In accordance with bye-law 86(2) of the Bye-laws, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a director either to fill a casual vacancy in the Board or, subject to authorisation by the members in general meeting, as an addition to the existing Board but so that the number of Directors so appointed shall not exceed any maximum number determined from time to time by the members in general meeting. Any Director so appointed by the Board shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting.

Pursuant to the above, Mr. Wang and Ms. Zheng shall retire from office at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.

Pursuant to bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation. Every Director, including those appointed for a specific term, shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. Any Director appointed pursuant to bye-law 86(2) shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation.

Pursuant to bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang shall retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.

Mr. Zhang and Ms. Zheng continue to contribute effectively and are committed to their roles.

Accordingly, the Board recommends Mr. Zhang and Ms. Zheng to stand for re-election as independent non-executive directors at the Annual General Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

This Appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed view on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the mandate to repurchase Shares (“Repurchase Mandate”).

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 818,041,413 Shares.

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to 16 May 2018, being the date of the Annual General Meeting, could accordingly result in up to a maximum of 81,804,141 Shares, representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting (assuming the number of Shares in issue remains unchanged following the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting) being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period from 16 May 2018 to the earliest of (i) the date of the 2019 annual general meeting; (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to purchase Shares in the market. Such purchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a purchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with all applicable laws of Bermuda and the Company’s memorandum of association and Bye-laws.

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2017 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares might have a material adverse impact on the working capital position of the Company as compared with its position as at 31 December 2017. No purchase would be made in circumstances that might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements) unless the Directors considered that such purchases were in the best interests of the Company notwithstanding such material adverse impact.

SHARE PRICES AND REPURCHASED SHARES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months are as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2017
April 0.650 0.470
May 0.680 0.560
June 0.630 0.530
July 0.630 0.500
August 0.640 0.420
September 0.570 0.385
October 0.580 0.475
November 0.560 0.450
December 0.890 0.450
2018
January 1.180 0.810
February 0.960 0.700
March 0.960 0.760
April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.780 0.750

The Company has not made any purchase of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the previous six months.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and, if such increase results in a change of control of the Company, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Directors and according to the register of substantial shareholders’ interest in shares kept under section 336 of Part XV of the SFO, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Li Haifeng (“Mr. Li”) was interested in 414,609,396 Shares, representing approximately 50.68% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Li in the Company would be increased to approximately 56.31% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase will not trigger any mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.

CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

No persons who are core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares held by them to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

DIRECTORS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they would exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the proposed ordinary resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda, the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated.
