EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
This explanatory statement, as required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, serves to provide the Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 2,768,055,408 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 276,805,540 Shares.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangement at the time, result in enhancement of the net assets value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors consider that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association, Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
As compared with the financial position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2016, there might have adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to make any repurchase to the extent that would have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirement or gearing level of the Company which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
4. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s voting right at the time, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
