Reference to the "Joint Statement in relation to General Meetings in light of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation" jointly issued by the Stock Exchange and the SFC on 1 April 2020 in relation to the arrangement of the Annual General Meeting.

VOTING BY PROXY IN ADVANCE OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Company does not in any way wish to diminish the opportunity available to the Shareholders to exercise their rights and to vote, but is conscious of the pressing need to protect the Shareholders from possible exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the health and safety of the Shareholders, the Company would like to encourage Shareholders to exercise their right to vote at the Annual General Meeting by appointing the chairman of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy instead of attending the Annual General Meeting in person. Physical attendance is not necessary for the purpose of exercising Shareholders' rights. Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude the Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof should they subsequently so wish.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Company will implement the following preventive measures at the Annual General Meeting to safeguard the health and safety of the attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders:

  • (i) compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee at the entrance of the Annual General Meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.5 degrees Celsius will be requested to stay in an isolated place for completing the voting procedures;

  • (ii) all Shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to complete and submit at the entrance of the Annual General Meeting venue a declaration form confirming their names and contact details, and confirming that they have not travelled to, or had physical contact with any person who to their best of knowledge has recently travelled to, any affected countries or areas outside Hong Kong (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong Government atwww.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html) at any time in the preceding 14 days. Any person who does not comply with this requirement will be requested to stay in an isolated place for completing the voting procedures;

  • (iii) every attendee will be required to wear a surgical face mask throughout the Annual General Meeting. Please note that no masks will be provided at the Annual General Meeting venue and attendees should bring and wear their own masks;

  • (iv) seating at the Annual General Meeting will be arranged so as to reduce interaction between participants; and

(v) no refreshments will be served and there will be no corporate gifts.

-i-

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and consistent with recent guidelines for prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the Annual General Meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the Annual General Meeting instead of attending the Annual General Meeting in person.

The Company will closely monitor the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and any regulations or measures introduced or to be introduced by the Hong Kong Government in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will ensure that the Annual General Meeting will be conducted in compliance with the regulations or measures of the Hong Kong Government and Shareholders will not be deprived of their right of voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting. Further announcements will be made by the Company as soon as possible if there is any update to the preventive measures as mentioned above.

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSALS INVOLVING GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATES

TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES;

(2) RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;

AND

(3) NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

At the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed to seek the Shareholders' approval for, among other things, (i) the granting of the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors; and (ii) the re-election of Directors.

*

For identification purposes only

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for the granting of the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the re-election of Directors and the notice of the Annual General Meeting.

GENERAL MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed to seek the approval of the Shareholders to:

  • (i) grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution (i.e. the General Mandate);

  • (ii) grant to the Directors an unconditional general mandate to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution (i.e. the Repurchase Mandate); and

  • (iii) extend the General Mandate by authorising the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate shall continue in force from the date of passing of the resolutions until whichever is the earliest of:

  • (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company;

  • (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws, the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda or any other applicable laws of Bermuda to be held; and

  • (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying the General Mandate (including the extended General Mandate) or the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be).

On the basis of 198,958,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that (i) the resolutions approving the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate are passed at the Annual General Meeting; and (ii) no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 39,791,600 Shares under the General Mandate and repurchase a maximum of 19,895,800 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement, as required under the Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information regarding the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Bye-law 111, Mr. Siu Yuk Shing, Marco, Ms. Mon Wai Ki, Vicky and Mr. Lau Chun Kay will retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. All of them, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to re-elect Mr. Siu Yuk Shing, Marco and Ms. Mon Wai Ki, Vicky as executive Directors and Mr. Lau Chun Kay as an independent non-executive Director.

Mr. Lau Chun Kay has served as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years since his appointment in December 1996. Pursuant to the code provision A.4.3 of the CG Code, (a) having served the company for more than nine years could be relevant to the determination of an independent non-executive director's independence; and (b) if an independent non-executive director has served more than nine years, his further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders.

