EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide information to Shareholders regarding the Repurchase Mandate as referred to in the section headed “Repurchase Mandate” on page 4 of this circular.

SHARE CAPITAL

The shares proposed to be repurchased by a company must be fully paid-up. A maximum of 10% of the existing issued share capital as at the date of passing the relevant resolution may be repurchased on the Stock Exchange.

It is proposed that up to 10% of the Shares in issue at the date of passing the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate may be repurchased. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of share in issue was 8,429,674,965 Shares. On the basis of such number (assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing such resolution), the Directors would be authorised to repurchase a maximum of 842,967,496 Shares.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the ability to repurchase shares is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases of shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per share. The Directors are seeking the approval for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase shares to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number(s) of shares to be repurchased, the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased, and whether shares are to be repurchased on any occasion will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the factors and circumstances then pertaining.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the capital paid up on the shares being repurchased or from the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purposes of the repurchase, and in the case of any premium payable on such repurchase, funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or from the Company’s share premium account before the repurchase, being funds legally available for this purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and the Bye-laws and the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda.

— 12 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

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 audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2019 contained in the 2019 annual report) if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate 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.

PRICES OF THE SHARES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

	Highest	Lowest
	HK$	HK$
2019
April	0.400	0.355
May	0.370	0.335
June	0.380	0.350

UNDERTAKING

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates, presently intend to sell any shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders and exercised.

— 13 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

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 proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable law of Bermuda and the Bye-laws.

No other connected persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders and exercised.

TAKEOvERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company will increase, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Liu Shunxing (“ Mr. Liu ”) is interested and is deemed to be interested in an aggregate of approximately 22.21% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares in full pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the percentage of holding in the Shares by Mr. Liu would be increased to approximately 24.68%. Such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in any takeover obligation of any party.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in the number of Shares held by the public falling below 25% of total number of Shares in issue.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
