  • 3.5 The Hong Kong Listing Rules provide that the New Share Issue Mandate shall be subject to a restriction that the aggregate number of Shares allotted or agreed to be allotted under the New Share Issue Mandate must not exceed twenty per cent.

4. THE PROPOSED NEW SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE

  • 4.1 At the 2014 AGM, the Directors were granted the share purchase mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to purchase or acquire Shares (whether by way of market purchases or off-market purchases on an equal access scheme) of up to ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) in the capital of the Company (as ascertained as at the date of the 2014 AGM), at the price of up to but not exceeding:

  • (a) in the case of an on-market purchase (the ‘‘Market Purchase’’), one hundred and five per cent. (105%) of the average closing price of the Shares over the last five (5) market days, on which transactions in the Shares were recorded, immediately preceding the date of the Market Purchase by the Company; and

  • (b) in the case of an off-market purchase (the ‘‘Off-Market Purchase’’), one hundred and twenty per cent. (120%) of the average closing price of the Shares over the last five (5) market days, on which transactions in the Shares were recorded, immediately preceding the date of the Off-Market Purchase by the Company,

(the ‘‘Previous Share Purchase Mandate’’).

  • 4.2 As the Previous Share Purchase Mandate granted pursuant to the 2014 AGM will expire at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM, the Directors propose for the adoption of a new share purchase mandate (the ‘‘New Share Purchase Mandate’’) at the forthcoming AGM.

  • 4.3 As mentioned in paragraph 3.3 above, the Company has converted its listing status on the Main Board of the SGX-ST from a primary listing to a secondary listing on 8 September 2014 and will not be required to comply with the Singapore Listing Manual save for Rule 217 of the Singapore Listing Manual.

  • 4.5 The New Share Purchase Mandate, once approved, will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law to be held, whichever is earlier, unless revoked or varied by the Company in a general meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • 4.6 As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 388,000,000. Accordingly, assuming that the Company has not issued or repurchased its Shares during the Relevant Period, the exercise of the New Share Purchase Mandate in full of up to the maximum limit of ten per cent. (10%) of its issued Shares, once approved, would enable the Company to repurchase a maximum of 38,800,000 Shares. The New Share Purchase Mandate will provide flexibility to the Directors to purchase or acquire Shares whenever it is in the interest of the Company.

  • 4.7 An explanatory statement setting out the details of the New Share Purchase Mandate is attached as Appendix II of this circular.

IMPORTANT: Notwithstanding the adoption of the New Share Issue Mandate and the New Share Purchase Mandate, the Company shall from time to time comply with the relevant requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules in relation to issuance of securities, in particular Rules 7.19(6) and 13.36 thereof.

5. DIRECTORS’ RECOMMENDATIONS

  • 5.1 The Board is pleased to recommend the retiring Directors, whose details are set out in Appendix I to this Circular, for re-election at the AGM.

  • 5.2 The Board considers that the re-election of the retiring Directors, the New Share Issue Mandate and the New Share Purchase Mandate are in the interests of the Group and are not prejudicial to the Shareholders as a whole.

  • 5.3 Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions relating to the re-election of the retiring Directors, the New Share Issue Mandate and the New Share Purchase Mandate as set out in the notice of AGM of the Company to be proposed at the AGM.

6. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Pursuant to Article 59 of the Articles and Rule 13.39(4) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company must be taken by way of 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.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

THE PROPOSED NEW SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE

1. The New Share Purchase Mandate

  • 1.1 Background

At the 2014 AGM, the Shareholders had approved the renewal of the Previous Share Purchase Mandate to enable the Company to purchase or to otherwise acquire issued Shares in the capital of the Company. Unless revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting, the authority contained in the Previous Share Purchase Mandate was expressed to continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law to be held, whichever is earlier.

The Company has converted its listing status on the Main Board of the SGX-ST from a primary listing to a secondary listing on 8 September 2014 and will not be required to comply with the Singapore Listing Manual save for Rule 217 of the Singapore Listing Manual. Rule 217 requires the Company:

  • (a) to release all information and documents in English to the SGX-ST via SGXNET at the same time as they are released to the SEHK;

  • (b) to inform the SGX-ST of any issue of additional ordinary shares and the decision of the SEHK on the listing and quotation of the additional securities issued by the Company; and

  • (c) to comply with such other listing rules as may be applied by the SGX-ST from time to time (whether before or after listing).

