Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS,

GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATES

TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND TO ISSUE SHARES

AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the 2021 AGM Notice and information in respect of certain resolutions to be proposed at the 2021 AGM. These include ordinary resolutions relating to, among other things, (i) the re-election of the retiring Directors; and (ii) the granting to the Directors of the Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate.

  • For identification purpose only

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were three executive Directors, namely Mr. Lee Bing Kwong ("Mr. Lee"), Mr. Lo Yuen Kin ("Mr. Lo") and Ms. Lo Yuen Lai ("Ms. Lo"); and three INEDs, namely Mr. Cheung Siu Kui, Mr. Yim Kwok Man and Dr. Chow Terence ("Dr. Chow").

In accordance with Article 84(1) of the Articles of Association provides that at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an AGM at least once every three years. According to article 84(2) of the Articles of Association, a retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of Directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. Accordingly, Ms. Lo and Dr. Chow will retire from office by rotation and being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the 2021 AGM.

The Nomination Committee has assessed and reviewed the annual written confirmation of independence from each of the INEDs based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that all the INEDs, including Dr. Chow remain independent. Further, the Nomination Committee has also evaluated the performance of each of Ms. Lo and Dr. Chow during the Year based on the nomination policy of the Company, which was disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the Year and found their performance satisfactory. The Nomination Committee also considered that Dr. Chow's experience, skills and other perspectives as set out in Appendix I to this circular can bring further contributions to the Board and its diversity. Therefore, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has recommended that the retiring Directors, namely Ms. Lo and Dr. Chow, to stand for re-election as Directors at the 2021 AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of Ms. Lo and Dr. Chow abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders. The Board believes that the continuous appointment of the retiring Directors contributes to the stability and diversity of the Board.

The particulars required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules in relation to the retiring Directors proposed for re-election are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

The general mandate previously granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares at the 2020 AGM will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM. In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase Shares if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2021 AGM to approve the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange or other recognised stock exchange with a total number not exceeding 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution (i.e. a total of 100,000,000 Shares assuming that there is no change in the total number of Shares in issue before the 2021 AGM). The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase any Share pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate is to remain in effect until whichever is the earliest of (a) the conclusion of the next AGM; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required by the Articles of Associate or any applicable laws to be held; and (c) the date on which the authority set out in this resolution is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed ordinary resolution for granting the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

The general mandate previously granted to the Directors to allot Shares at the 2020 AGM will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM. In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue Shares if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2021 AGM to approve the granting of the Issue Mandate to the Directors to allot, issue or otherwise deal with Shares with a total number not exceeding 20% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution (i.e. a total of 200,000,000 Shares assuming that there is no change in the total number of Shares in issue before the 2021 AGM). Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution to extend the Issue Mandate by adding the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will also be proposed at the 2021 AGM.

The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate.

The Issue Mandate is to remain in effect until whichever is the earliest of (a) the conclusion of the next AGM; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required by the Articles of Associate or any applicable laws to be held; and (c) the date on which the authority set out in this resolution is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the 2021 AGM or its adjournment if you so wish. In such event, the form of proxy should be deemed to be revoked.

6. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed resolutions referred to in this circular and the

Dr. Chow has worked in various public and academic units including medicine, surgery, orthopaedics & traumatology, oncology, anaesthesia and intensive care before starting his private general practice in 1991.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE 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 2021 AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,000,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate at the

2021 AGM and on the basis that there will be no change to the total number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the 2021 AGM, i.e. being 1,000,000,000 Shares, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 100,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the 2021 AGM.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on 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 where the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE

The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its memorandum of association, the Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE

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 consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the Year) in the event that the 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 Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. GENERAL

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

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons 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 Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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

- 11 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of 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 of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 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 at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Best Sheen Limited ("Best Sheen") was beneficially interested in 750,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 75% of the total issued Shares. Best Sheen is wholly owned by Mr. Lee, an executive Director, the Chairman and the CEO. Accordingly, Mr. Lee is deemed to be interested in 750,000,000 Shares held by Best Sheen. Ms. Lo, the wife of Mr. Lee and an executive Director, is deemed to be interested in the Shares by virtue of the SFO. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the interests in the Company in each of Mr. Lee, Best Sheen and Ms. Lo would be increased to approximately 83.33% of the total number of issued Shares and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate. Assuming that there is no change in the issued Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of a repurchase, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in whole or in a certain part will reduce the percentage of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the Company's total issued Shares. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as may result in the public shareholding falling below the minimum public float percentage of 25% required by the Listing Rules.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

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