For the health and safety of Shareholders, the Company would like to encourage Shareholders to exercise their rights to vote at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") by appointing the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy and to return their proxy forms by the time specified on page 7 of this circular under the subject headed "Annual General Meeting and Proxy Arrangement", instead of attending the AGM in person.

With the outbreak and spreading of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (the "COVID-19") pandemic and the heightened requirements for the prevention and control of its spreading, to safeguard the health and safety of Shareholders who might be attending the AGM in person, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM.

  2. all participants (including Shareholders or their proxies) in the AGM are required to wear appropriate face masks for covering noses and mouths properly at all time during their attendance of the AGM; and
  3. no refreshment will be served after the AGM to avoid the coming into close contacts of participants attending the AGM.

Participants (including Shareholders or their proxies) are in addition requested to observe and practise good personal hygiene at all times. To the extent permitted by law, the Company reserves the rights to deny entry into the meeting venue or requires any person to leave the meeting venue so as to ensure the health and safety of the participants at the AGM.

Due to the constantly evolving COVID-19 pandemic situation in Hong Kong, the Company may be required to change the AGM arrangements at short notice.

Pursuant to Bye law 84 of the Bye laws, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agreed among themselves) be determined by lot. Any Director appointed pursuant to Bye-law 83(2) shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation.

Pursuant to Bye law 83(2) of the Bye laws, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or, subject to authorization by the Members in general meeting, as an addition to the existing Board but so that the number of Directors so appointed shall not exceed any maximum number determined from time to time by the Members in general meeting. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting of Members after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election.

Pursuant to Bye law 84 of the Bye laws, Mr. Cheok Ho Fung (executive Director) and Mr. Mak Kwok Kei (Independent non-executive Director) shall retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting.

All the retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

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

  1. REASONS FOR SHARE BUYBACK
    The Directors believe that the proposed granting of the Buyback Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
    Buy-backs 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. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Buyback 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. TOTAL ISSUED SHARES
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued Shares comprised 2,208,000,000 Shares.
    Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 5 set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorised under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 220,800,000 Shares (representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of Annual General Meeting) during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force.
  3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
    In repurchasing Shares, the Company will only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum of Association, the Bye laws, the laws of Bermuda and/or any other applicable laws.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

The Company is empowered by its Memorandum of Association and Bye laws to repurchase Shares. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital paid in connection with a share repurchased by a company may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the company before the shares are repurchased.

  1. 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 accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 to be issued by the Company) in the event that the Buyback 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 Buyback 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 levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
  2. TAKEOVERS CODE
    If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback 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 group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.
    In the event that the Directors exercise full power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Buyback Mandate, then (assuming such shareholdings as at the Latest Practicable Date otherwise remain the same) the attributable shareholding in the Company in which Eternal Glory (as defined below) is taken to have interest under the SFO would be increased to approximately 31.45% of the total number of Shares in issue. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such an extent as would result in such mandatory offer obligation arising.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

Notes:

  1. On 30 March 2020, Eternal Glory (through a broker) acquired a total of 264,960,000 Shares, representing approximately 12% of the total issued Shares, from Youfu at an average price of HK$0.30 per Share. Upon completion of the aforesaid acquisition, Eternal Glory remained as a substantial Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules). Ms. Liu is the spouse of Mr. Li. Prior to 26 August 2020, Eternal Glory has owned as to 50% by Mr. Li and as to 50% by Ms. Liu. On 26 August 2020, Ms. Liu disposed of 50% of the total issued shares of Eternal Glory to Mr. Li at a consideration of HK$5,000. Upon completion of the aforesaid disposal, Mr. Li holds the entire issued shares of Eternal Glory and becomes its sole shareholder. Thus, Mr. Li is deemed to be interested in the 624,960,000 Shares, representing approximately 28.30% of the total issued Shares, held by Eternal Glory. Ms. Liu, being Mr. Li's spouse, is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Mr. Li by virtue of the SFO.
  2. On 30 March 2020, Youfu disposed of 264,960,000 Shares, representing approximately 12% of the total issued Shares, to Eternal Glory at an average price of HK$0.30 per Share. Upon completion of the aforesaid

disposal, Youfu ceased to be a controlling Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) but remained as a substantial Shareholder. Subsequently, Youfu continued to dispose of 105,000,000 Shares, 100,000,000 Shares and 92,164,000 Shares, representing approximately 13.46% in total of the total issued Shares, to independent third parties at an average price of HK$0.30 per Share on 17 April 2020, 6 May 2020 and 13 May 2020 respectively. Upon completion of the aforesaid disposals, Youfu still remained as a substantial Shareholder. Mr. Sun Mingwen is the beneficial owner of the entire issued share capital of Youfu and is deemed to be interested in the 340,192,957 Shares, representing approximately 15.41% of the total issued Shares, held by Youfu under the SFO.

3. Mr. Zhu Yanbin is the beneficial owner of the entire issued share capital of Zhisheng and is deemed to be interested in the 170,097,333 Shares, representing approximately 7.70% of the total issued Shares, held by Zhisheng under the SFO.

6. GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not been notified by any core connected persons 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 Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
