- 11 -

APPENDIX I PARTICULARS OF DIRECTORS PROPOSED FOR RE-ELECTION

On 5 April 2017, The Market Misconduct Tribunal ("MMT") fined Mayer and nine of the former senior executives of Mayer a total of HK$10.2 million after they were found to have failed to disclose inside information as soon as reasonably practicable as required under the SFO during the period between April 2012 and January 2013. The MMT found that Mayer breached the disclosure requirement pursuant to section 307B(1) of the SFO and that the relevant senior executives had not taken all reasonable measures to ensure that proper safeguards exist to prevent the breach of the disclosure requirements under section 307G(2) of the SFO (the "Mayer Incident").

Mr. Ng joined Mayer in October 2014 as part of a group of new directors nominated by certain shareholders of Mayer at the time to replace the previous directors. Mr. Ng was not involved in the above-mentioned MMT hearing or the Mayer Incident.

Taking into account that: (1) the Mayer Incident occurred between April 2012 and January 2013, more than one year prior to Mr. Ng joining Mayer;

  1. Mr. Ng is not one of the nine former senior executives who were involved in the Mayer Incident that breached the disclosure requirement pursuant to section 307B(1) of the SFO; and (3) as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Ng remains as a Certified Public Accountant (Practising) of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants as well as a Certified Practising Accountant of CPA Australia, and the relevant licenses have never been revoked or suspended by these professional bodies, the Directors and the Sole Sponsor to the Company of the listing of Shares on the Stock Exchange are of the view that in relation to the abovementioned Mayer Incident, there is nothing, which casts doubts on Mr. Ng's suitability to act as the Director under rules 3.08 and 3.09 of the Listing Rules.

Mr . Ng was the director of the following companies which were incorporated in Hong Kong and were deregistered pursuant to section 291AA of the Predecessor Companies Ordinance or section 751 of the Companies Ordinance which provides that a defunct, solvent company may be dissolved by way of deregistration.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
    The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate is in the 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 value 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.
  2. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
    In repurchasing the Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
    The Directors may not repurchase the 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. Subject to the foregoing, the Directors may make repurchases with profits of the Company or out of a new issuance of shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, out of capital.
  3. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING LEVEL
    An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company when compared with that as at 31 December 2020, being the date of the Company's latest published audited consolidated financial statements. 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.

  1. DIRECTORS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES
    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 our subsidiaries any of the Shares if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the 2021 AGM.
  2. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, no core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
    The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
  2. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE
    If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Company exercising its powers to buy-back Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a Mandatory General Offer.
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the public record, and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Ernest Chen, an executive Director, the chief executive officer of the Company and chairman of the Board, was beneficially interested in 314,000,000 Shares (held via Sanvo Fine Chemicals Limited, the entire issued share capital of which is solely and beneficially owned by Mr. Ernest Chen), representing approximately 73.45% of the total number of issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Ernest Chen would be increased to approximately 81.61% of the total number of the issued Shares. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation on the part of Sanvo Fine Chemicals Limited and parties acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) with it to make a Mandatory General Offer, however, the public float of the Company will not be maintained.
    The Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code that may result from any repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

- 18 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making a repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

11. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company did not redeem any of its Shares listed and traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange nor did the Company or any of our subsidiaries purchase any of such Shares since the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date.
