In accordance with Article 157 of the Articles, Mr. CHEE Man Sang, Eric (“Mr. Chee”), Mr. Michael STOCKFORD (“Mr. Stockford”) and Ms. YU Tin Yan, Winnie (“Ms. Yu”) will retire from office of Directors by rotation at the AGM. Mr. Chee and Ms. Yu, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.
Mr. Stockford will not offer himself for re-election as he would like to spend more time pursuing alternative business opportunities and accordingly will retire as an executive Director upon the conclusion of the AGM. Mr. Stockford has confirmed that he has no disagreement with the Board and there are no matters that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders in respect of his retirement. The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Stockford for his valuable contributions and service to the Company during his tenure of office.
The Board has assessed the independence of Ms. Yu including reviewing her annual written confirmation of independence to the Company pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. During her years of appointment, Ms. Yu has demonstrated the ability to provide an independent view to the Company’s matters. The Board is satisfied that Ms. Yu has the required character, integrity and experience to continuously fulfil her role as an independent non-executive Director effectively and thus recommends Ms. Yu for re-election at the AGM. Further, the Board is of the view that Ms. Yu 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.
Mr. MUNG Bun Man, Alan was appointed as an executive Director on 31 March 2014 and he shall hold the office of Director until the AGM pursuant to Article 123 of the Articles and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election as a Director at the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules, to be included in this circular concerning the general mandate to repurchase Shares proposed to be granted to the Directors at the AGM.
1. LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of Shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by Shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the Shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,597,866,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of relevant resolution to approve the general mandate to repurchase Shares 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 under the said general mandate to repurchase a maximum of 259,786,600 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best 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 repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds or working capital facilities legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.
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 financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2013) in the event that the power to repurchase Shares was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.
– 10 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to repurchase Shares if such general mandate will be granted to them to such 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. SHARE PRICE
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| **Share ** | price | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| May 2013 | 0.064 | 0.052 |
| June 2013 | 0.077 | 0.052 |
| July 2013 | 0.110 | 0.047 |
| August 2013 | 0.102 | 0.069 |
| September 2013 | 0.085 | 0.071 |
| October 2013 | 0.096 | 0.071 |
| November 2013 | 0.091 | 0.072 |
| December 2013 | 0.095 | 0.064 |
| January 2014 | 0.094 | 0.067 |
| February 2014 | 0.079 | 0.068 |
| March 2014 | 0.199 | 0.069 |
| April 2014 | 0.132 | 0.063 |
| May 2014 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.093 | 0.057 |
6. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the general mandate to repurchase Shares if such is approved by the Shareholders.
No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the general mandate to repurchase Shares is approved by the Shareholders.
– 11 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
7. EFFECT OF THE 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders are interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue:
| Number of | Percentage | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Note | Shares | holding |
| TDX | 1 | 780,000,000 | 30.02% |
| Link Chance | 2 | 300,000,000 | 11.55% |
Notes:
-
These shares were registered in the name of and were beneficially owned by TDX, a company in which Mr. MUNG Kin Keung, an executive director and chairman of the Company, holds 99.99% equity interests. Therefore, Mr. MUNG Kin Keung is deemed to have an interest in the Shares in which TDX is interested.
-
These shares were registered in the name of and were beneficially owned by Link Chance, a company in which Searainbow Holding Corporation (“Searainbow”), a company listed on The Shenzhen Stock Exchange, is the parent company of Link Chance. Therefore, Searainbow is deemed to have an interest in the Shares in which Link Chance is interested.
In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the shareholdings of TDX and Link Chance will be increased to approximately 33.36% and 12.83% of the issued share capital of the Company respectively.
As a result, TDX (and parties acting in concert with it) may be required to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Company has no present intention to repurchase Shares to such extent that an obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code will be triggered.
8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
