LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of six Directors, including:

  1. three executive Directors, namely Mr Lau Tom Ko Yuen, Mr Sue Ka Lok and Ms Wu Yan Yee; and
  2. three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr Chan Shu Kin, Ms Wong Lai Kin, Elsa and Mr Leung Chung Ki.

Pursuant to bye-laws 87(1) and 87(2) of the Bye-laws, Ms Wong Lai Kin, Elsa and Mr Leung Chung Ki will retire from office by rotation at the 2020 AGM. Both of them, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the 2020 AGM.

Bye-law 88 of the Bye-laws provides that no person other than a Director retiring at the meeting shall be eligible for election as a Director at any general meeting unless:

  1. he/she is recommended by the Directors; or
  2. a notice signed by a Shareholder (other than the person to be proposed) duly qualified to attend and vote at the meeting for which such notice is given of his/her intention to propose such person for election as Director and also a notice signed by the person to be proposed of his/her willingness to be elected shall have been lodged at the registered office of the Company for the time being or at the head office of the Company as the Directors may from time to time determine to be the principal office of the Company provided that the minimum length of the period, during which such notice(s) are given, shall be at least seven (7) days and that the period for lodgment of such notice(s) shall commence no earlier than the day after the despatch of the notice of the general meeting appointed for such election and end no later than seven (7) days prior to the date of such general meeting.

Accordingly, if a Shareholder wishes to nominate a person to stand for election as a Director, the following documents must be validly served on the Company at its principal place of business in Hong Kong, namely (i) his/her notice of intention to propose a resolution, and (ii) a notice signed by the nominated candidate of his/her willingness to be elected together with (A) the candidate's information required to be disclosed under rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules and other information as referred to under the section headed ''Requisite information of the candidate(s) nominated by Shareholders'' below, and (B) the candidate's written consent to the publication of his/her personal data.

In order to ensure that other Shareholders have sufficient time to receive and consider the particulars of the nominated candidate(s), Shareholders are urged to submit their proposals as early as practicable, preferably before 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, 13 August 2020 so that an announcement can be issued on or about Friday, 14 August 2020 or a supplementary circular containing particulars of the candidate(s) proposed by such Shareholder(s) can be despatched to the Shareholders on or about Tuesday, 18 August 2020.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Requisite information of the candidate(s) nominated by Shareholders

In order to enable other Shareholders to make an informed decision on their election of Directors, the said notice of intention to propose a resolution by a Shareholder should be accompanied by the following information of the nominated candidate:

  1. full name and age;
  2. positions held with PYI and/or other members of the Group (if any);
  3. experience including (i) other directorships held in the last three years in public companies the securities of which are listed on any securities market in Hong Kong or overseas, and
    1. other major appointments and professional qualifications;
  4. current employment and such other information (which may include business experience and academic qualifications) of which Shareholders should be aware, pertaining to the ability or integrity of the candidate;

Recommendations of the Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee, consisting of five members namely, Mr Chan Shu Kin, Mr Lau Tom Ko Yuen, Mr Sue Ka Lok, Ms Wong Lai Kin, Elsa and Mr Leung Chung Ki, held a meeting on Friday, 26 June 2020 to nominate the re-election of retiring Directors at the 2020 AGM. Ms Wong Lai Kin, Elsa and Mr Leung Chung Ki, being the retiring Directors, abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Nomination Committee relating to their own re-election. The Nomination Committee, with the aforesaid abstention of Ms Wong and Mr Leung, had nominated and recommended to the Board that Ms Wong Lai Kin, Elsa and Mr Leung Chung Ki, being eligible, shall be re-elected as Directors at the 2020 AGM. In addition, the retiring Directors had abstained from voting at the Board meeting when their nominations were considered and approved by the Board for recommendation to the Shareholders for approval.

The biographical details of Ms Wong Lai Kin, Elsa and Mr Leung Chung Ki are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Nomination Committee is also responsible for, inter alia, assessing the independence of independent non-executive Directors. On Friday, 26 June 2020, the Nomination Committee reviewed and assessed the independence of each independent non-executive Director by making reference to his/her annual confirmation of independence declared pursuant to rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is of the view that all independent non-executive Directors remained independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. As a good corporate governance practice, every member of the Nomination Committee had abstained from participating in his/her own respective assessment of independence.

REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

At the 2019 AGM, Shareholders approved the Directors' fees in an aggregate amount of not exceeding HK$4,000,000 per annum to be paid to all Directors and be divided amongst the Directors as the Board may agree.

A Director who has not served the entire period will receive payment in proportion to his/her period of service.

