In relation to resolution 5, KPMG, the auditors of the Company, have offered themselves for re-appointment for the year ending 31 December 2021. The Board supports the re-appointment. Shareholders should note that, in practice, the amount of auditors' remuneration for the year ending 31 December 2021 cannot be determined at the beginning of the financial year for the reason that auditors' remuneration for any given year varies by reference to, inter alia, the scope and extent of the audit work which is undertaken during that year.

The total number of issued shares in the Company was 794,633,719 shares on 26 March 2021 (the ''Latest Practicable Date'' being the latest practicable date prior to the bulk printing of this circular for ascertaining certain information contained in this circular).

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 23 March 2021 in relation to the proposed amendments to the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association.

In order to update the constitutional document of the Company, to bring it in line with changes to the legislations, rules and regulations, especially the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and the Listing Rules, as well as to enhance administrative efficiency and for housekeeping purposes, the Board proposes to abolish the existing Memorandum of Association of the Company and to adopt a new set of Articles of Association of the Company to replace the existing Articles of Association of the Company.

In view of the substantial amount of amendments proposed to be made to the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Board proposes that the new Articles of Association, as a new set of Articles of Association of the Company consolidating all proposed amendments, be adopted in substitution for and to the exclusion of the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association. The proposed amendments to the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association are subject to the approval of the Shareholders

S.B.S., J.P.

The legal advisers to the Company have confirmed that the proposed amendments conform with the applicable requirements of the Listing Rules and the laws of Hong Kong. The Company has confirmed that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments for a company listed in Hong Kong.

After the conclusion of the AGM, the poll results will be published on the respective websites of HKEXnews of the Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing Limited at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company at www.tradelink.com.hk.

  6. The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, and either in money or money's worth, all or any part of the money uncalled and unpaid or instalments payable upon any shares held by him and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced the Company may pay interest at such rate (if any) not exceeding twenty per cent. per annum as the Board may decide provided that not until a call is made any payment in advance of a call shall not entitle the member to receive any dividend or to exercise any other rights or privileges as a member in respect of the shares or the due portion of the shares upon which payment has been advanced by such member before it is called up. The Board may at any time repay the amount so advanced upon giving to such member not less than one month's notice in writing of their intention in that behalf, unless before the expiration of such notice the amount so advanced shall have called up on the shares in respect of which it was advanced.

  2. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.
