By ordinary resolutions passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 August 2019, the Directors were granted (a) a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares; (b) a general mandate to repurchase the Shares; and (c) the power to extend the general mandate mentioned in (a) above by an amount representing the total number of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the mandate to repurchase Shares referred to in (b) above.

  1. to grant the General Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares of up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution. And as at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 5,111,953,447 Shares in issue and assuming that, prior to the AGM, no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company, the total number of Shares that may be issued under the General Mandate will be 1,022,390,689 Shares;
  2. to grant a Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to enable the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution; and
  3. to increase the number of Shares to be issued and allotted under the General Mandate by an additional number representing such number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give the Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate. For such purpose, an explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The Directors have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares under the General Mandate other than such Shares which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of any options granted under the Share Option Scheme or any scrip dividend scheme which may be approved by the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to Bye-law no. 86(2) of the Bye-laws, any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election.

According to Bye-law no. 87(1) of the Bye-laws at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director, including those appointed for a specific term, shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years.

According to Bye-law no. 86(2) of the Bye-laws, Mr. Ma Chao and Mr. Liu Hongqiang were appointed as an Executive Director and a Non-executive Director respectively after the last general meeting and will hold office until the next following annual general meeting of the Company. Mr. Ma Chao and Mr. Liu Hongqiang will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

According to Bye-law no. 87(1) of the Bye-laws, Mr. Zheng Hao Jiang and Mr. Zhu Lei, both being an Executive Director, and Mr. Lam Kwok Cheong ("Mr. Lam"), being an Independent Non- executive Director, will retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

The Nomination Committee of the Company noted that the re-election and further appointment of Mr. Lam, who had been serving as the independent non-executive Director for more than 9 years, will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with code provision A.4.3 of the corporate governance code as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure, size and composition of the Board, the qualifications, skills, experience, time commitment, contribution and the independence of Mr. Lam as an Independent Non-executive Director with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's Board diversity policy and nomination policy for Directors as well as the Company's corporate strategy. Mr. Lam is the Chairman of the Nomination Committee and a member of the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee of the Company. During his tenure of office, Mr. Lam had been able to fulfill all the requirements regarding his independence as independent non-executive Director. The Company has received from Mr. Lam a confirmation of independence according to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. He had been providing objective and independent views to the Company over the years, and he remains committed to his independent roles. Furthermore, with his background and experience, Mr. Lam is fully aware of the responsibilities and expected involvements in the Company. Besides, Mr. Lam does not hold more than 1% of the number of issued shares of the Company.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

By following the criteria set out in the nomination policy for Directors of the Company and measurable objectives set out in the Board diversity policy of the Company together with taking into account the contribution and time commitment by Mr. Lam to the Company, the members of the Nomination Committee are of the view that the long service of Mr. Lam would not affect his exercise of independent judgment and are satisfied that Mr. Lam has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of being an independent non-executive Director. The Nomination Committee hereby proposed the re-appointment of Mr. Lam as an Independent Non-executive Director to the Board and made recommendations to the Shareholders for the re-election of Mr. Lam at the AGM.

The Board, through the assessment and recommendation made by the Nomination Committee, is of the view that Mr. Lam remains independent notwithstanding the length of his service with the Company and should be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting.

Details of the Directors offering themselves for re-election, as required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules, are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information 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 to the Directors.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the company are listed and such other stock exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction. The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and the Bye-laws to repurchase its own securities.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 5,111,953,447 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any outstanding share options to be exercised for Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution as set out in the AGM Notice and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Directors will be authorised to repurchase up to 511,195,344 Shares, being 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the proposed resolution, pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association, the Bye-laws, the Listing Rules, the Companies Act and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might not have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with its position as at 31 March 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Group were made up. Further, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

Shares repurchase

The Company has repurchased a total of 101,800,000 of its own Shares at an aggregate consideration of HK$25,903,096.00 during the six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date. The details are as below:

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their Associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the securities in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM and exercised.

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 purchases of the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, applicable laws of Bermuda, the memorandum of association of the Company and the Bye-laws.

If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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.

- 11 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Kei Kin Hung ("Mr. Kei"), held 2,461,360,000 Shares in long position representing about 48.15%. Among these 2,461,360,000 Shares, (i) 2,152,976,000 Shares are held by Sparkle Roll Holdings Limited ("SRHL") which is wholly-owned by Mr. Kei; (ii) 248,536,000 Shares are held by Mr. Kei as beneficial owner; and (iii) 59,848,000 Shares are held by Ms. Qi Meihe ("Ms Qi"), who has entered into a concert party agreement with Mr. Kei.

On the basis that 5,111,953,447 Shares were in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there would be no further issue nor repurchase of Shares which are subsequently cancelled and that Mr. Kei, SRHL and Ms. Qi would not dispose of their Shares or acquire additional Shares prior to the date of the AGM, if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full, the percentage shareholding of Mr. Kei would increase to approximately 53.5%, which will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that as would give rise to such obligation. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Codes as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in less than 25% of the Shares being held by the public.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no connected person (within the meaning ascribed to it in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any securities of the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any of the securities held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.

The Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date except those mentioned in the paragraph headed "Shares repurchase" above.
