EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration of the proposed resolution in relation to the Share Buy-back Mandate and also constitutes the memorandum required under section 239 of the Companies Ordinance.

THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

(a) Listing Rules

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their fully-paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. The Listing Rules provide that all on-market share buy-backs made by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by specific approval of a particular transaction or by a general mandate to the Directors to make such buy-backs.

(b) Share capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 4,387,628,409 Shares in issue. If the ordinary resolution authorising the Share Buy-back Mandate is passed at the AGM, and assuming that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the AGM, up to 438,762,840 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution at the AGM, may be bought back by the Company.

(c) Reasons for buy-back

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to have a general mandate from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy back Shares in the market. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset 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-backs will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

(d) Funding of buy-back

Buy-back pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate would be funded out of the available cash and/or working capital of the Company. The funds employed by the Company in connection with a buy-back of Shares would be those legally available for such purpose under the Articles of Association and the Companies Ordinance. The Companies Ordinance provides that the amount of capital employed in connection with a share buy-back may only be paid from the distributable profits of the Company and/or proceeds of a new issue of Shares, made for the purpose of buy-back to such an extent allowable under the Companies Ordinance.

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2024) in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company at the time of the relevant buy-back unless the Directors determined that such buyback were, taking account of all relevant factors, in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(e) General

None of the Directors or, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Share Buy-back Mandate if such Share Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Hong Kong.

Neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

No core connected persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or having undertaken not to do so in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

– 9 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The Company did not buy back any Shares in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

If, as a result of a share buy-back, 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 purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, could, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register maintained under section 336 of the SFO, Mr. Ji Kaiping (“ Mr. Ji ”), the chairman of the Board and an executive Director, is interested in 972,500,000 Shares held through Thousand Joy Limited, a company wholly-owned by Mr. Ji, representing approximately 22.16% of the total voting rights of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Ji would be increased to approximately 24.63%. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy-backs made under the Share Buy-back Mandate.

The Company has no present intention to buy back Shares to such extent as to result in the obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code will be triggered and will not effect buy-back to such an extent which will result in the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25% as required by the Listing Rules.
