1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to give you the AGM Notice, and information regarding resolutions to be proposed at the AGM relating to, among other things, (i) the re-election of Directors; (ii) the granting to the Directors of general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares; and (iii) the adoption of the new Share Option Scheme.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 16.19 of the Articles, Mr. Cha Mou Sing, Payson, Mr. Lee Cheuk Hung and Mr. Yip Kai Yung shall retire from office by rotation at the AGM. Pursuant to Article 16.2 of the Articles, Mr. Chau On Ta Yuen, who was appointed by the Board on 26 June 2020, shall retire at the AGM. All the retiring Directors, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Details of the above retiring Directors are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The nomination committee of the Company has reviewed the structure, size and composition (including skills, knowledge, experience and diversity of perspectives) with reference to the Company's Board Diversity Policy and Policy of Nomination of Directors. It is considered that the retiring Directors possess comprehensive experience and expertise in their respective professional fields, and they have made valuable contributions to the Group's development through making constructive and informed comments to the Board.

The nomination committee of the Company has assessed the independence of the retiring independent non-executive Directors, Mr. Yip Kai Yung and Mr. Chau On Ta Yuen, based on their annual written confirmation of independence to the Company pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and considered that Mr. Yip and Mr. Chau remain independent. It is believed that Mr. Yip and Mr. Chau will be able to maintain an independent view of the Group's affairs and promote Board diversity with Mr. Yip's comprehensive experience and invaluable expertise in accounting, financial and regulatory matters and Mr. Chau's extensive business experiences.

3. PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE NEW SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 August 2019, a general mandate was given to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to issue Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval of the ordinary resolutions No. 9(A) and 9(C) as set out in the AGM Notice to give a fresh general mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares not exceeding the sum of 20% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the resolution (the "Share Issue Mandate") and the nominal amount of any Shares repurchased by the Company up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 436,332,630 Shares. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the general mandate to issue Shares to allot and issue up to 87,266,526 Shares, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM.

Concerning ordinary resolutions No. 9(A) and 9(C), the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares. Approval is being sought from the Shareholders as a general mandate for the purposes of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 August 2019, a general mandate was given to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval of the ordinary resolution No. 9(B) as set out in the AGM Notice to give a fresh general mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution (the "Share Repurchase Mandate").

An explanatory statement, as required by the relevant rules set out in the Listing Rules to regulate the repurchase by companies with primary listings on the Stock Exchange of their own securities on the Stock Exchange, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Share Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

5. ADOPTION OF NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any existing share option scheme. An ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to adopt the Share Option Scheme at the AGM. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to reward Participants who have contributed or will contribute to the Group and to encourage Participants to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its Shares for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, and to maintain or attract business relationships with Participants whose contributions are or may be beneficial to the growth of the Group. The purpose of including parties other than directors and employees of the Group as Participants is to give more flexibility to the Company to provide rewards or incentives to persons who have made, or are under an obligation to make, a contribution to or for the benefit of the Group over a sustained or longer term period, by granting such parties an equity interest in the Company. For example, to consultants or other independent contractors working on, or assisting the Company to secure, long term build projects. The eligibility of Participants, other than directors and employees of the Group, will be determined by the Board with regard to the relevant person's actual and/or potential contribution to the business or operation of the Group. The Company considers that the grant of Options to such persons will have the benefit of aligning the interests of such persons with that of the Group, thus encouraging such persons to continue to contribute positively to the Group and enabling the Group to foster long term co-operation with such persons.

A summary of the principal terms of the Share Option Scheme is set out in Appendix III to this circular. A copy of the Share Option Scheme will be available for inspection during normal business hours at the Company's principal place of business in Hong Kong at Office A, 20th Floor, Kings Wing Plaza 1, 3 On Kwan Street, Shek Mun, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong from the date of this circular up to and including the date of the AGM.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Share Option Scheme will take effect on the date of its adoption at the AGM and is conditional upon:

  1. the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company to approve and adopt the Share Option Scheme and to authorise the Board to grant Options at their absolute discretion under the Share Option Scheme and to allot and issue Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Options; and
  2. the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Options.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to approve and adopt the Share Option Scheme. None of the Directors is a trustee of the Share Option Scheme or has any direct or indirect interest in the trustees (if any) of the Share Option Scheme.

