CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

Shareholders’ Approval

The GEM Listing Rules provide that all repurchase of securities by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transactions.

Share Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 355,360,000 Shares were in issue and fully paid.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and repurchased prior to the 2022 AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 35,536,000 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the Shares in issue.

Reasons for Repurchase

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

Funding of Repurchase

Any repurchase will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purpose of making the proposed purchases in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Effect of Exercising the Repurchase Mandate

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 for the year ended 31 December 2021) in the event that the repurchase of Shares 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 of Shares to such 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.

– 8 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Directors and Core Connected Persons

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective associates have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Share to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No Core Connected Persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

Directors’ Undertaking

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

Effect of 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 (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interest of our Shareholders, could obtain or consolidate control of our Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory general offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code and, accordingly, it is not anticipated that purchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate will give rise to any consequences under the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate.

– 9 –
