LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this supplemental circular is to provide you with, among other things, detailed information regarding the proposed re-appointment of auditors of the Company and a supplemental notice convening the AGM.

  1. PROPOSED RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

Reference is made to the announcement dated 30 April 2021 in relation to the change of auditor of the Company. Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), the former auditor of the Company, resigned as the auditor of the Company by tendering its resignation (the "Resignation Letter") as the auditor of the Company with effect from 30 April 2021. As such, the ordinary resolution no. 3 as set out in the notice convening the AGM will be withdrawn from voting at the AGM.

In accordance with Article 155 of the Articles of Association, where there exists a vacancy for the auditor position at a time when his services are required, the Board shall be entitled to appoint an accounting firm to fill the vacancy and fix the remuneration of the Auditor so appointed. Accordingly, with the recommendation of the Audit Committee, HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited ("HLB") was appointed by the Board as the new auditor of the Company with effect from 30 April 2021 to fill the vacancy arising from the resignation of Deloitte in accordance with the Articles of Association, and shall hold office as the auditor of the Company until the conclusion of the AGM.

As the appointment of HLB will expire at the conclusion of the AGM, the appointment of HLB as the auditor of the Company is subject to re-election by the shareholders at the AGM. The proposed re-appointment will be up to the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

III. AGM

Please refer to the Company's circular and notice of AGM dated 26 April 2021 for details of the other resolutions to be proposed at the AGM, eligibility for attending the AGM, appointment of proxy, registration procedures, closure of register of members and other relevant matters.

A supplemental form of proxy (the "Supplemental Proxy Form") for use at the AGM is enclosed with this supplemental circular. The Supplemental Proxy Form is to be used for the supplemental resolution set out in the supplemental notice and will not affect the validity of duly completed form of proxy (the "Original Proxy Form") in respect of the resolutions set out in the notice of the AGM set out in the circular of the Company dated 26 April 2021.
