PROPOSED ISSUE OF HK$2,218,000,000 0.75 PER CENT. EXCHANGEABLE BONDS DUE 2028 BY THE COMPANY

The Board announces that on 25 September 2025 (before trading hours), the Company and the Joint Bookrunners have entered into the Subscription Agreement whereby, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the Joint Bookrunners have conditionally and severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agreed to subscribe or procure to subscribe and pay for the Bonds to be issued by the Company in an aggregate principal amount of HK$2,218,000,000. The issue price of the Bonds will be 103.00 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and the denomination of each Bond will be HK$2,000,000 and integral multiples thereof.

Holders of the Bonds are entitled to request the Company to deliver or procure the delivery of a pro rata share of the Exchange Property (as defined herein) upon exercise of their Exchange Right (as defined herein) in respect of their Bonds at the Initial Exchange Ratio (as defined herein), representing 752,870.32 Shoucheng Shares for each HK$2,000,000 in principal amount of the Bonds. The Shoucheng Shares comprising the initial Exchange Property represents approximately 10.0 per cent. of the issued share capital of Shoucheng as at the date of this announcement and close to all of the Group's entire holding in Shoucheng held through RPL.

It is intended the Bonds will be listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange. An application will be made to the Vienna Stock Exchange for the listing of the Bonds.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ISSUE OF THE BONDS

The Group has been consistently diversifying its funding sources and optimising its business portfolio to enhance long-term value creation for the Shareholders. Through the Issuance, the Company is able to raise financing on attractive terms and the Issuance will also allow the Company to capitalise on the current favourable market conditions to further refine and strengthen its business portfolio by divesting its stake in Shoucheng at a premium if the Exchange Rights underlying the Bonds are exercised by the Bondholders.

The Company considers the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Bonds are fair and reasonable on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Net Proceeds will be approximately HK$2.25 billion. The Company currently intends to use the Net Proceeds from the Issuance for general corporate purposes to be determined on an on-going basis, including approximately 50% intended for investing into resilient, cash generative and growth segments aligned with the Group's priorities if and when such opportunities arise.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The right of the Bondholders to exercise the Exchange Right of the Bonds essentially involves the grant of an option by the Company to the Bondholders to acquire the Group's holding in the Shoucheng Shares. Pursuant to Rule 14.73 of the Listing Rules, such grant of option will be treated as a transaction under the Listing Rules and classified by reference to the percentage ratios.

Pursuant to the terms of the Bonds, the discretion to exchange the Bonds for the Shoucheng Shares will remain with the holder of the Bonds (and not the Company). Accordingly, under Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules, on the grant of the option, the transaction will be classified as if the option had been exercised and the premium and the Initial Exchange Price will be taken into consideration for calculating the percentage ratios.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Issuance exceeds 5% but all of them are under 25%, the Issuance constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules, and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of the stock lending arrangement with respect to certain Shoucheng Shares as contemplated under the Stock Borrowing and Lending Agreement is to facilitate the Issuance. It is considered as ancillary to, and part and parcel of, the Issuance and hence does not constitute a separate transaction under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The subscription for and issuance of the Bonds are subject to the satisfaction and/or waiver of the conditions precedent contained in the Subscription Agreement. In addition, the Subscription Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances. Please refer to the section headed "The Subscription Agreement" below for further information.

As the Issuance may or may not complete, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

PROPOSED ISSUE OF HK$2,218,000,000 0.75 PER CENT. EXCHANGEABLE BONDS DUE 2028

The Board announces that on 25 September 2025 (before trading hours), the Company and the Joint Bookrunners have entered into the Subscription Agreement whereby, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the Joint Bookrunners have conditionally and severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agreed to subscribe or procure to subscribe and pay for the Bonds to be issued by the Company in an aggregate principal amount of HK$2,218,000,000. The issue price of the Bonds shall be 103.00 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and the denomination of each Bond shall be HK$2,000,000 and integral multiples thereof. It is intended that the Bonds will be listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange.


Holders of the Bonds are entitled to request the Company to deliver or procure the delivery of a pro rata share of the Exchange Property upon exercise of their Exchange Right in respect of their Bonds. On the exercise of Exchange Rights, Bondholders will initially be entitled to receive 752,870.32 Shoucheng Shares for each HK$2,000,000 principal amount of Bonds (the “Initial Exchange Ratio”) (subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bonds). The Exchange Property will initially comprise 834,933,183 Shoucheng Shares, subject to further adjustment upon occurrence of certain events enumerated in the terms and conditions of the Bonds. The Shoucheng Shares comprising the Exchange Property represents approximately 10.0 per cent. of the issued share capital of Shoucheng as at the date of this announcement and close to all of the Group’s entire holding in Shoucheng through RPL.

13

SECURITIES LENDING ARRANGEMENT

Certain holders or potential holders of the Bonds may establish a short position with respect to the Shoucheng Shares for the purpose of hedging their investment in the Bonds. In order to facilitate those holders of the Bonds in establishing such short positions, concurrent with the Issuance, UBS AG, London Branch (the “Borrower”) as borrower and custodian has entered into the Stock Borrowing and Lending Agreement with RPL as lender (the “Lender”), to allow the Lender to provide stock lending to the Borrower of a maximum of 300,000,000 Shoucheng Shares upon and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Stock Borrowing and Lending Agreement. RPL will receive a lending fee equivalent to the rate of 0.5 per cent. per annum to the daily market value of the relevant loaned Shoucheng Shares.

