PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the AGM to protect each attendee from the risk of infection:

  1. Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on each attendee at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any attendee with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the AGM venue, or be required to leave the AGM venue.
  2. The Company requires each attendee to wear a surgical face mask throughout the AGM and in the AGM venue, and to maintain a safe distance between seats.
  3. No refreshments will be served and no corporate gifts will be distributed.

To the extent permitted under the laws of Hong Kong, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue, in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and consistent with recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES

TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES,

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS,

AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

Shareholders passed the resolutions to grant the general mandates to the Directors to issue and allot Shares and to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase its own Shares (the ''Existing Mandates'') at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 4 September 2019. The Existing Mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed that the general mandates to issue and allot Shares and to repurchase Shares be renewed at the AGM.

- 3 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM for (i) the grant of the General Mandates to the Directors; and (ii) the re-election of the retiring Directors.

2. PROPOSED GRANT OF THE ISSUE AND REPURCHASE MANDATES

  1. Issue Mandate

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company (i) to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM; and (ii) to add the aggregate number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate to the Issue Mandate, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 128,342,000 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Issue Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 25,668,400 Shares.

  1. Repurchase Mandate

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase, on the Stock Exchange, or on any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed, Shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, an explanatory statement is set out in Appendix I to this circular containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the grant of the Repurchase Mandate.

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

By virtue of Article 108(a) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Cheung King Shek, Mr. Fong Ping and Mr. Tso Ka Yi will retire and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

The Board has received confirmation from Mr. Fong Ping, Ms. Kwok Yuen Man Marisa and Mr. Tso Ka Yi regarding their independence. Taking into account the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, the Board considers that Mr. Fong Ping, Ms. Kwok Yuen Man Marisa and Mr. Tso Ka Yi continue to be independent. The Board considers that Mr. Fong Ping, Ms. Kwok Yuen Man Marisa and Mr. Tso Ka Yi have satisfactorily discharged their duties since their appointments and believes their re-appointment as independent non-executive Directors at the AGM would contribute to the corporate governance matters of the Group.

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders' approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of the above retiring Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. AGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The notice of AGM is set out on pages 15 to 18 of this circular. At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, (i) the grant of the General Mandates to the Directors; and (ii) the re-election of the retiring Directors.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. An announcement on the poll vote results will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the Stock Exchange's website (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company's website (www.tso.cc) respectively. Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, please complete and sign the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a certified copy of that power of attorney or authority to the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, 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 adjournment thereof. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish and in such event, the proxy form shall be deemed to be revoked.

5. 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: (i) the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive; and (ii) there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the grant of the General Mandates and the re-election of Directors are in the best interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

7. GENERAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in Appendix I (Explanatory Statement on the Repurchase Mandate) and Appendix II (Details of the Retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM) to this circular.

Yours faithfully,

By Order of the Board

Telecom Service One Holdings Limited

Chairman

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the grant of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 128,342,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 6 of the notice of AGM in respect of the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the total number of Shares in issue remains unchanged on the date of the AGM, i.e. 128,342,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, of the total issued share capital of the Company not exceeding HK$1,283,420 (equivalent to 12,834,200 Shares), representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be 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 of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the 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.

- 7 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase may be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), 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 all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar as the Directors are aware, the following Directors and substantial shareholders of the Company have interests in the Company are as follows:
