EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued shares of the Company comprised 1,810,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 1,810,000,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 181,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Shares repurchase may, depending on the 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 a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE

The Company may only apply funds legally available for Share repurchase in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE

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 consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022) in the event

– 21 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

that the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during the period from October 18, 2022 (the date of listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange) up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month, Year Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
October, 2022 (since the Listing Date) 2.63 1.98
November, 2022 5.21 2.02
December, 2022 5.20 4.06
January, 2023 4.40 3.80
February, 2023 4.66 3.96
March, 2023 4.74 2.52
April, 2023 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 2.77 1.57

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wang Lei (the executive Director, the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company) and Mr. Li Yanhao (the executive Director) were interested in 764,083,301 Shares representing approximately 42.21% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the aggregate shareholding of Mr. Wang Lei and Mr. Li Yanhao would be increased to approximately 46.91% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase in shareholding would 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 Share 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.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares had been made by the Company since the Listing Date and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
