EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Buy-back Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,379,160,187 ordinary Shares. Subject to the passing of resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate as set out in the AGM Notice and assuming that no Shares are issued, allotted or bought back by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 137,916,018 Shares, representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of resolution until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles or the Companies Law; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Buy-back Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever is the earliest.
2. REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS
Although the Directors have no present intention of buying back any Shares, the Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Buy-backs of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-backs will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. 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/or its earnings per share.
3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS
Buy-backs made pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association, the Articles, the Companies Law and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Under the Companies Law, buy-backs 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, out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Companies Law.
Any premium payable on buy-backs must be paid out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account before or at the time the Shares are bought back in the manner provided in the Companies Law.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
Taking into account of the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Buy-back Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the most recent published audited accounts.
However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
5. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING
None of the Directors, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their close associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power to make purchases pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles, the Companies Law and any other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is granted.
6. IMPLICATIONS OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT
If, as a result of a Share buy-back of the Company, 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 Takeovers Code.
Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
