EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant rules of the Listing Rules to provide requisite information for the Shareholders to consider the Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the entire issued share capital of the Company comprised 821,856,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 82,185,600 Shares (representing no more than 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution).

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the Listing Rules, the Companies Law and any other applicable laws. Such funds legally available for repurchasing Shares include:

  • (i) such funds made out of profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital; and

  • (ii) in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, such funds made out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

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 contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 August 2020 in the event that the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate was 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 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.

5. UNDERTAKING

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 Repurchase Resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

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 increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

– 10 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Wang Jinglei, being an executive Director, is deemed, or taken to be interested in an aggregate of 233,920,000 Shares held by controlled corporation, Act Glory, representing approximately 28.46% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and assuming that there is no change in the aggregate number of Shares controlled by Mr. Wang Jinglei and there is no other change to the issued share capital of the Company, the shareholding controlled by Mr. Wang Jinglei, in aggregate, will be increased to approximately 31.60%. Based on the information known to date, the Directors consider that such increase in the said shareholding would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code as a result of repurchase to be made in full under the Repurchase Mandate. Nevertheless, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, trigger any potential consequences under the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the previous six months up to the Latest Practicable Date.
