2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE ISSUANCE MANDATE AND ITS EXTENSION
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 20 June 2024, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to issue Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors intend to refresh the mandate at the Annual General Meeting.
At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution as contained in item 8 of the AGM Notice will be proposed to grant the Issuance Mandate. Its effect is to grant an unconditional and general authority to the Directors to allot, issue and dispose of Shares not exceeding 20% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the resolution. On the basis that the issued Shares on the date of the Annual General Meeting will remain to be 1,567,745,596 as it was on the Latest Practicable Date, the Issuance Mandate, if granted by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, will allow the Directors to allot and issue Shares up to an aggregate of 313,549,119 Shares.
In addition, an ordinary resolution as contained in item 10 of the AGM Notice will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting. Its effect is to extend the Issuance Mandate by the number of Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate provided that such Shares shall not exceed 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the resolution granting the Share Buy-back Mandate.
As prescribed by the Listing Rules, if the Company conducts a consolidation or subdivision of the Shares after the Issuance Mandate (as extended, if applicable) is granted, the maximum number of Shares that may be allotted and issued under the Issuance Mandate at the relevant time will be adjusted to a proportionate extent.
The Issuance Mandate (as extended, if applicable), if granted, will be in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-Laws or any applicable laws to be held or the revocation or variation of the Issuance Mandate (as extended, if applicable) by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever is the earliest.
3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 20 June 2024, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to buy back Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors intend to refresh the mandate at the Annual General Meeting.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution as contained in item 9 of the AGM Notice will be proposed to grant the Share Buy-back Mandate. Its effect is to grant an unconditional and general authority to the Directors to exercise the powers to buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other recognised stock exchange not exceeding 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the resolution. On the basis that the issued Shares on the date of the Annual General Meeting will remain to be 1,567,745,596 as it was on the Latest Practicable Date, the Share Buy-back Mandate, if granted by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, will allow the Directors to buy back a maximum of 156,774,559 Shares.
As prescribed by the Listing Rules, if the Company conducts a consolidation or subdivision of the Shares after the Share Buy-back Mandate is granted, the maximum number of Shares that may be bought back under the Share Buy-back Mandate at the relevant time will be adjusted to a proportionate extent.
The Share Buy-back Mandate, if granted, will be in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-Laws or any applicable laws to be held or the revocation or variation of the Share Buy-back Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever is the earliest.
An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.
4. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with Bye-Law 99 of the Bye-Laws, every Director shall retire from office no later than the third annual general meeting after he/she was last elected or re-elected. If the number of the Directors so retiring is less than one-third (or the number nearest one-third if the total number of the Directors is not three or a multiple of three) of the Directors for the time being, then additional Director(s) who has been longest in office since his/her last election or re-election (and as between persons who became Directors on the same day shall, unless they otherwise agree between themselves, be determined by lot) shall retire from office by rotation to make up the shortfall so that one-third (or the number nearest one-third if the total number of the Directors is not three or a multiple of three) of the Directors will retire at each annual general meeting.
Mr. Wang Hai will retire from office by rotation and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reference is also made to the announcement of the Company dated 10 March 2025 which announced, among other things, the appointment of Ms. Li Li Hua, Mr. Moy Yee Wo Matthew and Dr. Xie Wensi as independent non-executive Directors. Pursuant to Bye-Law 102(B) of the Company's Bye-Laws, Ms. Li, Mr. Moy and Dr. Xie who were appointed by the Board to fill casual vacancies shall hold office until the next following general meeting of the Company after their appointments and be subject to re-election at such meeting. Accordingly, Ms. Li, Mr. Moy and Dr. Xie shall retire and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Company.
Pursuant to code provision B.3.4 of the Corporate Governance Code contained in Appendix C1 of the Listing Rules, where the board proposes a resolution to elect an individual as an independent non-executive director at the general meeting, it should set out in the circular (among others): (i) the process used for identifying the individual and why the board believes the individual should be elected and the reasons why it considers the individual to be independent; (ii) if the proposed independent non-executive director will be holding their seventh (or more) listed company directorship, why the board believes the individual would still be able to devote sufficient time to the board; (iii) the perspectives, skills and experience that the individual can bring to the board; and (iv) how the individual contributes to diversity of the board.
