LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

By ordinary resolutions passed by the Shareholders on 4 June 2020, general and unconditional mandates were granted to the Directors to issue and repurchase Shares.

During the period from 4 June 2020 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, there had been no repurchase of the Shares by the Company. The above general and unconditional mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

The Directors believe that renewal of such general mandates is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM in order to grant to the Directors the new general and unconditional mandates to exercise the powers of the Company to issue and repurchase Shares:

  1. an ordinary resolution (resolution No. 6) to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to authorise them to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares up to 20% of the aggregate number of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of such resolution (the ''Issue Mandate'');
  2. an ordinary resolution (resolution No. 7) to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to authorise them to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate number of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of such resolution (the ''Repurchase Mandate''); and
  3. conditional upon the passing of the resolutions No. 6 and No. 7 as stated above, an ordinary resolution (resolution No. 8) to extend the Issue Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate number of Shares purchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate provided that such aggregated amount shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of such resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 5,693,702,258. On the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed to allot and issue a maximum of 1,138,740,451 Shares under the Issue Mandate and to repurchase a maximum of 569,370,225 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

Shareholders are invited to refer to the notice of the AGM set out in this circular for details of the abovementioned ordinary resolutions. An explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate, is also set out in Appendix II to this circular.

- 11 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration of the proposed resolutions in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 5,693,702,258 Shares. Subject to the passing of resolution No. 7 approving the Repurchase Mandate as set out in the notice of the AGM set out in this circular 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 569,370,225 Shares until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable law to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority set out in resolution No. 6 by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is the earliest.

REASON FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe 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 Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an increase of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made as and when the Directors believe such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Company may not repurchase the Shares for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from time to time.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the Company's audited accounts contained in the 2020 Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors, however, 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors may from time to time be appropriate for the Company.

- 12 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of 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 purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Lam Lung On and his spouse, Ms. Kwok Ying Lan, the controlling shareholders of the Company, were the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 3,347,696,644 Shares, representing approximately 58.80% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In addition, Mr. Lam and Ms. Kwok were interested in the share options to subscribe for an aggregate of 24,676,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.43% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, and on the assumption that Mr. Lam Lung On and Ms. Kwok Ying Lan do not receive, acquire or dispose of any Shares and exercise any share options, the aggregate shareholding of Mr. Lam Lung On and Ms. Kwok Ying Lan would be increased to approximately 65.33% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase would not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. In addition, in exercising the Repurchase Mandate (whether in full or otherwise), the Directors will ensure that the Company shall comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules, including the minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands.

GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Share to the Company, or that he/she has undertaken not to do so in the event that the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
