Share options granted to authorized dealers, franchisees and a consultant

Under the Existing Share Options Scheme, a total of 21,460,000 share options were granted to 29 individuals who were owners of authorized dealers and franchisees, and one consultant who provided legal and human resources services to the Group. The granting of share options to such individuals of the Group was in line with the purpose of the Existing Share Option Scheme which is to incentivize or reward the individuals for their contributions to the development and growth of the business and operations of the Group.

Authorized dealers and franchisees have played critical roles in the maintaining and enhancing the Company's position (including the brand of the Company). To achieve substantial growth and economies of scale, continued expansion would be required. Authorized dealers and franchisees would operate retail outlets in cities and provinces which would help increase and penetrate the Company's presence in the relevant markets. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were approximately 758 stores in mainland China and approximately 2,110 stores in other parts of the world. In addition to enhancing the Company's position in the relevant markets, authorized dealers and franchisees would also allow the Company to develop a deeper understanding of consumer tastes and preferences (e.g. fabrics, colors and advertising). This would allow the Company to develop and implement different strategies for different markets, investigate a variety of market entry opportunities, and better monitor performance.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the wholesales and franchise business (which were generated through the Company's authorized dealers) generated approximately HK$369 million in sales in mainland China and overseas franchisee markets (representing approximately 12.59% of the Group's revenue), in particular, the revenue generated through authorized dealers and franchisees in mainland China for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to approximately HK$209 million (representing approximately 6.69% of the Group's revenue). The granting the share options to the authorized dealers and franchisees would not only help reward their past contributions to the Group, it would also help align their interests with that of the Group, and incentivizing them to be more proactive in their merchandising discipline and marketing efforts, which would in turn increase the Group's market shares and development in the local markets.

In addition, 600,000 share options (the new Shares which may be issued and allotted pursuant to the exercise of the options would represent approximately 0.04% of the Company's total issued share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date) were granted to a legal and compliance consultant (the "Consultant") on September 9, 2020 in recognition of the efforts and contributions made by the Consultant (who has extensive legal and compliance knowledge) who helped devise and implemented the Group's human resources policies in the mainland China. The Consultant is a PRC legal counsel who has practised over 30 years. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were approximately 1,600 employees in mainland China. In order to allow the Company to operate effectively with such number of employees in different cities and provinces in China, not only specialized knowledge would be required, continuing efforts and dedication would also be needed in updating the policies in line with the ever-changing local labor laws and regulations would also be needed. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Consultant continued to provide consultancy services to the Company. It is anticipated that the Consultant would continue to provide legal, compliance and human resource management services to the Group in mainland China.

In considering whether to grant cash payment or non-cash alternatives to the Consultant, the Board came to the view that one-off monetary payment would not provide sufficient incentives for the Consultant to continuously review and update the human resources policies to ensure they remain both cost-effective and compliant, whereas the granting of share options would align his interests with that of the Group and secure his long-term support and commitment to the Group, and overall incentivize him to optimize performance efficiency and quality.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board has no intention to grant any Options to the Consultant under the New Share Option Scheme in the coming 12 months.

Proposed Adoption of the New Share Option Scheme

The Directors proposed to adopt the New Share Option Scheme, the principal terms of which are set out in the Appendix II to this Supplemental Circular.

The purpose of the New Share Option Scheme is to enable the Group to grant Options to the eligible Participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Group. The Directors believe the New Share Option Scheme will enable the Group to reward the eligible Participants including the employees and Directors.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors believe that the grant of share options to a broad category of Eligible Participants including Category B Eligible Persons and Category C Eligible Persons is in the interests of the Group as a whole, and in line with the objectives of the New Share Option Scheme. The success of the Group not only depends on the contributions by the Employees and management of the Group, but also requires the co-operation and contributions from shareholders and external service providers as they play important roles in the development and growth of the business and operations of the Group. Accordingly, it is important that the Group is able to maintain good relationship with them. Including such persons in the New Share Option Scheme is to give more flexibility to the Company to incentivise and reward such persons who are expected to have a long term relationship with the Group so that they may participate in the growth of the Group and continue to contribute to the benefit of the Group.