Going forward, following the conversion of the Company’s listing status from a primary listing to a secondary listing on the Main Board of the SGX-ST, the Company will comply with the requirements under the Companies Act, the Singapore Takeovers Code, the Hong Kong Takeovers Code and the Hong Kong Listing Rules for matters relating to the New Share Purchase Mandate.

As the Previous Share Purchase Mandate granted at the 2014 AGM will expire at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM, the Directors propose for the adoption of the New Share Purchase Mandate at the forthcoming AGM.

1.2 Rationale

The Companies Act allows a Singapore-incorporated company to purchase or otherwise acquire its issued shares (i.e. ordinary shares, stocks and preference shares) if it is expressly permitted to do so by the company’s articles of association. Any purchase or acquisition of Shares by the Company would have to be made in accordance with, and in the manner prescribed by the Companies Act, the Hong Kong Listing Rules, and such other laws and regulations as may, for the time being, be applicable.

The adoption of the New Share Purchase Mandate will give the Directors the flexibility to purchase or acquire Shares if and when circumstances permit during the period that the New Share Purchase Mandate is in force. Share purchases or

acquisitions provide the Company and its Directors with an easy mechanism to facilitate the return of surplus cash over and above its ordinary capital requirements in an expedient and cost-efficient manner. The purchases or acquisitions of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements, lead to an enhancement of the earnings per Share (the ‘‘EPS’’) and/or the net tangible assets (the ‘‘NTA’’) per Share, and will only be made when the Directors believe that such purchases or acquisitions of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Share purchases or acquisitions also allow the Directors to exercise control over the Company’s share capital structure with a view to enhance the EPS and/or the NTA per Share. The Share Purchase Mandate will further give the Company the opportunity to purchase or acquire Shares when such Shares are undervalued and help to buffer short-term share price volatility and offset the effects of share price speculation, thereby boosting Shareholders’ confidence and employees’ morale.

If and when circumstances permit, the Directors will decide whether to effect the Share purchases or acquisitions via Market Purchases or Off-Market Purchases (as defined above), after taking into account the amount of surplus cash available, the then prevailing market conditions and the most cost effective and efficient approach.

The Directors will only make purchases or acquisitions of Shares pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate when they consider it to be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and in circumstances which they believe from time to time will not result (a) in any material adverse effect on the working capital, gearing position or financial position of the Company or the Group as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements set out in the Annual Report in the event that the New Share Purchase Mandate is to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed share purchase period, or (b) in the Company being delisted from the SEHK or the SGX-ST or any other securities exchange or being insolvent. It should be noted that the purchases or acquisitions pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate may not be carried out to the full limit as mandated.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Shares during the twelve (12) months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

1.3 Authority and limits of the New Share Purchase Mandate

The authority and limits placed on the New Share Purchase Mandate are summarised as follows:

1.3.1 Maximum number of Shares

Only Shares which are issued and fully paid-up may be purchased or acquired by the Company. The total number of Shares that may be purchased or acquired by the Company pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate shall not exceed ten per cent. (10%) of the issued Shares of the Company as at the date of the last annual general meeting held before the resolution authorizing the New Share Purchase Mandate is passed or as at the date of the resolution authorizing the New Share Purchase Mandate is passed (the ‘‘Approval Date’’), whichever is higher, unless the Company has, at any time during the Relevant Period, reduced

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

its share capital by a special resolution under Section 78C of the Companies Act, or the court has, at any time during the Relevant Period, made an order under Section 78I of the Companies Act confirming the reduction of share capital of the Company, in which event the total number of issued Shares shall be taken to be the total number of issued Shares as altered by the special resolution of the Company or the order of the court, as the case may be. Under the Companies Act, any Shares which are held as treasury shares shall be disregarded for the purposes of computing the ten per cent. (10%) limit. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares were held as treasury shares.

For illustration purposes only, on the basis of 388,000,000 Shares in issue (none of which were treasury shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date, being 23 February 2015, not more than 38,800,000 Shares (representing ten per cent. (10%) of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) may be purchased or acquired by the Company pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate.

