The Increase in Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM.

The Company proposes to undertake the Increase in Authorised Share Capital in order to provide it with flexibility for fund raising by allotting and issuing new Shares in the future as and when appropriate for future investment opportunities and other corporate purposes.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 6,225,125,683 Shares were in issue and there were outstanding convertible bonds carrying rights to convert into an aggregate of 1,111,000,000 Shares. Immediately after the completion of the Increase in Authorised Share Capital and assuming no new Shares are issued or no Shares are repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the EGM, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$1,600,000,000 divided into 16,000,000,000 Shares, with 6,225,125,683 Shares in issue and 9,774,874,317 Shares remaining unissued.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 99 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Zeng Jixiang, Mr. Yu Zicong and Mr. Liu Tao shall retire at the EGM and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the EGM.

The nomination committee of the Company has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company’s board diversity policy, the nomination policy and the independence of the independent nonexecutive Director. The nomination committee of the Company has recommended to the Board on re-election of Mr. Zeng Jixiang, Mr. Yu Zicong and Mr. Liu Tao as Directors who are due to retire at the EGM. The Company considers that the retiring independent non-executive Director is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules and will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity.
