GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on July 26, 2017, general mandates were granted to the Directors to exercise all the powers of the Company to issue and repurchase Shares. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors wish to propose ordinary resolutions at the Annual General Meeting to give the Directors:

  • (i) a general mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution granting the Issue Mandate; subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorized to exercise the powers of the Company to issue a maximum of 1,969,014,107 Shares; and

  • (ii) a general mandate to repurchase Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate until the next annual general meeting of the Company or such earlier period as stated in the said ordinary resolution; subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorized to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase a maximum of 984,507,053 Shares.

A separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to add to the Issue Mandate those Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate granted to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting.

An explanatory statement containing information regarding the Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorized to exercise the powers of the Company to grant Share Awards in respect of a maximum number of 295,352,116 underlying new Shares.

With respect to the granting of the RSUs, the Company will, where applicable, comply with all the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules (including Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules).

Details relating to the Share Award Scheme are set out below.

Purpose of the Share Award Scheme

The Share Award Scheme constitutes a share award scheme governed by Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. The purpose of the Share Award Scheme is to enable the Company to grant Share Awards (which may take the form of an Option and/or an RSU) to eligible Participants as incentives and/or rewards for their contribution to the Group, to better reward the personnel who have contributed to the development and success of the Group, to incentivize them to remain with the Group, to motivate them to strive for the future development and expansion of the Group, and to attract skilled and experienced personnel for the further development and expansion of the Group by providing them with the opportunity to acquire equity interests in the Company.

Material terms of the Share Award Scheme

A summary of the principal terms of the Share Award Scheme, in respect of which the 2018 Share Award Mandate is being sought for granting Share Awards in the Applicable Period, was set out in the Company’s circular dated October 31, 2014.

The Share Award Scheme allows the Board to determine:

  • (i) the Participants to be granted Share Awards in its absolute discretion;

  • (ii) the terms on which each Share Award is granted, including as to the minimum period for which it must be held and any performance targets that must be reached before it can be exercised; and

  • (iii) the exercise price of the Share Awards (subject to the minimum exercise price prescribed by the rules of the Share Award Scheme).

The Directors confirmed that no changes have been made to the terms and provisions of the Share Award Scheme since its adoption at the special general meeting held on November 24, 2014.

The 2017 Share Award Mandate

Pursuant to the 2017 Share Award Mandate granted to the Board at the annual general meeting of the Company on July 26, 2017, the Board was authorized to grant awards of Options and/or RSUs pursuant to the Share Award Scheme in respect of 281,407,107 Shares, representing approximately 3 per cent. of the Company’s issued share capital as at

The 2018 Share Award Mandate

As set out on page 24 of this circular and in resolution no. 7 on the Notice of Annual General Meeting, a resolution has been proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant to the Directors the 2018 Share Award Mandate, being a mandate to grant Share Awards in respect of a maximum number of the underlying new Shares that is equivalent to 3 per cent.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing such mandate during the Applicable Period, and to allot, issue and deal with the Shares underlying the Options and/or RSUs granted pursuant to such mandate during the Applicable Period as and when such Options and/or RSUs vest. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding Options and/or RSUs granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Award Scheme will not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the 2018 Share Award Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorized to exercise the powers of the Company to grant Share Awards in respect of a maximum number of 295,352,116 underlying new Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, any Shares issued pursuant to the 2018 Share Award Mandate will not be counted towards the Shares to be issued (if any) pursuant to the general mandate proposed under resolution no. 4 in the Notice of Annual General Meeting. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Participant has been proposed or identified by the Board to be granted any Share Award under the 2018 Share Award Mandate. Shareholders who were also Participants under the Share Award Scheme would be required to abstain from voting on the 2018 Share Award Mandate at the Annual General Meeting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 299 grantees under the Share Award Scheme held 177,745,600 Shares (which represents approximately 1.81% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) upon exercising and vesting of the Options and the RSUs (as applicable). Such grantees include two Directors, namely Mr. Wang Lei and Mr. Kang Kai, holding 2,271,500 Shares and 74,000 Shares, respectively, as a result of the vesting of RSUs granted to him, and directors of the subsidiaries of the Company, holding 7,912,300 Shares in total as a result of the exercising and vesting of Options and RSUs (as applicable) granted to them. All such 299 grantees are required to abstain from voting on resolution no. 7 in relation to the 2018 Share Award Mandate. Except as disclosed herein and to the extent that the Directors are aware having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors and directors of the Company’s subsidiaries who are also Participants under the Share Award Scheme who have been granted any Share Awards, holds any Share.

