To the Shareholders,

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED ISSUE OF BONUS SHARES, GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES, RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information regarding the following proposed resolutions to be put forward at the AGM for the Shareholders’ consideration and, if thought fit, approval of, among others:

  • (a) the issue of Bonus Shares;
  • For identification purpose only

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) the grant to the Directors of the General Mandate;

  • (c) the re-election of retiring Directors; and

  • (d) the declaration of final dividend.

2. PROPOSED ISSUE OF BONUS SHARES

The Directors propose a bonus issue of Shares, credited as fully paid by way of capitalisation of the Company’s share premium account, on the basis of one Bonus Share for every five existing Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date in proportion to their then holding of Shares. The terms and conditions of the Bonus Issue are set out below.

(a) Basis of Bonus Issue

Subject to the conditions as set out under the heading “Conditions of the Bonus Issue” below, the Bonus Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid on the basis of one Bonus Share for every five existing Shares held on the Record Date by the Qualifying Shareholders. On the basis of 404,800,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased before the Record Date, it is anticipated that 80,960,000 Bonus Shares will be issued under the Bonus Issue. The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid by way of capitalisation of an approximate amount of HK$809,600 out of the Company’s reserves. Immediately after the completion of the Bonus Issue, there will be a total of 485,760,000 Shares in issue as enlarged by the Bonus Issue.

(b) Fractions of Bonus Shares

On the basis of one Bonus Share for every five existing Shares held on the Record Date by the Qualifying Shareholders, it is expected that there will not be any fractional entitlements arising from the Bonus Issue.

(c) Entitlement to Bonus Issue

The Bonus Shares will be issued to the Qualifying Shareholders.

Shareholders are reminded that in order to qualify for the Bonus Issue, they must ensure that all transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificate are lodged with the office of the branch share registrar of the Company, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shop 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on 27 June 2018, Wednesday.

The exact total number of Bonus Shares to be issued under the Bonus Issue will not be capable of determination until after the Record Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(d) Overseas Shareholders

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholders whose addresses as shown in the register of members of the Company are outside Hong Kong.

Should there be any Overseas Shareholders whose addresses as registered in the register of members of the Company on the Record Date are outside Hong Kong, the Board will seek further advice from foreign legal counsel pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules as to the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant overseas jurisdiction and the requirements of any relevant regulatory body or stock exchange for the issue of the Bonus Shares to those Overseas Shareholders. If, after seeking such advice from foreign legal counsel, the Board is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient, on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction or any requirement of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that jurisdiction, not to offer the Bonus Shares to that/those Overseas Shareholder(s), the Bonus Issue will not be extended to such Non-Qualifying Overseas Shareholder(s) and no Bonus Shares will be allotted to him/her/it/them.

Arrangements will be made for the Bonus Shares which would otherwise have been allotted to the Non-Qualifying Overseas Shareholder(s) to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealings in the Bonus Shares commence on the Stock Exchange, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds of each sale in excess of HK$100, less expenses, will be distributed by the Company to the relevant Non-Qualifying Overseas Shareholder(s) pro rata to their shareholdings in the Company on the Record Date in Hong Kong dollars and remittances therefore will be posted to them, at their own risk. The Company will retain individual amounts of less than HK$100 for the benefit of the Company. The details contained in this circular in relation to Bonus Issue is provided for the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for information only.

(e) Status of the Bonus Shares

The Bonus Shares will, subject to the Articles, rank equally in all respects with the existing Shares from their date of issue. Holders of the Bonus Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions (if any) which are declared, made or paid after the date on which the Bonus Shares are allotted and issued, but will not be entitled for any dividend declared or recommended by the Company in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2017.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(f) Conditions of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue is conditional upon:

  • (a) Shareholders approving Resolution 7 as set out in the AGM Notice;

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval of listing of and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares; and

  • (c) compliance with the relevant legal procedures and requirements (if any) under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles to effect the Bonus Issue.

An ordinary resolution as set out in Resolution 7 of the AGM Notice will be proposed at the AGM to approve the Bonus Issue. No Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on such resolution.

(g) Trading Arrangements

Application has been made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for listing of and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares. Subject to the granting of listing of and permission to deal on the Stock Exchange as well as in compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Bonus Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the date on which dealings in the Bonus Shares commence on the Stock Exchange or such other date as shall be determined by HKSCC. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Subject to the conditions as set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Bonus Issue” above, it is expected that (i) certificates for the Bonus Shares will be posted to Shareholders on 9 July 2018, Monday at their own risk, and (ii) the first day of dealing in the Bonus Shares will be on 10 July 2018, Tuesday.

