APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The explanatory statement contains all the information required to be given to the Shareholders pursuant to the requirement of Listing Rules. The purpose of this explanatory statement is to provide the Shareholders with all information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision as to whether to pass the resolution approving the Proposed Repurchase Mandate at the AGM.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,037,500,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 103,750,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at AGM.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchase would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be under the applicable law and regulations of the Cayman Islands, and the Listing Rules and the Articles for such purpose.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
6. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles.
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved at the AGM.
As at Latest Practicable Date, no connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE
If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Brewster Global is interested in 529,125,000 Shares (representing approximately 51.00% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) (Mr. Lim is a sole shareholder and a sole director of Brewster Global, in pursuant to SFO, Mr. Lim deemed to be interest in the Company and to be a controlling shareholder of the Company). In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, then (if the present shareholdings remains the same) the attributable interests of Brewster Global (Mr. Lim) would be increased to approximately 56.67% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors believe that such an increase will not give rise to an obligation of Brewster Global (Mr. Lim) to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code whilst maintaining the Shares held by the public no less than 25%.
– 11 –
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Save as disclosed above, the Directors are currently not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate. Nevertheless, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, trigger any potential consequences under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes. In the event, the Repurchase Mandate will be exercised only if the number of Shares held by public would not fall below 25% following such exercise.
8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
