LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

In order to ensure flexibility to the Directors, in the event that it becomes desirable to issue any Share, approval is to be sought from Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for a general mandate to issue Shares. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution no. 6(1) will be proposed to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot and issue new Shares up to 10 per cent. of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to such general mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 676,865,000. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot and issue new Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to allot a maximum of 67,686,500 Shares during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting. In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution no. 6(3), the number of Shares purchased by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 6(2) will also be added to the 10 per cent. general mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution no. 6(1).

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

In addition, an ordinary resolution no. 6(2) will be proposed to provide the Directors with the authority to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares representing up to 10 per cent. of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to such Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.

DECLARATION AND PAYMENT OF A FINAL DIVIDEND

The Board recommended the declaration and payment of a final dividend of HK8 cents per Share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2018, totaling HK$54,149,000. The final dividend is subject to approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Ordinary resolution no. 2 will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the payment of the final dividend. The final dividend, if approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, will be payable on 31 May 2019 to Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on 17 May 2019. For details on closure of the register of members of the Company for entitlement to the final dividend, please refer to the paragraph headed ''Closure of Register of Members'' below.
