APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares by the Company may only be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
The Company is empowered by its Memorandum and Articles of Association to repurchase Shares. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that a purchase of shares may be made (to the extent of the par value of such shares) out of profits or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose or, out of capital, provided that the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business and the purchase is authorised by its Articles of Association. Any premium payable on a purchase may be made out of profits, the Company’s share premium account or out of capital, provided that the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business and the purchase is authorised by its Articles of Association.
IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
There would not be any material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2015) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised 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 its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
GENERAL
To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective 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 is approved by the Shareholders.
The Company has not been notified by any 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 Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
8
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 the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT
If as a result of a repurchase of 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 of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the 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, the register of the Shareholders maintained by the Company pursuant to section 336 under Part XV of the SFO showed that the Company has been notified of the following interests by shareholders who own 5% or more of the Company’s issued share capital:
| Approximate | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| percentage of | |||
| Approximate | shareholding if | ||
| percentage of | the Repurchase | ||
| existing | Mandate is | ||
| Name | Number of Shares | shareholding | exercised in full |
| Cosmo Field | 843,750,000 | 56.25% | 62.5% |
| Li Yang_(note 1)_ | 843,750,000 | 56.25% | 62.5% |
| Hua Heng Investments Limited | 100,575,000 | 6.71% | 7.45% |
| Yang Jun_(note 2)_ | 100,575,000 | 6.71% | 7.45% |
| Tang Lingyan_(note 2)_ | 100,575,000 | 6.71% | 7.45% |
| Legendary Hope Investment | |||
| Holdings Corporation_(note 3)_ | 88,494,000 | 5.98% | 6.64% |
| Venus Investment Fund_(note 3)_ | 88,494,000 | 5.98% | 6.64% |
Notes
- Mr. Li beneficially owns the entire issued share capital of Cosmo Field. Therefore, Mr. Li is deemed, or taken to be, interested in all the shares of the Company held by Cosmo Field for the purpose of the SFO. Mr. Li is the sole director of Cosmo Field. On 4 September 2014, the Company has been notified that 404,000,000 shares in the share capital of the Company held by Cosmo Field, the Company’s controlling shareholder which is wholly owned by Mr. Li Yang who is a director and controlling shareholder of the Company (and also its chairman and Chief Executive Officer), were charged in favour of Cheer Hope Holdings Limited (“Subscriber”) which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CCB International (Holdings) Limited, as security for Cosmo Field’s obligations in relation to a loan note issued by Cosmo Field to the Subscriber on 4 September 2014. Further on 3 July 2015, the Company has been notified that another 348,000,000 shares in the share capital of the Company held by Cosmo Field were charged in favour of the Subscriber as security for Cosmo Field’s obligations in relation to a loan note issued by Cosmo Field to the Subscriber on 3 July 2015. On the same date, Cosmo Field entered into a shareholder loan agreement (“Shareholder Loan Agreement”) with the Company and agreed to use the proceeds from issuing the Notes to provide the Company with an interest-free and security-free loan of USD 15,000,000 (“Shareholder Loan”), as the whole or part of payment for the Proposed Acquisition as defined in the announcement of 27 January 2015. Pursuant to the Shareholder Loan Agreement, the principal of the Shareholder Loan shall be repaid on or

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
before 3 July 2017, provided that if the Acquisition cannot be completed on or before 31 October 2015 (“Completion Date”), the Company shall repay the principal of the Shareholder Loan within 5 business days after the Completion Date. The Company has also been informed that, on 3 July 2015, Cosmo Field granted share warrants to the Subscriber, pursuant to which the Subscriber is entitled to, subject to certain adjustment on the exercise price of the said share warrants, purchase up to 59,090,909 shares of the Company (representing approximately 3.94% issued share capital of the Company) from Cosmo Field within the exercise period of 24 months from the date of this announcement. For further details, please refer to the announcements of the Company dated 3 July 2015 and 24 December 2015.
-
Ms. Tang Lingyan is the spouse of Mr. Yang Jun. Mr. Yang Jun beneficially owns the entire issued share capital of Hua Heng Investments Limited. Therefore, Ms. Tang Lingyan is deemed, or taken to be, interested in all the shares of the Company held by Hua Heng Investments Limited for the purpose of the SFO. Mr. Yang Jun is the sole director of Hua Heng Investments Limited.
-
Venus Investment Fund is the controlled corporation of Legendary Hope Investment Holdings Corporation. Legendary Hope Investment Holdings Corporation is deemed to be interested in all the shares of the Company held by Venus Investment Fund for the purpose of SFO.
On the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the AGM, 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 AGM, the total interests of the above Shareholders would be increased to approximately the respective percentages shown in the last column above.
The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase of its shares on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the company’s issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares, which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
