opportunity to acquire proprietary interests in the Company and will encourage the Grantees to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and the Shares for the benefits of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 3,924,190,467 Shares in issue. Assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options which may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company would be 392,419,046 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date.

The New Share Option Scheme does not specify a minimum period for which an Option must be held nor a performance target which must be achieved before an Option can be exercised. However, the rules of the New Share Option Scheme provide that the Board may determine, at its sole discretion, such terms and conditions on the grant of an Option. This determination may vary on a case by case basis but such conditions will not be inconsistent with any terms and conditions of the New Share Option Scheme. The basis for the determination of the subscription price is specified in the rules of the New Share Option Scheme.

Comparing with the one-off cash reward, the Board considers that the Options, in form of noncash reward, will provide incentives for continuous contribution from the Eligible Persons. The Directors are of the view that apart from directors and employees, the growth, development and success of a company needs to be supported and contributed by a variety of parties including its suppliers, advisers agents, consultants, contractors, and entities which the Company has interest. The grant of Options under the New Share Option Scheme will provide incentive, and help develop and foster a solid relationship between the Eligible Persons and the Group in the long run. In particular, the Directors consider that:

  • (a) for suppliers, advisers, agent, consultants and contractors of the Group, the Options will serve as an incentive to draw in such talents who usually possess the expertise or experiences, such as experiences with local markets, or connections in the new markets, and other professionalism which the employees of the Group may not possess; and

  • (b) for executives of the Invested Entity, the Options can serve as a reward to encourage co-operation and better collaboration between the Group and the Invested Entity for pursuing the growth and expansion of the businesses of the Group, and for formation of any joint ventures with business partners to contribute to the growth and expansion of the Group.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group is engaging in several sectors of businesses including provision of network solutions and project services, property investment, yacht building, minerals exploration, aircraft management and the newly set up logistic business. Some of the business sectors are in the active development stage and the Group is desirous to have all classes of talented people to assist its growth. Apart from the Group’s employees, the Group requires contribution from these outstanding parties to achieve its goal. These categories of persons will include suppliers, advisers, agent, consultants or contractors. Besides their normal compensation for their contribution and services, it is necessary to maintain long term and sustainable business relationship with these parties and to align the interest of such parties with the Group under the incentive of share options. The Board is of the view that the grant of share options to such parties will provide incentive to them for their contribution to the Group, help to achieve its goal, and will bring in more opportunities to the Group. These parties are usually seasoned people in their own fields and professionals with many business connections which the Group may not be able to recruit them as employees. The grant of share options to these capable people may fill the gap and to foster the relationship with them. The Board believes that through the grant of share options, such Eligible Persons will have a common goal as the Group in the growth and development of the Group’s businesses, and they could participate in the future prospect of the Group and share the additional reward through their sustainable contribution.

In respect of Invested Entity, apart from the suppliers, advisers, agents, consultants or contractors, the Company considers that it is necessary to ensure that the New Share Option Scheme is wide enough to cover those individuals and entities that the Group has or will be invested in. The inclusion of the Invested Entity as eligible participant under the New Share Option Scheme, similar to other categories of eligible participants, could provide incentive to these participants to bring in more business opportunities to and closer cooperation with the Group. If the Group’s interest in an invested entity is over 20%, it is an associated company to the Group, and the Group could share the results of these associated companies. As the Group has over 30% interest or over in the Invested Entity, the Group’s interest is aligned with them. If an Invested Entity develops well, the Group will directly and indirectly benefit from their growth. The New Share Option Scheme may allow the Company to have flexibility to provide incentive to these parties and reward for their contribution to the Group or an Invested Entity, and to consolidate their loyalty and business relationship with the Group and the Invested Entity. Before making an offer for grant of any share option, the Board will also consider the Company’s direct and indirect shareholding percentage in these entities, and the extent of benefits and synergies these entities brought into the Group. While the Invested Entity is not a member of the Group, the Group still has significant interest in such entities as explained, and it is justified to include them as eligible participants under the New Share Option Scheme.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Before making an offer to any Eligible Person for grant of any share option, the Board may consider such factors including their expertise, experience, business connection, industry reputation or extent of business opportunities introduced to the Group. The Board is more inclined and willing to grant share options to such parties having the attributes required by the Group in the running and development of the Group’s businesses. Whether there will be a performance target for the grant of options to the Eligible Persons will depend on each individual on a case-by-case basis.

Based on the above, the Board considers that the inclusion of persons abovementioned (other than the employees and directors of the Group) as the Eligible Persons is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and will enable the purposes of the New Share Option Scheme to be achieved.

The Directors also consider that it is not appropriate to state the value of all the Options that can be granted under the New Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date prior to the approval of the New Share Option Scheme given that the variables such as the subscription price, exercise period, interest rate, expected volatility and other relevant variables cannot be available for calculating the value of the Options. The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a number of speculative assumptions will not be meaningful to the Shareholders in the circumstances.

None of the Directors is a trustee of the New Share Option Scheme or has any direct or indirect interest in the trustees (if any) of the New Share Option Scheme.

