GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Dear Sir or Madam,

  1. PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND TO ISSUE NEW SHARES
  2. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
  3. CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS AND
  4. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION

At the forthcoming AGM, resolutions will be proposed to seek the Shareholders' approval for, among other things, (i) the granting of the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors; and (ii) the re-election of Directors.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM for the granting of the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the re-election of Directors and the notice of the AGM.

GENERAL MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the AGM, the Directors propose to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate.

General Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate (i.e. the General Mandate) to allot, issue and deal with new Shares (other than by way of rights or pursuant to a share option scheme for employees of the Company or Directors and/or any of its subsidiaries or pursuant to any scrip dividend scheme or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of whole or part of the dividend on Shares in accordance with the Articles of Association) or make or grant offers, agreements, options and warrants which might require the exercise of such power, of up to 20% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution granting such mandate.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will further be proposed for extending the General Mandate (i.e. the Extended Mandate) authorising the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Details on the Repurchase Mandate are further elaborated below.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an aggregate of 363,000,000 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the General 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 General Mandate to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 72,600,000 Shares.

Repurchase Mandate

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate to repurchase Shares (i.e. the Repurchase Mandate) on the Stock Exchange of up to 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution granting such mandate.

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the approval of 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 36,300,000 Shares.

The General Mandate (including the Extended Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the General Mandate (including the Extended Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association, the Companies Ordinance or any applicable Laws of Hong Kong to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the General Mandate (including the Extended Mandate) or the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Mr. Wang Jun, appointed as a Director after the last annual general meeting, is due to retire as a Director at the AGM in accordance with Article 113. In addition, in accordance with Article 141, Mr. Chan Chi Yuen and Mr. Liu Rongsheng shall also retire as Directors at the AGM. Being eligible, each of Mr. Chan Chi Yuen, Mr. Liu Rongsheng and Mr. Wang Jun will offer himself for re-election as executive Director.

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to re-elect each of Mr. Chan Chi Yuen, Mr. Liu Rongsheng, and Mr. Wang Jun as executive Director.

Details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 16 August 2017 to Monday, 21 August 2017 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares can be registered.

In order to qualify for attending and voting at the AGM, all transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company's share registrar, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong not later than 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 15 August 2017.

MISCELLANEOUS

The English text of this circular shall prevail over the Chinese text for the purpose of interpretation.

Yours faithfully

For and on behalf of the Board of

Royal Century Resources Holdings Limited Chan Chi Yuen

Chairman

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

  1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES

    The GEM Listing Rules prohibit the Company from knowingly purchasing its securities on the Stock Exchange from a "connected person", that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling to the Company his/her/its securities of the Company.

    No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is passed.

  2. SHARE CAPITAL

    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued Shares comprised 363,000,000 fully paid Shares.

    Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 36,300,000 fully paid Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution.

  3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

    The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

    Repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the Hong Kong laws and the Articles of Association and for such purpose.

    An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with those as at 31 March 2017, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

  5. SHARE PRICES

    The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve calendar months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

    DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

    None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.

    The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and applicable laws of Hong Kong.

    If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, 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.

    As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar as the Directors are aware, the shareholding of the Directors, associated corporations and substantial shareholders are as follows:
