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 2017 (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 buybacks 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 1,592,942,000 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 159,294,200 Shares, being 10% of the total number of the issued Share as at the date of the AGM.
- 7 -
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
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.
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, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the following Shareholders had interests representing 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:
| Approximate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| percentage of | ||||
| shareholding | ||||
| Approximate | interest if the | |||

| Limited | ||||
| Lucky Go Co., Ltd. | Beneficial owner | 81,541,000 | 5.12% | 5.69% |
Note: Queen Media Co., Ltd. is owned by Sky Limited, which is the trust asset of the SKY Trust founded by Ms. Ren Wen as settlor and managed by Credit Suisse Trust Limited as trustee. The discretionary beneficiaries of the SKY Trust include Ms. Ren Wen and her family members. Ms. Ren Wen holds approximately 73.48% equity interest in Lucky Go Co., Ltd. and she is deemed or taken to be interested in all the Shares held by Lucky Go Co., Ltd. for the purpose of the SFO.
- 8 -
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
On the basis that no Shares are allotted and issued or bought back from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the increase of Ms. Ren Wen’s interest in the Company would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Buy-back Mandate was exercised in full.
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.
The Directors will not buy back the Shares on the Stock Exchange if the buy-back will result in the number of the listed securities which are in the hands of the public falling below 25%, being the relevant minimum prescribed percentage for the Company as required by the Stock Exchange.
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.
8. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company did not buy back any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
