EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

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 that all on-market shares repurchased by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution which has been passed at a general meeting of such company duly convened and held, either by way of specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchases.

The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and Bye-laws to repurchase its own Shares.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 27,048,844,786.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 2,704,884,478 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Share as at the date of passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate, during the period from the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM 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 to be held by applicable laws of Bermuda or the Bye-laws; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is earlier.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an increase in net asset value per share and/or earnings per share of the Company. The Directors are seeking the grant of a general mandate to repurchase Shares to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number(s) and class(es) 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases may be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funded legally available for the purpose.

Exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period could have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 31 December 2016, being the date of the Company’s latest published audited accounts. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

5. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken to the Company not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by Shareholders.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. 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 will increase, such 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 (with the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of such increase, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge of the Directors, the following Shareholders are interested in 5% or more of the issued Shares as recorded in the register of interests in shares and short positions of the Company under Section 336(1) of Part XV of the SFO:

Notes:

  2. The percentages were calculated based on the Company’s issued share capital of 27,048,844,786 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and on the assumption that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company.

  3. NetMind is deemed to be interested in the 4,626,958,790 Shares held by Skytop, which is indirectly wholly-owned by NetMind.

In the event that the Directors shall exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate and if there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company, the interest of the above substantial Shareholders would be increased to the approximate percentage as shown in the last column above. The Directors are not aware of any consequence that would give rise to an obligation on the part of the above substantial Shareholders to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or reduce the amount of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the total share capital of the Company.
