LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE NEW SHARES

The current general mandate granted to the Directors to issue new Shares will expire at the Annual General Meeting. It will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting two ordinary resolutions respectively to renew the Issue Mandate by:

  1. grant of a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares and other securities not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution (i.e. not exceeding 149,424,644 Shares based on the 747,123,220 issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that such issued Shares remain the same as at the date of passing the resolution); and
  2. extension of such general mandate so granted to the Directors by adding to it any Shares and other securities representing the total number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate, up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Repurchase Resolution.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

The current general mandate granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares will also expire at the Annual General Meeting. An ordinary resolution will be proposed to renew the general mandate granting authorities to the Directors, in the terms set out in the notice of Annual General Meeting, to repurchase the Company's own Shares up to a limit of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of passing the resolution.

The Repurchase Mandate, if granted, will be effective for the period ending on the earliest of the date of the next annual general meeting, the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law and the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied.

The Repurchase Mandate will allow the Company to repurchase its own Shares, inter alia, on-market in accordance with the Listing Rules.

4. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of five Directors, namely Mr. Eav Yin, Ms. Eav Xin Qi Rosanna, Mr. Eav Feng Ming, Jonathan, Mr. Lai Si Ming and Mr. Lee Tat Cheung, Vincent.

Pursuant to Bye-law 99 of the Bye-law of the Company, Ms. Eav Xin Qi Rosanna and Mr. Lai Si Ming shall retire by rotation from office at the Annual General Meeting and shall be eligible and offer themselves for re-election.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Lai Si Ming has served as Independent non-executive Director for more than 9 years and his re-election will be subject to separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. As Independent non-executive Director with in-depth understanding of the Company's operations and business, Mr. Lai has expressed objective views and given independent guidance to the Company over the years, and he will continue demonstrating a firm commitment to his role. The Board considers that the long service of Mr. Lai would not affect his exercise of independent judgment and is satisfied that Mr. Lai has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of Independent non-executive Director. The Board considers the re-election of Mr. Lai as Independent non-executive Director is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The nomination committee of the Company had assessed and reviewed the annual written confirmation of independence of each of the Independent non-executive Directors for the year ended 31 March 2020 based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The nomination committee of the Company had considered and nominated the above retiring Directors to the Board for it to propose to the Shareholders for re-election at the AGM.

The proposal of re-election of retiring Directors has been reviewed by the nomination committee on their performance and considering a range of diversity perspectives including but not limited to educational background, ethnicity, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service, as set out in the board diversity policy of the Company. In particular, the nomination committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the retiring Directors, and the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's board diversity policy and nomination policy. The Board has proposed that each of the above retiring Directors, namely Ms. Eav Xin Qi Rosanna and Mr. Lai Si Ming stands for re-election as Director by way of separate resolutions at the AGM.

Details of these Directors offering themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

5. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice of Annual General Meeting is set out at the end of this circular. A proxy form for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed herein.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of 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. The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

7. RECOMMENDATION

The Board believes that all the above-mentioned resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the repurchase of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.

1. THE LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange or on another stock exchange on which the shares of the companies may be listed and recognised for this purpose by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all on-market repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchases or by way of specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 747,123,220 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Resolution to repurchase, a maximum of 74,712,322 Shares representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

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

8

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-Laws of the Company, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda which 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 dividend or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for dividend or out of the share premium or contributed surplus accounts of the Company.

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 financial accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020 in the event that the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that 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.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

6. UNDERTAKING

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 and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Bye-Laws of the Company and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

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

7. 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 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, according to the register of substantial Shareholders maintained under section 336 of the SFO, Mr. Eav Yin, an executive Director and the Chairman of the Board together with his associates and his spouse Ms. Lam Kim Phung were interested in 442,734,736 Shares, representing approximately 59.26% of the issued share capital of the Company. Based on such interest and in the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of Mr. Eav Yin together with his associates in the Company would be increased to approximately 65.84% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate.

In addition, two other Directors, were interested in a total of 1,519,536 Shares, representing approximately 0.20% of the issued share capital of the Company. Based on such interest and in the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the interests of two Directors in the Company would be increased to approximately 0.23% of the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the number of Shares held by the Shareholders (other than Mr. Eav Yin and his respective associates and two other Directors) would fall to 33.93% which is above the public float of 25% as prescribed in the Listing Rules.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

If more than one proxy is so appointed, the appointment shall specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such proxy is so appointed.
