GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND BUY BACK SHARES

  1. General mandates granted at the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 May 2020 (''2020 AGM'')

At the 2020 AGM, ordinary resolutions were passed, among other things, to grant general mandates to the Directors to:

  1. issue up to 20% of the aggregate number of Shares then in issue (i.e. a maximum of 1,355,891,625 Shares) (the ''Previous Issue Mandate'');
  2. buy back up to 10% of the aggregate number of Shares then in issue (i.e. a maximum of 677,945,812 Shares) (the ''Previous Buy-back Mandate''); and
  3. extend the Previous Issue Mandate by an additional number of Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Previous Buy-back Mandate.

No Shares had been issued nor bought back by the Company pursuant to the above mandates.

(II) Proposed refreshment of the general mandates at the AGM

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 6,779,458,129 Shares in issue. At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to the effect the Directors be granted:

  1. the Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares of up to an aggregate of not exceeding 20% of the issued Shares as at the date of the AGM (i.e. of not exceeding 1,355,891,625 Shares assuming no further Shares will be issued or bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM);
  2. the Buy-back Mandate to buy back Shares of up to an aggregate number of not exceeding 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of the AGM; and
  3. the Extension Mandate to increase the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Issue Mandate by an additional number of Shares which may be bought back under the Buy-back Mandate.

Such resolutions are set out in resolution nos. 5(A), 5(B) and 5(C) in the Notice of AGM respectively. The previous mandates under (I) above will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed by the Board to seek approval from the Shareholders at the AGM to grant fresh general mandates to the Directors.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

1. EXERCISE OF THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 6,779,458,129 Shares. Subject to the passing of the Buy-back Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 677,945,812 Shares (representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue) during the period from the date of the AGM up to:

  1. the conclusion of next annual general meeting of the Company; or
  2. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or
  3. the revocation or variation of the Buy-back Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company,

whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR THE BUY-BACK OF SHARES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back Shares in the market. Such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or the earnings per Share. Buy-back of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

Any buy-back will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purposes in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of Hong Kong. The Company will not buy back securities on the Stock Exchange 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.

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 published audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the proposed Buy-back Mandate, if so approved, were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing level, which in the opinion of the Directors, is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. BUY-BACK OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No buy-back of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the past six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

6. UNDERTAKING/INTENTION

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make buy back of Shares pursuant to the proposed Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws and regulations of Hong Kong and the Articles of Association.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 12 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company of a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

7. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a share buy-back by the Company, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Emperor Watch & Jewellery Group Holdings Limited (''Emperor W&J Holdings'') held 4,290,850,000 Shares in the Company, representing approximately 63.29% of the total number of Shares in issue. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the proposed Buy-back Resolution, then (assuming such shareholding as at the Latest Practicable Date otherwise remain the same) the shareholding of Emperor W&J Holdings in the Company would be increased to approximately 70.32% of the total number of Shares in issue. The Directors consider that such an increase would not give rise to an obligation on the part of Emperor W&J Holdings to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors will exercise the power conferred by the Buy-back Mandate to buy back Shares in circumstances which they deemed appropriate for the benefits of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
