1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information regarding

resolutions to be proposed at the AGM relating to, among other things, (i) the re-election of retiring Directors, namely Mr. Li Chi Kong, Mr. Lam Chi Shing and Ms. Li Ming; (ii) the granting to the Directors of the Issuance Mandate and Repurchase Mandate; and (iii) the proposed change of auditor.

2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election.

Pursuant to Article 112 of the Articles of Association, The Board shall have power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Director but so that the number of Directors so appointed shall not exceed the maximum number determined from time to time by the Shareholders in general meeting. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office only until the first annual general meeting of the Company after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting. Any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Any Director appointed under this Article shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

Pursuant to Article 108 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Li Chi Kong, Mr. Lam Chi Shing and Ms. Li Ming shall retire from office by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any directors proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders' approval at that relevant general meeting. A brief biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SECURITIES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES

The Directors consider that the proposals for Issuance Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will increase the flexibility in dealing with the Company's affairs and are in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and that the same shall be adopted by the Company.

It will therefore be proposed at the forthcoming AGM to approve the granting of general mandates to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company:

  1. to allot, issue or otherwise deal with additional securities of the Company and to make or grant offers, agreements and options, including warrants to subscribe for Shares and other rights of subscription for or conversion into Shares, up to 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution (the "Issuance Mandate"); and
  2. to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution (the "Repurchase Mandate").

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution in respect of the granting of the Issuance Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, a maximum of 227,866,038 new Shares, representing 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, shall be allotted, issued or otherwise dealt with under the Issuance Mandate.

The Issuance Mandate and Repurchase Mandate will continue to be in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the AGM or any earlier date as referred to in ordinary resolutions 4 and 5 set out in the AGM Notice. A resolution authorising the extension of the Issuance Mandate to include the total number of such Shares repurchased (if any) under the Repurchase Mandate will be proposed as ordinary resolution 6 set out in the AGM Notice. With reference to the Issuance Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any securities of the Company or to repurchase any Shares pursuant thereto.

An explanatory statement containing the particulars required by the Listing Rules to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITOR

ZHONGHUI will retire as the auditor of the Company upon expiration of its current term of office at the close of the AGM and will not seek for re-appointment due to estimated time costs that will be incurred in the audit and level of audit fee.

The Board, with recommendation of the audit committee of the Company, proposes to appoint BDO as the new auditor of the Company at the AGM and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM.

ZHONGHUI has confirmed to the Board that there are no matters in relation to its retirement as the auditor of the Company that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

The Board and the audit committee of the Company have confirmed that they are not aware of any matters in relation to the proposed change of auditor that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

5. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The AGM Notice is set out in Appendix III to this circular. A copy of the 2018/19 Annual Report is despatched to the Shareholders together with this circular. At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the re-election of retiring Directors; the granting of the Issuance Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, and the change of auditor.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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. Accordingly, all resolutions to be proposed at the AGM as set out in the AGM Notice shall be voted by poll. An announcement on the results of the vote by poll will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for the AGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Registrars Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, 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. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish.

6. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed ordinary resolutions for approval of the re-election of the retiring Directors, which include Mr. Li Chi Kong, Mr. Lam Chi Shing and Ms. Li Ming, the grant of the Issuance Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issuance Mandate to include the total number of such Shares repurchased (if any) under the Repurchase Mandate, and the change of auditor are each in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and accordingly, recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

7. GENERAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular. The English text of this circular shall prevail over the Chinese text.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AS TO REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities (which shall include, where the context permits, shares of all classes and securities which carry a right to subscribe or purchase shares) on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions amongst which the Listing Rules provided that the shares proposed to be repurchased by a company must be fully-paid up and all repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders either by way of general mandate to the Directors to make such repurchases or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue is 1,139,330,190 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be permitted under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 113,933,019 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of granting of the Repurchase Mandate, 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 date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that an authority to repurchase Shares is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangement of the Company at the time, result in an increase in earnings per share. The Directors are seeking the Repurchase Mandate so as to give the Company additional flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

While it is not possible to anticipate any specific circumstances in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make repurchases in circumstances where they consider it to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 10 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AS TO REPURCHASE MANDATE

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and all applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, including profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of the Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position of the Company as disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019 contained in the 2018/19 Annual Report. However, the Directors 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 are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to make repurchases in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association.

DIRECTORS AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor (to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries) any close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Directors have any present intention, in the event that the grant to the Directors of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, of selling any Shares to the Company.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, nor have they undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.

HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase the 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 of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Share Buy-backs Code and, if such increase results in a change of control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for the securities of the Company under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

Note:

1. Ms. Cheung Kit Shan, Susanna is deemed to be interested in the Shares under the SFO by virtue of being the spouse of Mr. Lee Wa Lun, Warren.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to Section 336(1) of the SFO and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors: Mr. Lee Wa Lun, Warren, a substantial Shareholder and the executive Director together with parties acting in concert with him (including his spouse Ms. Cheung Kit Shan, Susanna) holds 227,250,000 Shares, representing approximately 19.94% of the issued share capital of the Company.

On the basis of 1,139,330,190 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the AGM, if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full, the shareholding percentage (if the present shareholding remains the same) of Mr. Lee Wa Lun, Warren, together with all his concerted parties would increase to approximately 22.16%.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of the exercise of the power in full under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent that it will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer or will result in the total number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the total number of Shares in issue.
