  3. the re-election of retiring Directors; and

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

The Directors have been granted a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with the Shares pursuant to the ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 22 May 2020. As at the Latest Practicable Date, such general mandate has not been utilised and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted a general unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with the Shares not exceeding the aggregate of 20% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 500,000,000. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution, assuming that there would be no change to the number of issued shares prior to the AGM, the maximum number of new Shares which can be issued under the Issue Mandate will be 100,000,000 Shares, representing 20% of the number of the issued share as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Details of the Issue Mandate are set out in the ordinary resolution as referred to in resolution no. 4 of the notice of the AGM.

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

The Directors have been granted a general unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to purchase Shares pursuant to the ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 22 May 2020. As at the Latest Practicable Date, such repurchase mandate has not been utilised and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted a general unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to purchase or repurchase the Shares not exceeding the aggregate of 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An explanatory statement giving the particulars required under the Listing Rules in respect of the Repurchase Mandate to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision whether to vote for or against the resolution is set out in the Appendix I to this circular.

Details of the Repurchase Mandate are set out in the ordinary resolution as referred to in resolution no. 5 of the notice of the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 500,000,000. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution assuming that there would be no change in the number of the issued shares prior to the AGM, the maximum number of shares which can be repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate would be 50,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the number of the issued share as at the Latest Practicable Date.

EXTENSION OF THE ISSUE MANDATE

In addition, if the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate are granted, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by the addition to the number of the Shares which may be allotted, issued and dealt with or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted, issued and dealt with by the Directors pursuant to the Issue Mandate of an amount representing the number of the issued Shares purchased or repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, provided that such number of shares shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued shares as at the date of passing the resolution for approving the Issue Mandate.

Details of the extension of the Issue Mandate are set out in the ordinary resolution as referred to in resolution no. 6 of the notice of the AGM.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Nomination Committee had also taken into account of the respective contributions of Mr. Joe Kwok, Mr. Kwok and Mr. Hong to the Board and their commitment to their roles. The Nomination Committee was satisfied with the independence of Mr. Hong having regard to the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

Mr. Hong, who is proposed to be re-elected as an independent non- executive Director of the Company, confirmed to the Company that he did not, as at the Latest Practicable Date, hold seven or more directorship in any listed companies.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 500,000,000 Shares were in issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities to subscribe for the Shares.

Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date until the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 50,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Repurchase Mandate will remain in effect until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required to be held by the Articles, the Companies Law or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, may lead to enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or the earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The number of the Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms on which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

3. SOURCE OF FUNDS AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

The Company is empowered by the Articles to repurchase its Shares. In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum, the Articles, the applicable laws of Cayman Islands and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, as the case may be.

- 11 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Company may not repurchase its own Shares 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 in effect from time to time.

Subject to the foregoing, any repurchase of the Shares by the Company may be made out of profits of the Company, out of share premium, or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of the Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any amount of premium payable on the purchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be out of profits of the Company, out of the Company's share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased, or subject to the Company Law, out of capital.

As compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2020, the Directors consider that there could be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing level of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full during the proposed purchases period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing level which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for a Company.

4. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution for the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

5. INTENTION TO SELL SHARES

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed resolution for the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any of their Shares to the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell their Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to sell any of their Shares to the Company, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares.

- 12 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

6. CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If, as a result of a repurchase of the Shares by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any such consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders had interests representing 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:

Notes:

  1. Conquer is owned as to 2% by Mrs. Kwok, 49% by Mr. Joe Kwok and 49% by Mr. Ken Kwok. As each of Mr. Joe Kwok and Mr. Ken Kwok hold 49% shareholding interest in Conquer, each of Mr. Joe Kwok and Mr. Ken Kwok is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Conquer under the SFO.
  2. Ms. Lee is the spouse of Mr. Joe Kwok and is deemed to be interested in all the Shares interested by Mr. Joe Kwok for the purposes of the SFO.
  3. Ms. Siu is the spouse of Mr. Ken Kwok and is deemed to be interested in all the Shares interested by Mr. Ken Kwok for the purposes of the SFO.
  4. On 3 January 2019, Mr. Kwok, Mrs. Kwok, Mr. Joe Kwok and Mr. Ken Kwok entered into the confirmatory deed to acknowledge and confirm, among other things, that they are parties acting in concert in respect of each of the members of our Group since their respective dates of incorporation and shall continue to do so after the date of the confirmatory deed. Accordingly. Mrs. Kwok, Mr. Joe Kwok, Mr. Ken Kwok and Conquer are considered as a group of Controlling Shareholders and Mrs. Kwok is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Conquer under the SFO.
  5. Mr. Kwok is the spouse of Mrs. Kwok and is deemed to be interested in all the Shares interested by Mrs. Kwok for the purposes of the SFO.

In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company and the number of Shares held by Conquer (which is owned as to 2%, 49%, 49% by Mrs. Kwok, Mr. Joe Kwok and Mr. Ken Kwok, respectively) together with its close associates remain unchanged, the interests of Conquer and its close associates in the issued share capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 65.77% and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

- 14 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued shares of the Company would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
