CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the GEM Listing Rules in connection with the proposed general mandate for repurchases of Shares to be passed by the Shareholders by an ordinary resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

(1) REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on the 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.

(2) FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Directors wish to state that repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities and any repurchases will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purposes in accordance with its Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Company may not repurchase its own Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

(3) IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its latest published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an 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.

(4) EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was US$160,000,000 divided into 16,000,000,000 Shares, of which 4,526,925,163 Shares were in issue.

On the basis of 4,526,925,163 existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no Shares are repurchased or further issued before the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to 452,692,516 Shares which represent 10 per cent. of the 4,526,925,163 existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

(5) DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST

Rule 13.11(2) of the GEM Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly repurchasing its shares on GEM from a core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) and a core connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its shares to the company on GEM.

None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their respective close associates, have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders of the Company, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares.

(6) DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution, if granted, in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the regulations set out in the Articles of Association of the Company.

(7) SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No Shares was repurchased by the Company during the six months (whether on GEM or otherwise) preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

(8) TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If as a result of a repurchase 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 purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, 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 of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, CECEP(HK) holds 1,190,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 26.29% of the issued share capital of the Company. CECEP(HK) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CECEP, therefore CECEP is deemed to be interested in 1,190,000,000 shares that held by CECEP(HK). In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase Shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Mandate, CECEP(HK)’s proportionate interests in the voting rights of the Company would be increased to approximately 29.21% in aggregate and such increase would not trigger any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in this respect. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Assuming that there is no further issue of the Shares between the Latest Practicable

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Date and the date of repurchase, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not result in the level of shareholdings in the Company being held by the public below the minimum public float as required under the GEM Listing Rules.

(9) SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on GEM during each of the twelve months from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 and the period from 1 April 2021 up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
