At the annual general meeting of the Company held on May 19, 2017, general mandates were granted by the Company to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to issue Shares and buy back Shares. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors, therefore, propose to seek your approval of two ordinary resolutions respectively granting to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding, (i) in the case of an allotment and issue of Shares for cash, 5% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the date of passing the resolution (i.e. a maximum of 91,738,597 Shares on the assumption that no additional Shares will be issued and/or bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting); and (ii) in the case of an allotment and issue of Shares for a consideration other than cash, 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the date of passing the resolution (i.e. a maximum of 366,954,388 Shares on the assumption that no additional Shares will be issued and/or bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting less any Shares allotted and issued for cash) and adding to such general mandate so granted to the Directors any Shares representing the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares bought back by the Company after the granting of the general mandate to buy back up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing the Buy-back Resolution.

The full text of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the proposed grant of a general mandate to the Directors to issue Shares are set out in resolutions no. 5 and no. 7 in the Notice set out on pages 15 to 18 of this circular.

GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY BACK SHARES (RESOLUTION NO. 6 OF THE NOTICE)

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on May 19, 2017, a general mandate was given by the Company to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors, therefore, propose to seek your approval of the Buy-back Resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting. An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information of the Buy-back Resolution is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The full text of the Buy-back Resolution is set out in resolution no. 6 in the Notice set out on pages 17 to 18 of this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the buy-back of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Buy-back Resolution. This appendix also constitutes the memorandum required under Section 239 of the Companies Ordinance.

(1) BUY-BACK PROPOSAL

Resolution No. 6 to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting relates to the granting of a general mandate to the Directors to buy back Shares representing up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Buy-back Resolution at any time until the earlier of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association of the Company or any applicable laws to be held; or (c) the revocation or variation of the authority given under this resolution by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

The Shares to be bought back by the Company are fully paid up. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,834,771,941. Subject to the passing of the Buy-back Resolution and on the assumption that no additional Shares will be issued and/or bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the mandate to buy back a maximum of 183,477,194 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors believe that the Buy-back Resolution is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders. Trading conditions on the Stock Exchange have sometimes been volatile in recent years and there have been occasions when Shares were trading at a substantial discount to their underlying net asset value. Buy-back of Shares may enhance the Company’s net asset value per Share and earnings per Share. In these circumstances, the ability of the Company to buy back Shares can be beneficial to those Shareholders who retain their investment in the Company since their possible percentage interest in the assets of the Company would increase in proportion to the number of Shares bought back by the Company.

(2) FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

Buy-backs of Shares would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cashflow or working capital facilities. Any buy-backs of Shares will be made out of funds of the Company legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the laws of Hong Kong, including profits otherwise available for distribution. Under the Companies Ordinance, a company’s profits available for distribution are its accumulated, realised profits, so far as not previously utilised by distribution or capitalisation, less its accumulated, realised losses, so far as not previously written off in a reduction or reorganisation of capital duly made.

— 7 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts for the year ended December 31, 2017 in the event that the Buy-back Resolution was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Resolution to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital position of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

(3) UNDERTAKING OF DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the powers of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-back Resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

(4) DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates presently intend to sell Shares to the Company under the Buy-back Resolution in the event that the Buy-back Resolution is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares, nor that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Resolution is approved by the Shareholders.

(5) EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to buy back Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Resolution, a shareholder ’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Horst Julius Pudwill, together with his spouse and his controlled corporations, were beneficially interested in 366,613,294 Shares (excluding Share Options and Awarded Shares) representing approximately 19.98% of the issued share capital of the Company, Prof. Roy Chi Ping Chung GBS BBS JP, together with his controlled corporations, were beneficially interested in 49,005,948 Shares (excluding Share Options and excluding the 37,075,030 Shares held by Cordless Industries Company Limited, which is a company beneficially owned by Mr. Horst Julius Pudwill and Prof. Roy Chi Ping Chung GBS BBS JP and which Shares were included in the shareholdings of Mr. Horst Julius Pudwill controlled corporations as aforesaid) representing approximately 2.67% of the issued share capital of the Company and Mr. Stephan Horst Pudwill (son of Mr. Horst Julius Pudwill), together with his trust interest, were beneficially interested in 38,967,000 Shares (excluding Share Options) representing approximately 2.12% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares under the Buy-back Resolution, the shareholdings of Mr. Horst Julius Pudwill, Prof. Roy Chi Ping

— 8 —

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Chung GBS BBS JP and Mr. Stephan Horst Pudwill, together with their respective spouse, trust interest and controlled corporations in the Company, would be increased to approximately 22.20%, 2.97% and 2.36% of the issued share capital of the Company respectively, which would constitute an aggregate shareholding of 27.53% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the opinion of the Directors, an increase in such an aggregate shareholding shall not give rise to an obligation on the part of all of Mr. Horst Julius Pudwill, Prof. Roy Chi Ping Chung GBS BBS JP and Mr. Stephan Horst Pudwill, whom shall be consider as parties acting in concert pursuant to the Takeovers Code, to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Furthermore, the Company may not buy back Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
