  1. ADOPTION OF SHARE AWARD SCHEME
    The Board is pleased to announce that it has resolved to adopt the Scheme on the Adoption Date. A summary of the Scheme Rules is set out below:
    Purposes and Objectives
    The specific objectives of the Scheme are:
    1. to recognise and motivate the contributions by certain Eligible Participants and to give incentives thereto in order to retain them for the continual operation and development of the Group;
    2. to attract suitable personnel for further development of the Group; and
    3. to provide certain Eligible Participants with a direct economic interest in attaining a long-term relationship between the Group and certain Eligible Participants.

Administration

The Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board. In the event that a Selected Participant or his/her associate is a member of the Board, such person will abstain from voting on any approval by the Board of an award of Shares to such Selected Participant. The Board may, by passing resolutions, appoint any one or more senior management of the Company as authorised representative(s) to give instructions or notices to the Trustee on all matters in connection with the Scheme and other matters in the routine administration of the Trust.

The Trustee will hold the Shares and the income derived therefrom in accordance with the Scheme Rules and subject to the terms of the Trust Deed.

Duration

Subject to any early termination as may be determined by the Board pursuant to the Scheme Rules, the Scheme shall be valid and effective for a term of 10 years commencing on the Adoption Date.

Maximum Limit

The Board shall not make any further grant of award of Shares under the Scheme such that the total number of Shares granted under the Scheme will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares as of the Adoption Date.

The Board shall not instruct the Trustee to subscribe for and/or purchase any Shares for the purpose of the Scheme when such subscription and/or purchase will exceed 5% of the total number of issued Shares as of the Adoption Date.

- 6 -

Restrictions

No instructions and no payments to purchase Shares shall be given to the Trustee when any Director is in possession of unpublished inside information in relation to the Company or where dealings by Directors are prohibited under any code or requirement of the Listing Rules and all applicable laws from time to time. The Board may not make an award of Shares pursuant to the Scheme to any Director during the periods or times in which the Directors are prohibited from dealing in Shares pursuant to the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers as prescribed by the Listing Rules or any corresponding code or securities dealing restrictions adopted by the Company.

Operation

Pursuant to the Scheme Rules, the Board may, from time to time, at its absolute discretion select any Eligible Participant(s) for participation in the Scheme as a Selected Participant and determine the number of Shares to be awarded. The Board shall, after having regard to all relevant circumstances and affairs of the Group including without limitation the Group's business and financial performance of the Group, determine the maximum amount of funds to be allocated by the Board out of the Company's resources for the purchase or subscription of the awarded Shares, as the Board deems appropriate, pursuant to the Scheme. The Board, through its authorised representative(s), shall cause to pay the Trustee the subscription or purchase price for the Shares and the related expenses from the Company's resources. The Trustee shall purchase from the open market or subscribe for the relevant number of Shares awarded and shall hold such Shares until they are vested in accordance with the Scheme Rules.

When the Selected Participant has satisfied all vesting conditions specified by the Board at the time of making the award and become entitled to the Shares forming the subject of the award, the Trustee shall transfer the relevant vested Shares (awarded Shares and all related income in the form of Shares derived from such Shares held upon the Trust (including but not limited to any bonus Shares and scrip Shares received in respect of the awarded Shares)) to that Selected Participant at no cost.

On the vesting date, if the Selected Participant who is resident in a place where the award of the awarded Shares and/or the vesting and transfer of Shares pursuant to the terms of the Scheme Rules is not permitted under the laws and regulations of such place or where in the view of the Board or the Trustee (as the case may be) compliance with applicable laws and regulations in such place make it necessary, the Board may determine and through its authorised representative(s) direct the Trustee to sell the relevant awarded Shares at the prevailing market price and pay the net sale proceeds and to such Selected Participant.

- 7 -

Subject to Scheme Rules, a Selected Participant is not entitled to any rights attaching to the unvested and awarded Shares (including but not limited to voting rights, rights to dividends or distributions). All cash income, cash dividend and sale proceeds of non- cash and non-scrip distribution in respect of an unvested awarded Share held upon the Trust will be applied in priority towards (a) the purchase of further Shares to be held upon trust referable to the relevant Selected Participants and the payment of the relevant purchase expenses and (b) the remainder, if any, to defray the fees, costs and expenses in connection with the administration and maintenance of the Trust.

