LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors;
  2. to grant an extension to the Directors to extend the General Mandate to include the Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate;
  3. the declaration of final dividend and special dividend; and
  4. to re-elect the retiring Directors.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in relation to the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM regarding the above and to give you the notice of the AGM.

GENERAL MANDATE AND ITS EXTENSION AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

General Mandate and its extension

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 1 June 2020, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Two ordinary resolutions will accordingly be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant, respectively, the General Mandate and an extension of the General Mandate by adding any Shares representing the number of Shares repurchased by the Company after and subject to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The Company had in issue an aggregate of 2,598,561,326 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the General Mandate and in accordance with the terms therein, the Company would be allowed to allot and issue up to a maximum of 519,712,265 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of issued Shares at the time of the passing of the resolution approving the General Mandate on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM. Details of the General Mandate and its extension are set out in Resolutions 5 and 7 in the notice of the AGM set out on pages AGM-1 to AGM-5 of this circular.

The General Mandate is desirable as it gives the Directors flexibility and discretion to allot Shares where they believe it is in the best interest of the Shareholders to do so, in particular, pursuant to any capital raising or other strategic needs that may arise from time to time. The Directors have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Repurchase Mandate

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors. The explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be included in this circular is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are to be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 259,856,132 Shares.

The General Mandate and its extension and the Repurchase Mandate will expire upon 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 other applicable law of the Cayman Islands to be held; or
  3. the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying the authority given to the Directors.

DECLARATION OF FINAL DIVIDEND AND SPECIAL DIVIDEND

According to the announcements of the Company dated 31 March 2021, the Board recommended the declaration and payment of a final dividend of HK4 cents per Share and a special dividend of HK6 cents per Share for the year ended 31 December 2020, will be distributed on or about Friday, 16 July 2021 to shareholders of the Company whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on Friday, 18 June 2021. The register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 15 June 2021 to Friday, 18 June 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no share transfer will be effected.

The proposed final dividend and special dividend are subject to approval by the Shareholders at the forthcoming AGM, and will be distributed from the share premium of the Company.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to Article 87 of the Articles of Association, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation at every annual general meeting of the Company. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election.

In accordance with Article 87 of the Articles of Association, each of Mr. Tse Kam Pang, Mr. Wu Dingliang and Mr. Yue Man Yiu Matthew shall retire from his office as Director by rotation but shall be eligible for re-election.

Pursuant to Code Provision A.4.3 of the Corporate Governance Code as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive director serves an issuer for more than nine (9) years, any further appointment of such an independent non-executive director shall be

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the shareholders. As Mr. Yue Man Yiu Matthew will be serving the Company as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine (9) years if he is re-elected at the AGM, a separate resolution will be proposed at the AGM to further appoint Mr. Yue Man Yiu Matthew as an independent non-executive Director.

The Nomination Committee of the Board has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, 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 the Company's policy for the nomination of Directors ("Nomination Policy"), the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of all independent non-executive Directors. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board the re-election Mr. Tse Kam Pang, Mr. Wu Dingliang and Mr. Yue Man Yiu Matthew at the AGM.

Particulars relating to Mr. Tse Kam Pang, Mr. Wu Dingliang and Mr. Yue Man Yiu Matthew are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

AGM

Taking into account the recent development of the epidemic caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Company will implement the following prevention and control measures at the AGM to protect Shareholders from the risk of infection:

  1. compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every attending Shareholder or proxy at the entrance of the venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.3 degrees Celsius will not be admitted to the venue, but will be able to vote by submitting a voting slip to the scrutineer at the entrance of the venue;
  2. every attending Shareholder or proxy is required to wear a surgical mask throughout the AGM; and
  3. no refreshments or souvenirs will be served or distributed at the AGM.

Any person who does not comply with the precautionary measures or is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine may be denied entry into the meeting venue. The Company wishes to advise all Shareholders, in particular those who are subject to quarantine in relation to COVID-19, that they may appoint any person or the Chairman of the AGM as a proxy to attend and vote on any of the resolutions in lieu of attending the AGM in person.

The Company will closely monitor and ascertain the regulations and measures introduced or to be introduced by the Hong Kong Government, and if necessary, will make further announcements in case of any update regarding the precautionary measures to be carried out at the AGM.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A notice of the AGM is set out on pages AGM-1 to AGM-5 of this circular. Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Therefore, all resolutions proposed at the AGM shall be voted on 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.

Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy accompanying this circular in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof. The completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM or adjournment thereof in person if you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the proposed grant of the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the General Mandate to the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the declaration of final dividend and special dividend and the proposed re-election of retiring Directors are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the above resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

The Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value of the Company and its net assets and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors believe that an exercise of the General Mandate to allot and issue new Shares will enable the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for and/or as a means of payment by the Company.

