Directors; (iii) the extension of the Issuance Mandate by adding to it the issued Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate; (iv) the granting of Share Option Mandate; and (v) the re-election of Directors.

2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE AND THE ISSUANCE MANDATE

On 5 June 2019, general mandates were granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares and to issue new Shares. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued Shares of the Company comprised 8,512,180,744 Shares.

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

  • (a) to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of up to 10% of the total issued Shares on the date of passing of such resolution, which is up to 851,218,074 Shares (assuming that there will be no change in the number of Shares in issue between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the “ Repurchase Mandate ”);

  • (b) to allot, issue or deal with new Shares of up to 20% of the total issued Shares on the date of passing of such resolution, which is up to 1,702,436,148 Shares (assuming that there will be no change in the number of Shares in issue between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the “ Issuance Mandate ”); and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE SHARE OPTION MANDATE

Under sections 140 and 141 of the Companies Ordinance, directors of a company shall not, without shareholders’ prior approval in general meeting, allot new shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into shares in the company. The Company has a Share Option Scheme under which the Directors may grant to any Eligible Person(s) to subscribe for Shares, subject to the terms and conditions as stipulated therein. It is proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant the Directors an unconditional mandate to grant share options under the Share Option Scheme and to issue and allot Shares pursuant to the exercise of share options granted under the Share Option Scheme and the Old Share Option Scheme (the “ Share Option Mandate ”).

The Share Option Mandate will continue to be in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the Annual General Meeting or the date of the expiration of the Share Option Scheme or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in item 8 of the notice of Annual General Meeting as set out in this circular.

4. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to articles 106 and 107 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting of the Company, at least one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, the number nearest to and is at least one-third) shall retire from office by rotation. The Directors to retire by rotation shall be those who have been serving longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment. As between persons who became or were last reappointed Directors on the same day, the person(s) to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election by the Shareholders at the relevant annual general meeting.

According to articles 106 and 107 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Chen Qiyu, Mr. Qin Xuetang, Mr. Zhang Huaqiao, and Dr. Lee Kai-Fu shall retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. All of the above four retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the same meeting.

Pursuant to article 111 of the Articles of Association, the Board shall have power to appoint any person who is willing to act as a Director, either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an additional Director to the existing Board. Any Director so appointed by the Board shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company after his appointment and shall then be eligible for re-election provided that any Director who so retires shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at such meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board appointed Ms. Chen Shucui as a non-executive Director at the Board meeting held in December 2019 and the appointment came into effect on 17 December 2019. According to article 111 of the Articles of Association, Ms. Chen Shuicui shall retire at the Annual General Meeting and shall be eligible for re-election.

According to the Company’s diversification policy, we endeavour to diversify professional backgrounds of directors in order to meet the needs of the Company’s development.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that (i) the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors; (ii) the granting of the Issuance Mandate to the Directors; (iii) the extension of the Issuance Mandate by adding to it the issued Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate; (iv) the granting of the Share Option Mandate; and (v) the re-election of Directors are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that the Shareholders shall vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

7. GENERAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in Appendix I (Explanatory Statement on the Repurchase Mandate) and Appendix II (Details of Directors Proposed to be Re-elected at the Annual General Meeting) to this circular.

Yours faithfully, By Order of the Board Guo Guangchang Chairman

– 8 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules and section 239(2) of the Companies Ordinance to be sent to the Shareholders to enable 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 Repurchase Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases of Shares 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. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to them to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

2. ISSUED SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued Shares of the Company comprised 8,512,180,744 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the number of issued Shares of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 8,512,180,744 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, up to 851,218,074 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Companies Ordinance and/or any other applicable laws and regulations in Hong Kong, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

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 2019) in the event that the 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 Repurchase Mandate to such

– 9 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase 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, 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, FHL, the Company’s controlling shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested in 6,044,246,673 Shares, representing 71.01% of the total issued Shares of the Company. FHL is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and wholly owned by Fosun International Holdings which was owned as to 85.29% and 14.71% by Mr. Guo Guangchang and Mr. Wang Qunbin, respectively. Pursuant to Part XV of the SFO, FHL is a controlled corporation of Mr. Guo Guangchang and accordingly, Mr. Guo Guangchang was deemed to be interested in 6,044,246,673 Shares owned by FHL. On the basis that the number of issued Shares of the Company remains 8,512,180,744 and the number of Shares held by FHL remains 6,044,246,673, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting, the interest of FHL in the issued Shares would increase to approximately 78.90% of the total number of issued Shares.

The Directors will not make repurchase of Shares to such extents which would, in the circumstances, result in less than 20% of the number of issued Shares being held in public hands. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.

6. GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, 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 Repurchase Mandate to the Directors 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 Repurchase Mandate to the Directors is approved by the Shareholders.

– 10 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Hong Kong.
