Toe Tiong Hock

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,000,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorized to repurchase up to a maximum of 100,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date during the period up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable law of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors consider that the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. SOURCE OF FUNDS

In repurchasing Shares, the Company will only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company will not repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange for consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

4. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 31 December 2018, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

5. DIRECTORS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES

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

6. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

7. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Toe Tiong Hock ("Mr. Toe") and his spouse, Ms. Wong Yet Lian ("Ms. Wong"), together with companies controlled by them, are interested in 602,000,000 Shares representing approximately 60.2% of the issued share capital of the Company. The 301,000,000 Shares are held by each of KAL SG Limited ("KAL SG") and KYL SG Limited ("KYL SG"). KAL SG and KYL SG are wholly owned by Mr. Toe and Ms. Wong, respectively, each of Mr. Toe and Ms. Wong is deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by KAL SG and KYL SG for the purpose of SFO.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the interest of KAL SG and KYL SG will increase to approximately 66.89%. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

In respect of the public float, the Directors will not repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange if the repurchase would result in the number of the listed securities which are in the hands of the public falling below 25%, being the relevant minimum prescribed percentage for the Company as required by the Listing Rules.

8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchases of the Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

9. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CORE CONNECTED PARTIES

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has he/she/it undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised.

10. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous nine months (since the Shares were listed on the Stock Exchange on 16 July 2018) before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Share Prices
Highest
HK$ Lowest
