PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

Reference is made to the Company's announcement dated 12 November 2019.

The existing authorised share capital of the Company is HK$400,000,000.00 divided into 4,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each, of which 2,718,236,970 Shares were in issue and 1,281,763,030 Shares are authorized but unissued as at the Latest Practicable Date. In addition, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has outstanding Options entitling the holders to subscribe for 318,992,575 Shares upon their full exercise.

In order to accommodate future expansion and growth of the Company and to provide the Company with greater flexibility to raise funds by allotting and issuing Shares in the future as and when necessary, the Board proposed to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$400,000,000.00 divided into 4,000,000,000 Shares to HK$1,200,000,000.00 divided into 12,000,000,000 Shares by the creation of additional 8,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each. The new Shares shall rank pari passu with each other and with the existing Shares in all respects upon issue. The Increase in Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM.

The Directors have no present intention of issuing any part of the proposed increased authorised share capital of the Company.

The EGM will be held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the ordinary resolution in respect of the Increase in Authorised Share Capital.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTOR

APPENDIX

DETAILS OF THE DIRECTOR PROPOSED

TO BE RE-ELECTED AT THE EGM

Details of the Director who will retire from office at the EGM and being eligible, offered himself for re-election at the EGM, is set out below:

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Executive Director

Mr. Yau Yan Ming Raymond ("Mr. Yau")

Mr. Yau, aged 51, was appointed as an executive Director with effect from 18 November

2019. Mr. Yau obtained a bachelor's degree in Business Administration (Accounting) from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and a master of science degree in Japanese Business Studies from Chaminade University of Honolulu. Mr. Yau has over 22 years' experience in auditing, accounting, taxation, company secretarial, corporate finance, IPO and financial management. Mr. Yau is an associate member of Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, a member of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and a fellow and certified tax adviser of The Taxation Institute of Hong Kong.

There is no service contract or fixed term of service between the Company and Mr. Yau. Mr. Yau's appointment is subject to retirement and re-election at general meeting pursuant to the Articles. Mr. Yau is entitled to director's remuneration of HK$30,000 per month, which was determined by the Remuneration Committee and the Board taking into account Mr. Yau's skill, knowledge and experience and his duties and responsibilities with the Company.

Mr. Yau is currently an independent non-executive director of Unitas Holdings Limited (stock code: 8020), a company listed on the GEM Board of the Stock Exchange. Between 6 October 2014 and 19 January 2017, Mr. Yau was an independent non-executive director of Enterprise Development Holdings Limited (stock code: 1808), a company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.

Save as disclosed above, Mr. Yau does not on the Latest Practicable Date hold, and has not in the last three years held, any directorship in other public listed companies in Hong Kong or overseas. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Yau does not hold any other positions in the Company or its subsidiaries. Mr. Yau confirmed to the Company that he does not have any relationships with any other directors, senior management, substantial shareholders or controlling shareholders of the Company, and that he does not have any interest in the Shares (within the meaning of Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance) as at the Latest Practicable Date.

APPENDIX

DETAILS OF THE DIRECTOR PROPOSED

TO BE RE-ELECTED AT THE EGM

On 3 January 2013, Mr. Yau was criticised by the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Committee") in relation to the breaches of certain provisions of the Listing Rules while acting as an independent non-executive director of Birmingham Sports Holdings Limited (stock code: 2309) ("BSHL"), a company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. According to a news release issued by the Stock Exchange on 19 September 2012 (the "News Release"), the Listing Committee concluded that Mr. Yau and certain other directors of BSHL were in breach of the director's undertaking given by them to the Stock Exchange for failing to use their best endeavours to procure BSHL to comply with the Listing Rules. Further details of the News Release can be found on the website of the Stock Exchange.

The News Release did not appear to contain any allegations of fraud or dishonesty. Apart from the direction of the Listing Committee to require Mr. Yau to undergo certain hours of director's training which he duly completed, Mr. Yau confirmed that no further action was taken against him in relation to the subject matter leading to the criticism. Therefore, the Board is of the view that Mr. Yau has the character, experience and integrity and is able to demonstrate a standard of competence commensurate with his position as an executive Director of the Company.

Save as disclosed above, there is no other information relating to Mr. Yau 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 and the Stock Exchange in relation to the re-election of Mr. Yau.
