EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide requisite information for Shareholders to consider the Repurchase Mandate.
1. Share Capital
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,028,797,543 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 202,879,754 Shares (representing not more than 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution).
2. Reasons for Repurchases
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
3. Funding of Repurchases
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles and the Companies Ordinance. The Companies Ordinance provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid from the distributable profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase to such extent allowable under the Companies Ordinance.
In the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, the working capital or gearing position of the Company might be materially different as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts for the year ended 31 December 2008. However, the Directors do not propose 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
