This circular also provides the notice of AGM for the purpose of considering, and, if thought fit, passing, among others, the abovementioned resolutions.

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ALLOT AND ISSUE SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 8 January 2025, ordinary resolutions were passed by the then Shareholders granting the Directors the mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate amount of the issued share capital of the Company on 8 January 2025. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the existing issue mandate has not been utilised and will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares (including any sale or transfer of Treasury Shares out of treasury) not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares (excluding any Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing such resolution, amounting to 86,666,436 Shares, assuming that (1) no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of AGM; and (2) the Company does not have any Treasury Shares on the date of AGM.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to add to the Issue Mandate those Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).

The Issue Mandate will remain in effect until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Bye-laws, or any other applicable laws of Bermuda; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 8 January 2025, an ordinary resolution was passed by the then Shareholders granting the Directors the mandate to make Share repurchases (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code) of up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 8 January 2025. The existing repurchase mandate has not been utilised and will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to make Shares repurchase up to 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares (excluding any Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing such resolution, amounting to 43,333,218 Shares, assuming that (1) no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of AGM; and (2) the Company does not have any Treasury Shares on the date of AGM.

The Repurchase Mandate will remain in effect until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Bye-laws, or any applicable laws of Bermuda; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

4. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Listing Rules and Bye-Law 84 of the Bye-Laws, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office. Accordingly, Mr. Tiger Charles Chen and Ms. Cheung Yuk Ki will retire by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election.

Details of the above Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular. Separate resolutions will be proposed for the re-election of each Director.

The Nomination Committee is committed to ensuring the Board has a balance of skills, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of the Company's business and shall identify, consider and nominate suitable candidates to the Board for it to consider and make recommendations to Shareholders for election or re-election as the Directors at general meetings or appoint as Directors to fill casual vacancies or as an addition to the Board. The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board on re-election of all the retiring Directors.

For the purpose of ascertaining the entitlement of the Shareholders to attend and vote at the AGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 20 May 2025 to Friday, 23 May 2025 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM, all transfers of Shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates and transfer forms must be lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301–04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 19 May 2025.

7. VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39 of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll.

8. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the granting of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate and the proposed re-election of Directors are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend Shareholders to vote in favour of the proposed resolutions at the AGM.

9. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this circular and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement herein misleading.

10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board of

IDT International Limited

Tiger Charles Chen

Director


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules to be given to all Shareholders relating to the resolution to be proposed at the forthcoming AGM authorizing the Repurchase Mandate and to enable all Shareholders to make an informed decision whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was HK$259,999,308.6 comprising 433,332,181 Shares. The Company did not have any Treasury Shares. No Options remained outstanding and exercisable prior to the AGM.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and that no further Shares are issued or repurchased and no subscription rights of the Options are exercised prior to the AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would result in the repurchase by the Company of a maximum of 43,333,218 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding any Treasury Shares), during the period ending on the earliest of the date of the next annual general meeting following the AGM, the date by which the next annual general meeting following the AGM of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable laws of Bermuda to be held or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

If the Company repurchases Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the Company may (i) cancel the repurchased Shares and/or (ii) hold such Shares in treasury as Treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the capital management needs of the Company at the relevant time such repurchase of Shares are made. If the Company holds shares in treasury, any resale of Treasury Shares shall be made in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Notwithstanding that the Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares, the Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases 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 repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

When exercising the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors may, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchase, resolve to cancel the Shares repurchased following settlement of any such repurchase or hold them as Treasury Shares. Shares repurchased for cancellation may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per share and/or earnings per share. On the other hand, Shares repurchased and held by the Company as Treasury Shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, the Bye-Law(s) and applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda. Share repurchase will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws and all applicable laws of Bermuda.

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024 (being the date to which the latest audited financial statements of the Company were made up) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is carried out in full 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 requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

Subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, the Bye-Law(s) and the applicable laws of Bermuda, the Company may cancel any Shares it repurchased and/or hold them as Treasury Shares following settlement of the repurchases, subject to, amongst others, market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.

The Company may hold Shares repurchased by the Company as Treasury Shares which remain deposited with CCASS either (i) pending withdrawal from CCASS and registration in the name of the Company or (ii) re-deposited into CCASS and pending resale on the Stock Exchange. For any Shares repurchased by the Company as Treasury Shares which remain deposited with or have been re-deposited into CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, subject to the Directors' approval, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it would not exercise any Shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the relevant laws if those Shares are registered in the Company's own name as Treasury Shares. Such measures may include, for example, an approval from the Directors that (1) the Company shall not, and shall procure brokers not to, give instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (2) in the case of dividends or distributions (if any), the Company shall withdraw the Treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in the Company's own name as Treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions (as applicable).

Note: Trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange had been suspended from 9:00 a.m. on 3 April 2023 and has been resumed from 9:00 a.m. on 4 November 2024.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSON

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate in the event that such mandate is approved by Shareholders.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of its Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Bermuda, and Bye-laws.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, the following Shareholder(s) and its beneficial owner(s) have beneficial interests representing 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO.

Name Number of Shares held Before repurchase After repurchase
Tiger Charles Chen (“Mr. Chen”) (Note) 312,432,503 72.10% 80.11%
Wong Tung Yuen (“Mr. Wong”) (Note) 312,432,503 72.10% 80.11%
Tiger Energy Technology Company Limited (“Tiger Energy”) (Note) 312,432,503 72.10% 80.11%

Note: Tiger Energy is owned as to 50% by Mr. Chen, and owned as to 50% by Mr. Wong.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and given that the Repurchase Mandate has been approved by the Shareholders, the interests of the above Shareholders will be increased to approximately the respective percentage shown in the right column above. On the basis of the shareholding held by the Shareholders named above, exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not give rise to an obligation on the part of Tiger Energy and its parties acting in concert (within the meaning of Takeovers Code) to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but will reduce the amount of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the total number of issued Shares.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum public percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital of the company would be in public hands. The Directors do not have intention to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

8. SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six-month period immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

9. GENERAL

Neither this explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
