PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE 2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong government at https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html), the Company will implement necessary preventive measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders, proxy and other attendees from the risk of infection, including:

  1. Compulsory body temperature check will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendees at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37 degrees Celsius, or who exhibits flu-like symptoms or is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue.
  2. Every attendee will be required to complete and sign a health declaration form before admission to the AGM venue.
  3. Attendees are required to prepare their own surgical face masks and wear the same inside the AGM venue at all times, and to maintain an appropriate social distance with others (including queuing for registration). Please note that no mask will be provided.
  4. No corporate gifts will be distributed and no refreshments will be served.
  5. Seats at the AGM venue will be arranged to ensure appropriate social distancing. As a result, there will be limited capacity for attendees. Seats will be limited at the meeting and will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM.

In the interest of all attendees' health and safety, the Company wishes to advise all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions duly completed, Shareholders may appoint the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the resolution at the AGM instead of attending the AGM in person.

For the health and safety of Shareholders, the Company encourages Shareholders NOT to attend the AGM in person, and strongly recommends Shareholders to appoint the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the resolutions at the AGM as an alternative to attending the AGM in person.

Subject to the development of the novel coronavirus in Hong Kong, the Company may implement further precautionary measures, and issue further announcement(s) on such measures as and when appropriate.

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS RELATING TO

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS,

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND BUY BACK SHARES

AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM, including (i) the ordinary resolutions in respect of the re-election of the Directors; and (ii) the ordinary resolutions in respect of the grant of the Issue Mandates and the Buy-back Mandate, and to give you notice of the AGM at which these resolutions as set out in the notice of the AGM will be proposed.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 105 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being shall retire from office by rotation. Mr. Chan Wing Fui, Peter, Mr. Chan Wing To and Mr. So Stephen Hon Cheung will retire from the Board by rotation and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

The re-election of each of the Retiring Directors will be individually voted on by the Shareholders. Information of the Directors to be re-elected which are required to be disclosed under Listing Rules are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

If a valid notice from a Shareholder to propose a person to stand for election as a Director at the AGM is received after the printing of this circular, the Company will issue an announcement or a supplementary circular to inform the Shareholders of the details of such additional candidate proposed. If such notice is received less than 10 business days (as defined in the Listing Rules) prior to the date scheduled for the AGM, the Company will need to consider the adjournment of such meeting in order to allow shareholders 10 business days' notice of the nomination.

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND BUY BACK SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 September 2019, ordinary resolutions were passed to grant the general mandates to the Directors to issue and buy back Shares. These general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

The Directors believe that the renewal of such mandates is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors general mandates to (i) allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution; (ii) allot, issue and deal with the additional Shares bought back by the Company under the Buy-back Mandate (as defined hereinunder) (the mandates

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

referred to in (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to as the "Issue Mandates"); and (iii) buy back, inter alia, Shares on the Stock Exchange, the aggregate number of which does not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution (the "Buy-backMandate"), at any time during the period ending on the earlier of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Articles of Association to be held; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting. With reference to the Issue Mandates and the Buy-back Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares or to buy back any Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandates and the Buy-back Mandate, respectively.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 206,747,688 Shares. On the basis of such figure (and assuming no further Shares are issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing such resolutions), the Directors would be authorised to allot, issue and deal with up to 41,349,537 Shares and buy back up to 20,674,768 Shares.

An explanatory statement containing the particulars required by Chapter 10 of the Listing Rules to provide Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution for approving the Buy-back Mandate, which also constitutes the memorandum required under section 239(2) of the Companies Ordinance, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice of the AGM is set out on pages 10 to 12 of this circular. Ordinary resolutions in respect of the re-election of the Directors, the Issue Mandates and the Buy-back Mandate will be proposed at the AGM. A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM in person, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the registered office of the Company at 22 Tai Yau Street, San Po Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjourned meeting thereof should you so wish.

Shareholders are advised to read the notice and to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy for use at the AGM in accordance with the instructions printed thereon.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and Article 75 of the Articles of Association, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The Company will announce the poll results in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of 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 Group. 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 misleading.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed resolutions for (i) the re-election of the Directors; and (ii) the grant of the Issue Mandates and the Buy-back Mandate are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and, accordingly, recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

GENERAL

Yours faithfully,

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the Buy-back Mandate and also constitutes the memorandum required under section 239(2) of the Companies Ordinance:

  1. It is proposed that up to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Buy-back Mandate may be bought back. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 206,747,688 Shares. On the basis of such figure (and assuming no further Shares are issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing such resolution), the Directors would be authorised to buy back up to 20,674,768 Shares.
  2. The Directors believe that it may be to the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders to buy back the Shares in certain circumstances. For example, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, such buy-backs may enhance the net assets and/or earnings per Share. Therefore, the Directors are seeking the grant of the Buy-back Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate.
  3. The Companies Ordinance provides that the Company may only make a payment in respect of a buy-back of the Shares out of the distributable profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buy-back. In any event, the Company will and may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association and the Laws of Hong Kong.
  4. As compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020, the Directors do not consider that the exercise in full of the Buy-back Mandate would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company. In any event, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to make buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company's working capital requirements or gearing levels.
  5. None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, have any present intention, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, to sell Shares to the Company under the Buy-back Mandate.
  6. The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the powers of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the Laws of Hong Kong so far as the same may be applicable.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

  1. As at the Latest Practicable Date and according to the records kept by the Company, Mr. Chan Wing Fui, Peter, Mr. Chan Wing Kee, Mr. Chan Wing To, Madam Chan Suk Man and Mr. Chan Wing Sun, Samuel and their close associates (collectively, the "Chan Family") are together interested in approximately 51.46% of the issued Shares. Assuming that the shareholding interests of the Chan Family remain unchanged, upon the exercise in full of the Buy-back Mandate to buy back Shares by the Directors, the Chan Family will be interested in approximately 57.17% of the issued Shares. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers as a consequence of any buy-back made pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate.
  2. No buy-back has been made by the Company of the Shares in the six months prior to the date of this circular.
  3. None of the core connected persons of the Company have notified it of a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Buy-backs Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.
  4. The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months prior to the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:
