LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Of the 17,000,000 Options granted, 12,000,000 Options are granted to Mr. Lee Kwok Leung, the chief executive officer and executive Director of the Group and the brother (i.e. a family member and an associate) of Mr. Li Kwok Tung Roy who is the Chairman, executive Director and a substantial shareholder of the Group. As of the Date of Grant, such Options represent 0.95% of the total number of Shares in issue.
Save as disclosed above, none of the above Grantee is a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder, or any of their respective associates.
Under Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, each grant of options to a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder, or any of their respective associates, must be approved by the independent non-executive Directors.
Also under Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules and the Share Option Scheme, any grant of option(s) to a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive Director, or any of their respective associates, which would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options already granted and to be granted (including options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant (i) representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue and (ii) having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Shares at the date of each grant, in excess of HK$5.0 million (the ‘‘Maximum Limit’’), such further grant of options must be separately approved by the Independent Shareholders in a general meeting at which all core connected persons of the Company must abstain from voting.