The Share Option Scheme does not stipulate either a minimum period for which an Option must be held or any performance targets a Grantee is required to achieve before an Option may be exercised. However, the Board may, at its discretion, specify any terms on which the Option is granted when making an offer of an Option to a Grantee.

The aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue on the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 436,332,630 Shares. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme would be 43,633,263 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any fixed plans to grant Options to any Participants upon the adoption of the Share Option Scheme. The Board will consider from time to time whether to grant Options based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the Group's financial performance and the relevant individual's performance and contribution to the Group.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the Share Option Scheme.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers that it would not be appropriate to state the value of all Options that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date on the basis that there are a number of variables that are crucial for the calculation of the value of the Share Options (including the exercise price, option period, any lock-up period and other variables) which cannot be reasonably fixed at this stage. The Board believes that any calculation of the value of the Share Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful and would be misleading to the Shareholders.

6. VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and Article 13.5 of the Articles, the votes of Shareholders at a general meeting will be taken by poll and the Company shall announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Article 14.1 of the Articles, on a poll, every member who is present in person (or, in the case of a member being a corporation, is present by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy shall have one vote for each share registered in his name in the register. A member entitled to more than one vote is under no obligation to cast all his votes in the same way.

7. FORM OF PROXY

The notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 29 to 34 of this circular. Enclosed with this circular is the form of proxy for use at the AGM. Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are advised to read the AGM Notice and complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company's share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish and, in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

8. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

9. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the above proposals relating to the re-election of Directors, the Share Issue Mandate, the Share Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Share Issue Mandate and the adoption of the new Share Option Scheme are all in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend you to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

Yours faithfully,

By order of the Board

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 436,332,630 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the date of AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 43,633,263 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the proposed granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. While it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstances in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, they believe that an ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share or may otherwise be in the interests of the Company, and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. At present, the Directors have no intention to repurchase any of the Shares.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Any repurchases by the Company may be made out of capital paid up on the Shares to be repurchased, funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of an issue of new Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or from sums standing to the credit of the other reserves account of the Company. There would not have 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 for the year ended 31 March 2020) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such 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.

- 15 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Share Repurchase Mandate in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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 of voting rights 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 in the Shareholder's interests, 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 the purpose of the Takeovers Code, members of the Cha Family (comprising, inter alios, Mr. Cha Mou Sing, Payson being a Director) as listed below had an aggregate interest in 241,094,410 Shares, representing approximately 55.25% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Notes:

  1. These share interests comprise 153,383,496 Shares directly held by CCM Trust and 41,697,318 Shares held indirectly through Mingly and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. CCM Trust is interested in 87.5% equity interest in Mingly. CCM Trust is holding the 153,383,496 Shares as the trustee of certain but not identical discretionary trusts of which members of the Cha Family (comprising, inter alios, Mr. Cha Mou Sing, Payson being a Director) are among the discretionary objects. Mr. Cha Mou Sing, Payson is also a director of CCM Trust.
  2. These share interests comprise 24,409,172 Shares directly held by LBJ and 2,722,656 Shares held indirectly through Bie Ju Enterprises Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiary. LBJ is holding the 24,409,172 Shares as the trustee of certain but not identical discretionary trusts of which members of the Cha Family (comprising, inter alios, Mr. Cha Mou Sing, Payson being a Director) are among the discretionary objects. Mr. Cha Mou Sing, Payson is also a director of LBJ.
  3. These share interests comprise 10,615,168 Shares held personally and 8,266,600 Shares held by Accomplished Investments Limited and Kola Heights Limited, companies that are wholly-owned by Mr. Cha Mou Sing, Payson.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, the aggregate interests of certain members of the Cha Family as listed above would be increased from 55.25% to 61.39% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such an increase in the Cha Family's aggregate interest would not apparently give rise to a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Moreover, the Directors are not otherwise aware of any consequences of any purchases which would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not intend to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate to the extent that it would reduce the aggregate amount of the issued share capital of the Company in the public hands below 25%.