1.3.2 Duration of the New Share Purchase Mandate

Purchases or acquisitions of Shares may be made, at any time and from time to time, on and from the Approval Date, up to:

  • (a) the date on which the next annual general meeting of the Company is held or required by law to be held; or

  • (b) the date on which the Share purchases or acquisitions are carried out to the full extent mandated under the New Share Purchase Mandate; or

  • (c) the date on which the authority conferred by the New Share Purchase Mandate is revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting,

whichever is the earliest.

The New Share Purchase Mandate may be renewed by Shareholders’ approval at the subsequent annual general meeting of the Company or other general meeting of the Company.

1.3.3 Manner of purchases or acquisitions of Shares

Purchases or acquisitions of Shares may be made by way of:

  • (a) Market Purchase, transacted on the SEHK, the SGX- ST and/or on any other securities exchange on which the Shares are listed and/or quoted, through one or more duly licensed dealers appointed by the Company for that purpose; and/or

  • (b) Off-Market Purchase, in accordance with an equal access scheme for the purchase or acquisition of Shares from Shareholders.

In relation to Off-Market Purchases, the Directors may impose such terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the New Share Purchase Mandate, the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Companies Act as they consider fit in the

– 14 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

interests of the Company in connection with or in relation to any equal access scheme(s). Under Section 76C of the Companies Act, an equal access scheme must satisfy all the following conditions:

  • (a) offers under the scheme must be made to every person who holds Shares to purchase or acquire the same percentage of their Shares;

  • (b) all of those persons shall be given a reasonable opportunity to accept the offers made to them; and

  • (c) the terms of all the offers are the same, except that there shall be disregarded:

  • (i) differences in consideration attributable to the fact that the offers relate to Shares with different accrued dividend entitlements;

  • (ii) differences in consideration attributable to the fact that the offers relate to Shares with different amounts remaining unpaid; and

  • (iii) differences in the offers introduced solely to ensure that each member is left with a whole number of Shares.

1.3.4 Maximum purchase price

The purchase price (excluding brokerage, stamp duties, commission, applicable goods and services tax and other related expenses (the ‘‘Related Expenses’’)) to be paid for the Shares purchased or acquired pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate will be determined by the Directors.

However, the purchase price to be paid for the Shares purchased or acquired pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate as determined by the Directors must not exceed:

  • (a) in the case of a Market Purchase, one hundred and five per cent. (105%) of the Average Closing Price (as defined below) of the Shares; and

  • (b) in the case of an Off-Market Purchase, one hundred and twenty per cent. (120%) of the Average Closing Price (as defined below) of the Shares,

in either case, excluding Related Expenses of the purchase or acquisition (the ‘‘Maximum Price’’).

For the above purposes:

‘‘Average Closing Price’’ means:

  • (aa) in the case of a Market Purchase, the average of the closing market prices of the Shares over the last five (5) Market Days on which transactions in the Shares were recorded on the the SEHK, the SGX-ST or as the case may be, such other stock exchange on which the Shares are listing or quoted, immediately preceding the date of the Market Purchase by the Company; or

– 15 –

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • (bb) in the case of an Off-Market Purchase, the average of the closing market prices of the Shares over the last five (5) Market Days on which transactions in the Shares were recorded on the SEHK, the SGX-ST or as the case may be, such other stock exchange on which the Shares are listing or quoted, immediately preceding the Date of the Making of the Offer pursuant to the Off-Market Purchase,

and deemed to be adjusted for any corporate action that occurs after the relevant five (5) Market Days period; and

‘‘Date of the Making of the Offer’’ means the date on which the Company makes an offer for the purchase or acquisition of the Shares to holders of Shares, stating the purchase price (which shall not be more than the Maximum Price determined on the foregoing basis) for each Share and the relevant terms of the equal access scheme for effecting the Off-Market Purchase.

1.4 Source of funds

In purchasing or acquiring Shares pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purchase or acquisition in accordance with the Articles, the Companies Act, the Hong Kong Listing Rules and any other applicable laws and regulations.

Under the Companies Act, any payment made by the Company in consideration of the purchase or acquisition of its own Shares may be made out of the Company’s capital and/or profits, so long as the Company is solvent.

For this purpose, a company is ‘‘solvent’’ if:

  • (i) the company is able to pay its debts in full at the time of payment for the purchase or acquisition of the Shares and will be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the normal course of business during the period of twelve (12) months immediately following the date of the payment; and

  • (ii) the value of the company’s assets is not less than the value of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and will not after the proposed purchase, acquisition or release, become less than the value of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities), having regard to the most recent financial statements of the company and all other circumstances that the directors or managers of the Company know or ought to know affect, or may affect, such values.