The Remuneration Committee at the meeting held on Wednesday, 24 June 2020 reviewed and considered that the current scale of the Directors' fees was reasonable under the current market environment and having regard to the prevailing market conditions, relevant remuneration package offered by comparable companies, the duties and responsibilities of the Directors and the time committed by the Directors. The Remuneration Committee recommended that the existing aggregate amount of Directors' fees of not exceeding HK$4,000,000 per annum for all Directors shall remain unchanged for the coming year.

Bye-law 96 of the Bye-laws provides that, among others, the ordinary remuneration of Directors shall from time to time be determined by the Company in general meeting. Accordingly, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2020 AGM for Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the payment of Directors' fee in an aggregate amount of not exceeding HK$4,000,000 per annum to all Directors and that the Board be authorised to divide this amount amongst the Directors. If approved by the Shareholders, the proposed Directors' fees will be effective from 4 September 2020. Payment will be made in proportion to the period of service in the case of a Director who has not served the entire period.

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the 2019 AGM, ordinary resolutions were passed to grant the general mandates to the Directors to issue Shares and to repurchase Shares. Such general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the 2020 AGM. Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the 2020 AGM to grant to the Directors a new general mandate, inter alia, (a) to allot and issue Shares not exceeding 20% of the total issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution; (b) to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the total issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution; and (c) to extend the general mandate to issue Shares by the number of Shares purchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 5,519,580,572 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the general mandate to issue Shares and on the basis that no Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the 2020 AGM, the Directors will be authorised under the general mandate to allot and issue 1,103,916,114 Shares and to repurchase 551,958,057 Shares.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole that the General Mandates are granted at the 2020 AGM. The General Mandates provide Directors with flexibility to issue Shares especially in the context of a fund raising exercise or a transaction involving an acquisition by the Company where Shares are to be issued as consideration and which has to be completed speedily. However, the Directors currently have no intention of any acquisition by the Company nor any plan for raising capital by issuing new Shares.

An explanatory statement providing all the information required under the Listing Rules concerning the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the 2020 AGM is set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular at which resolutions will be proposed, inter alia, to approve (i) re-election of retiring Directors; (ii) remuneration of Directors; and (iii) grant of General Mandates.

Pursuant to rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. The Chairman of the 2020 AGM will therefore put each of the resolutions to be proposed at the 2020 AGM to be voted by way of a poll pursuant to bye-law 66 of the Bye-laws.

A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the 2020 AGM is enclosed. If you do not intend to attend the 2020 AGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong at 33rd Floor, Paul Y. Centre, 51 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the 2020 AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the 2020 AGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

None of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting at the 2020 AGM pursuant to the Listing Rules and/or the Bye-laws.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board is pleased to recommend Ms Wong Lai Kin, Elsa and Mr Leung Chung Ki to stand for re-election by the Shareholders as Directors. Their biographies are set out in Appendix I for the Shareholders' consideration. The Board also believes that the proposed remuneration of Directors and the grant of the General Mandates are in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and accordingly recommends Shareholders to vote in favour of all resolutions to be proposed at the 2020 AGM.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

PYI Corporation Limited

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

REPURCHASE MANDATE

This is the explanatory statement given to the Shareholders relating to a resolution authorising the Company to repurchase its own Shares which is proposed to be passed by the Shareholders by means of an ordinary resolution at the 2020 AGM.

This explanatory statement contains a summary of the information required pursuant to rule

10.06 of the Listing Rules, which is set out as follows:

Share capital

. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were in issue a total of 5,519,580,572 Shares, all of which were fully paid.

. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and before the date of the 2020 AGM, there will be 5,519,580,572 Shares in issue, and exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would result in up to a maximum of 551,958,057 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the relevant period referred to in ordinary resolution numbered 4(B) of the notice of the 2020 AGM.

Reasons for repurchases

. The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to purchase the Shares on 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/or its earnings per Share and will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

Funding of repurchases

. The repurchase of Shares shall be made with funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. Under Bermuda law, repurchases may only be effected out of the capital paid up on the purchased Shares or out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account before the Shares are repurchased. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from such sources.

. As compared to the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2020 (being the date of the Company's latest audited accounts), the Directors consider that the repurchases of the Shares will have no material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

- 10 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

REPURCHASE MANDATE

Directors, their Close Associates and Core Connected Persons

. None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their Close Associates has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell the Shares to the Company.

. No Core Connected Person has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell the Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

Undertaking of the Directors

. 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 repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

Share repurchase made by the Company

. During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

GENERAL

If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Directors exercising the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders had interests representing 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:
