SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SGM

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SGM

The Company does not in any way wish to diminish the opportunity available to members to exercise their rights and to vote, but is conscious of the need to protect the SGM attendees from possible exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the sake of health and safety of the SGM attendees, and in light of the latest Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation (Chapter 599G of the Laws of Hong Kong), the Company would be adapting the arrangements for the SGM to minimise attendance in person, while still enabling members to vote and ask questions. Details of the special arrangements for the SGM are set out below.

ATTENDING THE SGM BY MEANS OF ELECTRONIC FACILITIES

The SGM will be a hybrid meeting. The SGM will be held with the minimum number of persons present as is required under the Bye-laws of the Company to form a quorate meeting, together with a limited number of other attendees to ensure the proper conduct of the Meeting. The quorum will be formed by the senior management members and/or senior staff members of the Company who are members and/or their proxies to maintain an internal grouping and minimise the continuing risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic at the SGM.

Given the above reasons, NO other member, proxy or corporate representative should attend the SGM in person. Other than those in the quorum and the limited number of other attendees to ensure the proper conduct of the Meeting, any other person who attempts to do so will be excluded and will not be permitted entry to the venue of the SGM.

The Company strongly encourages members to attend, participate and vote at the SGM through online access by visiting the Tricor e-Meeting System provided by the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited. Members participating in the SGM using the Tricor e-Meeting System will also be counted towards the quorum and they will be able to view the live broadcast, cast their vote and submit questions through the Tricor e-Meeting System.

The Tricor e-Meeting System permits a “split vote” on a resolution, in other words, a member casting his/her/its votes through the Tricor e-Meeting System does not have to vote all of his/her/its shares in the same way (“For” or “Against”). In the case of a proxy/corporate representative, he/she can vote such number of shares in respect of which he/she has been appointed as a proxy/corporate representative. Votes cast through the Tricor e-Meeting System are irrevocable once the votes have been casted. The Tricor e-Meeting System will be opened for registered members and non-registered members (see below for login details and arrangements) to log in approximately 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the SGM and can be accessed from any location with internet connection by a mobile phone, tablet or computer. Members should allow ample time to check into the Tricor e-Meeting System to complete the related procedures. Please refer to the Online Meeting User Guide in relation to the procedures of the online meeting at https://spot-emeeting.tricor.hk/#/258.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SGM

Registered members

Registered members will be able to attend the SGM, vote and submit questions online through the Tricor e-Meeting System. Each registered member’s personalised username and password will be sent to him/her/it under separate letter.

Non-registered members

Non-registered members whose shares are held in the Central Clearing and Settlement System through bank, stockbroker, custodians or Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (collectively the “ Intermediary ”) may also be able to attend the SGM, vote and submit questions online through the Tricor e-Meeting System. In this regard, they should:

  • (i) contact and instruct their Intermediary to appoint themselves as proxy or corporate representative to attend the SGM; and

  • (ii) provide their email address(es) to their Intermediary before the time limit required by the relevant Intermediary.

Details regarding the SGM arrangements including login details to access the Tricor e-Meeting System will be sent by the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, to the email address(es) of the non-registered members provided by the Intermediary. Any non-registered member who has provided an email address through the relevant Intermediary for this purpose but has not received the login details by email by 11:30 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on Monday, 9 May 2022 should reach out to Tricor Tengis Limited for assistance. Without the login details, non-registered members will not be able to participate and vote using the Tricor e-Meeting System. Non-registered members should therefore give clear and specific instructions to their Intermediary in respect of both (i) and (ii) above.

Registered and non-registered members should note that only one device is allowed per login. Please also keep the login details in safe custody for use at the SGM and do not disclose them to anyone else. Neither the Company nor its agents assume any obligation or liability whatsoever in connection with the transmission of the login details or any use of the login details for voting or otherwise.