A Category B Eligible Person (includes a shareholder of the Group, any Controlling Shareholder or any company controlled by a Controlling Shareholder) contributes to the Group by being a long-term strategic investor or partner of the Group or by introducing business opportunities to the Group as well as participating in its business promotion. Category B Eligible Persons would generally have presence and/or business networks in other parts of the world. By leveraging on their network and resources, the Company would be able to analyze the local consumer preference in other markets and devise more effective strategies to penetrate into new markets. In addition, in view of the shareholders' extended presence and connections with local business and services providers in other markets, they could generate leads, referrals or introductions to the Group of (a) reputable operators who may join the Group's network of authorized dealers and franchisees (whereby it would help the Company to maintain and enhance the Company's position in those markets); (b) collaboration opportunities with other local businesses or brands on business projects or marketing campaigns for the relevant local markets; or

  1. reliable business or technical consultants who may serve as the Group's key consultants in developing its business in various geographical or consumer segments (through both online and offline channels).

With their extensive range of business network and operations, Category B Eligible Persons would be able to connect the Group with quality overseas business operators or business collaborators who have a solid track record in their respective industry in their respective local markets with a deep understanding of the consumer market or strong expertise in their relevant fields.

In determining the eligibility of Category B Eligible Persons under the New Share Option Scheme, the Board may consider whether such referral(s) or introduction(s) potentially or in actuality contributes to the business affairs of and benefits to the Group by such factors as, the likelihood of it leading to the onboarding of authorized dealers/ franchisees, new business collaborations or business or technical consultants, the background, quality and track record of the onboarded parties and the extent that the onboarded parties can respectively help launch and penetrate the Group's brands and business operations in untapped markets across the world or further expand or solidify the Group's presence and branding in existing markets.

The Board is of the view the grant of Options to a Category B Eligible Person will incentivize and reward them for their continuing commitment to the Group, thereby fostering long-term development of the Group.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group's business development which requires long-term and sustainable business relationships with Category C Eligible Persons (includes joint venture partners, franchisees, consultants and advisers, suppliers, customers, business partners, landlords or tenants of the Group, or the controlling shareholder thereof). The Board acknowledges that it needs to maintain the existing and develop new business relationships with the aforesaid stakeholders who have provided or will provide high-quality products, services, professional advice, expertise and other support to the Group, as well as a stable business stream and enhancement of brand goodwill and geographic market share so as to maintain the competitiveness of the Group. Furthermore, the Board considers it is desirable for the Company to align the interests of such parties with those of the Group, to reward them for their past contributions and loyalty in maintaining a continued business relationship with the Group and to encourage potential contributions and optimal behavior of such persons to the benefit of the Group. The Board is of the view that the grant of Options to such parties is necessary and appropriate to achieve such goal, and the Options will offer incentives for their continued contributions to the Group including, among others, by incentivising franchisees to be more proactive in their merchandising disciplines and marketing efforts, incentivising consultants and advisers to offer more considered recommendations to advance the interest of the Group, incentivising suppliers and service providers to provide higher quality raw materials, goods, and/or services to the Group, incentivising business partners to introduce more suitable business opportunities or referral to the Group and incentivising customers to maximise their order quantity and frequency with the Group and to take a more active role in promoting the business of the Group.

The Board considers that grant of the Options to Category C Eligible Persons will align their interests with that of the Group, which would in the long-term, and draw in key players of various industries that would help contribute to the Groups growth and development.

The Directors are of the view that contributions of each type of Category B Eligible Person and Category C Eligible Person are of paramount importance to the success of the Group as a whole, and henceforth such persons to be given incentives to participate in the growth of the Group in the form of granting Options. As there may be a degree of uncertainty as to the effectiveness (or profitability, as the case may be) of certain contributions made by Category B Eligible Persons and Category C Eligible Persons, the Board considers that the granting of share options instead of or in addition to fixed monetary terms (as the case may be) would give the Company greater flexibility, and serve as a better cost-control measure from the Company's perspective as well as a greater incentive from the perspective of the counter-parties. In this connection, the Board is of the view that reserving the flexibility to grant share options to such persons when opportunities arise and it is considered appropriate, is in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

The terms of the New Share Option Scheme are consistent with the Existing Share Option Scheme which have been approved by the Shareholders. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no share options have been granted to Category B Eligible Persons under the Existing Share Option Scheme. The Directors considered that the New Share Option Scheme, which will be valid for ten (10) years from the adoption date, will provide the Company with more flexibility in long term planning of granting of the share options to eligible persons in a longer period in the future, e.g. considering granting share options after the expiry of the Existing Share Option Scheme.

The New Share Option Scheme does not provide for any minimum period for holding of options or any performance target before exercise of options which can provide appropriate incentives or rewards to the eligible Participants for their contribution to the Group. Under the New

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Share Option Scheme, the Board will have discretion in determining the Subscription Price (subject to the Listing Rules) in respect of any Option. The Directors are of the view that the flexibility given to the Directors to determine the Subscription Price will place the Group in a better position to reward its employees and retain human resources that are valuable to the growth and development of the Group as a whole.