The Company has received from Mr. Lau Chun Kay confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Mr. Lau Chun Kay has not engaged in any executive management of the Group. Taking into consideration their independent scope of work in the past years, the Directors consider Mr. Lau Chun Kay to be independent under the Listing Rules despite the fact that Mr. Lau Chun Kay has served the Company for more than nine years.

When identifying suitable candidates for directorship, the nomination committee of the Company carries out the selection process by making reference to the skills, experience, background, professional knowledge, personal integrity and time commitments of the proposed candidates, and also the Company's needs and other relevant statutory requirements and regulations required for the positions. All candidates must be able to meet the standards as set forth in Rules 3.08 and 3.09 of the Listing Rules. A candidate who is to be appointed as an independent non-executive Director should also meet the independence criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Qualified candidates will then be recommended to the Board for approval.

In considering the re-election of Mr. Lau Chun Kay as an independent non-executive Director, the Board, with the assistance and recommendation from the nomination committee of the Company, has reviewed the structure, size, composition and diversity of the Board from a number of aspects, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and ethnic background, professional qualification, skills, knowledge and length of service. The Board considers that Mr. Lau Chun Kay possesses rich experience in his industries and is able to provide valuable advices in areas of accounting, finance, legal and/or business to the Company, thus contributing to better corporate governance of the Company. The Board is also of the view that during the tenure of Mr. Lau Chun Kay as an independent non-executive Director, he has made positive contributions to the Company's strategy, policies and performance with his independent advice, comments, judgment from the perspective of his background coupled with his general understanding of business of the Group. He contributes to the diversity of the Board in age, gender and cultural background.

Mr. Lau Chun Kay does not act as directors of seven or more listed companies. The Board believes that he can commit sufficient time to assume his director's duties.

Details of the Directors offering themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular is the notice of the Annual General Meeting to be held on Tuesday, 18 May 2021. A form of proxy for use in connection with the Annual General Meeting is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Registrars Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Annual General Meeting (i.e. Sunday, 16 May 2021 at 11:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time)) or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof should you so wish but the authority of your proxy will be deemed to have been revoked.

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. An announcement will be made by the Company after the Annual General Meeting on the results of the Annual General Meeting.

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 Company. 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 Board believes that the proposals described in this circular in relation to the granting of the General Mandate (including the extended General Mandate), the Repurchase Mandate and re-election of Directors are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends all Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

GENERAL

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendices to this circular.

MISCELLANEOUS

The English text of this circular shall prevail over the Chinese text for the purpose of interpretation.

Yours faithfully

For and on behalf of the Board Perennial International Limited

Koo Di An, Louise

Chairman

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide Shareholders with all the relevant information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

1. PROVISIONS OF THE LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF

SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the more important of which are summarised below. The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and bye-laws to repurchase its own shares.

Repurchase must be funded entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital facilities, which will be funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the memorandum of association and bye-laws of the Company and the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the "Companies Act"). Under the Companies Act, a company may only repurchase its shares out of capital paid up on the shares to be repurchased or out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. According to the Companies Act, any amount of premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares may only be effected out of funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account.

Such repurchase may only be made if, on the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the repurchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was HK$19,895,800 divided into 198,958,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.10 each.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the grant of the Repurchase Mandate, and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 19,895,800 Shares (representing 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution).

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangement at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchase would be funded entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the memorandum of association and bye-laws of the Company and the laws of Bermuda.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 31 December 2020, being the date of its latest audited 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.

5. SHARE PRICES

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

6. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Bermuda and the Company's memorandum of association and bye-laws.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person of the Company had notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares held by him to the Company nor has such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If, on the exercise of the powers to repurchase 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 purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Codes. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Spector Holdings Limited, together with their parties acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Codes) and their respective associates, were beneficially interested in 146,802,000 Shares. Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could result in an increase in the shareholding of Spector Holdings Limited, together with their parties acting in concert and their respective associates, from approximately 73.79% to 81.98%. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes but would reduce the amount of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the total number of issued Shares. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in a requirement of any of the above Shareholder or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or in the amount of Shares held by the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY
