In addition, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the extension of the Issue Mandate by adding to the aggregate number of Shares which may be allotted and issued (including any sale or transfer of Shares out of treasury that are held as treasury Shares) or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted and issued (including any sale or transfer of Shares out of treasury that are held as treasury Shares) by the Directors pursuant to the Issue Mandate the number of Shares purchased under the Repurchase Mandate (refer to section 2 below), if granted.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX 1

This Explanatory Statement includes information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

(I) LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

(II) SHAREHOLDER’S APPROVAL

The Listing Rules provide that all on-market share repurchases by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by specific approval of a particular transaction or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchases and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

(III) EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,778,144,841 Shares in issue (with no treasury Shares). Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution 7 set out in the notice of the AGM in respect of approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased prior to the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 177,814,484 Shares, representing 10% of the then number of total issued Shares.

(IV) REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases may, depending on the circumstances, result in an increase in net asset value and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking in the grant of Repurchase Mandate to give the Company flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The timing and the number(s) of Shares, the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then prevailing.

(V) SOURCE OF FUNDS

Repurchases must be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX 1

Under the Companies Act, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of the reserves of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, out of capital.

There could be adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group contained in the Annual Report) in the event that the proposed Share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time 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 of the Company or its gearing level.

(VI) SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Share prices
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2025

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX 1

(VII) 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. The Directors have also undertaken not to repurchase any Shares if there is less than a minimum of 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company in public hands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associate(s) (as defined in the Listing Rules), currently intends to sell the Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell the Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares.

The Directors have confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed Share repurchase has any unusual features.

In the event the Company conducts a repurchase of Shares, the Company may cancel such repurchased Shares or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group’s capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchase.

For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings of the Company for the treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, withdraw the treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions, or take any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any Shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury Shares.

(VIII) TAKEOVERS CODE

Pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code, if as a result of a Share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code and may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for the Shares under Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, nothing has come to the attention of the Directors that there will be any consequences arising under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.
