LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GRANT OF THE NEW ISSUE MANDATE AND THE NEW REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the Company’s last annual general meeting held on 21 August 2012, the Directors were granted a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares with an aggregate value of not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at 21 August 2012 (equivalent to the aggregate nominal amount of HK$13,049,870.04 divided into 1,304,987,004 Shares with a nominal value of HK$0.01 each) (the ‘‘2012 General Mandate’’) and a general mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at 21 August 2012 (equivalent to the aggregate nominal amount of HK$6,524,935.02 divided into 652,493,502 Shares with a nominal value of HK$0.01 each) (the ‘‘2012 Repurchase Mandate’’).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the 2012 General Mandate and the 2012 Repurchase Mandate had not been utilised and/or refreshed and will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

To facilitate future allotment and issue of Shares by the Directors on behalf of the Company, the Directors will seek the approval of the Shareholders for the grant of:

  • (a) the New Issue Mandate;

  • (b) the New Repurchase Mandate; and

  • (c) if the New Issue Mandate is granted, a general mandate to add the aggregate number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the New Repurchase Mandate to the New Issue Mandate, subject to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 6,524,935,021 Shares. Upon passing of the relevant resolutions at the AGM and assuming no further Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed (i) pursuant to the New Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with 1,304,987,004 Shares, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution; and (ii) pursuant to the New Repurchase Mandate to repurchase 652,493,502 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. The Directors have no immediate plans to allot and issue any Shares under the New Issue Mandate.

An explanatory statement giving certain information in respect of the New Repurchase Mandate as required under the Listing Rules to be included in this circular is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of seven Directors, namely Mr. Tang Ching Ho, Ms. Yau Yuk Yin and Mr. Chan Chun Hong, Thomas, as the executive Directors, Dr. Lee Peng Fei, Allen, Mr. Wong Chun, Justein, Mr. Siu Yim Kwan, Sidney and Mr. Siu Kam Chau, as the independent non-executive Directors.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws, Mr. Chan Chun Hong, Thomas, Mr. Wong Chun, Justein and Mr. Siu Kam Chau will retire as Directors by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Each of Mr. Wong Chun, Justein and Mr. Siu Kam Chau had served the Company as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years and pursuant to Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, their further appointment as independent non-executive Directors should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. Nonetheless, the Company believes that both Mr. Wong Chun, Justein and Mr. Siu Kam Chau can independently express opinions on the affairs and contribute to the growth of the Group for the reason that each of Mr. Wong and Mr. Siu has been meeting the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and has not involved in the daily operations and management of the Group.

Biographical details of each of Mr. Chan Chun Hong, Thomas, Mr. Wong Chun, Justein and Mr. Siu Kam Chau required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules are set out in the Appendix II to this circular. If a valid notice from a Shareholder to propose a person to stand for election as a Director at the AGM is received in accordance with the Bye-laws after the printing of this circular, the Company will issue a supplementary circular to inform Shareholders of the details of such additional candidate(s) proposed.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE BYE-LAWS

In light of enhancing the efficiency and cost effectiveness and in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Board proposes to seek the approval of the Shareholders by way of special resolutions to be passed at the AGM for the amendments to the Bye-laws and the adoption of the amended and restated Bye-laws by consolidating the various previous amendments made to the Bye-laws. The major proposed amendments are as follows:

  • (a) clarifying the procedures for removal of auditors before the end of their term of office; and

  • (b) authorising the Board to fill the casual vacancy of auditors of the Company without first obtaining Shareholders’ approval at the special general meeting of the Company.

Details of the proposed amendments to the Bye-laws are set out in the notice of the AGM. As no Shareholder has a material interest in such amendments, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the special resolution(s) to approve the amendments to the Bye-laws at the AGM.

Shareholders are advised that the Bye-laws are available only in English and the Chinese translation of the amendments to the Bye-laws provided in the notice of the AGM in Chinese is for reference only. In case of any inconsistency, the English version shall prevail.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Group.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE NEW REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the New Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was HK$65,249,350.21 comprising 6,524,935,021 Shares with a nominal value of HK$0.01 each and 23,912,351 Share Options granted under the 2002 Share Option Scheme remained outstanding entitling the holders of the Share Options to subscribe for an aggregate of 23,912,351 Shares. If such outstanding Share Options were exercised in full on or prior to the date of the AGM, a further 23,912,351 Shares would be in issue.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution(s) as set out in the notice of the AGM, assuming no further Shares are/will be issued and/or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Directors will be authorised to repurchase an aggregate nominal amount up to HK$6,524,935.02 (representing 652,493,502 Shares with a nominal value of HK$0.01 each) pursuant to the New Repurchase Mandate. Assuming that (i) all outstanding Share Options are exercised in full on or before the date of the AGM; and (ii) no further Shares are/will be issued and/or repurchased by the Company, the total number of Shares in issue will be 6,548,847,372 Shares and the Directors will be authorised to repurchase Shares with an aggregate nominal amount up to HK$6,548,847.37 (representing 654,884,737 Shares with a nominal value of HK$0.01 each).

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/ or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Company must fund the repurchase entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association, the Bye-laws, the laws of Bermuda and other applicable laws.

There will not be any material adverse impact on the working capital requirement or gearing level of the Company as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements set out in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2013 in the event that the New Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

– I-1 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE NEW REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The Directors do not propose to exercise the New Repurchase Mandate to such extent as could, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirement or the gearing level of the Company.

4. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates, have any present intention, in the event that the New Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, to sell any Shares to the Company under the New Repurchase Mandate.

No connected persons has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that he has undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him to the Company, in the event that the New Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders at the AGM.

5. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the New Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda so far as the same may be applicable.

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the New 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 purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of such increase, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Tang Ching Ho, the chairman of the Company, and parties acting in concert with him were interested or deemed to be interested in approximately 26.30% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise the power to repurchase Shares under the New Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholding of Mr. Tang Ching Ho and parties acting in concert with him will be increased to approximately 29.22% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the New Repurchase Mandate. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to the extent that the aggregate amount of the share capital of the Company in public hands would be reduced to less than 25%.
