EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX
LISTING RULES
The Listing Rules permit listed companies to repurchase their own shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which their shares may be listed and which is recognized by the SFC and the Stock Exchange for such purpose, subject to certain restrictions. This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Buyback Rules to be sent to Shareholders in connection with the proposed grant of the Repurchase Mandate, to provide the requisite information to Shareholders for their consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.
EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Whilst the Directors do not presently intend to repurchase any Shares immediately, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate granted to them if the Ordinary Resolution set out as Ordinary Resolution no. 5 of the AGM Notice is passed would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. It is proposed that up to 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate may be repurchased. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 737,559,124 Shares were issued and outstanding. On the basis of such figures, the Directors would be authorized to repurchase up to 73,755,912 Shares during the period up to the date of the next annual general meeting in 2015, or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable law to be held, or the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company, whichever of these three events occurs first.
REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share.
FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection in accordance with its memorandum of association, the Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not repurchase its own Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.
— 10 —
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2013) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. 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 requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
None of the Directors, and to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
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, nor have they undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.
DIRECTORS’ 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 Company’s memorandum of association, the Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increases 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 (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of its or their shareholding, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are aware of the consequences arising under the Takeovers Code of any repurchase.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Zhang Wei, the Chairman of the Company and a controlling Shareholder, was recorded in the register required to be kept by the Company under sections 336 and 352 of the SFO as having an interest in 256,572,474 Shares, representing approximately 34.79% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as at that date. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and assuming that there is no change in the number of Shares held directly or indirectly by Mr. Zhang Wei, the interest of Mr. Zhang Wei in the Company will be increased to approximately 38.65% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately after the exercise in
— 11 —
APPENDIX
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
full of the Repurchase Mandate. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase Shares to an extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. In addition, in exercising the Repurchase Mandate (whether in full or otherwise), the Directors will ensure that the Company shall comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules, including the minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands.
MARKET PRICES
The monthly highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during the period from the Listing Date to the Latest Practicable Date were:
| Traded Market Price | Traded Market Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2013 | ||
| November (from the Listing Date to 30 November) | 6.97 | 5.51 |
| December | 8.18 | 6.17 |

| January | 14.88 | 7.68 |
| February | 15.16 | 10.72 |
| March (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) | 13.48 | 11.30 |
EXTENSION OF SHARE ISSUE MANDATE
A resolution as set out in Ordinary Resolution no. 7 of the AGM Notice will also be proposed at the AGM authorizing the Directors to increase the maximum number of new Shares which may be issued under the general mandate for the issuance and allotment of Shares by adding to it the nominal amount of any Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
