LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REFRESHMENT OF THE 10% GENERAL LIMIT ON GRANT OF SHARE OPTIONS UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME(S) OF WYT

WYT adopted its share option scheme at its annual general meeting held on 22 August 2013. The WYT Scheme Mandate Limit was initially set at 10% of the WYT shares as at the date of the adoption of the share option scheme of WYT, being 293,114,296 shares with a nominal value of HK$0.01 each (the “ WYT 2013 Scheme Mandate Limit ”). The WYT 2013 Scheme Mandate Limit was refreshed on 20 August 2015 (equivalent to 632,571,445 WYT shares with a nominal value of HK$0.01 each), which was reduced to 31,628,572 WYT shares with a nominal value of HK$0.01) (the “ WYT 2015 Refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit ”) upon completion of its capital reorganisation, details of which were set up in WYT’s announcement and circular dated 1 February 2016 and 19 February 2016, respectively.

Since then and as at the Latest Practicable Date, WYT’s total number of shares was significantly increased to 1,265,142,888 with a nominal value of HK$0.01 each and the WYT 2015 Refreshed Scheme Mandate Limited of 31,628,572 WYT shares representing approximately 2.5% of WYT’s existing total number of WYT shares in issue. Assuming that no further shares of WYT will be issued or repurchased prior to the date of approval of the refreshment of the WYT Scheme Mandate Limit, WYT will be entitled under the WYT Scheme Mandate Limit to grant further share options carrying the rights to subscribe for up to 126,514,288 shares in WYT, representing 10% of the WYT Shares in issue as the date of the approval of the refreshed WYT Scheme Mandate Limit by the shareholders of WYT.

The Directors consider that the refreshment of the WYT Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole because it would enable WYT to reward and motivate eligible participants to contribute to the success of WYT Group, being also subsidiaries of the Company.

The proposal for refreshment of the WYT Scheme Mandate Limit is, subject to:-

  • (i) the shareholders of WYT passing an ordinary resolution to approve the refreshment of the WYT Scheme Mandate Limit at the forthcoming annual general meeting of WYT;

  • (ii) in accordance with Rule 17.01(4) of the Listing Rules, the Shareholders passing an ordinary resolution to approve the refreshment of the WYT Scheme Mandate Limit at the AGM; and

  • (iii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the shares to be issued upon exercise of any share options granted under the refreshed general limit of the share option scheme(s) of WYT.

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 9 August 2016, the Directors were granted a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares with an aggregate number of not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at 9 August 2016 (equivalent to an aggregate of 3,857,704,009 Shares) (the “ 2016 General Mandate ”) and a general mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 9 August 2016 (equivalent to an aggregate of 1,928,852,004 Shares) (the “ 2016 Repurchase Mandate ”).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the 2016 General Mandate and the 2016 Repurchase Mandate had not been utilised and refreshed and they will expire upon 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 total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 19,288,520,047. 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 3,857,704,009 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution; and (ii) pursuant to the New Repurchase Mandate to repurchase 1,928,852,004 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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.

Pursuant to Bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws, Mr. Tang Ching Ho, Ms. Yau Yuk Yin and Mr. Siu Kam Chau will retire as Directors by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Mr. Siu Kam Chau had served the Company as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years and pursuant to Corporate Governance Code under Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, his further appointment as an independent non-executive Director should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. Nonetheless, the Company believes that Mr. Siu Kam Chau can independently express opinions on the affairs and contribute to the growth of the Group for the reason that Mr. Siu continuously meeting the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and has not involved in any daily operation and management of the Group. Biographical details of each of Mr. Tang Ching Ho, Ms. Yau Yuk Yin 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.

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. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE NEW REPURCHASE MANDATE

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 total number of Shares in issue was 19,288,520,047 and there was no outstanding Share Option under the 2012 Share Option Scheme or any outstanding convertible notes or options carrying the rights to subscribe for any Shares.

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 up to 1,928,852,004 Shares pursuant to the New Repurchase Mandate.

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 2017 in the event that the New Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

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.

– I-1 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE NEW REPURCHASE MANDATE

4. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close 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 core 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 (as defined in the Takeovers Code) with him were interested or deemed to be interested in approximately 51.76% of the total number of Shares in issue. 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 57.51% of the total number of Shares in issue.

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%.
