INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolution to be proposed at the Special General Meeting to enable you to make decisions on whether to vote for or against the resolution.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
At the Special General Meeting, a resolution, amongst others, will be proposed for the Shareholders to approve the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital.
PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
The Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$300,000,000 to HK$600,000,000 by the creation of an additional 3,000,000,000 Shares, all of which will rank pari passu with all existing Shares.
The existing authorised share capital of the Company is HK$300,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each, of which 2,344,818,660 Shares are in issue and 655,181,340 Shares are authorised but unissued as at the Latest Practicable Date. In addition, the Company has (i) 73,239,276 share options granted under the share option scheme of the Company remain outstanding; and (ii) preference shares in the outstanding principal amount of US$15,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$116,250,000) carrying the right to convert into up to 34,191,176 new Shares at the exercise price of HK$3.40 per Share, as at the Latest Practicable Date.
To provide the Company with greater flexibility to issue new Shares for, including but not limited to, consideration of potential acquisition opportunities, fund raising, exercise of share options and granting of award share in the future as and when appropriate, the Board proposes the Increase in Authorised Share Capital and is of the view that the Increase in Authorised Share Capital is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Upon the Increase in Authorised Share Capital becoming effective and assuming no Shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the Special General Meeting to be convened on 17 September 2020, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$600,000,000 divided into 6,000,000,000 Shares, with 2,344,818,660 Shares in issue and 3,655,181,340 Shares authorised but unissued.
The proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital is subject to the approval by the Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at the Special General Meeting.
RECOMMENDATIONS
At the Special General Meeting, the resolution will be proposed for the Shareholders to approve the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital.
Pursuant to the Listing Rules the voting on the proposed resolution at the Special General Meeting will be taken by way of a poll.
