EXPLANATORY STATEMENTS FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This is an explanatory statement given to the Shareholders relating to the resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorising the Buy-back Mandate.

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1) (b) of the Listing Rules, which is set out as follows:

1. EXERCISE OF THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,725,066,689. Subject to the passing of the resolution in relation to the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back by the Company prior to the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which can be bought back under the Buy-back Mandate will be up to a maximum of 172,506,668 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the said resolution) during the period from the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Buy-back Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is earlier.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUYBACK

The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such share buyback 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 earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUYBACK

In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company is empowered by its Articles of Association to buyback its Shares. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the capital portion payable on a share buyback by the Company may be paid out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of the share buyback or, subject to

— I-1 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENTS FOR

APPENDIX I

THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

the Companies Law, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on a share buyback, such premium may be paid out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

4. GENERAL

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2018) in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is exercised in full at the current prevailing market value. However, 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 requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENTS FOR

APPENDIX I

THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert (as interpreted according to the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of the increase of the shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) 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 Directors, Mr. Yan Zhi (“ Mr. Yan ”), the controlling shareholder of the Company and who through Zall Holdings Company Limited and Zall Infrastructure Investments Company Limited, was interested in an aggregate of 1,290,451,130 Shares, representing approximately 74.81% of the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Buy-back Mandate in full, then (if the present shareholdings otherwise remained the same) the shareholdings of Mr. Yan in the Company would be increased to an aggregate of approximately 83.12% of the issued share capital of the Company. To the best knowledge of the Directors, such increases would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but would result in the public shareholding in the Company to be less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange). The Directors would not exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as may result in public shareholding of the Company to fall below 25%. The Directors are also not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any share buyback pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate.

7. SHARE BUYBACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the previous six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not bought back any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
