EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for approving the Share Buy-back Mandate.

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

1. SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

All proposed buy-back of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by special approval of a particular transaction. The Company’s sole listing is on the Stock Exchange.

2. SOURCE OF FUNDS

Buying back of Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and the Companies Ordinance. The Companies Ordinance provides that a company may make a payment in respect of a share buy-back out of the company’s distributable profits and/or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of the buy-back to such extent allowable under the Companies Ordinance.

3. EXERCISE OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The Shares proposed to be bought back by the Company must be fully paid up. Under the Listing Rules, the total number of shares which a company is authorised to buy back on the Stock Exchange is shares representing up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the resolution granting such general mandate. Exercise in full of the Share Buy-back Mandate, on the basis of 5,301,837,842 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming there is no change to the number of issued Shares prior to the Annual General Meeting, could result in up to 530,183,784 Shares, which represents 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, being bought back by the Company during the period from the passing of the resolution granting the Share Buy-back Mandate up to the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the expiration of the period within the next annual general meeting of the Company as required by the applicable laws of Hong Kong to be held, or when revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

4. REASONS FOR THE BUY-BACK

Although the Directors have no present intention of buying back any Shares, they believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy-back Shares on the market. Such buy back may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

5. FUNDING OF THE BUY-BACK

In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

The exercise in full of the Share Buy-back Mandate might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

6. GENERAL

  • (a) None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates has any present intention, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders to sell the Shares to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

  • (b) The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

  • (c) If on exercise of the power to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of a buying back company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

  • As at the Latest Practicable Date, Shougang Holding (Hong Kong) Limited (“Shougang Holding”) together with its close associates and Funde Sino Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (“Funde Sino Life”) were interested in approximately 29.85% and 29.99% of the total number of shares of the Company in issue respectively. In the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is exercised in full and no further Shares are issued during the proposed buy-back period, the total number of Shares held by Shougang Holding together with its close associates and Funde Sino Life will increase to approximately 33.17% and 33.32% of the total number of shares of the Company in issue respectively. Such increases in the interests of the Company would possibly give rise to each of Shougang Holding and Funde Sino Life an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors have no present intention to buy back Shares to such extent that would give rise to Shougang Holding or Funde Sino Life an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

  • (d) The Company has not bought back any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date and will not buy back its Shares if public float is less than 25%.

  • (e) No core connected person has notified the Company that he or she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, and no core connected person has undertaken not to sell any of Shares held by him or her to the Company, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
