PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing development of COVID-19 and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread by the Hong Kong Government, the Company strongly encourages the Shareholders not to attend the AGM in person and the Company strongly recommends the Shareholders to exercise their voting rights by appointing the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the AGM as an alternative to attending the AGM in person. The Shareholders are reminded that physical attendance at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising the voting rights. Shareholders who choose to do so should take action as soon as possible to ensure the proxy instructions reach our share registrar not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the AGM.

Taking into consideration the guidelines issued by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Joint Statement dated 1 April 2020 made by The Securities and Futures Commission and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in relation to General Meetings in light of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders from the risk of infection:

. compulsory body temperature check will be conducted for every Shareholder or proxy at the entrance of the venue and anyone with abnormal body temperature may be denied entry into the venue;

. the Company may limit the number of attendees at the AGM as may be necessary to avoid over-crowding and maintain appropriate distance and space;

. every Shareholder or proxy is mandatorily required to use surgical face masks during their attendance of the AGM; and

. no distribution of corporate gifts and no refreshments will be served.

Shareholders are in any event asked (a) to consider carefully the risk of attending the AGM, which will be held in an enclosed environment; (b) to follow any requirements or guidelines of the Hong Kong Government relating to COVID-19 in deciding whether or not to attend the AGM; and (c) not to attend the AGM if they have contracted or are suspected to have contracted COVID-19 or have been in close contact with anybody who has contracted or is suspected to have contracted COVID-19.

Due to the constantly evolving COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong, the Shareholders are urged to view the respective websites of the Company and the Stock Exchange for future announcements on the arrangement of the AGM, if any.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 May 2020, a general mandate was given to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the ordinary resolution granting the general mandate. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution (''Repurchase Resolution'') will be proposed at the AGM to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase, at any time until the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the Repurchase Resolution or such earlier date as stated therein, Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the Repurchase Resolution (''Repurchase Mandate'').

An explanatory statement, as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information in connection with the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

III. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing such resolution (''Issue Mandate''). At the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued share capital of the Company is 1,496,261,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 299,252,200 Shares.

In addition, if the Repurchase Mandate and Issue Mandate are granted, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate would continue in force until (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws to be held; or (c) the Repurchase Mandate and/or the Issue Mandate is/are revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Company in general meeting, whichever is the earliest.

IV. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with article 87 of the Articles, Mr. Chen Shaojun, Mr. Ede Ronald Hao Xi and Ms. Lam Ming Yee Joan will retire by rotation and being eligible, offer themselves for reelection at the AGM.

Particulars required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules of the retiring directors who will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM are set out in the Appendix I of this circular.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Nomination Committee considered and assessed the suitability of the above retiring Directors for re-election in accordance with the Company's Nomination Policy. The Nomination Committee also took into account the structure and composition of the Board, time commitment and contribution of all retiring Directors and assessed the annual confirmation of independence of each of the Independent Non-executive Directors based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, including considering Mr. Ede Ronald Hao Xi's cross directorship and competing business involved, and formed the view that all of them remain independent. The Nomination Committee has considered the skills, knowledge, and professional experience of all retiring Directors as described in their biographies set out in Appendix I to this circular having regard to the Company's Board Diversity Policy, and is of the view that their breath and diversity of experience have enabled them to provide valuable and diverse views, as well as relevant insights to the Board and to contribute to the diversity of the Board. Therefore the Nomination Committee recommends to the Board for the proposed re-election of all retiring Directors at the AGM. Mr. Ede Ronald Hao Xi and Ms. Lam Ming Yee Joan abstained from voting on his/her own nomination respectively when it was considered.

The Board, having considered the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, is of the view that the diverse and invaluable knowledge skill sets and experience of each of Mr. Chen Shaojun, Mr. Ede Ronald Hao Xi and Ms. Lam Ming Yee Joan in the businesses of the Group and their general business acumen continue to generate significant contribution to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Therefore, the Board accepted the recommendation from the Nomination Committee and recommends to the holders of securities of the Company the proposed re-election of all retiring Directors at the AGM.

  1. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Notice of AGM is set out on pages 17 to 21 of this circular. Resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the re-election of retiring Directors and the general mandates as referred to above at the AGM.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the above meeting. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the AGM if they so wish.

VI. VOTING AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Pursuant to the Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, at any general meeting, a resolution put to the vote of shareholders shall be decided by poll except where the chairman of the AGM, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The chairman of the AGM will

Accordingly, the Directors recommend Shareholders to vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06 (1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you to enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the Repurchase Resolution.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,496,261,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 149,626,100 Shares during the period which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance 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 the Shareholders as 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.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Purchases and redemptions may only be effected out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account, or, if so authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 contained in the 2020 Annual Report) in the event that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full during the period which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force.

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, which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

50% by Hunwick International Limited (''Hunwick''). Keysmart is wholly-owned by Ms. Li and Hunwick is wholly-owned by Mr. Hung. Both Ms. Li and Mr. Hung are directors of the Company. Ms. Li, Mr. Hung, Fortune United, Keysmart and Hunwick (together, the ''Concert Group'') are presumed to be parties acting in concert with each other under the Takeovers Code in connection with their voting rights in the Company.

On the assumption that the issued share capital of Company remains at 1,496,261,000 Shares and there is no alteration to the existing shareholdings of the members of the Concert Group, if the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares in full pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the percentage of total issued Shares of Ms. Li, Mr. Hung and Fortune United will increase to approximately the respective percentage shown in the last column above. As a result, the Concert Group (and parties acting in concert with them) may be required to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code absent any waiver to do so being obtained. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent such that an obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code will be triggered.
