Pursuant to Code Provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code as set out in Appendix C1 of the Listing Rules the re-elections of Mr. Wu and Dr. Yeung will be subject to separate resolutions to be approved by the shareholders at the AGM. The Board considers that the appointments of Mr. Wu and Dr. Yeung as Independent Non-Executive Directors are justified due to the following reasons: 1. to the best knowledge of the Directors of the Company Mr. Wu and Dr. Yeung have not relied on the remuneration given by the Company and they are independent of any connected person and substantial shareholder of the Company; 2. the Company believes that Mr. Wu and Dr. Yeung are able to exercise their professional judgment and draw upon their extensive knowledge for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders as a whole in particular the independent shareholders; and 3. both Mr. Wu and Dr. Yeung have confirmed their independence as regards each of the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules that the Stock Exchange takes into account in assessing the independence of a non-executive director.– 4 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD As far as the Directors are aware and saved as disclosed above there are no other matters which are required to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company and there is no information relating to the above Directors which is required to be disclosed pursuant to any of the requirements of Rule 13.51(2)(h) to (v) of the Listing Rules.EXERCISE OF THE SHARE ISSUE MANDATE Resolution No. 5(1) set out in the notice of AGM (the “AGM Notice”) dated 15 July 2024 will if passed give a general unconditional mandate (the “Share Issue Mandate”) to the Directors authorising the exercise by the Directors of the powers of the Company to allot additional shares of HK$0.20 each in the capital of the Company (“Shares”). Subject to certain exceptions as set out in the AGM Notice the additional shares allotted shall not in aggregate exceed 20% of the nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the date of the AGM (i.e. not exceeding 87610720 shares based on the issued share capital of theCompany of 438053600 shares as at 5 July 2024 being the latest practicable date (the “LatestPracticable Date”) prior to the printing of this circular and assuming that such issued share capital remains the same as at the date of passing the resolution) and may be exercised at any time during the Relevant Period (as defined in Resolution No. 5(1) set out in the AGM Notice).EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE Resolutions Nos. 5(2) and 5(3) set out in the AGM Notice will if passed give a general unconditional mandate (the “Repurchase Mandate”) to the Directors authorising the repurchase by the Company of up to 10% of the fully paid Shares in issue at the date of the AGM at any time during the Relevant Period (as defined in Resolution No. 5(2) set out in the AGM Notice).The Directors believe that these proposals which are similar to those approved by shareholders in previous years will provide the Board with a prudent measure of flexibility for them to act in the Company’s interests. The information set out below constitutes an Explanatory Statement (as set out in Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules) for the purpose of the Listing Rules: (1) Share Capital Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate (on the basis of 438053600 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) would result in up to 43805360 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the Relevant Period as defined in Resolution No. 5(2). (2) Reasons for Repurchases The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to have a general authority from shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares.Such repurchases may depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time lead to an enhancement in the value of the Shares and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its shareholders.– 5 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD (3) Funding of Repurchases In repurchasing Shares the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and the Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws of the Company. Such funds may include profits available for distribution and the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchases.There might be an adverse impact on the working capital requirements or gearing levels of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the Relevant Period (as defined in Resolution No. 5(2)). However the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would in such circumstances have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing level which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company. (4) Share Price The highest and lowest prices at which Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months from 1 July 2023 were as follow: Traded Market Price Highest Lowest HK$ HK$ 2023 July 1.42 1.35 August 1.42 1.42 September 1.42 1.27 October 1.32 1.04 November 1.16 1.00 December 1.16 1.12 2024 January 1.20 1.10 February 1.59 0.91 March 1.12 1.01 April 1.20 1.00 May 1.24 1.02 June 1.25 1.11 July (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 1.20 1.20 – 6 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD (5) Disclosure of Interests None of the Directors nor to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such Repurchase Mandate is approved by shareholders.The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that so far as the same may be applicable they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda.No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or have undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by shareholders. (6) Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs If as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company a shareholder’s proportionate interests in the voting rights of the Company increase such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs (the “Code”). Accordingly a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and depending on the level of increase of the shareholders’ interest may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Code. All Fine Investment Company Limited and Billion Goal Holdings Limited hold 230679599 Shares and 36963000 Shares respectively representing approximately 61.1% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Mr. Wong Ip Kuen a Director of the Company owns the entire issued share capital of All Fine Investment Company Limited and Billion Goal Holdings Limited. The Directors are not aware of any such consequences which would arise under the Code as a consequence of any purchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. In the event that any exercise of the Repurchase Mandate would to the knowledge of the Directors have such a consequence the Directors would not exercise the mandate to such an extent.In addition assuming that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full the share capital of the Company in issue will be reduced to 394248240 Shares (on the basis of 438053600 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date). Mr. Wong Ip Kuen through All Fine Investment Company Limited and Billion Goal Holdings Limited holds 267642599 Shares will representing approximately 67.89% of the issued share capital of the Company after the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full. As far as the Directors are aware the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate will not have any impact on the relevant minimum public shareholding requirements as stipulated in the Listing Rules.– 7 –LETTER FROM THE BOARD (7) Repurchases made by the Company The Company has not repurchased Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months up to the Latest Practicable Date.VOTING BY POLL Under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll.
