APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 12 April 2021.

Mr. Wong Yim Sum ("Mr. Wong") and Mr. Lee Siu Man, Ervin ("Mr. Lee"), being independent non-executive Directors of the Company, shall retire by rotation at the AGM in accordance with the Bye-laws. Mr. Wong and Mr. Lee have decided not to stand for re-election in order to devote more time to pursue their respective other business commitments and accordingly they will cease to be independent non-executive Directors from the conclusion of the AGM.

On the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board proposed to appoint Mr. Lo Mun Lam, Raymond ("Mr. Raymond Lo") and Mr. Lo Kam Cheung, Patrick ("Mr. Patrick Lo") as independent non-executive Directors to fill the vacancies arising from the retirement of Mr. Wong and Mr. Lee. The proposed appointment of each of Mr. Raymond Lo and Patrick Lo is subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the AGM by way of separate ordinary resolutions and will take effect, if approved, from the conclusion of the AGM.

On 26 March 2021, the Board proposed to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every five (5) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.05 each.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  1. the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the Share Consolidation by the Shareholders at the AGM;
  2. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
  3. the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of Bermuda (where applicable) and the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.

Subject to the fulfilment of all the above conditions, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will become effective on the Effective Date.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effects of the proposed Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$500,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 Existing Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 4,180,371,092 Existing Shares have been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming that there are no changes to the authorised share capital of the Company and no Existing Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date until the Effective Date, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$500,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares with par value of HK$0.05 each, of which 836,074,218 Consolidated Shares will be in issue as fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the shareholdings, proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which the Shareholders would otherwise be entitled.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effects on the General Mandate and Buyback Mandate

The Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation does not have any material adverse impact on the existing general mandate approved at the annual general meeting on 28 May 2020 or the proposed General Mandate and/or Buyback Mandate to issue and repurchase Shares, despite the nominal value per Share and the number of Shares issuable and for repurchase therefrom will be different, the effect of which is summarised as follows:

Note: The figures in the table are presented on the assumption that no Existing Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the Effective Date, or thereafter. Any fractional Share arising from the Share Consolidation is not shown in the table.

Effects on the proposed final dividend

The proposed final dividend in the total amount of approximately HK$20,902,000 recommended by the Directors at a Board meeting held on 25 March 2021 and announced in the Company's announcement dated 25 March 2021 is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM. The amount of the proposed final dividend per Existing Share will be determined and resolved at the AGM based on the number of issued Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company as at the date of AGM without taking into account the Share Consolidation, which amounts to approximately HK$0.005 per Existing Share (assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased). Subject to the conditions of the Share Consolidation being satisfied and upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective on 31 May 2021, the proposed final dividend per Consolidated Share will be equal to an amount five times the amount of dividend payable per Existing Share, being approximately HK$0.025 per Consolidated Share (assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased). If the approval of the proposed final dividend by the Shareholders at the AGM is obtained but the Share Consolidation fails to become effective, the proposed final dividend per

Existing Share will remain unchanged. The dates of closure of register of members of the Company for determination of the identity of holders of the Shares entitled to receive the final dividend, the record date and the date of payment of the final dividend are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 25 March 2021 and the notice of the AGM.

Application for listing of the Consolidated Shares

An application has been made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Subject to the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

None of the Existing Shares or debt securities are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time when the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, if any, will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

Matching services for odd lot holdings

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed a securities firm to provide a matching service, on a best efforts basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares during the period from Tuesday, 15 June 2021 to Tuesday, 6 July 2021 (both days inclusive). Shareholders holding odd lots of the Consolidated Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Consolidated Shares or to top up to a full board lot may contact Mr. So Man Hong of Kingsway Financial Services Group Limited at 7/F., Tower One, Lippo Centre, 89 Queensway, Hong Kong (telephone no. (852) 2283 7698) as soon as possible between 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on any business day from Tuesday, 15 June 2021 to Tuesday, 6 July 2021 (both days inclusive).

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders holding odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lots matching arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be on Monday, 31 May 2021, being the second Business Day immediately after the date of the AGM, the Shareholders may on or after Monday, 31 May 2021 and until Thursday, 8 July 2021 (both days inclusive), submit existing share certificates for the Existing Shares (in the colour of light yellow grey) to the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, during business hours to exchange for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares (in the colour of light green) at the expense of the Company.