No action is required to be taken by the Qualifying Shareholders to receive the certificates for the Bonus Shares as a result of the Bonus Issue. The Qualifying Shareholders will either receive the certificates for such Shares or where appropriate, investors holding Shares through CCASS participants will receive the Bonus Shares through their respective brokers or custodians who are CCASS clearing or custodian participants or through their CCASS Investors Participant stock account. You should seek the advice of your stockbroker or other professional adviser for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect your rights and interests.

The Shares are not listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange. The Directors do not intend to apply for listing of or permission to deal in the Bonus Shares on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(h) Reasons and Benefits for the Bonus Issue

In recognition of the continual support of the Shareholders and to encourage the Shareholders to continue to support the Company’s future development, the Board decided to propose the Bonus Issue.

The Board believes that the Bonus Issue will allow the Shareholders to enjoy a pro-rata increase in the number of Shares held by them in the Company without incurring any significant costs to them. Although the price per Share on an ex-entitlement basis is expected to reduce proportionately and the Bonus Issue is not expected to increase the Shareholders’ proportionate equity interests in the Company, the Bonus Issue will increase the number of Shares to be held by the Shareholders, which will afford them with more flexibility in managing their own investment portfolios such as giving them more convenience in disposing of a portion of the Shares and realising a cash return to meet the individual Shareholders’ financial needs.

The Board also believes that even if the price per Share on an ex-entitlement basis may be reduced proportionately, the Bonus Issue will not change the rights or the proportionate equity interest of the Shareholders in the Company.

In addition, the Company would like to increase the total number of the issued Shares of the Company in the market. The Bonus Issue will reduce the price of each Share and the trading price of per board lot, and hence the trading volume and the liquidity of the Shares on the market could be increased. Whilst it is arguable that the Bonus Issue may reduce the value of each Shareholder’s holding in the Company due to the transaction costs involved in the Bonus Issue, it is expected that the transaction costs will be minimal.

The Board has also considered alternative methods such as a sub-division of Shares to achieve the above purposes. Having considered the simple administrative procedures to be involved and comparatively low expenses to be incurred for the Bonus Issue, the Directors consider that the Bonus Issue is a more appropriate way of achieving the abovementioned purposes taking into account the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Shareholders are further advised to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the advantages and disadvantages of the Bonus Issue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. GENERAL MANDATE

On 15 June 2017, resolution for the General Mandate was passed by the Shareholders and the General Mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the grant of the General Mandate. The new General Mandate, if granted, will allow the Directors to allot and issue further Shares with aggregate nominal value not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the relevant resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 404,800,000 fully paid-up Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the General Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, exercise in full of the General Mandate could result in new issue of 80,960,000 Shares. The Board is currently exploring various possibilities to raise fund for its future operation or expansion which may involve issuance of new Shares under the General Mandate.

4. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Articles 87 and 88 of the Articles of Association, Messrs Katsutoshi Masuda, Toshimitsu Masuda and Lo Ka Wai will retire by rotation and, being eligible, will offer themselves for reelection at the AGM.

Mr. Lo Ka Wai has served as independent non-executive Director more than 9 years and his re-election will be subject to separate ordinary resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. As an independent non-executive Director with in-depth understanding of the Company’s operations and business, Mr. Lo Ka Wai has expressed objective views and given independent guidance to the Company over the years, and he continues demonstrating a firm commitment to his role. The Board considers that the long service of Mr. Lo Ka Wai would not affect his exercise of independent judgment and is satisfied that Mr. Lo Ka Wai has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of independent non-executive Director. The Board considers the re-election of Mr. Lo Ka Wai as independent non-executive Director is in the best interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will also be proposed to re-elect Messrs Katsutoshi Masuada, Toshimitsu Masuda and Lo Ka Wai as Directors in accordance with the Articles of Association. To enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on the re-election of these retiring Directors, the biographical details of the retiring Directors, as required under Chapter 13 of the Listing Rules, are set out in Appendix II to this circular for the information of Shareholders.

Subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the AGM, it is proposed that the term of office for each of the above Directors is 3 years commencing on the date immediately following the approval at the AGM.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The emolument to such Directors proposed to be re-elected is determined by the Board with reference to their respective duties and level of responsibilities in the Company and the prevailing market condition.

Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM or any adjournment of that meeting should you so desire.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to declare the final dividend.