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of the Options which may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no present plan or intention to grant any Options under the New Share Option Scheme in the next 12-month period.

A copy of the New Share Option Scheme is available for inspection at Unit 902, 9th Floor, Shui Hing Centre, 13 Sheung Yuet Road, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong during the normal business hours from the date of this circular and up to and including the date of the AGM, and will also be available for inspection at the AGM.

5. THE EXISTING SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Existing Share Option Scheme will expire on 22 November 2021.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 296,000,000 share options remained outstanding under the Existing Share Option Scheme (the ‘‘Existing Options’’). In respect of the details of the Existing Options granted, please refer to the table set out in Appendix IV to this circular for their respective dates of grant, exercise periods, exercise prices and vesting periods (if applicable).

Upon the expiry of the Existing Share Option Scheme, no further Options would be offered under the Existing Share Option Scheme but the Existing Share Option Scheme would in other respects remain in force to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of the outstanding Existing Options. Any outstanding Existing Options will continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Existing Share Option Scheme.

Other than the Existing Share Option Scheme, the Company did not maintain any other share option scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date.

6. AGM

The Notice of AGM is set out on pages 29 to 34 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the AGM is also enclosed with this circular.

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.

7. VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of such meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The chairman of the AGM will therefore put all resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to be voted by way of poll. An announcement on the results of the vote by poll will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules. None of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM pursuant to the Listing Rules and/or the Articles.

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 6 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.

– 17 –

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$
2020
October 0.300 0.255
November 0.320 0.250
December 0.320 0.240

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 Rules 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 (‘‘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.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX III

4. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION

Initially, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate of the Shares in issue as at the Adoption Date (such 10% limit represents 392,419,046 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) (the ‘‘Scheme Mandate Limit’’). Options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the relevant schemes shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit which may be refreshed by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, provided that:

  • (i) the Scheme Mandate Limit so refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of such Shareholders’ approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit;

  • (ii) options previously granted under the New Share Option Scheme or any other schemes of the Company (including options outstanding, cancelled, or lapsed in accordance with the relevant scheme rules or exercised options) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed; and

  • (iii) a circular regarding the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit has been despatched to the Shareholders in a manner complying with, and containing the matters specified in, the relevant provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

The maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time. If the Company conducts a share consolidation or sub-division after the Scheme Mandate Limit has been approved in a general meeting, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under all of the schemes of the Company under the Scheme Mandate Limit as a percentage of the total number of issued Shares at the date immediately before and after such consolidation or sub-division shall be the same.

The maximum number of Shares (issued and to be issued) upon exercise of the Options granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company (whether exercised, cancelled or outstanding) to any Eligible Person in any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time unless such grant is duly approved by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting at which the relevant Eligible Person and his close associates (or his associates if the Eligible Person is a connected person) shall abstain from voting and the Company shall issue a circular in accordance with the relevant provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

In calculating the aforesaid limit of 1%, the Options that have already lapsed shall not be counted.

Any grant of Options to a Director, chief executive of the Company, substantial shareholder or controlling shareholder of the Company or any of their respective associates must be approved by the independent non-executive Directors (excluding any independent non-executive Director who is a prospective Grantee of the Options).

Where the Options are proposed to be granted to a substantial shareholder of the Company or an independent non-executive Director or any of their respective associates, and the proposed grant of Options, if exercised in full, would result in the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options already granted and to be granted (including options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) to such Eligible Person under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company in the past 12-month period up to and including the Offer Date (i) representing in aggregate more than 0.1% of the total number of issued Shares on the Offer Date; and (ii) having an aggregate value (based on the official closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet on the Offer Date) exceeding HK$5,000,000, the proposed grant shall be subject to the issue of a circular and the approval of the Shareholders in general meeting (taken on a poll) in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules at which such Eligible Person, his associates and all core connected persons of the Company must abstain from voting (but they may vote against the resolution at the general meeting provided that their intention to do so has been stated in the circular).

In calculating the aforesaid limit of 0.1%, the Options that have already lapsed shall not be counted.

If a general offer is made by way of takeover, share repurchase offer or otherwise in a like manner to all the Shareholders (or all such Shareholders other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by offeror and/or any person acting in association or concert with the offeror), the Grantee can only, by notice in writing to the Company within twenty-one (21) days after such offer becoming or being declared unconditional, exercise the Option to its full extent or to the extent specified in such notice.

No such alterations shall operate to affect adversely the terms of issue of any Option granted or agreed to be granted prior to such alterations except with the consent or sanction in writing of such majority of the Grantees as would be required of the Shareholders under the Bye-laws for the time being for a variation of the rights attached to the Shares.

– 26 –

APPENDIX III

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Any alterations to the provisions of the New Share Option Scheme which are of a material nature (except where alterations take effect automatically under the provisions of the New Share Option Scheme) or any change to the terms of Options granted must be approved by the Shareholders in general meeting. The amended terms of (i) the New Share Option Scheme, or (ii) the Options must still comply with the relevant requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. Any change to the authority of the Board in relation to any alterations to the terms of the New Share Option Scheme must be approved by the Shareholders in general meeting.
