Pursuant to the ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders of the Company passed by the Company on June 17, 2022, the Directors were granted general unconditional mandates to allot, issue and deal with Shares and to buy back Shares. Such general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed:

  • (a) to grant the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the total Shares of the Company in issue as at the date of passing such resolution;

  • (b) to grant the Directors a general mandate to buy back issued Shares not exceeding 10% of the total Shares of the Company in issue as at the date of passing such resolution; and

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue is 2,371,927,200 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolutions approving the Issue Mandate and the Shares Buy-Back Mandate and assuming no further Shares are issued or bought back or cancelled prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed to issue up to 474,385,440 Shares and to buy back a maximum of 237,192,720 Shares.

The Issue Mandate and Shares Buy-Back Mandate will end on the earliest of the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws and regulations, or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, an explanatory statement is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide you with requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed resolution approving the grant of the Shares Buy-Back Mandate at the AGM.

3. RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, at every annual general meeting of the Company one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to, but not less than, one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. Any

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Director appointed pursuant to Article 16.2 or Article 16.3 shall not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors and which Directors are to retire by rotation. A retiring Director shall retain office until the close of the meeting at which he retires and shall be eligible for re-election thereat. The Company at any annual general meeting at which any Directors retire may fill the vacated office by electing a like number of persons to be Directors.

In accordance with Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Cheng Lin, Mr. Hu Jiawei and Mr. Fang Hongwei shall retire from office at the AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

In accordance with Article 16.2 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Huang Boyang (appointed on March 31, 2023), will hold office until the next annual general meeting immediately after his appointment and shall then be eligible for re-election.

In accordance with Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Huang Boyang shall retire from office at the AGM and, being eligible, will offer himself for re-election at the AGM.

When selecting the candidates for the Board, the Nomination Committee strives to achieve Board diversity by considering a number of factors, including but not limited to professional experience, skills, knowledge, gender, age, cultural and educational background, ethnicity and tenure of service.

Based on the relevant work experience of Mr. Cheng Lin, Mr. Hu Jiawei, Mr. Fang Hongwei and Mr. Huang Boyang, the Nomination Committee believes that the re-appointment of them can ensure the competencies of the Board in corporate management, financing skills, compliance and governance, etc.

The Nomination Committee has assessed the independence of all independent nonexecutive Directors, including Mr. Fang Hongwei and Mr. Huang Boyang. All the independent non-executive Directors have satisfied the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules when their written confirmations of independence submitted to the Company are reviewed. The Board believes that Mr. Fang Hongwei and Mr. Huang Boyang have devoted sufficient time to performing their duties as independent non-executive Directors of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

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

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company amounted to HK$23,719.272, comprising 2,371,927,200 Shares of HK$0.00001 each.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in resolution numbered 4 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the grant of the Shares Buy-Back Mandate, on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company (i.e. 2,371,927,200 Shares) as at the date of the AGM remains unchanged, the Directors would be authorised under the Shares Buy-Back Mandate to buy back, during the period in which the Shares Buy-Back Mandate remains in force, up to 237,192,720 Shares, representing 10% of the total issued Shares as at the date of the AGM.

2. REASONS FOR SHARES BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the granting by shareholders of a general mandate to the directors to buy back Shares in the market is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Shares Buy-Back will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy back will be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Such buy-back may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an enhancement of the Company and its net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share.

3. FUNDING OF SHARES BUY-BACK

The Company is authorised under its Articles of Association to buy back its Shares. In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Directors shall not buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange for non-cash consideration or by means of settlement other than as provided for under the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Any buy back of Shares will be financed out of the profits or share premium of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made in connection with the buy-back or, if the Cayman Companies Act is complied with, out of capital; if any premium is payable on a buy-back of Shares, it shall be paid out of the profits of the Company or out of amounts standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if the Cayman Companies Act is complied with, out of capital.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

4. IMPACT OF SHARES BUY-BACK

The Directors consider that even if the Shares Buy-Back Mandate is to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period, it would not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing levels of the Company (as compared with the financial position disclosed in its latest audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022). However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Shares Buy-Back Mandate to such extent as it would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

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

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell the Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Shares Buy-Back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

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 powers of the Company to make buy-back under the Shares Buy-Back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. EFFECT OF THE 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 shall be treated as an acquisition pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Therefore, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge and belief, none of them is aware that any Shares buy-back pursuant to the Shares Buy-Back Mandate would result in any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert being required to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The Directors do not intend to exercise the Shares Buy-Back Mandate to such an extent as to trigger an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or to result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

8. SHARES BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased or sold any of the Company’s listed securities. The Company cancelled 5,341,000 Shares which were repurchased by the Company in 2021 on April 26, 2022.

Save as disclosed above, during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares had been bought back by the Company, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.

9. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange during twelve months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
