LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ISSUANCE MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

In order to ensure greater flexibility and give discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to issue new Shares, approval is to be sought for the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for the Issuance Mandate to issue Shares. An ordinary resolution numbered 4(A) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant to the Directors the Issuance Mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new shares in the share capital of the Company up to 20 per cent of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the passing of the resolution in relation to the Issuance mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,300,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the above ordinary resolution and on the basis that there is no change in the number of the issued shares during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, the maximum number of Shares which may be allotted, issued and otherwise deal with pursuant to the Issuance Mandate will be 460,000,000 Shares, being 20 per cent of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution to approve the Issuance Mandate.

The Issuance Mandate will expire at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the Annual General Meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by the ordinary resolutions passed by the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

REPURCHASE MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

In addition, an ordinary resolution numbered 4(B) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase issued Shares representing up to 10 per cent of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the passing of the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company didn’t repurchase any issued Shares of our Company. Assuming that there is no change in the number of the issued Shares during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 230,000,000 Shares, being 10 per cent of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution. The Repurchase Mandate will expire at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the Annual General Meeting; (ii) the expiration

of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by the ordinary resolutions passed by the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

If the Company conducts a share consolidation or subdivision after the Issuance Mandate or the Repurchase Mandate has been approved at the Annual General Meeting, the maximum number of Shares that may be allotted, issued and otherwise dealt with under the Issuance Mandate or repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) as a percentage of the total number of issued Shares at the date immediately before and after such consolidation or subdivision shall be the same.

As required by the Listing Rules, an explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 230,000,000 Shares, which represent 10 per cent of the number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the Annual General Meeting, during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the Annual General Meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by the ordinary resolutions passed by the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

REASONS OF REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Cayman Companies Law. The Cayman Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of either the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if the Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020, being the date of the latest published audited financial statements of the Company) if the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (has defined under the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he or she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Yang Bin being the substantial shareholders of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested in 944,338,528 Shares, representing approximately 41.06% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholding of Mr. Yang Bin would be increased to approximately 45.62% of the issued share capital of the Company, based upon his shareholdings as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.
