The Nomination Committee had reviewed the overall contribution and services of Mr. Chen to the Company and letter of confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules given by Mr. Chen and was of the view that Mr. Chen met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.
The Board considered that Mr. Chen, being an independent non-executive Director with a business and professional background, has brought his valuable experience to the Board and, alongside the other independent non-executive Directors, contributed to ensuring that the interests of the Shareholders were taken into account and that relevant issues were subject to objective consideration by the Board.

Details of these resolutions are contained in the AGM Notice.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was 2,308,866,570 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
The following is an explanatory statement required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of 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 to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Buy-back Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was 2,308,866,570 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution to grant the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 230,886,657 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM. The Buy-back Mandate will expire on the earliest of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Bye-laws of the Company and the applicable laws of Bermuda; and (c) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting.
2. SOURCE OF FUNDS
In buying back its Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes and in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association, the Bye-laws and the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the “ Companies Act ”). The Companies Act provides that such purchase may only be effected out of the capital paid up on the purchased shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution, or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium, if any, payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company.
— 12 —
APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
3. REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS
The Directors have no present intention to buy-back any Shares but consider that the mandate will provide the Company the flexibility to make such buy-back when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, enhance the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Board believes that such buy-backs will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
4. IMPACT OF BUY-BACKS
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021) in the event that the proposed buy-back of Shares were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to buy back Shares to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
5. SHARES PRICES
The following table shows the highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the last twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date:
| Price | per Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2020 | ||
| August | 0.165 | 0.133 |

| July | 0.163 | 0.109 |
| August (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.166 | 0.149 |
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If on the exercise of the power to buy-back shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a 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 Rules 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Chen Weiwu and Grand Nice International Limited, being the substantial shareholders of the Company, are holding 1,379,806,977 Shares, representing approximately 59.76% of the total number of the issued Shares. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back by the Company prior to the AGM and in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the resolution, their shareholdings in the Company would be increased to approximately 66.40% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
7. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
To the best of the knowledge of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of 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 Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
8. 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 buy-backs of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
9. BUY-BACK OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not bought back any Shares whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
10. GENERAL
The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the result of the buy-back would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the company’s issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors do not intend to buy-back Shares which would result the number of Shares held in the public hands falling below the prescribed limit as approved by the Stock Exchange.
