EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix includes an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be presented to the Shareholders concerning the Buy-back Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors.
1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR BUY-BACKS OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The Listing Rules provide that all proposed buy-backs of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be bought back must be fully paid up.
2. FUNDING AND IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACKS
Any share buy-back will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2016 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed buy-backs were to be carried out in full during the proposed buy-back period.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
3. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACKS
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy back Shares on the market. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earning per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-backs will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
4. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,609,045,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Buy-back Mandate to buy back Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the power of the Company to buy back a maximum of 159,617,900 Shares, being 10% of the total number of the issued Share as at the date of the AGM.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as that term is defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar the Directors are aware of, Ms. Ren Wen was interested in 694,321,000 Shares (approximately 43.15% of the issued share capital of the Company). In the event that the Buy-back Mandate was exercised in full, the interest of Ms. Ren Wen in the Company would be increased from approximately 43.15% to approximately 47.95% (before taking into account of the cancellation of Shares bought back by the Company as set out below). To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase in the interests in the Company would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the power to buy back Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As the exercise of the Buy-back Mandate may result in insufficient public float of the Company, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such an extent that results in a public shareholding of less than the minimum public float requirement of 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company.
7. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Buy-back Mandate is granted, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make buy back of Shares.
