APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide Shareholders with the requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 869,353,674 Shares.

Subject to the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back on or before the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy up to a maximum of 86,935,367 Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any).

Under the old Listing Rules, the Company is required to cancel any Shares bought back by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after such buy-back. With effect from 11 June 2024, the Listing Rules have been amended to remove the requirement to cancel bought-back Shares and to adopt a framework to govern the resale of treasury shares. In light of the changes to the Listing Rules, where the Company has bought back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Company will either cancel the Shares bought back and/or hold such Shares in treasury, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time of each Share buy-back of Shares are made. If the Company holds any Shares in treasury, any sale or transfer of Shares held in treasury will be subject to the terms of the Share Issue Mandate and will be made in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable Bermuda laws and regulations.

To the extent that any treasury shares are deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it does not exercise any Shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in the Company's own name as treasury shares. These measures may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company will not (or will procure its broker not to) give any instructions to HKSCC Nominees to vote at general meetings of the Company for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will withdraw the treasury shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.

REASON FOR BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy back Shares, inter alia, on-market in accordance with the Listing Rules. Such buy-back may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

Pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, buy-back would be funded entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

There might be a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company upon full exercise of the Shares Buy-back Mandate at any time during the proposed buy-back period as compared with the position disclosed in the most recent published audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing ratio of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a share buy-back, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 592,220,206 Shares representing approximately 68.12% of the issued Shares are owned by Xin Hua, which, in turn, is owned as to 46.28% by Mr. Yu Zhibo, being an executive Director and chairman of the Board. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Yu Zhibo is deemed to be interested in 592,220,206 Shares held by Xin Hua.

Assuming Xin Hua's shareholding remains unchanged, full exercise by the Directors of the Share Buy-back Mandate would result in an increase of the interest of Xin Hua to approximately 75.69% of the reduced issued Shares. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but would reduce the number of Shares held by the public to less than 25%. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power of the Company to buy-back Shares to such an extent as would trigger the Takeovers Code or result in the number of Shares in public hands falling below 25% of the Company's total number of issued Shares (after deducting treasury shares, if any).

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which could arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any buy-back pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

BUY-BACK BY THE COMPANY

No buy-backs of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

  • The trading in the Shares had been suspended from 9:00 a.m. on 2 September 2024 until the resumption of trading from 9:00 a.m. on 2 October 2024. As such, no reference is made to the Shares quoted on the Stock Exchange during the month.

GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates, have any present intention, if the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that if the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders, he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so.

The Directors confirm that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Bermuda and the Bye-laws.

The Company confirms that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate has any unusual features.
