EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules and the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide the requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration of the proposal to permit the granting of the general mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 426,463,400 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions numbered 5, 6 and 7 as set out in the notice of the AGM on pages 11 to 14 of this circular and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 42,646,340 Shares during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remain in force.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
3. DIRECTORS’ DEALING AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, or any of their associates have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, to sell of their Shares to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
No Core Connected Persons or their respective associates have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell their Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so in the event that the Company is authorized to make repurchase of the Shares.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases must be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities, which will be funded by resources legally available for that purpose in accordance with the Company’s Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. The Company is empowered by its memorandum of its association and Bye-Laws to repurchase its Shares. Bermuda law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the relevant shares or funds that would otherwise available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of funds that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium accounts of the Company.
- 8 -
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
In the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the period which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital but possibly not the gearing position of the Company as compared to the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2017 (being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up). The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.
5. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the 12 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| **PER ** | SHARE | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2017 | ||
| April | 1.52 | 1.13 |
| May | 1.20 | 1.07 |
| June | 1.13 | 0.92 |
| July | 1.23 | 0.95 |
| August | 1.27 | 1.02 |
| September | 2.07 | 1.23 |
| October | 2.04 | 1.66 |
| November | 1.78 | 1.51 |
| December | 1.74 | 1.51 |
| 2018 | ||
| January | 1.65 | 1.54 |
| February | 1.59 | 1.43 |
| March | 1.56 | 1.45 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 1.46 | 1.39 |
6. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the applicable Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda.
- 9 -
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
7. HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS
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 purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interests, may obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which could arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Lam Kwok Hing, which is the controlling shareholder of the Company, held approximately 63.55% of the Shares issued by the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any consequences for Mr. Lam Kwok Hing under the Takeovers Code as a result, solely, of the Directors exercising the Repurchase Mandate in full. However, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the amount of Shares held by Mr. Lam Kwok Hing will increase to approximately 70.61% of the total issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares to such an extent which will result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares have been repurchased by the Company.