Cost of Granting Share Awards

The cost attributable to the grant of any RSUs under the Share Award Scheme will be accounted for by reference to the market value of the Shares at the time of grant, adjusted to take into account the terms and conditions upon which Shares were granted. The Directors consider that it is not appropriate or helpful to the Shareholders to state the value of all Share Awards that can be granted under the Share Award Scheme or the 2018 Share Award Mandate being sought as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors believe that any statement regarding the value of all Share Awards as at the Latest Practicable Date will not be meaningful to the Shareholders, since the Share Awards to be granted shall not be assignable, and no holder of the Share Awards shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or create any interest in favor of any third party

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

over or in relation to any Share Award. In addition, the calculation of the value of the Share Awards is based on a number of variables such as exercise price, exercise period, interest rate, expected volatility and other relevant variables.

The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Share Awards as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a great number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful and would be misleading to the Shareholders. Details of the Share Award Scheme, including particulars and movements of the Share Awards granted, vested, lapsed and available for grant in the future, and the employee costs arising from the grant of the Share Awards during each financial year of the Company will be disclosed in the Company’s annual report and interim report. The Company will give due consideration to any financial impact arising from the grant of the Share Awards under the Share Award Scheme before exercising the 2018 Share Award Mandate.

Dilution Effect

The table below is for illustration only and sets out the shareholding structure of the Company:

  • (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (ii) immediately after the allotment and issue of all the new Shares underlying the Share Awards outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date upon vesting and exercising (as applicable) of such Share Awards in full, and assuming no other Shares will be issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the date until all such new Shares are issued (the ‘‘Full Vesting of Outstanding Share Awards Scenario’’); and

  • (iii) immediately after (a) the allotment and issue of all the new Shares underlying the Share Awards outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date upon vesting and/or exercising (as applicable) of such Share Awards in full, and (b) the allotment and issue of all new Shares underlying all the Share Awards that the Board remains authorized to grant under the 2017 Share Award Mandate and may be authorized to grant under the 2018 Share Award Mandate, upon vesting and/or exercising (as applicable) of such Share Awards in full, and assuming no other Shares will be issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the date until all such new Shares are issued (the ‘‘Full Vesting of Share Awards to be Granted Scenario’’).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendix to this circular. The English text of this circular shall prevail over the Chinese text for the purpose of interpretation.

By Order of the Board SHEN Difan Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director

APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix includes an explanatory statement required by the Share Repurchase Rules to be presented to the Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors.

1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to purchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed purchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be purchased must be fully paid up.

2. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Any repurchase will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Bye-Laws, the Companies Act, the laws of Bermuda and any other applicable laws.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 9,845,070,537 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 984,507,053 Shares.

4. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

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 repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or its earning per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the general mandate in full to repurchase Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase Shares in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the general mandate to repurchase Shares were to be exercised in full at the currently prevailing market value, it would have a material adverse impact on the working capital position and gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts of the Company as at March 31, 2018, being the date to which the latest published audited accounts of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to

– 18 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

repurchase Shares 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 OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Bermuda and in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company and the Bye-Laws.

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

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, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control (as defined in the Takeovers Code) of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full by the Directors, the Directors believe that such increase will not give rise to an obligation of any Shareholders to make a mandatory general offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that it will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25% under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No core connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/ her/it to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company in the preceding six months (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) ending on the Latest Practicable Date.