Under the Articles, the Company may purchase or otherwise acquire any of its issued shares out of distributable profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purposes of such purchase or acquisition.

The Company intends to use internal resources, or external borrowings, or a combination of both to fund the purchases of Shares pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate. However, in considering the option of external financing, the Directors will consider particularly the prevailing gearing level of the Group. The Directors will only make purchases or acquisitions of Shares pursuant to the New

– 16 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

Share Purchase Mandate in circumstances which they believe will not result in any material adverse effect to the financial position of the Company or the Group, and in accordance with the requirements as stated above pursuant to the Companies Act.

1.5 Status of purchased Shares

Under the Companies Act, the Company may choose to hold the purchased Shares as treasury Shares or to cancel them. The Articles also allows the Company to hold purchased Shares as treasury Shares. Accordingly, the Company has the discretion to hold the purchased Shares as treasury Shares or to cancel them.

However, as the Company is now primarily listed on the SEHK, it has to comply with the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Under Rule 10.06(5) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the listing of all Shares which are purchased by the Company (whether on the SEHK or otherwise) shall be automatically cancelled upon purchase and the Company must apply for listing of any further issues of that type of Shares in the normal way. The Company shall ensure that the documents of title of purchased Shares are cancelled and destroyed as soon as reasonably practicable following settlement of any such purchase. Shares purchased or acquired by the Company are deemed cancelled immediately on purchase or acquisition (and all rights and privileges attached to the Shares will expire on such cancellation). The total number of issued Shares will be diminished by the number of Shares purchased or acquired by the Company.

Certificates in respect of purchased or acquired Shares that are cancelled by the Company will be cancelled by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following settlement of any purchase or acquisition of such Shares.

1.6 Reporting requirements

  • 1.6.1 Within thirty (30) days of the passing of the Shareholders’ ordinary resolution to approve any purchase or acquisition of Shares by the Company, the Company shall lodge a copy of such ordinary resolution with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (the ‘‘ACRA’’).

  • 1.6.2 The Company shall also notify ACRA within thirty (30) days of a purchase or acquisition of Shares on the SGX-ST, SEHK or otherwise, in the prescribed form. Such notification shall include details of the date of the purchase or acquisition, the total number of Shares purchased or acquired by the Company, the number of Shares cancelled, the Company’s issued share capital before the purchase or acquisition of Shares, the Company’s issued share capital after the purchase or acquisition of Shares, the amount of consideration paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition, whether Shares were purchased or acquired out of profits or capital of the Company, and such other particulars as may be required in the prescribed form.

  • 1.6.3 While the Hong Kong Listing Rules do not expressly prohibit any purchase of shares by a listed company during any particular time or times, because the Company would be regarded as an ‘‘insider’’ in relation to any proposed purchase or acquisition of its Shares, the Company will not undertake any purchase or acquisition of Shares pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate at any time after a price sensitive development has occurred or has

– 17 –

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

been the subject of a decision until the price sensitive information has been publicly announced. In particular, for the purposes of the foregoing, the Company will not purchase or acquire any Shares through Market Purchase during the period commencing one (1) month immediately preceding the earlier of:

  • (a) the date of the board meeting (as such date is first notified to the SEHK or the SGX-ST) for the approval of the results announcement for the full financial year or half-year; and

  • (b) the deadline for the Company to publish an announcement of its results for any full financial year or half-year (whether or not required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules),

and ending on the date of the results announcement.

1.7 Financial effects

The financial effects on the Group arising from the purchases or acquisitions of Shares which may be made pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate will depend on, inter alia, whether the Shares are purchased or acquired out of capital and/or profits of the Company, the number of Shares purchased or acquired, the consideration paid for such Shares or the amount (if any) borrowed by the Company to fund the purchases or acquisitions. It is therefore not possible to realistically calculate or quantify the impact at this point of time.

1.7.1 Purchase or acquisition out of profits and/or capital

Under the Companies Act, purchases or acquisitions of Shares by the Company may be made out of the capital and/or profits of the Company so long as the Company is solvent.

