LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws, Ms. Tang Fung Kwan and Mr. Goh Gen Cheung shall retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. All of them, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The biographical details of the aforesaid retiring Directors who stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

Mr. Goh Gen Cheung has served as an independent non-executive Director of the Company for more than nine years. According to the code provision A.4.3 of Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, further appointment of Mr. Goh as an independent non-executive Director should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. The Nomination Committee of the Company has reviewed and assessed his annual confirmation of independence based on the independence factors set out in Rule

3.13 of the Listing Rules. With his extensive treasury and banking experience, Mr. Goh has provided valuable independent advice for the Group's business development in his previous tenures. As Mr. Goh is not involved in the day-to-day management of the Company and there is no evidence that his independence would be affected by his length of term, the Board considers that Mr. Goh will continue to provide valuable contributions to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and therefore recommends the Shareholders to vote for his re-election.

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

An ordinary resolution relating to the Share Issue Mandate will be proposed which, subject to the said resolution being passed at the Annual General Meeting, empowers the Directors to allot, issue and deal with new Shares of not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution during the period up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the applicable laws or the Bye-laws of the Company to be held, or (iii) the date of revocation or variation of the said resolution by passing an ordinary resolution in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting, whichever is the earliest. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were in issue an aggregate of 666,190,798 Shares. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, no more than 133,238,159 Shares may be allotted and issued by the Company if the Share Issue Mandate is exercised in full.

At the Annual General Meeting, another ordinary resolution will also be proposed to grant to the Directors a general mandate to repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange representing 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 resolution.

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Proposal is set out in Appendix II to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution.

5

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolutions regarding the Share Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Proposal, a separate resolution will also be proposed to grant a general mandate to the Directors to include the aggregate nominal amount of Shares which may from time to time be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal to the Share Issue Mandate.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 12 to 16 of this circular.

A form of proxy is enclosed with this circular for use at the Annual General Meeting. Whether or not you intend to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy to the office of the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar, 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 appointed for the holding of the Annual General Meeting (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.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at the Annual 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Directors are of the opinion that (i) the re-election of retiring Directors, (ii) the Share Issue Mandate and (iii) the Repurchase Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend you to vote in favour of all the relevant resolutions to be proposed at 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.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

THE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for Shareholders' approval whereby the Directors will be given a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase its issued Shares subject to the criteria as set out in this appendix.

While it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstances in which the Directors might consider it appropriate to repurchase Shares, the Directors believe that the grant of a general mandate to repurchase Shares would provide the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the material time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such purchases in circumstances where they consider them to be in the best interests of the Company. On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 30th April 2020 (being the date on which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up) and in particular the working capital or gearing position of the Company at that time and the number of Shares now in issue, the Directors consider that there may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchase mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, no repurchase would be made in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, nor if on the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the repurchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

SOURCE OF FUNDS

Repurchase must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose. Any repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted in accordance with its memorandum of association and Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda to be utilized for this purpose, including profits available for distribution and sums standing to the credit of the shares premium account of the Company, the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or out of capital, if the Company is able, immediately following such payment, to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were in issue an aggregate of 666,190,798 Shares. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, not more than 66,619,079 Shares may be repurchased on the Stock Exchange.

DIRECTORS AND CONNECTED PERSONS

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

9

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

No persons who are 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 nor have they undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

UNDERTAKING TO THE STOCK EXCHANGE

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Bermuda, and the Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws of the Company.

HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

If, as a result of a share repurchase, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code and, if such increase results in a change in control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a general offer for Shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO, (i) Mr. Lam Kwok Chung ("Mr. Lam") had an interest in 442,295,660 Shares of the Company, representing approximately 66.39% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such 442,295,660 Shares are ultimately held by a discretionary trust (the "Trust") (of which Mr. Lam is a discretionary beneficiary) through Ka Yan China Development (Holding) Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ka Yan China Investments Limited, for the purpose of the SFO; and (ii) each of Ka Yan China Investments Limited, the ultimate holding company of the Company, and HSBC International Trustee Limited, the trustee of the Trust, is deemed to be interested in 442,295,660 Shares, representing approximately 66.39% of the issued share capital of the Company, and duplicates with each other forming the Shares in which Ka Yan China Development (Holding) Company Limited is interested. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the actual duplicate interests held by Ka Yan China Investments Limited and HSBC International Trustee Limited in the Company is 442,295,660 Shares which also duplicate with the Shares held by Ka Yan China Development (Holding) Company Limited as mentioned above.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, assuming the present shareholdings remain the same, the interest of Mr. Lam in his capacity as a discretionary beneficiary of the Trust would be increased to approximately 73.77% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

10

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

MISCELLANEOUS

During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares have been repurchased by the Company.