The Board will be responsible for administering the New Share Option Scheme. With respect to the operation of the Share Option Scheme, the Company will comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. There is no trustee appointed for the purposes of the New Share Option Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date. In the event that a trustee is appointed in respect of the New Share Option Scheme in the future, the Company will ensure that no Director will become such a trustee or has any direct or indirect interest in such a trustee.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to grant any Options under the New Share Option Scheme in the coming 12 months.

Pursuant to the note to Rule 17.03(2) of the Listing Rules, the Board has sought legal advice on the prospectus requirements of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) in relation to the New Share Option Scheme proposed to be adopted.

Scheme mandate limit and maximum number of Shares issuable

Subject to obtaining of the Shareholders' approval of the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all the options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not, in aggregate, exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of approval of the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme pursuant to Rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules. Based on the 1,577,896,518 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company before the AGM, the maximum number of Shares to be issued upon the exercise of Options that may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme under such initial mandate limit is 157,789,651 Shares. The Company may seek approval of the Shareholders in general meetings to refresh the ten percent (10%) initial mandate limit. Notwithstanding that the mandate limit may be refreshed, the Board shall not grant Options which would result in the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all the outstanding options granted, but yet to be exercised under the New Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company which entitle the holders to acquire or subscribe for Shares exceeding, in aggregate, thirty percent (30%) of the issued share capital of the Company from time-to-time.

The number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of all granted but outstanding options under the Existing Share Option Scheme is 203,764,000. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Options had been granted under the New Share Option Scheme. The total number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of all granted but outstanding Options under the Existing Share Option Scheme and the New Share Option Scheme would amount to 361,553,651 Shares (representing approximately 22.91% of the Company's total issued share capital) as at the Latest Practicable Date. Assuming that (1) there is no change to the total number of Shares in issue from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the AGM; (2) the Existing Share Option

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Scheme will be terminated by resolution at the AGM; and (3) the New Share Option Scheme will be adopted at the AGM, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all the Options granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme and the Options to be granted under the New Share Option Scheme (if adopted), will be under the said 30% limit.

Value of the Options

The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to state the value of the Options that may be granted pursuant to the New Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted at the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors believe that any statement regarding the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date will not be meaningful to the Shareholders and to a certain extent would be misleading to the Shareholders, taking into account the number of variables which are crucial for assessing the value of the Options which have not been determined. Such variables include the Subscription Price, the Option Period and all other relevant variables.

Conditions precedent of the New Share Option Scheme

The adoption of the New Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:

  1. the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve and adopt the New Share Option Scheme; and
  2. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, any Shares to be allotted and issued by the Company pursuant to the exercise of the Options which may be granted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New Share Option Scheme.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options under the New Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors' knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has any material interest in the proposed termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme and the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme. As such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the 2021 AGM to approve the termination of the Existing Share Option Scheme and the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme.

DOCUMENT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION

A summary of the principal terms of the rules of the New Share Option Scheme is set out in the Appendix II to this Supplemental Circular. A copy of the New Share Option Scheme is available for inspection at the Company's principal place of business in Hong Kong at 5th Floor, Tin On Industrial Building, 777-779 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong during the normal business hours on any business day from the date hereof up to the date of the AGM and will be available for inspection at the AGM (and any adjournment thereof, as the case may be).

APPENDIX I SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS ABOUT COMPLETION AND SUBMISSION OF THE SECOND PROXY FORM

A Shareholder who has not yet lodged the First Proxy Form with the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar is requested to lodge the Second Proxy Form with the instructions printed thereon if the Shareholder wishes to appoint proxy/proxies to attend the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) on its/his/her behalf. In this case, the First Proxy Form should not be lodged with the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar.

A Shareholder who has already lodged with the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar the First Proxy Form should note that:

  1. If no Second Proxy Form is lodged, the First Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by the Shareholder. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder will be entitled to vote in accordance with the instructions previously given by the Shareholder or at its/his/her discretion (if no such instructions are given) on any resolution properly put to the AGM, including the additional/revised proposed resolution set out in the Supplemental Notice of AGM.
  2. If the Second Proxy Form is lodged with the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar before the Closing Time, the Second Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will revoke and supersede the First Proxy Form previously lodged by it/him/her. The Second Proxy Form will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by the Shareholder.
  3. If the Second Proxy Form is lodged with the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar after the Closing Time, or if lodged before the Closing Time but is incorrectly completed, the proxy appointment under the Second Proxy Form will be invalid. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder under the First Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will be entitled to vote in the manner as mentioned in (a) above as if no Second Proxy Form was lodged. Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to complete the Second Proxy Form carefully and lodge with the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar the Second Proxy Form with the Hong Kong Branch Share Registrar before the Closing Time.

Shareholders are reminded that completion and submission of the First Proxy Form and/or the Second Proxy Form shall not preclude Shareholders from attending the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) and voting in person should they so wish.

If you are a non-registered Shareholder (i.e. your Shares are held through an intermediary, for example, a bank, custodian or securities broker) or registered in the name of your nominee, you will not receive the Second Proxy Form directly from the Company, and you will need to give instructions to your intermediary/nominee to vote on your behalf. If you wish to attend and vote at the AGM, you should seek authorisation to do so from your intermediary/nominee directly.

The Board shall endeavour to procure that the Shares issued as a result of the exercise of Options under this paragraph shall for the purposes of such compromise or arrangement form part of the issued share capital of the Company on the effective date thereof and that such Shares shall in all respects be subject to such compromise or arrangement. If for any reason such compromise or arrangement is not approved by any court in Bermuda (whether upon the terms presented to the court in Bermuda or upon any other terms as may be approved by such court in Bermuda) the rights of Grantees to exercise their respective outstanding Options (which have been suspended in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph) shall with effect from the date of the making of the order by the court in Bermuda disapproving such compromise or arrangement be restored in full and shall thereupon become exercisable (but subject to the other terms of the New Share Option Scheme) as if such compromise or arrangement had not been proposed by the Company and no claim shall be made against the Company or any of its officers for any loss or damage sustained by any Grantee as a result of the aforesaid suspension.

6.04 In respect of any Option granted to a company which qualified as a Participant because it was a company controlled by a person ("Such Person") who was a Category A Eligible Person or Category B Eligible Person or Category C Eligible Person (as the case may be):

  1. the relevant provisions set out in paragraph 6.03(a) or (b) or (c) above (as the case may be) would apply to its outstanding Option, which would accordingly lapse and determine pursuant to such provisions, mutatis mutandis as if the Option had been granted to Such Person; and
  2. its outstanding Option shall lapse and determine on the date it ceases to be a company controlled by Such Person,

provided always that in each case the Board in its absolute discretion may decide that such Option or any part thereof shall not so lapse or determine subject to such conditions or limitations as they may decide.

6.05 If the Board in the offer granting the relevant Option have specified that the Option Holder has to meet certain continuing eligibility criteria and that the failure of the Option Holder to meet any such continuing eligibility criterion would entitle the Company to cancel the Option then outstanding (or part thereof), then upon the failure of the Option Holder to meet any such continuing eligibility criterion, his outstanding Option shall lapse and determine on the date the Board exercises the Company's right to cancel the Option on the ground of such failure.

THE NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

6.06 Notwithstanding anything in these Rules to the contrary, the Option Period shall not be extended and, on the expiry of the Option Period, all rights in respect of an Option for the time being outstanding shall terminate, except in so far as there has been an effective exercise of that Option prior thereto and the Company has not discharged all its obligations under the Scheme in relation to such exercise.

6.07 The Shares to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of an Option will be subject to all the provisions of the Bye-laws for the time being in force and will rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid Shares in issue on the date on which the Option is duly exercised or, if that date falls on a day when the register of members of the Company is closed, the first business day of the re-opening of the register of members (the "Exercise Date") and accordingly will entitle the holders to participate in all dividends or other distributions (including distributions or any return of capital upon the winding up of the Company) paid or made on or after the Exercise Date other than any dividend or other distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made if the record date therefor shall be before the Exercise Date.

An Option shall lapse automatically and not be exercisable (to the extent not already

exercised) on the earliest of:

  2. the expiry of any of the periods or dates referred to in paragraph 6.03(a), (b), (c), (e) or (f) above;
  3. the date of the commencement of the winding-up of the Company;
  4. the proposed compromise or arrangement as referred to in paragraph 6.03(f) above becomes effective;

8. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR SUBSCRIPTION

8.01 The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the Shares in issue from time to time. No Option may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes if this will result in the maximum number of the Shares referred to in this paragraph being exceeded. Options lapsed or cancelled in accordance with the terms of the New Share Option Scheme or any other schemes shall not be counted for the purposes of calculating the said thirty percent (30%) limit.