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 the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

GENERAL

Your attention is drawn to the information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully

For and on behalf of the board of Directors of

Royale Home Holdings Limited

Chairman and Executive Director

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PERSONS

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing securities on the Stock Exchange from a "connected person", that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective associates and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its securities to the Company on the Stock Exchange.

None of the Directors and, to the best of the knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates have any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company. None of the core connected persons of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company have has any such core connected persons undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted to the Directors.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued shares of the Company was 2,598,561,326 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are to be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 259,856,132 Shares.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

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

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchase would be funded entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the Cayman Islands law and the Articles of Association of the Company for such purpose.

- I-1 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of those funds legally permitted to be utilised in this connection, including capital paid up on the relevant shares, or out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution 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 funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company.

5. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF REPURCHASES

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its latest published audited accounts as at 31 December 2020). The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate.

6. SHARE PRICES

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

7. MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING AND TAKEOVERS CODE IMPLICATIONS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM and exercised.

If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Company had been notified that the following Shareholders were interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue:

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. On 24 May 2019, SCHK, Mr. Tse, Leading Star, Crisana and Charming Future (the "Concert Group") entered into a acting in concert arrangement. SCHK, Mr. Tse, Leading Star, Crisana and Charming Future are parties acting in concert (having the meaning ascribed to it under the Takeovers Code). As such, SCHK, Mr. Tse, Leading Star (being wholly owned by Mr. Tse), Crisana (being wholly owned by Mr. Tse) and Charming Future (being wholly owned by Mr. Tse) are deemed to be interested in 74.86% of the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Directors shall exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of the Concert Group would be increased to approximately the percentage shown in the last column above and the Directors are not aware that such increase will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as consequences of any purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors do not intend to exercise the power to purchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Company will also not repurchase Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares were made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

9. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they would exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

- I-4 -

Others

During the last three years, Mr. Yue was an independent non-executive director of Asia Cassava Resources Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 841) and China Suntien Green Energy Corporation Limited (Stock Code: 956), all being listed public companies in Hong Kong. Save as disclosed, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Yue did not hold any directorships in other public listed companies in Hong Kong or overseas in the past three years and did not hold other position within the Group. Save as disclosed, there is no information relating to Mr. Yue that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Rules 13.51(2)(h) to (v) of the Listing Rules and there is no other matter that needs to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

Mr. Yue has been serving the Company as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years since November 2011. The Board appreciates the importance of observing the Corporate Governance Code, and seeks to conduct itself in compliance with the underlying principles in relation to tenure of office of Director. The Board understands and strives to strike an appropriate balance between continuity of experience and quality advice and guidance arising from familiarity with the affairs of the Company and the necessity of board refreshment and succession planning. The Board considers that although, as stated in the Corporate Governance Code, serving on the Board for more than nine years could be relevant to the determination of the appropriateness of the re-election of an independent non-executive Director, it may not be meaningful to or to the benefit of the Company to determine an individual's appropriateness and independence arbitrarily on the basis of his/her service for a specified period of time (e.g. nine years).

The Board adopts a qualitative approach in assessing a candidate's independence and appropriateness with reference to the overall assessment of all the attributes associated with the recommendation for re-election of an individual. In the process of assessing his independence, each of the factors referred to in Listing Rule 3.13(1) to (8) has been confirmed. In line with this, the Company recognizes the continued independence of Mr. Yue under Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Serving as an independent non-executive Director, Mr. Yue has brought high standards of corporate governance to the Company and contributed objectively in advising, as well as monitoring and mentoring the management of the Company. Being familiar with the corporate values of the Company, the presence of Mr. Yue has enhanced these values by his sustained development of a strong advisory relationship with the Company. Mr. Yue has also provided the Company with his annual independence confirmation is accordance with Rules 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Directors consider that continued tenure brings considerable stability to the Board and the Board has benefited greatly from the presence of Mr. Yue, who has over time gained valuable insight into the Group, the industry in which it operates, the ordinary affairs associated with its business and its markets. Apart from Mr. Yue's historical valuable contribution to the Group and his experiences accumulated with regard to the affairs of the Group, in assessing the re-election of Mr. Yue as an independent non-executive Director, the nomination committee of the Company and the Board have also considered Mr. Yue's expertise and professional qualifications in the fields of accounting, finance, management and corporate governance with reference to the selection criteria under the Nomination Policy. The Board has

- II-5 -

also taken in account Mr. Yue's continuous efforts in personal and professional development in the fields of accounting, finance, securities and management, and the holistic view and insight he possesses by way of sitting in the board of directors of other listed company(ies) in Hong Kong (which the Company may make use of), Mr. Yue's character and integrity as a professional who is constantly involved in and bound by professional rules of conduct for the provision of impartial advice to others despite long-established relationships, and Mr. Yue's active involvement in scrutinizing the corporate governance and internal control of the Company. In light of the analysis above, the Board believes that it would be in the overall best interest of the Group that Mr. Yue be recommended for re-election after a careful balancing exercise conducted by the Nomination Committee and the Board.
