LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of Shareholders held on 3 June 2020, general mandates were granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares and to issue new Shares respectively. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM, unless renewed at that meeting.

In order to ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable to make repurchases or issue any additional Shares, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the 2021 AGM to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

  • (a) to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange not exceeding 10% of the number of Shares in issue at the date of passing the relevant resolution;

  • (b) to issue, allot and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the number of Shares in issue at the date of passing the relevant resolution; and

  • (c) to extend the Issue Mandate by an aggregate number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate.

At the Latest Practicable Date, there were 597,257,252 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Issue Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued and/or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the 2021 AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Issue Mandate to issue, allot and deal with a maximum of 119,451,450 Shares (representing 20% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the 2021 AGM) and under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 59,725,725 Shares (representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the 2021 AGM).

The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate will expire at the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or by any applicable law to be held; or (iii) the passing of ordinary resolution(s) by Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying the authority given to Directors.

The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to be given to Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The Directors have no immediate plan to repurchase or issue any Shares of the Company. Shareholders are recommended to vote in favour of these proposed resolutions as they are considered to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Articles 94 and 95 of the Articles of Association of the Company, Mr HON Hau Chit (“Mr HON”), Mr YANG Jingchao (“Mr YANG”) and Mr CHEUNG Man Hoi (“Mr CHEUNG”) will retire by rotation at the 2021 AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

In accordance with Article 88 of the Articles of Association of the Company, Mr CHEN Jie (“Mr CHEN”), who has been appointed as an Executive Director and the Vice Chairman of the Board with effect from 11 December 2020, shall hold office only until the next general meeting of the Company, and shall then be eligible and offer himself for re-election at the 2021 AGM.

The Nomination Committee, which comprises a majority of Independent Non-executive Directors of the Company, has reviewed the Board’s composition and noted that, pursuant to the prevailing Nomination Policy, the Retiring Directors are eligible for nomination and nominated to the Board for it to recommend to Shareholders for re-election at the 2021 AGM. The nomination was made in accordance with the Nomination Policy and took into account the diversity aspects with due regard for the benefits of diversity as set out in the Board Diversity Policy.

The Nomination Committee has also assessed the independence of all Independent Nonexecutive Directors with reference to the criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, and has affirmed that all Independent Non-executive Directors, including Mr CHEUNG, remain independent. All Independent Non-executive Directors, including Mr CHEUNG, have provided annual confirmation of independence to the Company.

The Nomination Committee considered that Mr CHEUNG continues to contribute effectively and is committed to his roles. Mr CHEUNG has shared his experience and expertise to the Board and demonstrated his ability to provide independent view and judgment in the Company’s affairs. His re-election will continue to enhance the governance and oversight of the Group at both the Board and the Board Committee levels.

Each of the above Directors has abstained from voting on his own nomination when it was being considered.

Information relating to the Retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the 2021 AGM as required to be disclosed under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to provide requisite information for you to consider whether to vote for or against the Resolution to be proposed at the 2021 AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate:

1. ISSUED SHARES

At the Latest Practicable Date, there were 597,257,252 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company following the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the 2021 AGM, the Company would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 59,725,725 Shares (representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue) from the date of the 2021 AGM until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Board believes that the granting of 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 at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Board believes that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the applicable laws of Hong Kong and the Listing Rules. Repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate will be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital, and will, in any event, be made out of funds legally available for the repurchase in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

There might be a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or gearing levels of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time. The Board does 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 or gearing levels of the Company which, in the opinion of the Board, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

4. UNDERTAKING

The Board has undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor have they undertaken not to sell any Shares to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

At the Latest Practicable Date, Samba Limited (“Samba”) directly held approximately 24.26% of the number of Shares in issue. Vigour Fine Company Limited (“Vigour Fine”), being the controlling shareholder of Samba, was deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Samba. Vigour Fine directly held approximately 35.27% of the number of Shares in issue. Fujian Investment & Development Group Co., Ltd. (“FIDG”) directly held the entire issued share capital of Vigour Fine and was deemed to be interested in a total of approximately 59.53% of the number of Shares in issue.

Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group Limited (“Citychamp”) directly held approximately 14.76% of the number of Shares in issue. Citychamp was the controlled corporation of each of Sincere View International Limited (“Sincere View”) and Full Day Limited (“Full Day”) and each of Sincere View and Full Day was deemed to be interested in approximately 14.76% of the number of Shares in issue. Sincere View directly held approximately 0.54% of the number of Shares in issue. Mr HON Kwok Lung (“Mr HON”) held the entire issued share capital of Full Day and was the controlling shareholder of Sincere View. Each of Mr HON and Ms LAM Suk Ying, the spouse of Mr HON, was deemed to be interested in a total of approximately 15.30% of the number of Shares in issue.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

Based on such interests, in the event that the Board exercised in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted at the 2021 AGM, the percentage shareholding of FIDG and Mr HON would be increased to approximately 66.15% and 17.00% of the number of Shares in issue respectively. The Board considers that, such an increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Board is not aware of any consequences which could arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

At the Latest Practicable Date, the Board had no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate because the public float of the Company was only 25.03%, which was slightly higher than the minimum prescribed percentage of 25% as required under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules.

6. SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase has been made by the Company of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

7. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date, and for the period from 1 April 2021 up to the Latest Practicable Date, were as follows:

Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