Under the Articles, the Company may purchase or otherwise acquire any of its issued shares out of distributable profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purposes of such purchase or acquisition.

Where the consideration paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition of Shares is made out of profits, such consideration (excluding brokerage, stamp duties, commission, applicable goods and services tax and other related expenses) will correspondingly reduce the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by the Company.

Where the consideration paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition of Shares is made out of capital, the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by the Company will not be reduced.

– 18 –

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

After the purchased or acquired Shares are cancelled, a reduction by the total amount of the purchase price paid by the Company for the purchased or acquired Shares will be made to:

  • (a) the share capital of the Company where the Shares were purchased out of the capital of the Company;

  • (b) the profits of the Company where the Shares were purchased out of the profits of the Company; or

  • (c) the share capital and profits of the Company proportionately where the Shares were purchased out of both the capital and profits of the Company.

1.7.2 Number of Shares acquired or purchased

For illustration purposes only, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 388,000,000. Accordingly, assuming that the Company has not issued or repurchased its Shares during the Relevant Period, the exercise of the New Share Purchase Mandate in full of up to the maximum limit of ten per cent. (10%) of its issued Shares, once approved, would enable the Company to repurchase a maximum of 38,800,000 Shares.

1.7.3 Maximum Price paid for Shares acquired or purchased

In the case of the Market Purchases by the Company, based on the existing issued and paid-up capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and the assumption that, pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate, the Company purchases the maximum number of 38,800,000 Shares at the Maximum Price of S$0.235 per Share (being the price equivalent to five per cent. (5%) above the average of the closing market prices of the Shares for the five (5) Market Days on which the Shares were traded on the SGX-ST immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date), the maximum amount of funds required for the purchase of 38,800,000 Shares is approximately S$9,118,000, excluding Related Expenses.

In the case of the Off-Market Purchases by the Company, based on the existing issued and paid-up capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and the assumption that, pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate, the Company purchases the maximum number of 38,800,000 Shares at the Maximum Price of S$0.265 per Share (being the price equivalent to twenty per cent. (20%) above the average of the closing market prices of the Shares for the five (5) Market Days on which the Shares were traded on the SGX-ST immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date), the maximum amount of funds required for the purchase of 38,800,000 Shares is approximately S$10,282,000, excluding Related Expenses.

1.8 Taxation

Shareholders who are in doubt as to their respective tax positions or tax implications of Shares purchased by the Company, or who may be subject to tax whether in or outside Singapore, should consult their own professional advisers.

– 19 –

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

1.9 Listing status

The Company is required under Rule 8.08 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules to ensure that at least twenty-five per cent. (25%) of its Shares are in the hands of the public. According to the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the SEHK will not regard any connected person of the Group as a member of ‘‘the public’’ or Shares held by a connected person as being ‘‘in public hands’’. In addition, the SEHK will not recognise as a member of ‘‘the public’’:

  • (a) any person whose acquisition of securities has been financed directly or indirectly by a core connected person; and/or

  • (b) any person who is accustomed to take instructions from a core connected person in relation to the acquisition, disposal, voting or other disposition of securities of the Company registered in his/her name or otherwise held by him/her.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 269,622,813 Shares in the hands of the public, representing sixty-nine point forty-nine per cent. (69.49%) of the issued Shares of the Company. Assuming that the Company purchases or acquires its Shares through Market Purchases up to the full ten per cent. (10%) limit pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate, the number of Shares in the hands of the public would be reduced to 230,822,813 Shares, representing sixty-six point ten per cent. (66.10%) of the remaining issued Shares of the Company (on the assumption that the purchased Shares are cancelled).

In undertaking any purchases or acquisitions of its Shares, the Directors will use their best efforts to ensure that a sufficient number of Shares remain in public hands so that the Share purchases or acquisitions will not:

  • (a) adversely affect the listing status of the Shares on both the SGX-ST and the SEHK;

  • (b) cause market illiquidity; or

  • (c) adversely affect the orderly trading of the Shares.

  • 1.10 Suspension of purchase or acquisition

  • 1.10.1 The Company will not effect or undertake any Share purchases or acquisitions prior to the announcement of any price-sensitive information by the Company, until such time as the price-sensitive information has been publicly announced or disseminated in accordance with the requirements of the Singapore Listing Manual.

  • 1.10.2 The Company will not effect or undertake any Share purchases or acquisitions on the SEHK or the SGX-ST during the period commencing one (1) month immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the date of the board meeting (as such date is first notified to the SGX-ST or the SEHK) for the approval of the results announcement for the financial year or half-year, and (ii) the deadline for the Company to publish an announcement of its results

– 20 –

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

for any year or half-year (whether or not required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules or the Singapore Listing Manual), and ending on the date of the results announcement.

1.11 (A) Implications under the Singapore Takeovers Code

The resultant increase in the percentage of voting rights held by a Shareholder and persons acting in concert with him, following the purchase or acquisition of Shares by the Company, will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 14 of the Singapore Takeovers Code (‘‘Rule 14’’). Consequently, depending on the number of Shares purchased or acquired by the Company and the total number of Shares in the capital of the Company at that time, a Shareholder and persons acting in concert with him could obtain or consolidate effective control of the Company and could become obliged to make an offer under Rule 14.

Under the Singapore Takeovers Code, persons acting in concert comprise individuals or companies who, pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal), cooperate, through the acquisition by any of them of shares in a company, to obtain or consolidate effective control of that company. Unless the contrary is established, the following persons, inter alia, will be presumed to be acting in concert with each other:

  • (i) a company with any of its directors (together with their close relatives, related trusts as well as companies controlled by any of the directors, their close relatives and related trusts);

  • (ii) the following companies:

  • (aa) a company;

  • (bb) the parent company of (aa);

  • (cc) the subsidiaries of (aa);

  • (dd) the fellow subsidiaries of (aa);

  • (ee) the associated companies of any of (aa), (bb), (cc) or (dd);

  • (ff) companies whose associated companies include any of (aa), (bb), (cc), (dd), or (ee); and

  • (gg) any person who has provided financial assistance (other than a bank in the ordinary course of business) to any of the above for the purchase of voting rights; and

  • (iii) the following persons and entities:

  • (aa) an individual;

  • (bb) the close relatives of (aa);

– 21 –

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • (cc) the related trusts of (aa);

  • (dd) any person who is accustomed to act in accordance with the instructions of (aa);

  • (ee) companies controlled by any of (aa), (bb), (cc), or (dd); and

  • (ff) any person who has provided financial assistance (other than a bank in the ordinary course of business) to any of the above for the purchase of voting rights.

For this purpose, a company is an associated company of another company if the second company owns or controls at least twenty per cent. (20%) but not more than fifty per cent. (50%) of the voting rights of the firstmentioned company.

The circumstances under which Shareholders (including Directors) and persons acting in concert with them respectively will incur an obligation to make a general offer under Rule 14 after a purchase or acquisition of Shares by the Company are set out in Rule 14 and Appendix 2 of the Singapore Takeovers Code.

In general terms, the effect of Rule 14 and Appendix 2 of the Singapore Takeovers Code is that, unless exempted, the Directors and persons acting in concert with them will incur an obligation to make a general offer under Rule 14 if, as a result of the Company purchasing or acquiring Shares, the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties would increase to thirty per cent. (30%) or more, or if the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties fall between thirty per cent. (30%) and fifty per cent. (50%) of the Company’s voting rights, the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties would increase by more than one per cent. (1%) in any period of six (6) months.

Under Appendix 2 of the Singapore Takeovers Code, a Shareholder not acting in concert with the Directors will not be required to make a general offer under Rule 14 if, as a result of the Company purchasing or acquiring its Shares, the voting rights of such Shareholder in the Company would increase to thirty per cent. (30%) or more, or, if such Shareholder holds between thirty per cent. (30%) and fifty per cent. (50%) of the Company’s voting rights, the voting rights of such Shareholder would increase by more than one per cent. (1%) in any period of six (6) months. Such Shareholder need not abstain from voting in respect of the resolution authorising the New Share Purchase Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Kingever Enterprises Limited (which is wholly owned by Mr. Cui Wei) has an interest in 90,294,662 Shares, representing twenty-three point two-seven per cent. (23.27%) of the issued capital of the Company, and Mr Cui Wei is deemed to be a substantial Shareholder by reason of the

– 22 –

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

90,294,662 Shares held by Kingever Enterprises Limited. The entire Shares held by Kingever Enterprises Limited are registered in the Branch Register of Members in Hong Kong.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the substantial Shareholders would become obliged to make a take-over offer for the Company under Rule 14 as a result of the purchase or acquisition by the Company of the maximum limit of ten per cent. (10%) of its issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Shareholders who are in any doubt as to whether they would incur any obligations to make a take-over offer under the Singapore Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase or acquisition of Shares by the Company pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate are advised to consult their professional advisers and/or the Securities Industry Council at the earliest opportunity before they acquire any Shares in the Company during the period when the New Share Purchase Mandate is in force.

