APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2018 AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REASON FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

The Directors and to the best of the knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any close associates of the Directors, have no present intention to sell any Shares to the Company.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 4,391,065,028 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 6 of the notice of the 2018 AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the Shares in issue remains unchanged as at the date of the 2018 AGM, i.e. being 4,391,065,028 Shares, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, a maximum of 439,106,502 Shares, being 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of 2018 AGM. The Repurchase Mandate would expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or the applicable laws of Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

3. FUNDING AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Articles of the Company, the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

– 8 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of profits or the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. In accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Shares so repurchased would be treated as cancelled.

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2018 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.

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 or gearing position of the Company.

4. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

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 for the purpose of the Takeovers Code.

Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as that term is defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the ultimate controlling Shareholders, namely, Mr. Lee Cheong Yuen, Mr. Chan Kwok Pui, Mr. Yong Man Kin and Mr. Tam Kwok Wah, deemed as parties acting in concert, that together control 43.95% interest in the issued share capital of the Company through BIZ Cloud Limited, Cloud Gear Limited, Friends True Limited and Imagine Cloud Limited, respectively. As a result, each of the ultimate controlling Shareholders is deemed to be interested in such 1,930,000,000 Shares, representing 43.95% of the issued share capital of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the interest of the controlling Shareholders, in proportion, would be increased from approximately 43.95% to approximately 48.84% and the ultimate controlling Shareholders would be obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would give rise to an obligation on the part of the ultimate controlling Shareholders to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Moreover, the Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase

– 9 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Saved as aforesaid, the Board is not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that results in a public shareholding of less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the Company’s Shares in public hands.

5. LISTING RULES RELATING TO REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed and such exchange is recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Articles of the Company.

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors or, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is granted, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
