The Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM by way of passing an ordinary resolution for granting the general mandate to the Directors (i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares with an aggregate number not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution and the extension of the aforesaid mandate by addition thereto the number of Shares repurchased pursuant to the proposed general mandate for repurchase of Shares up to a maximum number equivalent to 10% of total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution as described below, and (ii) to repurchase Shares up to a maximum number equivalent to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of passing the relevant resolution, at any time during the period ending on the earlier of the date of the next annual general meeting, the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or its Bye-laws or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in the general meeting of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 6,156,928,860 Shares. On the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM,

  1. the Issue Mandate in full would enable the Company to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 1,231,385,772 Shares, and (ii) the Repurchase Mandate in full would enable the Company to repurchase a maximum of 615,692,886 Shares.

The purpose of the general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares is to enable the Directors to capture right timing of the securities market to widen the capital base of the Company. The Directors have no present intention to issue or repurchase any Shares under the general mandates to be sought at the AGM.

An explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules for information on the general mandate to repurchase Shares is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

According to Bye-laws 87, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not greater than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation, provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with Bye-laws 86(2) of the Company, Dr. Deng Ke will retire by rotation at the forthcoming annual general meeting and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election.

The nomination committee of the Company ("Nomination Committee") has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's board diversity policy and the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of all independent non-executive Directors. The Company considers that the retiring independent non-executive Directors, Dr. Wong Kai Kit and Dr. Deng Ke, are independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules and will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity.

The Nomination Committee is of the view that the four retiring Directors have extensive experience in different fields and professions that are relevant to the Company's business. In addition, their respective educational background, experience and knowledge allow them to provide valuable and relevant insights and contribute to the diversity of the Board. Accordingly, the Nomination Committee has recommended them to the Board for re-election and the Board has endorsed the recommendations of the Nomination Committee and recommended all the four retiring Directors to stand for re-election at the forthcoming AGM.

Details of the above retiring Directors to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Save as disclosed in this circular, there are no other matters in relation to the proposed re-election of Directors that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

AGM

The notice of the AGM is set out on pages AGM-1 to AGM-5 of this circular. At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, among other things, to approve (i) the grant of general mandates to Directors to issue and repurchase Shares; and (ii) the re-election of the retiring Directors.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is sent to the Shareholders together with this circular.

Whether or not the Shareholders are able to attend the AGM, the Shareholders are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time for holding of the AGM or adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude the Shareholders from attending and voting at the AGM or any adjourned meeting thereof should the Shareholders so wish. If you attend and vote at the AGM, the authority of your proxy will be revoked.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Therefore, all resolutions put to the vote at the AGM will be taken by way of poll. An announcement on the results of the poll will be published by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under the Listing Rules.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board believes that the proposed granting of the general mandates to the Directors to repurchase Shares and to issue new securities and adding any Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate to the Issue Mandate and the re-election of Directors to be put before the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

GENERAL

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on any resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. The Board confirm that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there was no voting trust or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (other than an outright sale) entered into by or binding upon any Shareholder and there was no obligation or entitlement of any Shareholder whereby he/she has or may have temporarily or permanently passed control over the exercise of the voting right in respect of his/her Shares to a third party, either generally or on a case-by-case basis.

MISCELLANEOUS

Your attention is also drawn to the information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board

Dr. Liu Ruopeng

Chairman and Executive Director

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules relating to an ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM to approve a general and unconditional mandate to be given to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to purchase, at any time until the next annual general meeting of the Company or such earlier period as stated in the ordinary resolution, Shares of HK$0.01 each in the capital of the Company, up to a maximum number equivalent to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolution.

The Directors believe the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and accordingly recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the AGM.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 6,156,928,860 Shares. Subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution for the granting of the Repurchase Mandate 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 615,692,886 Shares.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors consider that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. 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 its assets and/or 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.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be funded entirely from funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Hong Kong. It is presently proposed that any Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate would be repurchased out of the capital paid up on the repurchased Shares, profits of the Company which would otherwise be available for distribution or the Company's share premium account.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or gearing levels of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

None of the Directors, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their respective associates, having any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of his/her Shares, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.

TAKEOVERS CODE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

In the event that the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares 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 a 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Directors and according to the register of substantial shareholders interests in Share kept under section 336 of Part XV of the SFO, as at the Latest Practicable Date, New Horizon and Sky Asia Holdings Limited held 2,778,000,000 Shares and 500,000 Shares respectively, representing approximately 45.12% and 0.01% of the Shares in issue of the Company. For the purpose of the Takeovers Code, Dr. Liu Ruopeng is deemed to have interest in New Horizon and Sky Asia Holdings Limited with a total of 2,778,500,000 Shares, representing approximately 45.13% of the Shares in issue of the Company. If the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and assuming that there are no further changes in the ownership structure of the Company, Dr. Liu Ruopeng will be

- I-2 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

interested in 50.14% of the Shares in issue of the Company. The Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeover Code and accordingly, it is not anticipated that purchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate will give rise to any consequences under the Takeover Code.

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences of any purchases made under the Repurchase Mandate which may arise under the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that the aggregate amount of Shares in public hands would reduce below 25%.