8.02 Subject to paragraph 8.01, 8.03 and 8.04, the total number of Shares available for issue upon exercise of all Options which have been or may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes must not, in aggregate, exceed 157,789,651 Shares representing ten percent (10%) of the Shares in issue as at the date on which the New Share Option Scheme becomes unconditional (the "Scheme Mandate Limit") unless an approval by Shareholders at general meeting has been obtained pursuant to paragraph 8.03 below. The Company may seek the approval of the Shareholders in general meeting to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit and a circular shall be issued to the Shareholders.

8.03 The Company may seek the approval of the Shareholders in general meeting for "refreshing" the Scheme Mandate Limit such that the total number of Shares in respect of which Options may be granted under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes as "refreshed" shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the approval of the Shareholders, provided that Options previously granted under the New Share Option Scheme or any other schemes (including Options outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the terms of the New Share Option Scheme or any other schemes) will not be counted for the purposes of calculating the limit as "refreshed". For the purpose of seeking the approval of the Shareholders under this paragraph, the Company shall issue to the Shareholders a circular containing the information required under rule 17.02(2)(d) of the Listing Rules and the disclaimer required under rule 17.02(4) of the Listing Rules.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF

8.04 The Company may seek separate approval of the Shareholders in general meeting to grant Options beyond the Scheme Mandate Limit, provided that the Options in excess of the Scheme Mandate Limit are granted only to Participants specifically identified by the Company before such approval is sought and the Company shall issue a circular to the Shareholders containing a general description of the specified Offerees, the number and terms of the Options to be granted, the purpose of granting such Options to the Offerees with an explanation as to how the terms of the Options serve such purpose and the information required under rule 17.02(2)(d) of the Listing Rules and the disclaimer required under rule 17.02(4) of the Listing Rules.

  1. The total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the Options granted and to be granted to each Grantee (including both exercised and outstanding Options) in any 12-month period up to the Date of Grant to each Grantee must not exceed one percent (1%) of the aggregate number of Shares for the time being in issue. Where any further grant of Options to a Grantee would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Options granted and to be granted to such Grantee (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding Options) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such further grant representing in aggregate over one percent (1%) of the aggregate number of Shares for the time being in issue, such further grant must be separately approved by the Shareholders in general meeting with such Grantee and his associates abstaining from voting. The Company shall issue a circular to the Shareholders disclosing the identity of the Grantees, the number and terms of the Options granted and to be granted (including Options previously granted) and the information required under rule 17.02(2)(d) of the Listing Rules and the disclaimer required under rule 17.02(4) of the Listing Rules. The number and terms (including the Subscription Price) of the Options to be granted to such Grantee must be fixed before the Shareholders' approval is sought and the date of the meeting of the Board for proposing such further grant should be taken as the Date of Grant for the purpose of calculating the Subscription Price.

9. REORGANISATION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

  1. In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of the Company whilst any Option remains exercisable, whether by way of capitalisation issue, rights issue, consolidation, sub-division or reduction of the share capital of the Company (other than any alteration in the capital structure of the Company as a result of an issue of Shares as consideration in respect of a transaction to which the Company is party), such corresponding alterations (if any) shall be made to:
    1. the number or nominal amount of Shares subject to the Option so far as not being exercised; and/or

    1. any such alteration shall be made on the basis that the proportion of the issued share capital of the Company to which a Grantee is entitled after such alteration shall remain the same as that to which he was entitled before such alteration, but no such alteration shall be made to the extent that the effect of which would be to enable any Share to be issued at less than its nominal value; and
    2. the issue of Shares or other securities of the Group as consideration in a transaction shall not be regarded as a circumstance requiring any such alteration in respect of any alteration referred to in this paragraph, other than any made on a capitalisation issue, the Independent Financial Adviser or the Auditor must confirm to the Board in writing that the alteration satisfy the requirements of the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules.

9.02 The capacity of the Independent Financial Adviser or the Auditor in this paragraph is that of experts and not of arbitrators and their certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the Company and the Grantees. The costs of the Independent Financial Adviser or the Auditor shall be borne by the Company.

9.03 If there has been any alteration in the capital structure of the Company as referred to in paragraph 9.01 above, the Company shall within twenty-eight (28) days after receipt of the Independent Financial Adviser's or Auditor's certificate as referred to in paragraph 9.01 above, inform each Grantee of such alteration and of any adjustment to be made in accordance with the Independent Financial Adviser's or Auditor's certificate obtained by the Company for such purposes.
