APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,232,000,000 Shares in issue.
Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no new Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased for the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 123,200,000 Shares, representing 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate 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 Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. 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 earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In making repurchases, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Articles of Association, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The premium payable on repurchases may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company’s share
– 8 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
premium before the Shares are repurchased. In accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Shares so repurchased would be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital would not be reduced.
5. MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT IN THE EVENT OF REPURCHASE IN FULL
Taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate is to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, it might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with its position as at 31 December 2018, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect 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.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest market prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Month | Highest | Lowest |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2018 | ||
| April | 1.90 | 1.62 |
| May | 1.75 | 1.40 |
| June | 1.45 | 1.00 |
| July | 1.15 | 0.67 |
| August | 0.82 | 0.56 |
| September | 0.72 | 0.58 |
| October | 0.69 | 0.53 |
| November | 0.63 | 0.56 |
| December | 1.14 | 0.57 |
| 2019 | ||

| February | 0.88 | 0.71 |
| March | 1.09 | 0.81 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.91 | 0.80 |

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
7. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association.
8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
No connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the grant of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
9. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases upon the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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.

Notes:
(1) CMBC Capital Finance Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMBC Capital Holdings Limited which is beneficially owned by CMBC International Investment Limited as to 60.62%. CMBC International Investment Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMBC International Investment (HK) Limited which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CMBC International Holdings Limited. By virtue of the SFO, CMBC Capital Holdings Limited, CMBC International Holdings Limited, CMBC International Investment (HK) Limited and CMBC International Investment Limited are therefore deemed to be interested in the security interest held by CMBC Capital Finance Limited.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
-
(2) The percentage of shareholding was calculated based on the total issued share capital of 1,232,000,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
-
(3) Gentle Soar Limited is beneficially and wholly owned by Mr. Gao Yunhong, an executive Director. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Gao Yunhong is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Gentle Soar Limited.
-
(4) Masterveyor Holdings Limited is beneficially and wholly owned by Mr. Ng Kin Siu, an executive Director. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Ng Kin Siu is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Masterveyor.
-
(5) Ms. Wong Chai Lin is the spouse of Mr. Ng Kin Siu and is therefore deemed to be interested in all the Shares held/owned by Mr. Ng Kin Siu (by himself or through Masterveyor Holdings Limited) by virtue of the SFO.
-
(6) The letter ‘‘L’’ denotes the person’s long position in the Shares.
On the basis of 1,232,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming there is no further issue or repurchases of Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting, if the Repurchase Mandate are exercised in full, the shareholding in the Company of CMBC Capital Finance Limited, CMBC Capital Holdings Limited, CMBC International Holdings Limited, CMBC International Investment (HK) Limited, CMBC International Investment Limited, Gentle Soar Limited and Mr. Gao Yunhong would increase from 70% to approximately 77.78% of the issued share capital of the Company. The shareholding in the Company of Masterveyor Holdings Limited, Mr. Ng Kin Siu and Ms. Wong Chai Lin would also increase from 5% to approximately 5.56% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increases would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but would result in the aggregate amount of the issued share capital of the Company in the public hands being reduced to less than 25%. The Directors confirm that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent as may result in a public shareholding falling below the prescribed minimum percentage, which is 25%.
10. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company did not repurchase any Shares in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