QUESTIONS AT AND PRIOR TO THE SGM

Members attending the SGM using the Tricor e-Meeting System will be able to submit questions relevant to the proposed resolution(s) online during the SGM. Members can also send their questions by email to the Company via [email protected] before the SGM. The Board and/or the management will endeavour to address substantial and relevant questions in relation to the resolution(s) to be tabled for approval at the SGM and may decide, at their discretion, which questions to respond to.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SGM

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Members are encouraged to submit their completed proxy forms and appoint the chairman of the SGM as their proxy well in advance of the SGM. Return of a completed proxy form will not preclude members from attending and voting by means of electronic facilities at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should they subsequently so wish. Members are requested (a) to complete the accompanying proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong; or (b) to submit the proxy form electronically at https://spot-emeeting.tricor.hk/#/258 in accordance with the instructions printed on the accompanying notification letter, in each case as soon as possible but in any event no later than 11:30 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on Sunday, 8 May 2022, or not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Registered members submitting the proxy form are requested to provide a valid email address of his or her proxy (except appointment of the chairman of the SGM) for the proxy to receive the username and password to participate the online virtual meeting via the Tricor e-Meeting System.

Due to the constantly evolving COVID-19 pandemic situation in Hong Kong, the Company may be required to change or adopt contingency plans for the SGM arrangements at short notice.

(2) NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement dated 18 February 2022 jointly issued by the Company and WOP in relation to the Disposal.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, the details of the Disposal as required under the Listing Rules.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

BACKGROUND

Reference is made to the Announcement of the Company and WOP dated 8 November 2021 in relation to, among other things, the formation of the joint venture in respect of the JV Company (an indirect 50%-owned joint venture of WOP) to engage in the acquisition of residential properties in Hong Kong within certain Investment Criteria as agreed with the APG JV Partner (being the owner of the remaining 50% interest in the JV Company) for development and re-development for sale.

The Target Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of WOP and the sole owner of the Seed Project, which the WOP Group has recently completed its acquisition of. The board of WOP and the JV Company have both agreed that this project will fall within the Investment Criteria and on 18 February 2022, the Seller (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of WOP) entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with the JV Company in relation to the disposal of the Seed Project to the JV Company, pursuant to which the Seller conditionally agreed to sell and the JV Company conditionally agreed to purchase (a) the entire issued share capital of the Target Company (i.e the Sale Share); and (b) the shareholder’s loan owing by the Target Company to the Seller as at the Completion Date (i.e. the Shareholder’s Loan), at the aggregate consideration of HK$490,732,000 (subject to adjustment) subject to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

On 11 April 2022, the Seller entered into the Supplemental Agreement with the JV Company and the Buyer to amend and supplement the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the JV Company agreed to novate and the Buyer agreed to assume all rights and obligations of the JV Company in and under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Save for the said revisions, all other terms under the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) remain the same.

THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Date

18 February 2022

Parties

  • (i) The Seller, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of WOP, as seller

  • (ii) The JV Company, an indirect 50%-owned joint venture of WOP and owned as to the remaining 50% interest by the APG JV Partner, as buyer

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the APG JV Partner and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) is a third party independent of the Company and its respective connected persons.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject matter

The Sale Share, representing the entire issued share capital of the Target Company, and the Shareholder’s Loan owing by the Target Company to the Seller. The Sale Share is sold free from encumbrances save for the Bank Loan Securities.

The Target Company directly holds 100% legal and beneficial ownership of the Seed Project. The Seed Project is sold on an “as-is” basis free from encumbrances save for certain existing tenancies, further details of which are set out below in this circular, and the Bank Loan Securities.

Consideration

The consideration for the Target Company shall be an initial sum of HK$490,732,000 payable to the Seller on Completion (the “ Consideration ”). The Consideration shall be adjusted such that an amount equal to the difference between the initial sum for the Target Company and the Net Asset Value shall be added to (if the Net Asset Value as at Completion is higher than the initial sum) or deducted from (if the Net Asset Value as at Completion is lower than the initial sum) the Consideration.

