Chairman and Non-executive Director

Dr. Lam Man Chan

Executive Director

Mr. Lee Kwok Leung

Independent Non-executive Directors

Dr. Ng Chi Yeung, Simon

Mr. Tam Yuk Sang, Sammy

Ms. Florence Ng

Under Clause (99) of the Company's Bye-laws, subject to the manner of retirement by rotation of Directors as from time to time prescribed under the Listing Rules and notwithstanding any other provisions in these Bye-laws, at each annual general meeting 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 one-third but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This explanatory statement contains the information required to be set out in this circular pursuant to Rule 10.06(l)(b) of the Listing Rules. Its purpose is to provide Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued and fully-paid share capital of the Company was 94,282,125 shares of HK$0.01 each. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 9,428,212 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, they believe that an ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such repurchases in circumstances where they consider them to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-Laws, the Listing Rules and the Companies Act. The Company is empowered by its Bye-Laws to repurchase its Shares. The Companies Act provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase. The amount of premium payable on the repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account before the Shares are repurchased.

Under the laws of Bermuda, no purchase by a company of its own shares may be effected if, on the date on which the purchase is to be effected, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company is, or after the purchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. In accordance with the laws of Bermuda, the shares so repurchased would be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital would not be reduced.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, as compared with the position disclosed in the latest audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 contained in its annual report for 2020, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the Repurchase Mandate period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company that, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. SHARE PRICE

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers 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.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries (if any) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries (if any), nor has he/she/ it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company or its subsidiaries (if any), in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

6. TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of the increase of the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the register of interests in Shares and short positions maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 336 of the SFO showed that the Company had been notified of the following interests, being 5% or more of the Company's issued share capital:

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Note:

1. The interests are held by Goodchamp Holdings Limited, which is 100% owned by Sinowin (PTC) Inc. as trustee of The Sinowin Unit Trust. The Sinowin Unit Trust is a unit trust 100% owned by HSBC International Trustee Limited as trustee of a discretionary trust. The discretionary trust was settled by Dr. Lam Man Chan (''Dr. Lam''), Chairman and Non-Executive Director of the Company.

Based on the above, 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. The Company has no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that it would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

7. SHARE REPURCHASES BY THE COMPANY

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