  1. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares, on the Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange, of not exceeding 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. not exceeding 100,045,600 Shares on the basis that the existing number of Shares in issue (being 1,000,456,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) remains unchanged as at the date of the 2021 AGM) (the ''Repurchase Mandate'');
  2. a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue or deal with new Shares of not exceeding 20% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. not exceeding 200,091,200 Shares on the basis that the existing number of Shares in issue (being 1,000,456,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) remains unchanged as at the date of the 2021 AGM) (the ''Issue Mandate''); and
  3. a general and unconditional mandate to extend the Issue Mandate by the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate (the ''Extension Mandate'').

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to clause 84 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Hung Kwong Yee and Mr. Lee Kwan Hung shall retire by rotation at the 2021 AGM. Both of the above two retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the 2021 AGM.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the Company's corporate strategy and the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's Board Diversity Policy and Director Nomination Policy; and also reviewed the independence of all independent non-executive Directors. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board on re-election of the above two Directors who are due to retire at the 2021 AGM. The Company considers that both of them will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. In addition, Mr. Lee Kwan Hung, the retiring independent non-executive Director who is holding other listed company directorships as listed in his biographical information set out in Appendix II to this circular, has given the annual written confirmation of his independence to the Company in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee and the Board are not aware of any circumstance that would affect the independence of Mr. Lee and are satisfied that he has the required character, integrity, experience and knowledge to continue fulfilling the role of independent non-executive Director.

In accordance with Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders' approval at that relevant general meeting.

7. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE 2021 AGM

At the time of issuing this circular, many countries and regions around the world, including Hong Kong, are still devoting vigorous efforts to contain the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic. To safeguard the health and safety of Shareholders who might be attending the 2021 AGM in person, and to help prevent the spread of the disease, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the 2021 AGM:

  • Compulsory body temperature checks will be carried out on every attendee at the entrance of the 2021 AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature above the reference range quoted by the Hong Kong Department of Health from time to time, or is exhibiting flu-like symptoms may be denied entry into the 2021 AGM venue and be requested to leave the 2021 AGM venue.
  • Every attendee will be required to wear a surgical face mask throughout the 2021 AGM and sit at a distance from other attendees. Please note that no masks will be provided at the 2021 AGM venue and attendees should wear their own masks.
  • No refreshments or drinks will be provided to the attendees at the 2021 AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Attendees are in addition requested to observe and practise good personal hygiene at all times. To the extent permitted by law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the 2021 AGM venue or require any person to leave the 2021 AGM venue so as to ensure the health and safety of the attendees at the 2021 AGM.

The Company reminds Shareholders that attendance at the 2021 AGM in person is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. Shareholders may consider appointing the chairman of the 2021 AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the meeting as an alternative to attending the meeting in person.

Due to the constantly evolving COVID-19 pandemic situation in Hong Kong, the Company may be required to change the 2021 AGM arrangements. Shareholders should check the websites of the Company and the Stock Exchange for further announcement and update on the 2021 AGM arrangements, if any.

Yours faithfully,

By order of the Board

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2021 AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements 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 repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,000,456,000 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution set out in item 7 of the notice of the 2021 AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the number of Shares in issue remains unchanged as at the date of the 2021 AGM, i.e. remains at 1,000,456,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a maximum of 100,045,600 Shares, representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing such resolution.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be funded from the Company's internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles of Association, the Companies Law and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

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 accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Hung Kwong Yee (''Chairman Hung''), the chairman of the Board, was deemed to be interested in 655,552,000 Shares, representing approximately 65.53% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Out of these Shares, (i) 17,540,000 Shares (being approximately 1.75% of the total issued share capital of the Company) were personally owned by Chairman Hung; (ii) 338,012,000 Shares (being approximately 33.79% of the total issued share capital of the Company) were held by Even Joy Holdings Limited (a company wholly owned by Chairman Hung); and (iii) 300,000,000 Shares (being approximately 29.99% of the total issued share capital of the Company) were held by TinYing Investments Limited, a company wholly owned by TinYing Holdings Limited, which was in turn wholly owned by Vistra Trust (BVI) Limited acting as the trustee of The TinYing Trust, a discretionary trust of which Chairman Hung is the founder and one of the beneficiaries. On the basis that (i) the total issued share capital of the Company (being 1,000,456,000 Shares) remains unchanged as at the date of the 2021 AGM, and (ii) the shareholding interest of Chairman Hung in the Company (being 655,552,000 Shares) remains unchanged immediately after the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2021 AGM (presuming that apart from the decrease of the issued share capital arising from the said full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate, there is no other change in the Company's issued share capital), the shareholding interest of Chairman Hung in the issued Shares would be increased to approximately 72.81% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate. Besides, the Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase of its shares on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the company's issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors will not propose to repurchase Shares if it would result in the number of issued Shares in public hands falls below 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued Shares.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

6. GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
