PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

(i). Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendees at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue.

(ii). All Shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to complete and submit at the entrance of the AGM venue a declaration form confirming their names, contact details and body condition, and state that whether they have travelled to any affected countries or areas outside Hong Kong in the preceding 21 days, or to their best knowledge had close contact with any confirmed cases, or have symptoms of flu, fever or pneumonia. Any such person may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue.

(iii). Attendees must wear their own surgical face masks inside the AGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats.

(iv). No refreshments will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, strongly recommended by using a form of proxy with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders, particularly those who are subjected to quarantine, may appoint the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM instead of attending the AGM in person.

The form of proxy is attached to this circular for Shareholders who opt to receive physical circulars. Alternatively, the form of proxy can be downloaded from the website of the Stock Exchange (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the "Investor Relations - Announcement and Circulars" section of the website of the Company (http://www.bgyfw.com). If you are not a registered Shareholder (if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

Shareholders are strongly recommended not to attend the AGM in person. If Shareholders have any questions about the relevant resolutions, or about the Company or any matters for communication with the Board, they are welcome to contact the Company as follows:

In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to extend the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares repurchased under the Share Repurchase Mandate.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

An ordinary resolution was passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 16 June

Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution (i.e. not exceeding 299,470,039 Shares based on the issued share capital of the Company of 2,994,700,396 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that such issued share capital remains the same on the date of the passing of the relevant resolution).

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 Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

  1. the shares proposed to be purchased by the company are fully paid-up;
  2. the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the provisions of rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules; and
  3. the shareholders of the company have given a specific approval or a general mandate to the directors of the company to make the purchase(s), by way of an ordinary resolution which complies with rule 10.06(1)(c) of the Listing Rules and which has been passed at a general meeting of the company duly convened and held.

The company must report the outcome of the general meeting called to consider the proposed repurchase to the Stock Exchange immediately following the meeting.

2. SHARE IN ISSUE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue and fully paid-up was 2,994,700,396 Shares.

Subject to the passing of ordinary resolution no. 6 of the AGM Notice and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased and/or cancelled prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 299,470,039 Shares.

3. REASON FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such a repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share. Repurchase of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- I-1 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, repurchase will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection, including profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of the capital of the Company and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of the capital of the Company. The Company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. No repurchase pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate would be made where such repurchase would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company unless the Directors consider such repurchase were in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

6. SHARE PRICES RECORD

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

7. GENERAL

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. EFFECTS OF TAKEOVERS CODES

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 the Takeovers Codes. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Codes), depending on the level of increase in the interest of the Shareholder(s), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Ms. YANG Huiyan has an indirect interest in 1,451,120,428 Shares representing approximately 48.46% of the issued Shares, through her 100% interest in Concrete Win Limited, and 100% interest in Fortune Warrior Global Limited.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Share Repurchase Mandate, then, (if the present shareholdings otherwise remain the same) the interest of Ms. YANG Huiyan in the Company held through Concrete Win Limited and Fortune Warrior Global Limited would be increased from approximately 48.46% to approximately 53.84%. In the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, an obligation to make a general offer to Shareholders under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Codes may arise. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate which may result in possible mandatory offer being made under the Takeovers Codes or the public float of the Company falling below the minimum percentage prescribed by the Stock Exchange.

9. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company did not repurchase any Shares on the Stock Exchange or elsewhere during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
