EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This explanatory statement contains all the information required under the Listing Rules for you to consider the Buy-back Mandate.

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to buy back their fully paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 1,087,211,600. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the date of the 2022 Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 108,721,160 Shares, representing 10 percent of the total number of Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date.

REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACKS

The Directors have no present intention to buy back any Shares and, whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance those circumstances in which the Directors might think it appropriate to buy back Shares, Shares would only be bought back in circumstances where the Directors consider that the buy-back would be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of earnings per Share.

SOURCE OF FUNDS

It is proposed that buy-backs of Shares under the Buy-back Mandate would be financed from internal funds and available banking facilities of the Company. In Share buy-backs, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with all applicable laws of Hong Kong and the Articles of Association of the Company.

WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

If the Buy-back Mandate was exercised in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period, it would not have a material adverse impact on the working capital of the Company or its gearing position (as compared with the position disclosed in the Company’s published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021). The Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital of the Company or its gearing position (as compared with the position disclosed in the Company’s published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021) which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

DIRECTORS AND THEIR ASSOCIATES

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined under the Listing Rules), has any present intention, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.

CONNECTED PERSONS

No Connected Persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares (in issue or to be issued) to the Company or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorized to make Share buy-backs.

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to buy back Shares pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Hong Kong and the regulations set out in the Articles of Association of the Company.

EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a buy-back of Shares, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert, could depending on the level of increase of such 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, SIIC through its subsidiaries, namely Shanghai Investment Holdings Limited, SIIC Capital (B.V.I.) Limited, Shanghai Industrial Financial (Holdings) Company Limited, SIIC Trading Company Limited and SIIC CM Development Limited held 519,409,748 Shares, 80,000,000 Shares, 52,908,000 Shares, 31,887,000 Shares and 10,000 Shares respectively, and is accordingly deemed to be interested in the respective Shares totaling 684,214,748 Shares held by the aforementioned companies, representing approximately 62.93 percent of the total number of Shares in issue.

Assuming no changes in the aforementioned shareholdings of the respective companies, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back the Shares, the shareholding of SIIC would be increased from approximately 62.93 percent to approximately 69.93 percent. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any consequences of any buy-back which would arise under the Takeovers Code. In addition, the Company will not buy back its Shares which will reduce the total number of Shares in issue in public hands to below 25 percent.