LAPSE OF OPTION

An Option shall lapse automatically (to the extent not already exercised) on the earliest of:-

  1. the expiry of the relevant option period;
  2. the expiry of any of the periods for exercising the Option as referred to in the paragraphs titled "Rights on Ceasing Employment", "Rights on Death", "Rights on Takeover", or "Rights on compromise or arrangement between the Company and its members or creditors" (subject, in the case of paragraph titled "Rights on Takeover", to the proviso set out at the end of this section);

  5. the date on which the Grantee (if an employee or Director of the Company or another member of the Group) ceases to be a Participant by reason of the termination of his or her employment or directorship on the grounds that he or she has been guilty of serious misconduct, or has committed any act of bankruptcy or has become insolvent or has made any arrangement or compromise with his or her creditors generally, or has been convicted of any criminal offence involving his or her integrity or honesty or (if so determined by the Board) on any other ground on which an employer would be entitled to terminate his or her employment at common law or pursuant to any applicable laws or under the Grantee's service contract with the Company or the relevant Subsidiary;
  6. the date on which the Grantee commits a breach of paragraph titled "Rights are Personal to the Grantee"; or

- 26 -

APPENDIX III SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

  1. subject to paragraph titled "Rights on Ceasing Employment", the date on which the Grantee ceases to be a Participant by any other reason;

provided that, in the context of any general offer as referred to in the paragraph titled "Rights on Takeover", the Option (to the extent not exercised during the relevant period) need not lapse automatically in circumstances where its continuation is approved by or on behalf of the Board and the offeror and its continuation is not contrary to any provision of the Takeovers Code.

REORGANISATION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE

In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of the Company which arises as a result of capitalisation of profits or reserves, rights issue, consolidation, subdivision or reduction or similar reorganisation of the share capital of the Company (other than an issue of Shares as consideration in respect of a transaction to which the Company is a party), such corresponding adjustments (if any) shall be made in (a) the number and/or nominal amount of Shares subject to the Options so far as unexercised; (b) the subscription price; (c) the method of exercise of the Option; or (d) the maximum number of Shares available for subscription, and an independent financial adviser or the Auditors shall certify in writing to the Board that the corresponding adjustments (if any) to the Options are in their opinion fair and reasonable, provided that any adjustments shall be made on the basis that the proportion of the issued share capital of the Company to which a Grantee is entitled after such adjustments shall remain the same as that to which he was entitled before such adjustments and that the aggregate subscription price payable by a Grantee on the full exercise of any Option shall remain as nearly as possible the same (but shall not be greater than) as it was before such event, but so that no such adjustments shall be made the effect of which would be to enable any Share to be issued at less than its nominal value. Any adjustments as a result of an issue of securities with a price-dilutive element, such as a rights issue or open offer, are based on a scrip factor similar to the one used in accounting standards in adjusting the earnings per share figures (referred to in Hong Kong Accounting Standards 33). No such adjustments will be required in circumstances where there is an issue of Shares or other securities of the Group as consideration in a transaction.

CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS

Any Options granted but not exercised may be cancelled by the Board if the Grantee so agrees and new Options may be granted to the Participant provided that such new Options fall within the limits specified in paragraph titled "Maximum Number of Shares subject to Options" above and are otherwise granted in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme with available unissued Options (excluding the cancelled Options).

- 27 -

APPENDIX III SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

TERMINATION

The Company may by resolution in general meeting, or the Board, may at any time terminate the operation of the Share Option Scheme and in such event no further Options will be offered but the provisions of the Share Option Scheme shall remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to the termination or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Share Option Scheme. Options (to the extent not already exercised) granted prior to such termination shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the Share Option Scheme.

ALTERATION OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Share Option Scheme may be altered in any respect by resolution of the Board except

that:

  1. the provisions relating to the matters set out in rule 17.03 of the Listing Rules to the advantage of Participants;
  2. any alteration to the terms and conditions of this Share Option Scheme which are of a material nature;
  3. any change to the terms of Options granted; and
  4. any change to the authority of the Board or Share Option Scheme administrators in relation to any alteration to the terms of the Share Option Scheme,

must be approved by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, except where such alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of the Share Option Scheme, provided that the amended terms of the Share Option Scheme or the Options shall still comply with the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.
