APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing securities on the Stock Exchange from a “core connected person”, that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective close associates and a core connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its securities to the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/ she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the 2018 AGM.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 800,000,000 issued Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased and cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the 2018 AGM, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of the 2018 AGM. The Repurchase Mandate will remain in effect until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held by the Articles, the Companies Law or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider 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 the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 9 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the applicable law and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles for such purpose.

5. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with those as at 31 March 2018, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

6. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest market prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Trade Prices
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2017
June 0.500 0.430

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the 2018 AGM.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles.

8. EFFECT OF TAKEOVER CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Company’s exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in 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.

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any such consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised. As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best of knowledge and belief of the Company, the following persons were directly or indirectly interested in 5% or more of the nominal value of the issued Shares that carry a right to vote in all circumstances at general meetings of the Company:

Percentage of
shareholding in
the Company’s
Number of issued share
Name of shareholders Nature of interests Shares held capital
Cheers Mate Holding Limited Beneficial owner 580,000,000 (L) 72.5%
Mr. Lam Kin Wing Eddie Interest of a controlled
(Note 1) corporation 580,000,000 (L) 72.5%
Ms. Cheng Pui Wah Theresa
(Note 2) Interest of spouse 580,000,000 (L) 72.5%

(L) denotes long position

– 11 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Notes:

  • (1) Mr. Lam Kin Wing Eddie beneficially owns 100% of the issued share capital of Cheers Mate Holding Limited. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Lam is deemed to be interested in 580,000,000 Shares held by Cheers Mate Holding Limited.

  • (2) Ms. Cheng, Pui Wah Theresa is the spouse of Mr. Lam Kin Wing Eddie. By virtue of the SFO, Ms. Cheng is deemed to be interested in the same number of Shares in which Mr. Lam Kin Wing Eddie is deemed to be interested under the SFO.

Therefore, Mr. Lam Kin Wing Eddie, together with his close associates as above-stated, was taken to be interested in the Shares as above-listed, and was a substantial Shareholder of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company and the number of Shares held by Mr. Lam, together with his close associates as above-stated, remains unchanged, the interests of Mr. Lam and his close associates as above-stated in the issued share capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 80.56% and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

On the basis of the current shareholdings of the above Shareholders, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not result in any of them becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of the above Shareholders, or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25% as required by the Listing Rules. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are currently not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

9. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the previous six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

10. CORE CONNECTED PERSON

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

– 12 –
