(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
(Stock Code: 862)
Executive Directors: Mr. Lo Lin Shing, Simon (Chairman) Mr. Ho Hau Chong, Norman
Independent Non-executive Directors: Mr. Tsui Hing Chuen, William JP Mr. Lau Wai Piu Mr. Lee Kee Wai, Frank

Head office and principal place of business in Hong Kong: Units 902–03, 9/F Shui Hing Centre 13 Sheung Yuet Road Kowloon Bay Hong Kong 6 October 2016
To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSALS FOR RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES, PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION, 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 to be held on 15 November 2016. The Notice of AGM is set out on pages 18 to 22 of this circular.
Reference is also made to the announcement dated 15 September 2016 in relation to the Capital Reduction.
2. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the forthcoming AGM, Mr. Ho Hau Chong, Norman and Mr. Lee Kee Wai, Frank shall 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, a listed issuer shall disclose the brief biographical and other details of any Directors proposed to be re-elected under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix I.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Mr. Lee Kee Wai, Frank, being an independent non-executive Director of the Company eligible for re-election at the AGM, has made an annual confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Mr. Lee has served as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years. Notwithstanding his years of service as an independent non-executive Director of the Company, the Board is of the view that Mr. Lee is able to continue to fulfill his independence role as required and thus recommends him for re-election at the AGM. Further, the Company is of the view that Mr. Lee meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the terms of the guidelines.
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 2,591,838,892 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 will be 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 518,367,778 Shares under the Issue Mandate and to repurchase up to a maximum of 259,183,889 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.
– 6 –
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. THE CAPITAL REDUCTION
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$2,000,000,000.00 divided into 20,000,000,000 Shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.10 each, of which 2,591,838,892 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.
The Board proposes that:
-
(i) the share capital of the Company be reduced in the following manner: (i) the issued share capital of the Company be reduced by the cancellation of HK$0.09 paid up capital on each issued share so that each issued share shall be treated as one fully paid up share of par value HK$0.01 in the capital of the Company; and (ii) the par value of each authorised but unissued share be reduced from HK$0.10 to HK$0.01, such that the authorised share capital of the Company shall be reduced from HK$2,000,000,000.00 to HK$200,000,000.00; and
-
(ii) the credit arising from the Capital Reduction be applied towards offsetting the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the accumulated losses of the Company, and the balance (if any) be transferred to the share premium account of the Company which may be applied as a distributable reserve in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and all applicable laws and rules including the Listing Rules and as the Board considers appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(a) Effect of the Capital Reduction
The following table sets out the share capital structure of the Company: (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) as it will be immediately upon the Capital Reduction taking effect (assuming for such purposes that no further Shares will be issued and allotted or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date on which the Capital Reduction takes effect):
| Immediately | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at the Latest | upon the Capital | |
| Practicable Date | Reduction taking effect | |
| Nominal or par value | HK$0.10 per Share | HK$0.01 per New Share |
| Amount of the authorised share | HK$2,000,000,000.00 | HK$200,000,000.00 |
| capital | ||
| Number of authorised shares | 20,000,000,000 Shares | 20,000,000,000 New Shares |
| Number of issued shares | 2,591,838,892 Shares | 2,591,838,892 New Shares |
| Amount of the issued share | HK$259,183,889.20 | HK$25,918,388.92 |
| capital | ||
| Number of unissued shares | 17,408,161,108 Shares | 17,408,161,108 New Shares |
| Amount of the unissued share | HK$1,740,816,110.80 | HK$174,081,611.08 |
| capital |
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company’s issued and paid up share capital is HK$259,183,889.20, consisting of 2,591,838,892 issued and fully paid or credited as fully paid Shares of HK$0.10 each. By cancelling HK$0.09 paid up capital on each issued share, the issued and paid up share capital will be reduced by HK$233,265,500.28 to HK$25,918,388.92 (assuming that no further Shares will be issued and allotted or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date on which the Capital Reduction takes effect). The number of issued and fully paid or credited as fully paid Shares is subject to change if Shares are either repurchased or issued and allotted between the Latest Practicable Date and the date on which the Capital Reduction takes effect, including as a result of the potential issue of up to 97,960,713 Shares pursuant to the exercise of share options granted under the share option scheme of the Company to subscribe for Shares that are currently outstanding and exercisable. The final HK$ amount by which the issued and paid up share capital of the Company will be reduced by the Capital Reduction will therefore be determined by the number of Shares in issue and fully paid or credited as fully paid Shares at the time the Capital Reduction takes effect. The Capital Reduction will also result in the authorised share
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
capital of the Company being reduced from HK$2,000,000,000.00 (consisting of 20,000,000,000 Shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.10 each) to HK$200,000,000.00 (consisting of 20,000,000,000 Shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.01 each).
(b) Conditions for the Capital Reduction
The Capital Reduction is conditional upon:
-
(i) the passing by the Shareholders at the AGM of a special resolution approving the Capital Reduction;
-
(ii) the approval of the Capital Reduction by the Court;
-
(iii) the compliance with any conditions which the Court may impose in relation to the Capital Reduction;
-
(iv) the registration by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands of the order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and the minutes approved by the Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Law with respect to the Capital Reduction; and
-
(v) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction.
The Capital Reduction will take effect, and trading in the New Shares will commence, upon all the above-mentioned conditions having been satisfied. Upon approval by the Shareholders of the Capital Reduction at the AGM, the legal adviser to the Company (as to Cayman Islands law) will apply to the Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Capital Reduction and further announcement(s) will be made by the Company on the progress of the Capital Reduction as and when appropriate.
(c) Status of the New Shares
The New Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other within the same class and have the same rights and be subject to the restrictions in respect of ordinary shares contained in the Articles of Association of the Company. The Capital Reduction will not result in any change in the rights of the Shareholders.
An application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction. No application is required to be sought from any other stock exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, the New Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the New Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
(d) Board lot size
The board lot size for trading of the New Shares will remain unchanged at 20,000 shares upon the Capital Reduction taking effect.
(e) Free exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Capital Reduction having taken effect, Shareholders may, within one month from the effective date of the Capital Reduction, submit their Existing Share Certificates for the Shares (in Green colour) to the Company’s Branch Share Registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, in exchange for the New Share Certificates for the New Shares (in Purple colour) at the expense of the Company. As the Court hearing date(s) have yet to be fixed, the exact effective date of the Capital Reduction is not ascertainable at present. Further details of such free exchange of share certificates will be announced as soon as the effective date of the Capital Reduction is ascertained.
Following the expiry of the period for free exchange of share certificates, Existing Share Certificates for the Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such amount as may from time to time prescribed in the Listing Rules) payable by the Shareholders for each Existing Share Certificate or New Share Certificate, whichever number of certificates is higher.
Nevertheless, Existing Share Certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title and will be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes after the Capital Reduction has taken effect.
(f) Reasons for the Capital Reduction
As noted, the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the accumulated losses of the Company.
As at 30 June 2016, the accumulated losses of the Company amounted to approximately HK$192,958,000.00 and it is expected that the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will amount to HK$233,265,500.28 (assuming that no further Shares will be issued and allotted or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date on which the Capital Reduction takes effect). The Capital Reduction would, if implemented and to the extent that the credit arising from the Capital Reduction exceeds the accumulated losses of the Company as at and
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
following the effective date of the Capital Reduction, facilitate the Company in its ability to make payment of dividends out of, and/or to undertake corporate exercises requiring the use of, distributable reserves of the Company as and when the Board of Directors considers appropriate in the future.
Accordingly, the Board is of the opinion that the Capital Reduction will give greater flexibility to the Company to declare dividends and/or to undertake any corporate exercise which requires the use of distributable reserves in the future, subject to the Company’s performance and when the Board considers if appropriate to do so in the future. In addition, the Board considers that the Capital Reduction will enable the nominal or par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.10 to HK$0.01 each, thus giving greater flexibility to the Company to raise funds, should the Board consider it prudent or advisable to do so, through the issue of New Shares in the future given that the Company is not permitted, pursuant to the Articles, to issue new Shares below their nominal or par value. It is important for Shareholders to note that, at this stage, there can be no assurance that any dividends will be declared or paid in the future, or that the Company will look to raise funds through the issue of New Shares, even if the Capital Reduction takes effect.
Save for the expenses to be incurred by the Company in implementing the Capital Reduction, the Board considers that the Capital Reduction will have no impact on the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Group or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders in the Company and their respective voting rights. Further, the Capital Reduction does not involve the diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company nor does it involve the repayment to the Shareholders of any paid up capital of the Company. The Board considers that the Capital Reduction will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or on the ability of the Company to continue to meet its obligations to creditors as they fall due.
In view of the above, the Board considers that the Capital Reduction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders at a whole.
5. AGM
The AGM is convened by the Company for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve, together with other ordinary business, the re-election of Directors, the granting of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Capital Reduction.
The Notice of AGM is set out on pages 18 to 22 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 AGM in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less 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.

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 2,591,838,892 Shares in issue and exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would result in up to a maximum of 259,183,889 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 and the Memorandum and Articles of Association. 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 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.

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.
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$ | |||||||
| 2015 | ||||||||
| October | 0.920 | 0.620 | ||||||
| November | 0.830 | 0.480 | ||||||
| December | 0.630 | 0.430 | ||||||
| 2016 | ||||||||
| January | 0.500 | 0.260 | ||||||
| February | 0.500 | 0.260 | ||||||
| March | 0.580 | 0.395 | ||||||
| April | 0.510 | 0.390 | ||||||
| May | 0.410 | 0.310 | ||||||
| June | 0.380 | 0.300 | ||||||
| July | 0.380 | 0.305 | ||||||
| August | 0.345 | 0.270 | ||||||
| September | (Up | to | the | Latest | Practicable | Date) | 0.440 | 0.285 |

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 subsidiary, Moral Glory International Limited, held approximately 32.08% 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 35.65% 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 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, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
