Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR REFRESHMENT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES; RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;

AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of (i) the proposed Issue Mandate and the proposed Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate by addition thereto of the number of Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate; (ii) the explanatory statement regarding the Repurchase Mandate; (iii) the proposed re-election of Directors; and (iv) the AGM Notice.

REFRESHMENT OF GENERAL MANDATES AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

The existing general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares will expire at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM. The Directors intend to put forward to the Shareholders ordinary resolutions at the AGM to renew the general mandates so as to give Directors general authority:

  • (ii) to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of the issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing the proposed resolution at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 1,868,176,188. Assuming that no further Shares are repurchased or issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, subject to the approval of the Issue Mandate by the Shareholders, the Company would be allowed to issue a maximum of 373,635,237 Shares under the proposed Issue Mandate.

A separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM to add those Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to the Issue Mandate.

An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information in relation to the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I of this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 112 of the Articles, Mr. Wu Keli will retire and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election at the AGM.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

RECOMMENDATION

CONTINUED SUSPENSION OF TRADING

Trading in the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange has been suspended with effect from 1:12 p.m. on 28 February 2020 and will remain suspended pending fulfilment of the Resumption Guidance and any supplement or modification thereto.

By Order of the Board Freeman FinTech Corporation Limited

(Provisional Liquidators Appointed)

Choi Wai Hong, Clifford

Executive Director

This section includes an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be presented to Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

2. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, the Listing Rules and the laws of the Cayman Islands. As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2020 (being the date of its latest audited accounts), there is no working capital to carry out the proposed repurchase as at the date of this circular. On 28 February 2020, the High Court ordered that Messrs. Lai Kar Yan (Derek) and Ho Kwok Leung Glen of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu be appointed as provisional liquidators of the Company (the "Provisional Liquidators"). On 10 September 2020, the Company, the Provisional Liquidators and the investor entered into a restructuring deed, pursuant to which the Company will undergo a proposed restructuring. Upon completion of the proposed restructuring, the Directors will reassess if there will be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchase is to be carried out in full.

The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing ratio which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,868,176,188 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions to approve the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 186,817,618 Shares.

4. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

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 for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the shareholder's interest, 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.

The shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and the shareholding structure of the Company upon full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate are illustrated as follows:

So far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by, the Directors, there was no person who was entitled to exercise, or control the exercise of, 10% or more of the voting power at any general meeting of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase made under the Repurchase Mandate. Further, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in the number of Shares being held by the public falling below the relevant minimum prescribed percentage pursuant to Rules 8.08 of the Listing Rules, which is currently 25% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the year, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries repurchased any of its securities in the previous six months (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
