EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
APPENDIX A
The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution in relation to the Buyback Mandate to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.
(i) Listing Rules
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully paid-up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
(ii) Exercise of the Buyback Mandate
Exercise in full of the Buyback Mandate, assuming that no further Share will be issued prior to the Annual General Meeting, and based on 479,089,534 fully-paid Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, could accordingly result in up to 47,908,953 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period from the passing of the resolution granting the Buyback Mandate until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) when such Buyback Mandate is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting; or (iii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by law or the Bye-laws to be held, whichever occurs first.
(iii) Reasons for Repurchase
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase the fully-paid Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset 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.
(iv) Funding of Repurchase
In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company. In the event that any repurchase will or will be likely to have an adverse impact on the working capital of the Company, the Company will not proceed with such repurchase.
There may be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 as contained in the Company’s annual report 2011) in the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances and in the opinion of the Directors, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or its gearing level.
– 8 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
APPENDIX A
(v) General
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective Associates, has any present intention, if the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company 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 Buyback 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 only exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
If, as a result of a share repurchase, 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 currently in force. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and becomes obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.
As at the Latest Practicable Date:
-
(i) Man Yue Holdings Inc. is a company incorporated in the Bahamas and is beneficially owned by Ms. Kee Chor Lin, the Chairman of the Company. If the Company exercises in full the Buyback Mandate, the shareholdings of Man Yue Holdings Inc. and the parties acting in concert with it, namely Ms. Kee Chor Lin, Mr. Chan Yu Ching, Eugene and Ms. Chan Lok Yan, Lorraine in the issued share capital of the Company will increase from approximately 56.06 per cent. to approximately 62.30 per cent. and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code;
-
(ii) DJE Investment S.A. (“DJE”) is a company incorporated in Luxemburg. If the Company exercises in full the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding of DJE in the issued share capital of the Company will increase from approximately 8.89 per cent. to approximately 9.88 per cent. and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code; and
-
(iii) Rays Capital Partners Limited (“Rays Capital”) is a company incorporated in Hong Kong. If the Company exercises in full the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding of Rays Capital in the issued share capital of the Company will increase from approximately 5.16 per cent. to approximately 5.73 per cent. and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
– 9 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
APPENDIX A
If as a result of the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate, the number of listed Shares which are in the hands of the public falls below the prescribed minimum of 25 per cent. as required by the Stock Exchange, the Company will not exercise the power to repurchase Shares.
The Company has not repurchased any shares of the Company (on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
(vi) Share prices
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Price per Share | Price per Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Month | Highest | Lowest |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
