PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
In the interest of all attendees’ health and safety and consistent with recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the Annual General Meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, the Company strongly recommends Shareholders to use proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, to exercise their voting rights by appointing the chairman of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the Annual General Meeting instead of attending the Annual General Meeting in person.
For Shareholders, authorised corporate representatives, proxies or other attendees choosing to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, please note that the Company has been informed by the management company of Sun Hung Kai Centre (the “Building”) that there will be compulsory body temperature screening at the lobby of the Building in respect of all persons visiting the Building and any person with fever may not be given access to the Building, in which case you will not be allowed to attend the Annual General Meeting. The Company is supportive of these efforts given the development of COVID-19 and, in addition, will implement the following precautionary measures at the Annual General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other attendees from the risk of infection:
-
(i) Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, authorised corporate representative, proxy and other attendee at the entrance of the Annual General Meeting venue.

-
(ii) All Shareholders, authorised corporate representatives, proxies and other attendees are required to complete and submit at the entrance of the Annual General Meeting venue a declaration form confirming their names and contact details, and confirming that they are not subject to, or to their best of knowledge had contact with any person who is subject to, quarantine arrangements whether in a quarantine centre or not (as per the Guidelines on Prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) for the General Public issued by the Hong Kong government accessible at www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html) and had no physical contact with a suspected COVID-19 patient in the preceding 14 days. Any person who does not comply with this requirement may be denied entry into the Annual General Meeting venue or be required to leave the Annual General Meeting venue.
-
(iii) All attendees displaying common cold or flu symptoms may be denied entry into the Annual General Meeting venue or be required to leave the Annual General Meeting venue.
-
(iv) All attendees are required to wear surgical face masks at the Annual General Meeting venue at all times, maintain a safe distance between seats and observe good personal hygiene.

-
(v) No refreshments or drinks will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
The following is the explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide requisite information to the Shareholders for consideration of the proposal to approve the Share Repurchase Mandate.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 2,776,833,835. Subject to the passing of Ordinary Resolution No. 8 in the Annual General Meeting Notice approving the Shares Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 277,683,383 Shares, being 10% of the issued shares of the Company, from the date of the approval up to the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, (ii) the expiry of the period within the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Bye-laws to be held, and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.
REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares. The Directors believe that the Share Repurchase Mandate would give the Company additional flexibility where the situation warrants the repurchase of Shares and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an enhancement of the Company’s net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made in circumstances which the Directors believe are appropriate and for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
Repurchases must be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Bye-laws and the laws and regulations of Bermuda. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase could be derived from the distributable profits, the share premium and/or contributed surplus, if any, of the Company.
– 9 –
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
In the event that the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, there could be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position as disclosed in the Company’s most recently published audited financial statements contained in the Annual Report 2019). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
EFFECT OF TAKEOVER CODE
If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, 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 purposes Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, 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.
– 10 –
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Kui Man Chun, directly and indirectly, beneficially held 645,733,636 Shares, representing approximately 23.25% of the issued Shares. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Share Repurchase Mandate (assuming the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date remains unchanged), the shareholding of Mr. Kui Man Chun in the Company could increase to approximately 25.84% of the issued shares of the Company, but such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Share Repurchase Mandate. The Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that the public shareholding of the Company would be reduced to less than 25% of the issued shares of the Company.
The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:
| Share prices (per Share) | Share prices (per Share) | |
|---|---|---|
| Months | Lowest | Highest |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2019 | ||
| March | 1.25 | 1.42 |
| April | 1.31 | 1.44 |

| June | 1.10 | 1.29 |
| July | 1.25 | 1.45 |
| August | 1.26 | 1.43 |
| September | 1.27 | 1.43 |
| October | 1.26 | 1.59 |
