LETTER FROM THE BOARD

This circular contains further information relating to the resolutions proposed so as to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolutions proposed. A notice for convening the AGM is also set out in this circular and a form of proxy is included for your further action.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 23 June 2020, ordinary resolutions have been passed by the Shareholders granting the general mandates to the Directors to issue and repurchase Shares. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Resolutions will therefore be proposed at the AGM to renew the grant of these general mandates.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of a general and unconditional Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company, to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares of not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution provided that if any subsequent consolidation or subdivision of Shares is effected, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the relevant resolution as a percentage of the total number of issued Shares at the date immediately before and after such consolidation or subdivision shall be the same and such maximum number of Shares shall be adjusted accordingly, for the period from the passing of such resolution until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the memorandum of association of the Company and Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) when revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 900,000,000 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with, a maximum of 180,000,000 Shares.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of a general and unconditional Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed up to 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution provided that if any subsequent consolidation or subdivision of Shares is effected, the maximum number of Shares that may be repurchased pursuant to the relevant resolution as a percentage of the total number of issued Shares at the date immediately before and after such consolidation or subdivision shall be the same and such maximum number of Shares shall be adjusted accordingly, for the period from the passing of such resolution until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the memorandum of association of the Company and Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) when revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first. The Listing Rules contain a provision to regulate the repurchase by companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange of their own shares. In accordance with Rule 10.06(b) of the Listing Rules, this circular contains an explanatory statement as set out in Appendix I to provide the Shareholders with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate. For the purpose of this circular, the term "Shares" shall have the meaning ascribed thereto under the Takeovers Code which means Share of all classes and securities which carry a right to subscribe to purchase Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 90,000,000 Shares.

An ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM in relation to the extension of the general mandate to be granted to the Directors to allot, issue, and otherwise deal with additional Shares under the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of shares of the Company repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate, if any. The Directors have no present intention to fully exercise the Issue Mandate or the Repurchase Mandate for issuing and repurchasing the Shares respectively.

The full text of these resolutions are set out as ordinary resolutions numbers 5 to 7 in the notice of AGM on pages 17 to 22 of this circular.

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprises three executive Directors, namely, Mr. Tan Shuay Tarng Vincent, Ms. Ng Hui Bin Audrey and Ms. Beng Lee Ser Marisa, one non-executive Director, namely, Mr. Raymond Wong and three independent non-executive Directors, namely, Mr. Chow Wing Tung, Mr. Hui Yan Kit and Mr. Tam Yat Kin Ken.

According to Article 84, at each AGM one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, 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 by rotation at the AGM at least once every three years.

Accordingly, Mr. Tan Shuay Tarng Vincent and Mr. Chow Wing Tung will offer themselves for re-election at AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to Article 83, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following AGM of the Company and shall then be eligible for re- election.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This explanatory statement relates to the resolution proposed to be passed at the AGM authorising the grant of the Repurchase Mandate. It contains all the information under Rule 10.06(b) of the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against such ordinary resolution.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 900,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution (the "Resolution") to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of the Resolution, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 90,000,000 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the Resolution).

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares on the market. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and/or earnings per Share.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchases will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purposes in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Shares may only be repurchased out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of repurchase. The premium, if any, payable on repurchases must have been provided for out of the profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased. The Company may not purchase Shares 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.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. GENERAL

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 Company's audited financial statements contained in the 2020 Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an 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. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised, to sell any Shares to the Group.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to sell any Shares to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

6. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

8. CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, 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.
