LETTER FROM THE BOARD
GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES
At annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 August 2016, ordinary resolutions were passed by the Shareholders giving general and unconditional mandates to the Directors to issue and allot Shares and to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase its own Shares in accordance with the Listing Rules. These general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew such general mandates at the AGM and the following Ordinary Resolutions will be proposed at the AGM:

-
(ii) to grant the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the relevant Ordinary Resolutions (“ Repurchase Mandate ”); and
-
(iii) to extend the Issue Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate (“ Extension Mandate ”).
As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 1,455,000,000 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Issue Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued and/or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed to issue a maximum of 291,000,000 Shares representing 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM.
The Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company after the date of passing the relevant resolutions or any earlier date as referred to in resolutions numbered 5, 6 and 7 set out in the AGM Notice. In accordance with the Listing Rules, and in particular the rules regulating repurchase of shares on the Stock Exchange, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant the Repurchase Mandate.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their own shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the Ordinary Resolutions in relation to the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,455,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant Ordinary Resolutions to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued, and no Shares are repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to purchase a maximum of 145,500,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company.
2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the grant of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as it will give the Company additional flexibility. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the value of the Company’s securities and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
3. FUNDING AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. The Directors presently proposed that any Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of the capital paid up on the purchased Shares or out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose.
The Company is empowered by the memorandum of association of the Company and the Bye-laws to repurchase its Shares.
There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the nine months ended 31 December 2016) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the

Repurchase Mandate 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.
