As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an aggregate of 2,754,070,918 Shares in issue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to article 86(3) of the Articles, any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election.

According to articles 87(1) and 87(2) of the Articles, at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) who have been longest in office shall retire from office by rotation, provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires.

In accordance with article 86(3) of the Articles, Ms. Wong Lok Lam (“ Ms. Wong ”) shall retire from office at the AGM, and in accordance with articles 87(1) and 87(2) of the Articles, Mr. Zhang Yue Jun (“ Mr. Zhang ”), Mr. Xu Huijun (“ Mr. Xu ”), Ms. Huo Xinru (“ Ms. Huo ”), Mr. Lau Siu Ki, Kevin (“ Mr. Lau ”), Dr. Lin Jin Tong (“ Dr. Lin ”) and Ms. Ng Yi Kum (“ Ms. Ng ”) shall retire from office by rotation at the AGM. Being eligible, each of Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu and Ms. Huo will offer himself/herself for re-election as executive Director and each of Mr. Lau, Dr. Lin, Ms. Ng and Ms. Wong will offer himself/herself for re-election as independent non-executive Director.

Biographical information (including but not limited to their respective perspectives, skills and experience) of Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu, Ms. Huo, Mr. Lau, Dr. Lin, Ms. Ng and Ms. Wong, being the Directors eligible for re-election at the AGM, that are required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

During 2020, the nomination committee of the Company reviewed the structure, size and diversity of the Board to ensure that its composition complies with the requirements of the Listing Rules and reflects an appropriate mix of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity that are relevant to the Company’s strategy, governance and business and contribute to the Board’s effectiveness and efficiency. Given that each of the Directors eligible for re-election at the AGM has different background and expertise and brings his/her valuable experience to the Board, the Board considers that each of them contributes to the diversity of the Board.

Each of Mr. Lau, Dr. Lin, Ms. Ng and Ms. Wong, being an independent non-executive Director eligible for re-election at the AGM, has provided an annual written confirmation of independence, having regard to the independence guidelines under rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Lau has served as independent non-executive Director for more than nine years and Dr. Lin has served as independent non-executive Director under nine years as at the Latest Practicable Date and will have served more than nine years on the date of the AGM. In view of the professional qualifications and extensive experience of Mr. Lau and Dr. Lin in the financial advisory field and telecommunication field respectively, the Board believes that they are capable of providing constructive contributions in relation to the Company’s affairs.

Throughout their respective directorship with the Company, each of Mr. Lau and Dr. Lin has participated in Board meetings and Board committees meetings to offer impartial advice and exercise independent judgment, and has attended general meetings of the Company to gain a balanced understanding of the Shareholders’ views. Both Mr. Lau and Dr. Lin have never engaged in any executive management of the Group. Taking into consideration the independent nature of their roles and duties in the past years, the Board considers both Mr. Lau and Dr. Lin to be independent under the Listing Rules despite their years of services with the Company. The Board believes that the continuous appointment of Mr. Lau and Dr. Lin as independent non-executive Director will help to maintain the stability of the Board as each of Mr. Lau and Dr. Lin has, over time, gained valuable insight into the business strategy and policies of the Group.

The nomination committee of the Company has assessed their independence and is satisfied, and the Board is of the view that each of Mr. Lau, Dr. Lin, Ms. Ng and Ms. Wong is independent.

Dr. Lin and Ms. Wong currently do not hold directorships in seven or more listed companies. Mr. Lau and Ms. Ng are currently holding directorships in six other companies listed on the Stock Exchange, their re-election as an independent non-executive Director in the AGM will be considered as holding directorship in the seventh listed company.

During the tenure of Mr. Lau and Ms. Ng in acting as an independent non-executive Director, they have devoted significant time and efforts in attending to various business affairs of the Company that were brought to the attention, or required supervision of the Board and/or the committees of the Company, and with respect to which they have rendered valuable contributions.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly repurchasing its securities on the Stock Exchange from a core connected person, which includes, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective close associates and a core connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its securities in the company back to the company.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors consider that a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s cash flow or working capital facilities, which will be funds legally available for such purpose under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles.

– 10 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with those as at 31 December 2020, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

8. TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate the control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in a requirement of the above Shareholders, or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
