At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 10 June 2020, a general and unconditional mandate was granted to the Directors to issue, allot and deal with Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issuance Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting).

5. PROPOSED GRANTING OF SPECIFIC MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER THE RSU SCHEME

Reference is made to the prospectus of the Company dated 8 July 2014 and the announcement dated 22 December 2014 in relation to the RSU Scheme. The RSU Scheme is not a share option scheme and is not subject to the provisions of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the written resolutions of all the Shareholders passed on 27 June 2014, the Company issued and allotted 30,200,000 Shares to the trustees of the RSU Scheme which held the Shares in trust for satisfying release of shares upon vesting under RSUs granted by the Company to eligible participants of the RSU Scheme. To satisfy the grant of shares under the RSU Scheme, 14,107,500 Shares, 10,200,000 Shares and 14,000,000 Shares were issued in aggregate on 23 October 2015, 18 December 2018 and 3 September 2019 respectively.

In addition, for the purpose of the RSU Scheme, Shares have been purchased from the market from time to time by Computershare Hong Kong Trustees Limited, one of the trustees of the RSU Scheme, which held the Shares in trust to be utilized to satisfy future grant of RSUs by the Company to eligible participants of the RSU Scheme. During the period from the date of the adoption of the RSU Scheme to the Latest Practicable Date, Computershare Hong Kong Trustees Limited purchased 1,952,000 Shares, 9,284,000 Shares, 2,250,000 Shares, 8,400,000 Shares, 0 Shares and 0 Shares in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 respectively on the market, which made up for a total of 21,886,000 Shares, of which 6,692,000 Shares have been utilized to satisfy the grant of shares under the RSU Scheme, and 15,194,000 Shares are unallocated.

Since the adoption date of the RSU Scheme, the trustees of the RSU Scheme have held 90,393,500 Shares, of which 3,600,000 Shares were granted to two connected persons of the Company, 60,792,849 Shares were granted to employees of the Company who are not connected persons of the Company (for clarification purpose, 71,599,500 Shares were previously granted to employees of the Company who are not connected persons of the Company and 21,627,151 Shares of which have been forfeited in accordance with the RSU Scheme. Out of the 21,627,151 forfeited Shares, 10,820,500 Shares have subsequently been granted to employees who are not connected persons of the Company, and the remaining 10,806,651 forfeited Shares are Returned Shares to be utilized to satisfy the future grant of RSUs), 15,194,000 Shares are Unallocated Shares and 10,806,651 Shares are Returned Shares. Computershare Hong Kong Trustees Limited currently holds 31,310,645 Shares, of which 5,309,994 Shares have been granted but not yet vested as well as 15,194,000 Unallocated Shares and 10,806,651 Returned Shares to be utilized to satisfy the future grant of RSUs.

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 10 June 2020, a specific mandate was granted to the Directors to grant RSUs in connection with the RSU Scheme and to issue, allot, procure the transfer of, and otherwise deal with the Shares granted under the RSU Scheme. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. In order to give the Company

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the flexibility to grant RSUs in connection with the RSU Scheme and to issue, allot, procure the transfer of, and otherwise deal with the Shares granted under the RSU Scheme if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the RSU Specific Mandate to issue and allot not more than 3% of the total number of issued Shares on the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 8 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 25 to 30 of this circular (i.e. a total of 42,485,541 Shares assuming that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting), and to procure the transfer of, and otherwise deal with, the Shares granted under the RSU Scheme. The 3% RSU Specific Mandate is conditional upon (i) passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve RSU Specific Mandate at the Annual General Meeting; and (ii) the Stock Exchange's granting the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Shares (representing a maximum of 3% of the total number of issued Shares on the day of passing of the resolution at the Annual General Meeting) to be issued under the RSU Specific Mandate. For clarification purpose, the 3% granting limit is only applicable to the newly issued Shares whereas the maximum number of Shares to be granted under the RSU Scheme (i.e. 10% of the issued share capital of the Company on 18 July 2014) includes the newly issued Shares which are subject to the approval of Shareholders at general meetings, and shares purchased by the trustees of the RSU Scheme from time to time. The RSU Specific Mandate, if granted, will remain in effect during the period from the date of passing of the ordinary resolution granting the RSU Specific Mandate until whichever is the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company;
  2. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; and
  3. the date of revocation or variation of RSU Specific Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Shares (representing a maximum of 3% of the total number of issued Shares on the day of passing of the resolution at the Annual General Meeting) to be issued under the RSU Specific Mandate.

The table below is for illustration only and sets out the shareholding structure of the Company

  1. as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) upon allotment and issue of all the Shares if the RSU Specific Mandate is exercised in full, assuming no other Shares will be issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the date until all new Shares have been allotted and issued under the RSU Specific Mandate (if any):

Limited, which is not a connected person of the Company. The 39,244,849 Shares beneficially owned by other existing grantees under the RSU Scheme include the 33,934,855 vested but undisposed Shares and the 5,309,994 unvested Shares.