Vesting and Lapse

A Selected Participant shall be entitled to receive the awarded Shares held by the Trustee in accordance with the vesting schedule upon when the Selected Participant has satisfied all vesting conditions specified by the Board at the time of making the award. Vesting of the awarded Shares will be conditional on the Selected Participant remaining a director or employee of the Group until and on each of the relevant vesting dates and his/her execution of the relevant documents to effect the transfer from the Trustee.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, an award shall automatically lapse when (i) a Selected Participant ceases to be an Eligible Participant for whatever reason, or (ii) the subsidiary employing the Selected Participant ceases to be a subsidiary, or (iii) the Board shall at its absolute discretion determine in respect of a Selected Participant (other than a Selected Participant who is an employee) that (a) the Selected Participant or his associate has committed any breach of any contract entered into between the Selected Participant or his associate on one part and any member of the Group; or (b) the Selected Participant has committed any act of bankruptcy or has become insolvent or is subject to any winding-up, liquidation or analogous proceedings or has made any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or (c) the Selected Participant could no longer make any contribution to the growth and development of any member of the Group by reason of the cessation of its relationship with the Group or by any other reasons whatsoever; or (iv) an order for the winding-up of the Company is made or a resolution is passed for the voluntary winding - up of the Company (otherwise than for the purposes of, and followed by, an amalgamation or reconstruction in such circumstances that substantially the whole of the undertaking, assets and liabilities of the Company pass to a successor company), save that in the case when a Selected Participant dies, or retires at his/her normal retirement date or earlier by agreement with the Company or any member of the Group prior to a vesting date or unless otherwise determined by the Board, all the awarded Shares and the related income shall be deemed to be vested on the day immediately prior to his/her death or retirement at his/her normal retirement date or earlier by agreement with the Company or any member of the Group. In case there is no claim of the vested awarded Shares and the related income by the legal representative of the deceased Selected Participant within two years of the death of the Selected Participant (or such longer period as the Board shall determine from time to time) or the Trust Period (whichever is shorter), such vested awarded Shares and the related income shall be forfeited and be held as Returned Shares for the purposes of the Scheme.

- 8 -

In the event (i) a Selected Participant is found to be an Excluded Participant or (ii) a Selected Participant fails to return duly executed transfer documents for the relevant Shares awarded and the related income within the stipulated period, the relevant part of an award made to such Selected Participant shall automatically lapse forthwith and the relevant Shares awarded and related income shall not vest on the relevant vesting date but shall become Returned Shares for the purposes of the Scheme.

If there occurs an event of change in control (as specified in The Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-back from time to time) of the Company, whether by way of offer, merger, scheme of arrangement or otherwise, the Trustee shall seek instructions from the Board, through its authorised representative(s), to determine whether all the awarded Shares and related income shall vest and the time at which such awarded Shares and related income shall vest.

Returned Shares

The Trustee shall hold Returned Shares as part of the trust fund exclusively for the benefit of all or one or more of the Selected Participants, whether the awardee is a Selected Participant at the time of award, as the Board in its absolute discretion shall at any time determine.

Voting Rights

The Trustee shall not exercise the voting rights in respect of any Shares held under the Trust (including but not limited to the awarded Shares, further Shares acquired out of the income derived therefrom, the Returned Shares, any bonus Shares and scrip Shares).

Share Award to Directors and/or Connected Persons

Shares may be awarded to Eligible Participants, including the directors of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and/or connected persons of the Company. If Shares are awarded to any director of the Company and/or its subsidiaries and/or connected persons of the Company, such awards shall constitute connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and the Company shall comply with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules.

Termination

The Scheme shall terminate on the earlier of the 10th anniversary date of the Adoption Date or such date of early termination as determined by the Board provided that such termination shall not affect any subsisting rights of the Selected Participants.

- 9 -

Upon termination, (i) all awarded Shares and the related income derived therefrom shall become vested on the Selected Participants so referable on such date of termination save in respect of those lapsed as a result of Partial Lapse or Total Lapse, subject to the receipt by the Trustee of the transfer documents duly executed by the Selected Participants within the stipulated period, (ii) Returned Shares and such non-cash income remaining in the trust fund shall be sold by the Trustee, as soon as practicable but in any event within 21 Business Days (on which the trading of the Shares has not been suspended) of receiving notice of such termination of the Scheme (or such longer period as the Board may otherwise determine) at the then prevailing market price, and (iii) net sale proceeds of the Returned Shares and such non-cash income together with the residual cash and such other funds remaining in the Trust (after making appropriate deductions in respect of all disposal costs, liabilities and expenses in accordance with the Trust Deed) shall be remitted to the Company forthwith after the sale.

The Subscription represents a valuable opportunity for the Company to raise fund to further strengthen its capital base and financial position, thereby laying down a more solid foundation for the Company to further its business development and accelerate its growth in the financial market. The Subscription also reflected Mr. Chen's confidence and support for the development of the Company and provide an opportunity to create a further alignment between the Company and Mr. Chen. The net proceeds from the Subscription is expected to be approximately HK$273 million and is expected to be applied by the Company as to 30% for personnel expansion, as to 30% for IT infrastructure enhancement and as to 40% for the development of the property leasing business.

The Scheme forms part of the incentive schemes of the Group. The Board considers that the award of the Awarded Shares to Mr. Chen provides incentives to Mr. Chen by aligning the interests of Mr. Chen directly to the Shareholders through ownership of Shares. Further, the Scheme will also allow the Group to retain talents for the continual operation and development of the Group with the objective to increase the value of the Company in a long run. Furthermore, there will not be any actual cash outflow by the Group under the award of the Awarded Shares to provide incentives to the Selected Participants.

Based on the foregoing, the Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Subscription and the Award are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
