LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Bye-law 87(2), Mr. Wong King Shiu, Daniel, Mr. Chan Chi Yuen and Mr. Wong Hoi Kuen shall retire from office at the AGM and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the AGM. Details of the retiring Directors proposed for re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix I of this circular.

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 1 September 2015, the Shareholders passed resolutions granting the Directors general mandates to allot and issue new Shares and to repurchase Shares. Such mandates will expire and lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew the general mandates to allot, issue and deal with new Shares and to repurchase Shares at the AGM.

The Issue Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Issue Mandate which will enable the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution. In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the extension of the Issue Mandate by adding to the aggregate number of Shares which may be allotted or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted by the Directors pursuant to the Issue Mandate the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate, if granted.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 32,557,195,617 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the resolution approving the Issue Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Issue Mandate will be 6,511,439,123 Shares.

Details of the Issue Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate are respectively set out in the ordinary resolutions numbered 4 and 6 in the notice of the AGM set out on pages 18 to 21 of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Repurchase Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Repurchase Mandate which will enable the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution. The Company’s authority is restricted to repurchase Shares in the market in accordance with the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 32,557,195,617 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 3,255,719,561 Shares.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II of this circular.

Details of the Repurchase Mandate are set out in the ordinary resolution numbered 5 in the notice of the AGM set out on pages 20 to 21 of this circular.

Both the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will expire upon 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 Bye-laws or any applicable law to be held; and

  • (iii) the revocation or variation of such authority by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme on 22 August 2011. Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company had no other share option scheme in effect as at the Latest Practicable Date. Subject to prior Shareholders’ approval, the Company may, at any time thereafter, refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit to the extent not exceeding 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the aforesaid Shareholders’ approval.

The existing Scheme Mandate Limit is 739,169,561 Shares, being 10% of the Shares issued as at the date of refreshment thereof at the special general meeting of the Company held on 29 October 2014, representing approximately 2.27% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Options carrying the rights to subscribe for 730,820,000 Shares were granted under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit, representing approximately 9.89% of the Shares in issue as at the date of refreshment of the existing Scheme Mandate Limit on 29 October 2014 and approximately 2.24% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the 730,820,000 Options granted had been exercised, cancelled or lapsed and accordingly the Company had 730,820,000 Options outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date.

A breakdown setting out the number of Options outstanding and their respective exercise price and their respective exercisable period under the Share Option Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date is as follows:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The grant of Options to each of the Directors named above had been approved by the independent non-executive Directors in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme. Save as disclosed above, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, none of the grantees of the Options is a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, nor an associate (as defined in the Listing Rules) of any of them.

It is proposed that subject to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit and the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM, the Scheme Mandate Limit be refreshed so that the total number of Shares, which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed, shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the relevant resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme (including without limitation those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the Share Option Scheme) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 32,557,195,617 Shares in issue. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares, which may be issued upon the exercise of all the Options to be granted under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed should be 3,255,719,561 Shares (assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the AGM).

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other option scheme(s) of the Company (or its subsidiaries) at any time shall not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No options shall be granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other scheme(s) of the Company (or its subsidiaries) if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.

Reasons for the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit

In view of the substantial increase in the issued Shares in April 2016 and only 8,349,561 Options carrying the rights to subscribe for 8,349,561 Shares are available to be granted under the existing Scheme Mandate Limit, representing approximately 0.03% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors consider that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit in order to provide the Company with greater flexibility in granting share options to the eligible participants (including employees and Directors) of the Company under the Share Option Scheme as incentives to reward their contribution or potential contribution to the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide you with all the information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 32,557,195,617 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that there is no change in the issued Shares prior to the AGM, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would enable the Company to repurchase up to 3,255,719,561 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the resolution referred to herein; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable law to be held; and (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing Shares, they believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to continue 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 its assets and/or its 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

It is envisaged that any repurchase of Shares would be financed out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and Bye-laws of the Company, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda. Under the laws of Bermuda, the repurchased Shares will be cancelled and the Company’s issued share capital will be reduced by the nominal value of those repurchased Shares accordingly.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) had any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

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

7. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC FLOAT

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 of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

– 16 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder was interested in more than 10% of the issued Shares then in issue. On the basis that no further Shares are issued and there is no change of the shareholding structure, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not result in any Shareholders becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

At as the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors had no intention to exercise any of the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in a requirement of any Shareholders, or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

8. SHARE REPURCHASES BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
