APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate. For the purpose of this appendix, the term "Shares" (unless otherwise stated) shall be as defined in the Code on the Share Repurchases which means shares of all classes and securities which carry a right to subscribe for or purchase shares.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was HK$71,619,000, comprising 716,190,000 Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were outstanding share options granted under Share Option Scheme carrying the rights to subscribe for up to a total of 32,500,000 Shares. If the share options are exercised in full prior to the date of passing of the resolution in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate, a further 32,500,000 Shares will be in issue.

Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution(s) as set out in the notice of the AGM and assuming that no further Shares are issued or purchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Directors will be authorized to purchase up to 71,619,000 Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate. Assuming that the rights attached to all outstanding share options are exercised in full on or before the date of passing of the resolution in respect of the Share Repurchase Mandate and assuming no further Shares are issued or purchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the total number of Shares in issue will be 748,690,000 Shares and the Directors will be authorized to purchase up to 74,869,000 Shares.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to purchase Shares in the market.

Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the asset value of the Company and/or earnings per share or both and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

However, based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020, there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or

- 12 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

gearing position of the Company in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate to the Company.

4. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the proposed resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company and its subsidiaries under the Share Repurchase Mandate if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

5. EFFECT OF THE CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share 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 purpose of Rule 32 of the Code.

As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Code), depending on the level of such increase, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, the collective shareholding of Mr. ZHU Xiaojun, and China Consume Elderly Care Holdings Limited in the Company, was approximately 71.67% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Share Repurchase Mandate and if there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company, the collective shareholding of Mr. ZHU Xiaojun, and China Consume Elderly Care Holdings Limited in the Company, will be increased to approximately 79.63% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase will not give rise to an obligation for China Consume Elderly Care Holdings Limited to make a mandatory general offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Code.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON
