EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide information to you with regard to the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
Based on 3,018,558,816 issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolutions (assuming all the Anti-dilution Shares and Scheme Shares have been allotted and issued), and subject to the passing of the relevant resolutions of members of the Company and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could accordingly result in up to about 301,855,881 Shares (representing 10% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolutions of members of the Company) being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company or any earlier date as referred to in the relevant resolutions of members.
2. REASON FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands. The Company shall not purchase any of its Shares unless the Directors determine that immediately after such purchase the value of the Company’s assets exceeds its liabilities and the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on its gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company. However, there might be a 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 year ended 31 December 2015 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full.
4. GENERAL
None of the Directors nor, to the best knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
– I-1 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
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 and the applicable laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands.
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 (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ 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 as a result of repurchases of Shares.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wang Xingchun (‘‘Mr. Wang’’), the single largest shareholder of the Company, through his controlled corporations held 75,912,505 Shares, representing approximately 40.24% of the total number of Shares in issue. As at the date of passing of the relevant resolutions approving the Repurchase Mandate (assuming all the Antidilution Shares and Scheme Shares have been allotted and issued), it is expected that Famous Speech Limited (‘‘Famous Speech’’), being the underwriter of the Right Issue, Mr. Wang and their respective associates together with parties acting in concert with them would directly and indirectly hold, (i) in case of no Rights Shares taken by the qualifying Shareholders (except for Famous Speech, Mr. Wang and their respective associates together with parties acting in concert with them), 2,263,564,962 Shares representing approximately 74.99% of the total number of issued Shares, and (ii) in case of all Rights Shares (other than Mr. Wang’s entitlement) are taken by the qualifying Shareholders, 986,862,565 Shares representing approximately 32.70% of the total number of Shares in issue.
Under scenario (i) above, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted to the Directors pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of Famous Speech, Mr. Wang and their respective associates together with parties acting in concert with them in the Company would be increased to approximately 83.32% of the total number of Shares in issue. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation on Famous Speech, Mr. Wang and their respective associates together with parties acting in concert with them to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but would reduce the number of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the total number of Shares in issue. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as may result in reducing the public shareholding of the Company to less than the minimum public float requirement.
Under scenario (ii) above, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted to the Directors pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of Famous Speech, Mr. Wang and their respective associates together with parties acting in concert with them in the Company would be increased to approximately 36.33% of the total number of Shares in issue. In such case, notwithstanding such increase of

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
interest will not reduce the number of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the total number of Shares in issue, it will give rise to an obligation on Famous Speech, Mr. Wang and their respective associates together with parties acting in concert with them to make a mandatory general offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in a mandatory general offer obligation on Famous Speech, Mr. Wang and their respective associates together with parties acting in concert with them under the Takeovers Code.