  1. Returned Shares refer to the unvested Shares previously granted to employees but were forfeited voluntarily or forfeited at the date of their resignation. Returned Shares are held by Computershare Hong Kong Trustees Limited on trust and are expected to be utilized to satisfy future grant of RSUs, if any.
  2. Unallocated Shares refer to the Shares previously purchased by Computershare Hong Kong Trustees Limited on trust to be utilized to satisfy future grant of award.

The cost attributable to the grant of any awards under the RSU Scheme will be accounted for by reference to the market value of the Shares at the time of the grant, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which Shares were granted. The fair value of the RSUs granted to employees is recognized as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in a capital reserve within equity. Where the employees have to meet vesting conditions before becoming unconditionally entitled to the RSUs, the total estimated fair value of the RSUs as of the grant date is spread over the vesting period, taking into account the probability that the RSUs will vest. The Company will give due consideration to any financial impact arising from the grant of awards under the RSU Scheme before exercising the RSU Scheme Mandate.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Shares issued pursuant to the RSU Specific Mandate will not count towards the Shares to be issued (if any) pursuant to the Issuance Mandate proposed under the ordinary resolution contained in item 6 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting.

Once the Company has identified specific grantees and decide to utilise the RSU Specific Mandate for any grants, the Company will issue an announcement disclosing the relevant details, including but not limited to the identities of the grantees and their respective numbers of RSUs. For any grant of Shares to connected persons of the Company, the Company will comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, including obtaining the Independent Shareholders' approval. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the 1,800,000 Shares granted to each of Mr. Kang Jingwei, Jeffrey and Mr. Wu Lun Cheung Allen, no Shares have been granted to connected persons of the Company.

The Company has two trustees for the RSU Scheme, Computershare Hong Kong Trustees Limited (''Computershare'') and The Core Trust Company Limited (''Core Trust'', and together with Computershare, the ''Trustees''), which are third parties independent of the Company. The Directors do not have any interest in the Trustees. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had approximately 495 employees, of which 12 are participants of the RSU Scheme. Core Trust holds the Shares under the RSU Scheme for beneficiaries who are connected persons of the Company and Computershare holds the Shares under the RSU Scheme for beneficiaries who are not connected persons of the Company. Core Trust is an associate of the connected persons of the Company. If the Company issues any new Shares to Core Trust, it will constitute a connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and the Company will comply with the relevant requirements accordingly. If the Company purchases Shares in the open market to satisfy any grant to its connected persons (including Core Trust), it will not constitute a connected transaction under

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Computershare will not be a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules because it does not hold the Shares under the RSU Scheme for and on behalf of the Directors and is therefore not a ''close associate'' of the Directors for the purpose of Rule 1.01 of the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) Core Trust does not hold any Shares for and on behalf of the connected persons of the Company; and (ii) Computershare holds 5,309,994 Shares for and on behalf of independent third parties prior to them being vested and these Shares are counted towards the public float for the purpose of Rules 8.08 and 8.24 of the Listing Rules.

The Trustees who collectively hold 31,310,645 Shares, representing approximately 2.21% of the total number of Shares in issue on the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 8 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting, on the assumption that no Shares are issued to the Trustees during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, shall not exercise the voting rights in respect of any Shares held under trust and will therefore abstain from voting on the proposed resolution contained in item 8 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting. Save as disclosed above, to the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, no other Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the Annual General Meeting in respect of the RSU Scheme.

Further information in connection with the RSU Scheme is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

6. RE-APPOINTMENT OF SHINEWING (HK) CPA LIMITED AS AUDITOR OF THE COMPANY

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,416,184,732 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 1,416,184,732 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, up to a total of 141,618,473 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting during the period 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 or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date of revocation or variation of the Share Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be. The Company may not purchase securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

- 18 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

It is presently proposed that any repurchase of Shares would be made out of capital paid up on the repurchased Shares, funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose and, in the case of any premium payable on such repurchase, from funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or from the Company's share premium account.

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 December 2020) in the event that the Share 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 Share 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.

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

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

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of such increase.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the substantial Shareholders who were interested in 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company were as follows:

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

Notes:

  1. All the Shares are held in long position (as defined under Part XV of the SFO).
  2. Mr. Kang owns Envision Global as to 100%, which in turn owns 650,200,000 Shares. Therefore, Mr. Kang is deemed to be interested in the 650,200,000 Shares held by Envision Global.
  3. Ms. Yao owns Total Dynamic Holdings Limited as to 100%, which in turn owns 182,888,000 Shares. Therefore, Ms. Yao is deemed to be interested in these Shares held by Total Dynamic Holdings Limited.
  4. The percentage is this table is for illustrative purpose only, subject to rounding errors and is calculated based on the number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the interests of the substantial shareholders in the Company will be increased to approximately the percentages as set out in the table above. The Directors believe that such increases in shareholding may give rise to an obligation on Envision Global and Mr. Kang to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting) to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the public float of the Company is approximately 40.92%. If the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate is fully exercised by the Directors, the public float of the Company will be decreased to approximately 34.36%.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the 6 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not purchased any Shares on the Stock Exchange.

The RSU Scheme became effective upon the Listing Date and was amended and restated on 21 December 2014.
