LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ADOPTION OF THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE REPORTS OF THE DIRECTORS AND AUDITOR

The 2020 annual report incorporating the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the reports of the Directors and the auditor for the year ended 31 March 2020 will be sent to the Shareholders on 28 July 2020. The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been reviewed by the audit committee of the Company.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 84 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every 3 years. Retiring Directors shall be eligible for re-election.

Accordingly, pursuant to Article 84 of the Articles of Association, the Directors, namely, Ms. Chan Kit Mui, Lina and Mr. Li Ping Chi, shall retire at the AGM. All of the retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the same meeting.

Details of the above named Directors who are subject to re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.

RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

The Board recommended that, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu be re-appointed as the auditor of the Company.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

In order to ensure greater flexibility for the Company to issue new Shares, an ordinary resolution no. 4(A) will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with Shares up to 20 per cent of the number of issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the resolution in relation to such general mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 864,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of ordinary resolution no. 4(A) and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 172,800,000 Shares. In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution no. 4(C), the number of Shares repurchased by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 4(B) will also be added to the 20 per cent general mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution no. 4(A). The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares pursuant to such general mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the Proposed Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares representing up to 10 per cent of the number of issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the resolution in relation to such Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the AGM.

CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS

For determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the AGM of the Company to be held on 26 August 2020, the register of members of the Company will be closed from 21 August 2020 to 26 August 2020 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of shares of the Company will be registered. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the AGM, all transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company's registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on 20 August 2020.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Set out on pages 13 to 18 of this circular is the notice of AGM at which, inter alia, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to Shareholders to consider and approve (i) the adoption of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the reports of the Directors and the auditor for the year ended 31 March 2020; (ii) the re-election of Directors, and to authorise the Board to fix the Directors' remuneration; (iii) the re-appointment of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as the auditor of the Company and to authorise the Board to fix their remuneration; and (iv) the granting to the Directors of general mandates to issue Shares and repurchase Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FORM OF PROXY

A form of proxy is enclosed for use at the AGM. Such form of proxy is also published on the website of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk). Whether or not you intend to be present at the AGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the AGM or any adjourned meeting. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending the AGM or any adjournment thereof and voting in person if they so wish and in such event, the form of proxy will be deemed to be revoked.

VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, 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 Chairman of the AGM shall therefore demand voting on all resolutions set out in the notice of AGM be taken by way of poll pursuant to Article 66 of the Articles of Association.

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or (being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote for each Share registered in his/her name in the register. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote needs not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

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 or this circular misleading.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the above proposals, including but not limited to the proposed resolutions for the granting to the Directors of the general mandate to issue Shares, the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and the re-election of Directors are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

APPENDIX II	EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 864,000,000 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 86,400,000 Shares, which represent 10 per cent of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolutions, during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the Articles of Association or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

SOURCE OF FUNDS

Repurchases must be paid out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Cayman Companies Law. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Cayman Islands laws, any repurchases by the Company may be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Law, out of capital.

Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Law, out of capital.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have 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 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.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

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

- 10 -

APPENDIX II	EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

On the basis of the current financial position of the Group as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 March 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up, the Directors consider that, if the Proposed Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Group as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 March 2020. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Group or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

GENERAL

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

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

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company is increased, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeover Code), depending on the level of increase of such Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer unless a whitewash waiver is obtained.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, New Club House is beneficially interested in 363,528,000 Shares, representing approximately 42.08% of the total issued Shares. Mr. Lau has 100% shareholding in New Club House. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Great Club House is beneficially interested in 284,471,352 Shares, representing approximately 32.92% of the total issued Shares. Ms. Chan has 100% shareholding in Great Club House. As Ms. Chan and Mr. Lau are spouse, Mr. Lau, Ms. Chan, New Club House and Great Club House (collectively, the ''Persons Acting in Concert'') are persons acting in concert. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders, assuming that the present shareholdings and capital structure of the Company remain the same, (i) the interests of the Persons Acting in Concert in Shares would be increased from approximately 75% of the total issued Shares to approximately 83.3% of the total issued Shares; (ii) the interests of New Club House in Shares would be increased from approximately 42.08% of the total issued Shares to approximately 46.75% of the total issued Shares; and (iii) the interests of Great Club House in Shares would be increased from approximately 32.92% to approximately 36.58% of the total issued Shares. Accordingly, the repurchases may have an effect of increasing each of the shareholding of New Club House and Great Club House by more than 2% in any 12-month period and given that each of them is holding between 30% and 50% of the total issued Shares, each of New Club

- 11 -

APPENDIX II	EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

House and Great Club House may be regarded as having an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

In the opinion of the Directors, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate (if such is approved by the Shareholders), an increase in shareholding held by the Controlling Shareholders to approximately 83.3% of the total issued Shares would contravene the requirement under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules that at least 25% of the Shares must be held by the public. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in the level of shareholdings in the Company held by public Shareholders falling below 25%. The Company will comply with the public float requirement under the Listing Rules.

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 Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so if the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) have been made by the Company in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

SHARE PRICES

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

	Highest	Lowest
Month	traded prices	traded prices
	HK$	HK$
2019
