LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. BUYBACK MANDATE AND ISSUANCE MANDATE

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 4 September 2019, the Buyback Mandate was given to the Directors to repurchase securities and the Issuance Mandate was given to the Directors to issue securities. Both of them will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, the respective ordinary resolutions shall be proposed:

  1. to grant to the Directors a general mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to undertake repurchases of the Company's securities up to a maximum of 10% of the number of issued Shares on the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution (the "Buyback Mandate");
  2. to grant a general mandate to the Directors to issue securities up to a maximum of 20% of the number of issued Shares on the date of passing of the relevant ordinary resolution (the "Issuance Mandate"); and
  3. to extend the Issuance Mandate by the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Buyback Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 8,934,561,203 Shares. On the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed:

  1. to buyback a maximum of 893,456,120 Shares under the Buyback Mandate during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force; and

The Buyback Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or any earlier date as referred to in Resolutions Nos. 4 and 5 set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors wish to state that they have no present intention of issuing any securities.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the grant of the Buyback Mandate.

Accordingly, Deloitte will retire as the auditor of the Company, upon the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting and subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, Fan, Chan & Co. will hold office as the Company's auditor until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Managing Director and Executive Director

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT - BUYBACK MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information for your consideration of the proposed Buyback Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR SHARE BUYBACK

The Directors believe that the proposed granting of the Buyback Mandate is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

Trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile in recent years. At any time in the future when Shares are trading at a discount to their underlying value, the ability of the Company to buyback Shares and other securities of the Company (if any) will be beneficial to those Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company. Shares buyback will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buyback will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. Such buyback 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. The Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the Buyback Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued shares of the Company comprised 8,934,561,203 Shares at HK$0.07 each. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 4 set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Buyback Mandate to buyback a maximum of 893,456,120 Shares during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force.

The Shares repurchased by the Company under the Buyback Mandate will be cancelled by the Company.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUYBACK

In repurchasing securities of the Company under the Buyback Mandate, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws, the Listing Rules, the laws of Bermuda and other applicable laws.

Securities of the Company shall not be repurchased for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time. The Directors propose that repurchases of securities of the Company under the Buyback Mandate in these circumstances would be financed from the Company's internal resources or existing banking facilities.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT - BUYBACK MANDATE

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020) in the event that the Buyback Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such 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. The number of securities to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are purchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

4. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

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

Note: This represents interests legally and beneficially held by Ping Da, a company legally and beneficially owned 50% by Dr. Mo and 50% by Miss Mo Yunbi, who are executive Directors.

  • The percentage has been adjusted (if any) based on the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. 8,934,561,203 shares).

None of the Directors, and to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any close associates of the Directors, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Buyback Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases under the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Bye-laws, the Listing Rules, the laws of Bermuda and other applicable laws.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company, in the event that the Buyback Mandate is approved by its Shareholders.

If as a result of a repurchases of securities of the Company, 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 the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of such increase, could increase, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

- 11 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT - BUYBACK MANDATE

Assuming that the substantial Shareholders do not dispose of its Shares, if the Buyback Mandate were exercised in full, the percentage shareholdings of the substantial Shareholders before and after such repurchase would be as follows:

Before Buyback

After Buyback

Substantial Shareholders

Dr. Mo

27.96%

31.06%

Ping Da

12.70%

14.11%

Total

40.66%

45.17%

The Directors consider that such an increase would give rise to an obligation on the part of any substantial Shareholders to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. It is considered that, in the absence of any special circumstances, an obligation to make a mandatory offer as referred to above as a result of a share repurchase is unlikely to arise. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Buyback Mandate. Moreover, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

6. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the last six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
