EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution in relation to the Share Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

1. SHARE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares of the Company was 1,807,429,342. It is proposed that pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, up to a maximum of 10 per cent. of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the Share Repurchase Resolution may be repurchased by the Directors. Subject to the passing of the Share Repurchase Resolution, on the basis that no further Shares are issued prior to the Annual General Meeting and ignoring other restrictions (if any), the Company would be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 180,742,934 Shares.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases 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 earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the profits that would otherwise be available for dividend or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for dividend or out of the share premium or contributed surplus accounts of the Company.

The Directors propose that such repurchases of Shares would be appropriately financed by the Company’s internal resources and/or available banking facilities. There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 and taking into account the financial position of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, in the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

4. DIRECTORS’ CONFIRMATION AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

The Directors have confirmed that, so far as the same may be applicable, the exercise of the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Share Repurchase Resolution will be in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda. Neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed repurchase of the Shares has any unusual features.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have a present intention, in the event that the Share Repurchase Resolution is adopted by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares held by them to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of its Shares.

5. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of a share repurchase, any such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (depending on the level of increase of Shareholders’ interests) 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. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr WANG Wei was directly or indirectly interested in 972,698,478 Shares as disclosed under the SFO, which constituted approximately 53.82 per cent. of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. If the Share Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, which is considered to be unlikely in the current circumstances, Mr WANG Wei would (assuming that there is no change in relevant facts and circumstances) hold approximately 59.80 per cent. of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, KGL was directly or indirectly interested in 595,928,608 Shares as disclosed under the SFO, which constituted approximately 32.97 per cent. of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. If the Share Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, which is considered to be unlikely in the current circumstances, KGL would (assuming that there is no change in relevant facts and circumstances) hold approximately 36.63 per cent. of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. It is considered that, in the absence of any special circumstances, an obligation to make a mandatory offer as referred to above as a result of a share repurchase is unlikely to arise. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate.

6. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

There was no repurchase by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of the Shares during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