INITIAL EXCHANGE PRICE

The Initial Exchange Price of HK$2.6565 per Shoucheng Share represents:

(i) a premium of approximately 5.00% over the Closing Price of HK$2.530 per Shoucheng Share as quoted on 24 September 2025;

(ii) a premium of approximately 5.42% over the average Closing Price of approximately HK$2.520 per Shoucheng Share as quoted for the five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including 24 September 2025; and

(iii) a premium of approximately 9.86% over the average Closing Price of HK$2.418 per Shoucheng Share as quoted for the last ten (10) consecutive trading days up to and including 24 September 2025.

The Initial Exchange Price was determined with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shoucheng Shares and the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement and was negotiated on an arm’s length basis between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners through a book building exercise.

No fraction of a Relevant Security or any other property comprised in the Exchange Property which is not divisible shall be delivered on exercise of the Exchange Rights and the Company shall not be under any obligation to make any payment to Bondholders in respect of any such fractions and any such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of a Relevant Security or unit of any such other property.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds will be HK$2,218,000,000. The Net Proceeds will be approximately HK$2.25 billion. The Company currently intends to use the Net Proceeds from the Issuance for general corporate purposes to be determined on an on-going basis, including approximately 50% intended for investing into resilient, cash generative and growth segments aligned with the Group’s priorities if and when such opportunities arise.


14

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ISSUE OF THE BONDS

The Group has been consistently diversifying its funding sources and optimising its business portfolio to enhance long-term value creation for the Shareholders. Through the Issuance, the Company is able to raise financing on attractive terms and the Issuance will also allow the Company to capitalise on the current favourable market conditions to further refine and strengthen its business portfolio by divesting its stake in Shoucheng at a premium if the Exchange Rights underlying the Bonds are exercised by the Bondholders.

The Company considers the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Bonds are fair and reasonable on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.

15

INFORMATION OF SHOUCHENG

Shoucheng is a company listed on the Stock Exchange (stock code: 00697) and is principally engaged in infrastructure assets management. As at the date of this announcement, RPL holds 835,485,105 Shoucheng Shares.

Based on the audited financial statements of Shoucheng published in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, the key financial information of Shoucheng for its two financial years ended 31 December 2023 and 2024 are as follows:

For the financial year ended 31 December
2023 2024
HK$'000 HK$'000
Profit before income tax 466,451 474,101
Profit for the year 459,545 388,520

The audited net asset value of Shoucheng as of 31 December 2024 was approximately HK$9,516 million.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE POSSIBLE DISPOSAL OF SHOUCHENG SHARES

As of the date of this announcement, the Group holds approximately 10.0 per cent. of the total issued shares in Shoucheng, which was accounted for as an associated company of the Group. Pursuant to the terms of the Bonds, the Group may dispose up to 834,933,183 Shoucheng Shares, which represents close to all of its entire shareholding in Shoucheng, if the Exchange Rights underlying the entirety of the Bonds are fully exercised by the Bondholders, with the Bonds being exchangeable into the Shoucheng Shares.

Assuming that the Group's 834,933,183 Shoucheng Shares will be disposed of upon full exchange of the Bonds, subject to audit, it is expected that the Group will recognise a disposal gain (before taxation) of approximately HK$1.16 billion, which represents the difference between the Net Proceeds from the Issuance, the carrying value of the Group's interest in the 834,933,183 Shoucheng Shares and related release of reserves as at 30 June 2025, to be recognised upon the exercise of associated Exchange Rights, over the Exchange Period. The cumulative actual financial impact is subject to, among others, the carrying value of the Group's shareholding in the Shoucheng Shares as of the actual time of disposal of the relevant Shoucheng Shares. The above financial effects from the possible disposal of Shoucheng Shares in the case of the exchange of the Bonds is subject to the review of the Company's auditor and is not necessarily indicative of the Group's results of the upcoming financial periods.


LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The right of the Bondholders to exercise the Exchange Right of the Bonds essentially involves the grant of an option by the Company to the Bondholders to acquire the Group's holding in the Shoucheng Shares. Pursuant to Rule 14.73 of the Listing Rules, such grant of option will be treated as a transaction under the Listing Rules and classified by reference to the percentage ratios.

Pursuant to the terms of the Bonds, the discretion to exchange the Bonds for the Shoucheng Shares will remain with the holder of the Bonds (and not the Company). Accordingly, under Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules, on the grant of the option, the transaction will be classified as if the option had been exercised and the premium and the Initial Exchange Price will be taken into consideration for calculating the percentage ratios.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Issuance exceeds 5% but all of them are under 25%, the Issuance constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules, and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of the stock lending arrangement with respect to certain Shoucheng Shares as contemplated under the Stock Borrowing and Lending Agreement is to facilitate the Issuance. It is considered as ancillary to, and part and parcel of, the Issuance and hence does not constitute a separate transaction under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Mr. Ho Gilbert Chi Hang, a Director, is also a director of Shoucheng and has abstained from voting on the resolutions approving the Issuance at the Board meeting.

The subscription for and issuance of the Bonds is subject to the satisfaction and/or waiver of the conditions precedent contained in the Subscription Agreement. In addition, the Subscription Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances. Please refer to the section headed "The Subscription Agreement" above for further information.

As the Issuance may or may not complete, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
