LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES
At the special general meeting of the Company held on 3rd February 2016, (i) the then Shareholders (other than the Directors (excluding independent non-executive Directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates) approved ordinary resolutions to grant to the Directors a general mandate to allot up to 70,141,185 Shares (the “ Existing Issue Mandate ”) and any extension thereof; and (ii) the then Shareholders approved an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors a general mandate to repurchase Shares up to 35,070,592 Shares (the “ Existing Repurchase Mandate ”). As at the Latest Practicable Date, an aggregate of 70,128,000 Shares have been allotted and issued on 17th March 2016 pursuant to a placing agreement entered into on 29th February 2016 at a price of HK$0.40 per Share under the Existing Issue Mandate and the Existing Repurchase Mandate has not been utilized.
The above general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval by way of passing of ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and to extend the Issue Mandate by an amount representing the total number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate, provided that such amount shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution. The full text of these resolutions are set out in resolutions numbered 4 to 6 as set out in the notice of the AGM contained in pages 14 to 17 of this circular. The aforesaid mandates will expire: (a) at the end of the Company’s next annual general meeting following the AGM; (b) at the end of the period within which the Company is required by applicable law or the Bye-laws to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution of the Company in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting following the AGM, whichever is the earliest. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares or repurchase any Shares pursuant thereto.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 420,833,925 Shares, assume no further new Shares to be issued or no Shares to be repurchased prior to the AGM, the Issue Mandate will grant to the Directors an authority to issue up to 84,166,785 new Shares and the Repurchase Mandate will grant to the Directors an authority to repurchase up to 42,083,392 Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
An explanatory statement containing all relevant information relating to the proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement is to provide you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
The Board currently consists of five Directors, namely Mr. Mung Kin Keung (Chairman) and Mr. Mung Bun Man, Alan, Mr. Man Kong Yui, Mr. Fung Wai Ching and Mr. Poon Wai Hoi, Percy.
Pursuant to Bye-law 84(1) of the Bye-laws, Mr. Mung Bun Man, Alan and Mr. Man Kong Yui (“ Mr. Man ”), shall retire from office by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.
Mr. Man, being an independent non-executive Director eligible for re-election at the AGM, has given an annual confirmation of his independence to the Company pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. During his tenure in office, he has demonstrated his abilities to provide an independent view to the Company’s matters. The Board considers that Mr. Man is able to continue to fulfill his role as independent non-executive Director and thus recommends him to be re-elected at the AGM. Furthermore, the Board is of the view that Mr. Man meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the guidelines.
Details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Set out on pages 13 to 17 of this circular is a notice convening the AGM to consider and, if appropriate, to approve, amongst other things, the resolutions relating to the proposals for the Issue Mandate (and any extension thereof), the Repurchase Mandate and the re-election of retiring Directors.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend and/or vote at the AGM in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time of the AGM or any adjournment thereof. 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 wish and in such event, the form of proxy previously submitted shall be deemed to be revoked.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made reasonable enquiries, the Directors confirm that no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the AGM.
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, 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. As such, all the resolutions set out in the notice of AGM will be voted by poll.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors believe that the granting of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of such resolutions at the AGM.
GENERAL
Your attention is also drawn to the appendices to this circular.
MISCELLANEOUS
The English text of this circular shall prevail over the Chinese text for the purpose of interpretation.
Yours faithfully, On behalf of the Board
Global Mastermind Capital Limited Mung Kin Keung Chairman

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution at the AGM to approve the Repurchase Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 420,833,925 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis of no further Shares will be issued or repurchased up to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 42,083,392 Shares, representing 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of the AGM.
3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per Share and/or the 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
Repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the Bye-laws, the Companies Act or any other applicable laws of Bermuda for such purpose.
– 7 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
5. GENERAL
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2015 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate 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.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:–
| Share price per Share | Share price per Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
7. UNDERTAKING
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same 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 pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON
No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
9. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE
If on exercise of the powers of repurchase 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, 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 Shareholder was interested in more than 10% of the Shares in issue:
| Approximate | ||
|---|---|---|
| Shareholder | Number of Shares | Percentage holding |
| China Tian Di Xing Logistics | 104,858,000 | 24.92% |
| Holdings Limited (“TDX”) (Note) |
Note: TDX is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is owned as to 99.99% by Mr. Mung Kin Keung, the chairman of the Company and an executive Director.
– 9 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase the Shares in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate, the total interest of TDX in the Shares would be increased to 27.69%.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, nothing has come to the attention of the Directors that there will be any consequences under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.
10. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
