Chairman’s Statement

Dividends
As always, taking our shareholders’ interests as our top priority, the Board
of Directors has decided to recommend a 100% payout of the Group’s
distributable profits, excluding the gain from disposal of Guofurui, for
2015. This means a final dividend of HK 5.1 cents per share, which,
together with the interim dividend of HK 3.6 cents, will result in a total
dividend of HK 8.7 cents for 2015, higher than the total dividend for 2014
at HK 8.5 cents by 2.4%.
In addition to the proposed final dividend of HK 5.1 cents, we would also
like to recommend a special dividend of HK 2.9 cents per share from the
gain on disposal of our 25.17% stake in Guofurui at HK$12.0 million and
the Company’s surplus revenue reserve at HK$11.1 million as we have
no immediate need for these two amounts in the foreseeable future. This
will bring the total dividend per share for 2015 to HK 11.6 cents. The total
amount of dividend payable for 2015 represents 113.2% of the 2015
profit.
Acknowledgement
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Michael Wu, who retired
as Tradelink’s Chief Executive Officer at the end of August 2015, for his
enormous contribution made to the group during his six years’ leadership.
Also I look forward to Mr. K K Tse as Michael’s successor leading the
team to take the group to new heights in coming years.
Finally, as always, I would like to express my gratitude for the continued
support of our shareholders and my fellow Board members, and, last but
not least, the hard work of the staff during the past year.
