LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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

On 2 June 2022, 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 8,220,210,124 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 Hong Kong Stock Exchange of up to 10% of the total issued Shares on the date of passing of such resolution, which is up to 822,021,012 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 1,644,042,024 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

  • (c) to extend the Issuance Mandate by an amount representing the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate and the Issuance 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 any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in items 5 and 6 of the notice of Annual General Meeting as set out in this circular. In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate and also constituting the memorandum required under Section 239(2) of the Companies Ordinance, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

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 2023 Share Option Scheme under which the Directors may grant share options 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 2023 Share Option Scheme and to issue and allot Shares pursuant to the exercise of share options granted under the 2023 Share Option Scheme, 2017 Share Option Scheme and 2007 Share Option Scheme (the “ Share Option Mandate ”).

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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 2023 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 GRANTING OF THE SHARE AWARD 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 2023 Share Award Scheme under which the Directors may grant award Shares to any Eligible Person(s), 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 issue and allot award Shares under the 2023 Share Award Scheme (the “ Share Award Mandate ”).

The Share Award 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 2023 Share Award Scheme or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in item 9 of the notice of Annual General Meeting as set out in this circular.

5. 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. Yu Qingfei, Mr. Zhang Shengman, Mr. David T. Zhang, Dr. Lee Kai-Fu and Ms. Tsang King Suen Katherine shall retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. All of the above five retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the same meeting.

Pursuant to Code Provision B.2.3 of Corporate Governance Code, Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive director serves more than 9 years, his/her further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang have served the Company as independent non-executive Directors for more than 9 years since December 2006 and June 2012 respectively. Accordingly, a separate resolution will be put forward at the Annual General Meeting for re-electing Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang as an independent non-executive Director respectively.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

While Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang have served the Company as independent non-executive Directors for more than 9 years, the Nomination Committee has assessed the nomination of the Directors in accordance with the adopted nomination procedures and the Board Diversity Policy of the Company, and considered that (1) they still have the required independence, character, integrity and experience and are able to carry out their duties as independent non-executive Directors and (2) an appropriate balance between continuity of experience and refreshment of the Board can be maintained upon their re-election based on the following reasons:

  • (i) Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang are able to confirm their independence in respect of each of the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules;

  • (ii) Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang do not have any management role in the Company and its subsidiaries;

  • (iii) Despite their relatively long term of services on the Board, Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang would still be able to bring fresh perspectives to the Board with their ample financial management and legal experience; and

  • (iv) Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang have continually demonstrated strong independence in character and judgment and contributed effectively by providing impartial and objective views, and which, coupled with familiarity with the business of the Group, have proven themselves to be valuable members of the Board.

Having considered the above factors, and taking into account that Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang would continue to bring in fresh perspectives, objective insights and independent judgment to the Board and the Board committees of which they serve as members, the Nomination Committee therefore recommended the Board to propose them to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting despite Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang have been independent non-executive Directors of the Company for more than 9 years. After considering the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board is confident that Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang remain independent and have a healthy level of professional scepticism. Mr. Zhang Shengman and Mr. David T. Zhang will continue to make valuable contributions and bring fresh perspectives to the business development of the Company by providing their unique, balanced and objective views to the Board, and would like to seek the approval from the Shareholders for their re-election as independent non-executive Directors.

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/her 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.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Pan Donghui was appointed as an executive Director by the Board on 29 March 2023. According to Article 111 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Pan Donghui shall retire at the Annual General Meeting and shall be eligible for re-election.

According to the Company’s Board Diversity Policy , the Board endeavours to diversify professional backgrounds of Directors in order to meet the needs of the Company’s development. The appointment of Mr. Pan Donghui can supplement the Board’s professional requirements in various industries and facilitate the Group’s balanced and sustainable development and succession planning of the Board.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any retiring director(s) proposed to be re-elected or new director(s) proposed to be elected in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders’ approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of Mr. Pan Donghui, Mr. Yu Qingfei, Mr. Zhang Shengman, Mr. David T. Zhang, Dr. Lee Kai-Fu and Ms. Tsang King Suen Katherine are set out in Appendix II of this circular.

6. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out in this circular. At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, (i) the granting of the Repurchase Mandate; (ii) the granting of the Issuance Mandate; (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; (v) the granting of the Share Award Mandate; and (vi) the re-election of Directors.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, all resolutions will be put to vote by way of poll at the Annual General Meeting. An announcement on the poll vote results will be made by the Company after the Annual General Meeting in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

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 8,220,210,124 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 8,220,210,124 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 822,021,012 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 2022) 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 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.

– 10 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

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, Mr. Guo Guangchang, the Company’s controlling shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested and deemed to be interested in 6,044,984,673 Shares (including 6,044,246,673 Shares owned by FHL and 738,000 Shares held by him personally), representing 73.54% 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. 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 and assuming that there will be no other change in the total number of issued Shares since the Latest Practicable Date and the number of Shares directly and indirectly held by Mr. Guo Guangchang remains 6,044,984,673, the interest of Mr. Guo in the issued Shares would increase to approximately 81.71% 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.

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong 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.