The Consideration for the Target Company was determined based on arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to the WOP Group’s investment cost in respect of the Seed Project. As the re-development of the Seed Project has not yet commenced, the Directors consider that it is fair and reasonable to determine the Consideration for the Target Company based on the investment cost, comprising principally of the acquisition cost of the Seed Project incurred and estimated to be required for completing the acquisition of the Seed Project since November 2021 in the amount of approximately HK$403.1 million, together with other stamp duty, construction and legal costs, consultancy fees and interest expenses to be incurred up to Completion, which is expected to be in the amount of approximately HK$87.6 million, instead of the market value of the Seed Project.

Condition precedent

Completion is conditional upon the approval by the Shareholders and the shareholders of WOP for the Seller to enter into the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) having been obtained and/or any other requirements required to be fulfilled under the Listing Rules before Completion having been fulfilled.

If the condition precedent set out above is not fulfilled on or before the date falling within 6 months from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) (or such later date as the parties may agree in writing), the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) shall terminate automatically.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the condition precedent set out above has not been fulfilled save that WOP has obtained a written shareholders’ approval from Earnest Spot Limited, the controlling shareholder holding 11,400,000,000 Shares, representing 75% of the total issued shares of WOP, as at the Latest Practicable Date, in lieu of holding a special general meeting to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) and the Disposal in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

Completion

Completion shall take place following the satisfaction of the condition precedent set out above or on such other date as agreed between the parties (the “ Completion Date ”).

Upon Completion, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Group and its financial results will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group but the WOP Group will still hold an indirect 50% interest in the Target Company through the JV Company.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

On 11 April 2022, the Seller entered into the Supplemental Agreement with the JV Company and the Buyer (a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the JV Company) to amend and supplement the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the JV Company agreed to novate and the Buyer agreed to assume all rights and obligations of the JV Company in and under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Save for the said revisions, all other terms under the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) remain the same. Accordingly, the JV Company was released from any obligations under the Sale and Purchase Agreement to be performed from the effective date of the Supplemental Agreement (i.e. 11 April 2022).

INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY AND THE SEED PROJECT

The Target Company is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability for property holding purpose with no other major assets besides its direct interests in the Seed Project. The Target Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of WOP prior to Completion.

The Seed Project comprises the residential and commercial units located at Nos. 12-16, 18-20, 22 and 24 Ting Yip Street, Ngau Tau Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong, with a total gross floor area of approximately 46,000 square feet, part of which is subject to existing tenancies expiring in or before April 2023 with an aggregate monthly rent of approximately HK$80,300. The WOP Group will be retained as the asset manager of the Seed Project to provide property asset management services to the JV Company and its subsidiaries from time to time for a management fee comprising a fixed fee and a performance fee determined with reference to the performance of property projects managed by the asset manager, and it is the intention of the WOP Group to re-develop the Seed Project as residential and commercial/mixed use property for sale through the JV Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Directors consider that the Disposal will allow the Company to operate the Seed Project through the JV Company, which is expected to improve the liquidity of the Company. Accordingly, the Disposal will enable WOP to reallocate its resources into future investment opportunities and pursue other growth opportunities, respectively. The Disposal will also help the WOP Group to expand its property asset management business for additional stable property asset management fee.

The Directors consider that the Disposal and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Disposal exceeds 25% but is less than 75% for the Company, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The whole Hong Kong society and economy is adversely affected by the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic since early 2022.

In respect of the Group’s property development business, with the success of the pre-sales of The Met. Azure in August 2021, the growth momentum and branding of the Group’s property development business are expected to be further improved. The Group will continue to seek to replenishes its land bank by participating in public tender, old building acquisition and land use conversion. In the asset management and property investment sector, the Group will keep seeking new opportunities to broaden its portfolio for a stable recurring income base and input more environmentally sustainable and socially responsible elements into its assets.

