SUPPLEMENTAL CIRCULAR

TO

THE CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS DATED 29 JULY 2020 IN RESPECT OF MATTERS RELATING TO RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

This supplemental circular (the "Supplemental Circular") should be read together with the circular to shareholders dated 29 July 2020 (the "Circular") which contains, inter alia, information of the re-election of retiring Directors at the Annual General Meeting. In particular, shareholders' attention is drawn to Appendix II of the Circular. The purpose of the Supplemental Circular is to give you further information regarding the re-election of retiring Directors. Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used in the Supplemental Circular shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

  • For identification purpose only

1

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Annual General Meeting will be held on 17 September 2020. The purpose of the Supplemental Circular is to provide you with (a) the supplemental notice of the Annual General Meeting (the "Supplemental Notice") (which is set out on pages 7 and 8 herein) and (b) information regarding (i) the change in the resolution to consider and approve the re-election of retiring Directors, and (ii) the special arrangements about completion and submission of the Revised Proxy Form (as defined below).

2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Bye-law 99 of the Bye-law of the Company stipulates that at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to one-third but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation, provided that (i) no Director holding offices as Chairman or Managing Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation or be taken into account in determining the number of Directors to retire and (ii) save for a Director holding office as Chairman or Managing Director, every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years at an Annual General Meeting. The Directors to retire in every year shall be those who have been longest in office since their last election but as between persons who became Directors on the same day shall (unless they otherwise agree between themselves) be determined by lot. The retiring Directors shall be eligible for re-election. The Company at any general meeting at which any Directors retire may fill the vacated offices.

As mentioned in the Circular and based on the then existing Directors as at the date of the Circular, Ms. Eav Xin Qi Rosanna and Mr. Lai Si Ming shall retire by rotation from office at the Annual General Meeting. As announced by the Company on 10 August 2020, Mr. Kee Wah Sze has appointed as an independent non-executive Director with effect from 10 August 2020. As the number of existing Directors is 6, the said change of directorship has not given rise to a change in the number of directors who are subject to retirement by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. However, pursuant to Bye-law 102 of the Bye-law of the Company, Mr. Kee Wah Sze shall hold office only until the next annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Mr. Kee Wah Sze will offer himself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

The nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") 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 and the written confirmation of independence given by Mr. Kee Wah Sze 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.

Accordingly, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed that each of the retiring Directors, namely Ms. Eav Xin Qi Rosanna, Mr. Lai Si Ming and Mr. Kee Wah Sze stands for re-election as Director by way of separate resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.

In view of the above, the resolutions under item numbered 2 relating to the re-election of the retiring Directors as set out in the notice of Annual General Meeting in the Circular should be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the new resolutions under item numbered 2 as set out in the Supplemental Notice.

2

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Details of Ms. Eav Xin Qi Rosanna and Mr. Lai Si Ming, the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting, are set out in Appendix II to the Circular. Details of Mr. Kee Wah Sze who is proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting, is set out in the Appendix I to the Supplemental Circular.

3. SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE AND THE REVISED PROXY FORM

As a result of the change in Directors to be retired and offered for re-election at the Annual General Meeting subsequent to the dispatch of the Circular containing the notice of the Annual General Meeting and the proxy form (the "Original Proxy Form") on 29 July 2020, the Supplemental Notice is set out on pages 7 and 8 of the Supplemental Circular together with the revised proxy form for use at the Annual General Meeting (the "Revised Proxy Form"). Save as disclosed above, all the resolutions originally proposed in the Circular will remain unchanged.

Please refer to the Circular and the notice of Annual General Meeting for the details of other resolutions to be proposed in the Annual General Meeting and other relevant matters.

Special arrangements about the completion and submission of the Revised Proxy Form are also set out in Appendix II to the Supplemental Circular. Shareholders who have appointed or intend to appoint a proxy/proxies to attend the Annual General Meeting are requested to pay particular attention to the special arrangements set out therein. Shareholders are requested to complete the Revised Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

4. RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the re-election of the retiring Directors as referred to in the Circular and the Supplemental Circular is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends that all Shareholders should vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

APPENDIX II SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS ABOUT COMPLETION AND SUBMISSION OF THE REVISED PROXY FORM

A Shareholder who has not yet lodged the Original Proxy Form with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong is requested to lodge the Revised Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon if the Shareholder wishes to appoint a proxy/proxies to attend the Annual General Meeting on its/his/her behalf. In this case, the Original Proxy Form should not be lodged with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong.

A Shareholder who has already lodged the Original Proxy Form with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong should note that:

  1. if no Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, the Original Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by the Shareholder. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder under the Original Proxy Form will be entitled to vote at his discretion or abstain on any resolution properly put to the Annual General Meeting other than those referred to in the notice of Annual General Meeting, as supplemented by the Supplemental Notice, and the Original Proxy Form, as revised by the Revised Proxy Form;
  2. if the Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong at a time in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof (the "Closing Time"), the Revised Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by the Shareholder and will revoke and supersede the Original Proxy Form previously lodged by the Shareholder; or
  3. if the Revised Proxy Form is lodged with the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong after the Closing Time, or if lodged before the Closing Time but is incorrectly completed, the Revised Proxy Form will be invalid and in the latter case, the validity of the Revised Proxy Form will be subject to the discretion of the Board. Whether or not the Revised Proxy Form is valid, it will revoke the Original Proxy Form previously lodged by the Shareholder, and any vote that may be cast by the purported proxy appointed under the Original Proxy Form will not be counted in any poll which may be taken on a proposed resolution. Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to complete the Revised Proxy Form carefully and lodge the Revised Proxy Form before the Closing Time. If such Shareholders wish to vote at the Annual General Meeting, they will have to attend in person and vote at the Annual General Meeting themselves.

Shareholders are reminded that completion and delivery of the Original Proxy Form and/or the Revised Proxy Form will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting or any adjourned meeting should they so wish.