(B) Implications under the Hong Kong Takeovers Code

If, on the exercise of the power to purchase or acquire the Shares pursuant to the New Share Purchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Hong Kong Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Hong Kong 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 offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Hong Kong Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Kingever Enterprises Limited (which is wholly owned by Mr. Cui Wei) has an interest in 90,294,662 Shares, representing twenty-three point two-seven per cent. (23.27%) of the issued capital of the Company, and Mr. Cui Wei is deemed to be a substantial Shareholder by reason of the 90,294,662 Shares held by Kingever Enterprises Limited. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to purchase or acquire Shares under the New Share Purchase Mandate and if there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company, the shareholding of Kingever Enterprises Limited in the Company will be increased to approximately twenty-five point eight-six per cent (25.86%) of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Hong Kong Takeovers Code as a result of any purchases or acquisitions made under the New Share Purchase Mandate.

The Directors do not have a present intention to exercise the power to purchase or acquire the Shares to the extent which will trigger off the mandating offer requirement pursuant to the rules of the Hong Kong Takeovers Code.

  • (2) Ms. Zhang Zhong holds 100% of the total issued share capital of Wellahead Holdings Limited. Pursuant to Section 7 of the Companies Act, Ms. Zhang Zhong is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Wellahead Holdings Limited.

Shareholders should note that the figures in the above table are set out for illustrative purposes only and calculated on the assumption that (i) the maximum amount of ten per cent. (10%) of the Shares of the Company purchased under the New Share Purchase Mandate will be cancelled and (ii) there is no change in the number of Shares held or deemed to be held by the Directors and the substantial Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Kingever Enterprises Limited has an interest in 90,294,662 Shares, representing twenty-three point two-seven per cent. (23.27%) of the issued capital of the Company. Mr. Cui Wei is deemed to be a substantial Shareholder

– 25 –

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

by reason of the 90,294,662 Shares held by Kingever Enterprises Limited. Wellahead Holdings Limited has an interest in 28,082,525 Shares, representing seven point twofour per cent. (7.24%) of the issued capital of the Company. Ms. Zhang is deemed to be a substantial Shareholder by reason of the 28,082,525 Shares held by Wellahead Holdings Limited. In the event that the Company purchases a maximum of 38,800,000 Shares, being ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of Shares in issue, from the Shareholders other than Kingever Enterprises Limited and Wellahead Holdings Limited, the resultant shareholding interest of Kingever Enterprises Limited and Wellahead Holdings Limited in the Company would increase from twenty-three point two-seven per cent. (23.27%) and seven point two-four per cent. (7.24%) respectively to approximately twenty-five point eight-six per cent. (25.86%) and eight point zerofour per cent. (8.04%) respectively. Based on the foregoing and representations made by Kingever Enterprises Limited and Wellahead Holdings Limited to the Company,the New Share Purchase Mandate, even if fully utilized, would not trigger the provisions of the Singapore Takeovers Code requiring Kingever Enterprises Limited or Wellahead Holdings Limited, and/or persons acting in concert with them to incur an obligation to make a take-over offer under Rule 14 of the Singapore Takeovers Code.

Based on the above information, as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors and parties acting in concert with them will become obligated to make a general offer in the event that the Company purchases the maximum number of 38,800,000 Shares under the New Share Purchase Mandate. Based on the Register of Substantial Shareholders of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any substantial Shareholder and parties acting in concert with them who may become obligated to make a mandatory offer in the event that the Company purchases the maximum number of 38,800,000 Shares.

1.14 Directors, substantial shareholders, their associates and connected persons

None of the Directors nor substantial Shareholders, and to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their associates, have any present intention, in the event that the New Share Purchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, to sell Shares to the Company under the New Share Purchase Mandate.

No core connected persons of the Company has notified the Company that he or she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or that he or she has undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him or her to the Company, in the event that the New Share Purchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders at the AGM.