The environment for fresh market operations will become more competitive as the number of fresh markets and operators have increased and also as a result of the gradual acceptance of online shopping and delivery services. The unprecedented scale of COVID-19 pandemic affects the fresh market operation as citizens tended to hide from outdoors activities. While the Government continue to roll out easing measures to the tenants, it has reduced some pressure for these tenants. On the other hand, when the pandemic situation will become over sooner or later, the Group will continue to expand its fresh market portfolio by collaborating with landlords and identifying opportunities to acquire additional fresh markets in both public and private sectors in Hong Kong to strengthen its recurring income. Moreover, the Group will also devote more resources in developing delivery services for fresh market.

The pandemic has hit the tourism market which has led to a decrease in mainland China tourist visits, which may continue to curtail and negatively impact retail performance. It is also expected that the quarantine arrangement between Hong Kong and mainland China will be prolonged. Moreover, the Hong Kong citizens are more concerns and worry about the pandemic situation and it is expected that huge increase in spendings on medication and nutritional supplements to help fighting against the pandemic. Moreover, the Hong Kong government has announced the launch of consumption voucher scheme with increased amount which will mitigate the unfavorable economic situation of Hong Kong and benefit the WYT Group as a retailer and a Chinese medicine practitioner in Hong Kong.

The Group will continue to closely monitor the performance of its distribution channels and retail network and the Group will continue to leverage its brand value to strengthen its partnerships and boost its franchising model to maximise its retail exposure and lower overall operational risk and costs.

6. LITIGATION

  • (i) In 2007, the CAP Group acquired Wuhan Baisazhou Agricultural By-Product Grand Market Company Limited (“ Baisazhou Agricultural ”) from independent third parties, Ms. Wang Xiu Qun (“ Ms. Wang ”) and Wuhan Tian Jiu Industrial and Commercial Development Co., Ltd (“ Tian Jiu ”) for their respective 70% and 20% interest in Baisazhou Agricultural (the “ Baisazhou Acquisition ”). Since 2011, the CAP Group has been involved in a number of civil proceedings in Mainland China and Hong Kong. The key civil proceedings in Mainland China and Hong Kong in respect of the Baisazhou Acquisition are set out below:

In May 2015, Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu commenced proceedings against the PRC Ministry of Commerce (“ MOFCOM ”) in the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court, seeking, inter alia, a direction that MOFCOM revoke its approval in respect of the Baisazhou Acquisition. It is alleged by Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu that (a) Baisazhou Agricultural forged share transfer agreements (the “ Contended Agreements ”) in relation to the Baisazhou Acquisition wherein the related consideration was understated and the manner of settlement of the consideration was inaccurately described; (b) Baisazhou Agricultural forged the related documentation for filing with MOFCOM and the Hubei Administration For Industry and Commerce (the “ Hubei AIC ”), and that such documentation and the Contended Agreements involved forged signatures; and (c) MOFCOM and the Hubei AIC approved the Baisazhou Acquisition and processed the related fillings on the basis of the above documents that are allegedly forged. In December 2015, the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court directed MOFCOM to reconsider its approval decision. In May 2016, MOFCOM decided that its approval issued in relation to the Contended Agreements shall not be revoked and shall remain to be in force (the “ Reconsidered Decision ”).

In August 2016, Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu commenced administrative proceedings against MOFCOM in the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court seeking to set aside the Reconsidered Decision. In March 2017, the Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court dismissed the application of Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu (“ 31 March Judgment ”). On 20 December 2018, the Beijing Higher People’s Court upheld the 31 March Judgment (“ 20 December Judgment ”) and Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu applied to the Supreme People’s Court for a retrial and for dismissal of (i) the 31 March Judgment, and (ii) the 20 December Judgment, but this application was dismissed by the Supreme People’s Court on 29 December 2020. As advised by CAP’s PRC legal advisor, the approval issued by MOFCOM in 2007 in relation to the Contended Agreements shall not be revoked and remain to be in force, and the CAP Group continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of Baisazhou Agricultural. In May 2015, CAP commenced legal proceedings against Ms.

GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX III

Wang and Tian Jiu in the Higher People’s Court of Hubei Province (“ Hubei Court ”) seeking, inter alia, declarations and orders that the sale and purchase agreements for the Baisazhou Acquisition (the “ SPA ”) have been legally made, and that Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu shall assist Baisazhou Agricultural to discharge its contractual duties under the SPA to make the necessary filing with MOFCOM (which were subsequently withdrawn in April 2019 in light of the decisions in respect of MOFCOM’s approvals). Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu filed their counterclaim for, inter alia, the return of CAP’s 90% interest in Baisazhou Agricultural, which was dismissed by the Hubei Court in December 2019 (“ 23 December Judgment ”). In January 2020, Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu appealed against the 23 December Judgment. On 29 March 2021, the CAP Group received the judgment of the Supreme Court dated 29 December 2020 (the “ 29 December Judgment ”) which upheld the 23 December Judgment and dismissed the appeal of Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu. As advised by the PRC legal advisors of the CAP Group, according to the 23 December Judgment and the 29 December Judgment, the CAP Group continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of Baisazhou Agricultural.

  • (ii) In 2011, CAP issued a Writ of Summons in the Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong (“ CFI ”) against Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu. CAP (as purchaser) sought damages from Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu (as vendors) for their breach of various provisions of the SPA. Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu counterclaimed for, amongst others, an order that CAP do cause and/or procure the shares in Baisazhou Agricultural to be transferred back to Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu. In 2012, CAP obtained a court order from the CFI to the effect that undertakings (the “ Undertakings ”) were given by Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu not to (i) endorse, assign, transfer or negotiate the two instruments (purportedly described as promissory notes in the SPA) (the “ Instruments ”); and (ii) enforce payment in relation to the SPA by presentation of the Instruments until the final determination of these proceedings or further court order. Pursuant to the Undertakings, the Instruments will no longer fall due for payment by CAP on 5 December 2012.

The CFI handed down its judgment on 18 January 2021 awarding damages in favour of CAP for sum exceeding the sum owed under the Instruments. The CFI also ordered that the damages awarded to CAP be set-off by the sum owed under the Instruments, and that Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu not be allowed to enforce the Instruments against CAP. In effect, CAP is not required to make any payment under the Instruments to Ms. Wang or Tian Jiu. CAP is seeking legal advice for the recovery of the balance of the damages awarded to it. Further, as the counterclaim of Ms. Wang and Tian Jiu was dismissed, CAP continues to be the legal and beneficial owner of Baisazhou Agricultural. Further details regarding the civil proceedings which the CAP Group has been involved in can be found in the interim/annual reports and announcements issued by CAP.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SGM

The Company does not in any way wish to diminish the opportunity available to members to exercise their rights and to vote, but is conscious of the need to protect the SGM attendees from possible exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the sake of health and safety of the SGM attendees, and in light of the latest Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation (Chapter 599G of the Laws of Hong Kong), the Company would be adapting the arrangements for the SGM to minimise attendance in person, while still enabling members to vote and ask questions. Details of the special arrangements for the SGM are set out below.

ATTENDING THE SGM BY MEANS OF ELECTRONIC FACILITIES

The SGM will be a hybrid meeting. The SGM will be held with the minimum number of persons present as is required under the Bye-laws of the Company to form a quorate meeting, together with a limited number of other attendees to ensure the proper conduct of the Meeting. The quorum will be formed by the senior management members and/or senior staff members of the Company who are members and/or their proxies to maintain an internal grouping and minimise the continuing risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic at the SGM.

Given the above reasons, No other member, proxy or corporate representative should attend the SGM in person. Other than those in the quorum and the limited number of other attendees to ensure the proper conduct of the Meeting, any other person who attempts to do so will be excluded and will not be permitted entry to the venue of the SGM.