Thereafter, share certificates for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only upon payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of share certificates cancelled or issued is higher.

Subject to and upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, after 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 6 July 2021, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares. Share certificates for the Existing Shares will continue to remain good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for share certificates for the Consolidated Shares at any time but will not be accepted for delivery, trading, settlement and registration purposes.

Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company

The Company has no outstanding derivatives, options, warrants, other securities or conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as at the Latest Practicable Date.

No change in board lot size

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 2,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain unchanged at 2,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.28 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$1.4 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value of each existing board lot of Existing Shares is HK$560; and (ii) the value of each board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,800 on the assumption that the Share Consolidation becomes effective.

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The "Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions" issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020 stated that (i) market price of the shares at a level less than HK$0.10 each will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.

The Existing Shares has been trading below HK$0.40 and a board lot of the Existing Shares had been traded between HK$440 and HK$690 during the past 12 months. The Board considers that the proposed Share Consolidation, resulting in a theoretical HK$1.4 per Consolidated Share and HK$2,800 per board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Shares (based on the closing price of HK$0.28 per Existing Share as at the Latest Practicable Date), would enable the Company to avoid the occurrence of non-compliance with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules. Further, the Share Consolidation would reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Shares as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction fee for each securities trade. It is expected that the liquidity in trading of the Shares will increase accordingly and the market value of the Shares will more precisely reflect the intrinsic value of the Company. It is also hoped that the Share Consolidation will make investing in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, in particular to institutional investors whose house rules might otherwise prohibit or restrict trading in securities that are priced below a prescribed floor, and thus help to further broaden the shareholder base of the Company.

In view of the above reasons, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, notwithstanding the potential costs and the impact arising from the creation of odd lots to the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation, and the Company does not have any concrete plan to conduct any fundraising activities in the next 12 months.

Expected Timetable

The expected timetable for the implementation of the Share Consolidation is set out on pages 4 to 5 of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

AGM

A notice convening the AGM to be held at Units 22-28, 25/F, Tower A, Southmark, 11 Yip Hing Street, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong on Thursday, 27 May 2021 at 4:30 p.m. is set out on pages 21 to 25 of this circular. Among other things, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the proposed Share Consolidation. A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular.

Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjourned meeting. 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. The resolution proposed to be approved at the AGM will be taken by poll and an announcement will be made by the Company after the AGM on the results of the AGM.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has an interest in the Share Consolidation which is materially different from the other Shareholders. Therefore, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Monday, 24 May 2021 to Thursday, 27 May 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be effected.

VOTING BY POLL

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Share but 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 in 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/or its assets or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares comprised 4,180,371,092 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution no. 6 of notice of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 418,037,109 Existing Shares, or a maximum of 83,607,421 Consolidated Shares if the Share Consolidation is approved and implemented (in each case 10% of the total number of issued Shares based on the number of Existing Shares as at the date of passing of such resolution) on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the date of the forthcoming AGM.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases must be funded entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital facilities, which will be legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and Bye-laws to purchase the Shares. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of the share premium or contributed surplus accounts of the Company. Under the laws of Bermuda, the shares so repurchased will be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital will not be reduced so that the shares may be subsequently re-issued.

If the Buyback Mandate was exercised in full, there might be a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buyback Mandate to an extent which would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

4. DIRECTORS' DEALINGS AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates have notified the Company that they currently intend to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected person has notified the Company that he/she/it currently intends to sell Shares to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any of such Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares under the Buyback Mandate.

5. SHARE PRICES

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

7. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda so far as the same may be applicable and in accordance with the regulations set out in the Bye-laws.

8. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If, as a result of a repurchase of securities, a substantial 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. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company or become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase the shares, the percentage shareholding of the Company held by Power Resources Holdings Limited, the substantial shareholder, would be increased from approximately 66.91% to approximately 74.34%. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase to be made under the Buyback Mandate and have no intention to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such extent as to result in the number of shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of issued Shares.
