LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 6 September 2019, a general mandate was given by the Company to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE NEW SHARES

Furthermore, at the Annual General Meeting two ordinary resolutions will be proposed which aim to grant to the Directors (i) a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolutions (i.e. not exceeding 393,277,573 Shares based on the issued share capital of the Company of 1,966,387,866 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that such issued share capital remains the same as the date of passing the resolution); and (ii) an extension to the general mandate so granted to the Directors by the addition of any Shares representing the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company after the granting of the general mandate to repurchase up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTOR

Pursuant to Bye-law 87 of the Existing Bye-laws, Mr. Ng Tze Ho Joseph will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, will offer himself for re-election as director of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ADOPTION OF NEW BYE-LAWS

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 30 July 2020. The Board will propose at the Annual General Meeting a special resolution approving the adoption of the New Bye-laws in substitution for and to the exclusion of the Existing Bye-laws to, inter alia, provide flexibility to the Company in relation to the conduct of general meetings; reflect certain amendments to the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda; and make other consequential and housekeeping amendments.

The major areas of amendments that will be incorporated in the New Bye-laws are summarized below:

  1. to allow a general meeting of the Company to be held as hybrid meeting where Shareholders may participate by electronic means in addition to physical meeting where Shareholders attend in person;
  2. to explicitly set out other related powers of the Board and the chairman of the meeting, including making arrangements for attendance at general meetings as well as ensuring the security and orderly conduct of meetings;
  3. to reflect that the share capital of the Company is divided into shares of $0.02 each when the new Bye-laws come into effect;
  4. to allow the Company, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules and any other competent regulatory authority, to give financial assistance for the purpose of or in connection with a purchase made or to be made by any person of any shares in the Company;
  5. to elaborate on issuing of share certificates under the seal of the Company;
  6. to provide that no forfeiture of shares shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give notice of the declaration or make any relevant entry in the register of Shareholders of the Company;
  7. to provide that an annual general meeting of the Company shall be called by notice of not less than 21 clear days and not less than 20 clear business days, and all other general meetings (including special general meeting) shall be called by notice of not less than 14 clear days and not less than 10 clear business days;

- 6 -

  2. to revise the minimum number of Directors from three to two;
  3. to provide that any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy on the Board shall hold office until the first general meeting of Shareholders after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting;
  4. to provide that at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation and every Director shall retire from office by rotation at least once every three years;
  5. to update the provisions on the treatment of a Director's interests and those of his close associates;
  6. to provide that the Board shall have the power to resolve that the Company be discontinued in Bermuda and continued in a named country or jurisdiction outside Bermuda;
  7. to provide that a resolution in writing shall not be passed in lieu of a meeting of the Board for the purposes of considering any matter or business in which a substantial shareholder of the Company or a Director has a conflict of interest and the Board has determined that such conflict of interest to be material;
  8. to elaborate the requirements for keeping the register of Directors and officers of the Company;
  9. to expressly provide that no dividend shall be paid or distribution made out of contributed surplus if to do so would render the Company unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or the realisable value of its assets would thereby become less than its liabilities;

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. to permit the delivery of a notice or document by and to the Company through electronic communications; and
  2. to make other amendments to update or clarify provisions of the bye-laws of the Company where it is considered desirable or to better align with the wordings in the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

The Chinese translation of the proposed New Bye-laws is for reference only. In case of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the English and Chinese versions, the English version shall prevail.

The legal advisers to the Company as to Hong Kong laws have confirmed that the proposed New Bye-laws comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the legal advisers to the Company as to Bermuda laws have confirmed that the proposed New Bye-laws do not violate the applicable laws of Bermuda. The Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed New Bye-laws.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the repurchase of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,966,387,866 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Resolution to repurchase up to a maximum of 196,638,787 fully paid-up Shares representing not more than 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchase 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 of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds which will be legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and bye-laws and the Companies Act and all applicable laws of Bermuda. It is proposed that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Proposal in these circumstances would be financed from available cash flows or working capital facilities of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Companies Act provides that the amount of capital repayable in connection with a repurchase of Shares may only be paid out of the capital paid up on such Shares or out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose. The Companies Act further provides that the amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account before the Shares are repurchased.

- 11 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020 in the event that the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. SHARE PRICES

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

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

- 12 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

6. UNDERTAKING

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 Proposal and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such 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 could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Lun Yiu Kay Edwin through Winland Wealth (BVI) Limited, a company indirect wholly owned by him, owned 1,358,055,354 Shares, representing approximately 69.06 % of the total issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Directors exercised the power to repurchase Shares in full in accordance with the Repurchase Proposal, the interests of Mr. Lun Yiu Kay Edwin and his associates in the Shares would be increased to approximately 79.06 % of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made by the Company under the Repurchase Proposal, if approved at the Annual General Meeting and have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal to such an extent as to result in takeover obligations. In the event that the Repurchase Proposal is exercised in full, the number of Shares held by the public would not fall below 25%.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company and its subsidiaries have not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

- 13 -

    1. the said amount in cash which the holder of such warrant is required to pay on exercise of the subscription rights represented thereby (or, as the case may be, the relevant portion thereof in the event of a partial exercise of the subscription rights); and
    2. the nominal amount of shares in respect of which such subscription rights would have been exercisable having regard to the provisions of the conditions of the warrants, had it been possible for such subscription rights to represent the right to subscribe for shares at less than par

and immediately upon such exercise so much of the sum standing to the credit of the Subscription Rights Reserve as is required to pay up in full such additional nominal amount of shares shall be capitalised and applied in paying up in full such additional nominal amount of shares which shall forthwith be allotted credited as fully paid to the exercising warrantholders; and

  1. if, upon the exercise of the subscription rights represented by any warrant, the amount standing to the credit of the Subscription Rights Reserve is not sufficient to pay up in full such additional nominal amount of shares equal to such difference as aforesaid to which the exercising warrantholder is entitled, the Board shall apply any profits or reserves then or thereafter becoming available (including, to the extent permitted by law, share premium account) for such purpose until such additional nominal amount of shares is paid up and allotted as aforesaid and until then no dividend or other distribution shall be paid or made on the fully paid shares of the Company then in issue. Pending such payment and allotment, the exercising warrantholder shall be issued by the Company with a certificate evidencing his right to the allotment of such additional nominal amount of shares. The rights represented by any such certificate shall be in registered form and shall be transferable in whole or in part in units of one share in the like manner as the shares for the time being are transferable, and the Company shall make such arrangements in relation to the maintenance of a register therefor and other matters in relation thereto as the Board may think fit and adequate particulars thereof shall be made known to each relevant exercising warrantholder upon the issue of such certificate.