The Company strongly encourages members to attend, participate and vote at the SGM through online access by visiting the Tricor e-Meeting System provided by the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited. Members participating in the SGM using the Tricor e-Meeting System will also be counted towards the quorum and they will be able to view the live broadcast, cast their vote and submit questions through the Tricor e-Meeting System.

The Tricor e-Meeting System permits a “split vote” on a resolution, in other words, a shareholder casting his/her/its votes through the Tricor e-Meeting System does not have to vote all of his/her/its shares in the same way (“For” or “Against”). In the case of a proxy/corporate representative, he/she can vote such number of shares in respect of which he/she has been appointed as a proxy/corporate representative. Votes cast through the Tricor e-Meeting System are irrevocable once the votes have been casted. The Tricor e-Meeting System will be opened for registered members and non-registered members (see below for login details and arrangements) to log in approximately 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the SGM and can be accessed from any location with internet connection by a mobile phone, tablet or computer. Members should allow ample time to check into the Tricor e-Meeting System to complete the related procedures. Please refer to the Online Meeting User Guide in relation to the procedures of the online meeting at https://spot-emeeting.tricor.hk/#/258.

Registered members

Registered members will be able to attend the SGM, vote and submit questions online through the Tricor e-Meeting System. Each registered member’s personalised username and password will be sent to him/her/it under separate letter.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

Non-registered members

Non-registered members whose shares are held in the Central Clearing and Settlement System through bank, stockbroker, custodians or Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (collectively the “ Intermediary ”) may also be able to attend the SGM, vote and submit questions online through the Tricor e-Meeting System. In this regard, they should:

  • (i) contact and instruct their Intermediary to appoint themselves as proxy or corporate representative to attend the SGM; and

  • (ii) provide their email address(es) to their Intermediary before the time limit required by the relevant Intermediary.

Details regarding the SGM arrangements including login details to access the Tricor e-Meeting System will be sent by the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, to the email address(es) of the non-registered members provided by the Intermediary. Any non-registered member who has provided an email address through the relevant Intermediary for this purpose but has not received the login details by email by 11:30 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on Monday, 9 May 2022 should reach out to Tricor Tengis Limited for assistance. Without the login details, non-registered members will not be able to participate and vote using the Tricor e-Meeting System. Non-registered members should therefore give clear and specific instructions to their Intermediary in respect of both (i) and (ii) above.

Registered and non-registered members should note that only one device is allowed per login. Please also keep the login details in safe custody for use at the SGM and do not disclose them to anyone else. Neither the Company nor its agents assume any obligation or liability whatsoever in connection with the transmission of the login details or any use of the login details for voting or otherwise.

QUESTIONS AT AND PRIOR TO THE SGM

Members attending the SGM using the Tricor e-Meeting System will be able to submit questions relevant to the proposed resolution(s) online during the SGM. Members can also send their questions by email to the Company via [email protected] before the SGM. The Board and/or the management will endeavour to address substantial and relevant questions in relation to the resolution(s) to be tabled for approval at the SGM and may decide, at their discretion, which questions to respond to.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

Members are encouraged to submit their completed proxy forms and appoint the chairman of the SGM as their proxy well in advance of the SGM. Return of a completed proxy form will not preclude members from attending and voting by means of electronic facilities at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should they subsequently so wish. Members are requested (a) to complete the accompanying proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong; or (b) to submit the proxy form electronically at https://spot-emeeting.tricor.hk/#/258 in accordance with the instructions printed on the accompanying notification letter, in each case as soon as possible but in any event no later than 11:30 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on Sunday, 8 May 2022, or not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Registered members submitting the proxy form are requested to provide a valid email address of his or her proxy (except appointment of the chairman of the SGM) for the proxy to receive the username and password to participate the online virtual meeting via the Tricor e-Meeting System.

Due to the constantly evolving COVID-19 pandemic situation in Hong Kong, the Company may be required to change or adopt contingency plans for the SGM arrangements at short notice. Members are advised to check the latest announcements published by the Company for future updates on the SGM arrangements.