Nomination Procedures
The Nomination Committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") is primarily responsible for identifying and nominating, for approval by the Board, suitably qualified candidates to become members of the Board as additional directors or to fill casual vacancies. The Nomination Committee identifies candidates for directorship from various channels, including but not limited to internal promotion and referral by management. The Nomination Committee may also receive nomination of candidates for election as Director(s) from Shareholder(s). After the candidate(s) is identified, the Nomination Committee will consider the biographical information of the candidate(s) and evaluate the candidate(s) based on certain criteria as set out in the nomination policy of the Company to determine whether such candidate is qualified for directorship and make recommendation to the Board accordingly.
For re-election of any existing member of the Board, the Nomination Committee shall evaluate the candidate(s) based on certain criteria as set out in the nomination policy of the Company and make recommendations to the Board for its consideration and recommendation for the candidate(s) to stand for re-election at general meeting.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The following criteria are taken into consideration in evaluating and selecting candidate(s) for directorship(s):
- character and integrity of the candidate
- qualifications including professional qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience of the candidate that are relevant to the business and corporate strategy of the Group
- willingness to devote adequate time to discharge duties as a Board member and other directorships and significant commitments
- requirement for the Board to have independent non-executive directors in accordance with the Listing Rules and whether the candidate would be considered independent with reference to the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules
- the board diversity policy of the Company
- such other perspectives appropriate to the Company's business
In reviewing the size, structure and composition of the Board and in proposing individuals for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting, the Nomination Committee considered the Board diversity from a number of factors, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional and industry experience, skills, knowledge and time commitments. All Board appointments will be based on merit, and candidates will be considered against criteria including character and integrity, skills and experience as may be necessary for the operation of the Board as a whole, with a view to maintaining a sound balance of the Board's composition.
The Nomination Committee has evaluated Ms. Li Li Hua, Mr. Moy Yee Wo Matthew and Dr. Xie Wensi (the independent non-executive Directors to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting) against the selection criteria mentioned above and has considered their academic background, extensive professional and working experiences as set out in Appendix I to this circular. The Nomination Committee and the Board noted that the perspectives and skills Ms. Li, Mr. Moy and Dr. Xie have gained through their educational backgrounds, extensive experiences and practices in different fields, including economics, financial management, finance, capital markets and governance, allow them to provide valuable and relevant insights and contribute to the diversity of the Board, which also bring the appropriate professional qualifications and accounting and related financial management expertise to the Company. Mr. Moy is a director of three other listed companies, and the Board is of the view that he is able to bring his insights and experience as a director of other listed companies to the Board and that he can give sufficient time and attention to the Company's affairs. The Board has greatly benefited from their contributions as an independent

non-executive Director and chair/member of relevant Board committees of the Company. The Nomination Committee has also assessed the independence of Ms. Li, Mr. Moy and Dr. Xie and considers that they have satisfied the criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. To the best knowledge of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is not aware of any matters or events that may occur and affect the independence of each of Ms. Li, Mr. Moy and Dr. Xie as independent non-executive Directors.
In view of the above, the Board believes that the re-election of Mr. Li Li Hua, Mr. Moy Yee Wo Matthew and Dr. Xie Wensi as independent non-executive Director would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Biographical details of the retiring Directors offering themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
This explanatory statement contains the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules. Its purpose is to provide Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant the Share Buy-back Mandate.
- SHARE BUY-BACK PROPOSAL
Under the Listing Rules, all the Shares proposed to be bought back by the Company shall be fully paid up. All proposed buy-back of the shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval of a specific transaction.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,567,745,596 Shares.
If the Share Buy-back Mandate is granted, and on the basis that the number of the issued Shares on the date of the Annual General Meeting will remain to be 1,567,745,596 as it was on the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors would be authorised to buy back, during the period in which the Share Buy-back Mandate remains in force, up to 156,774,559 Shares, representing 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the Annual General Meeting. If the Company conducts a consolidation or subdivision of the Shares while the Share Buy-back Mandate is in force, the maximum number of Shares that may be bought back under the Share Buy-back Mandate at the relevant time will be adjusted to a proportionate extent as prescribed by the Listing Rules.
- REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy back the Shares in the market.
Such buy-backs of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such buy-backs in circumstances where they consider them to be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
- 18 -
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK
Under the Listing Rules, buy-backs of the Shares by the Company must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose. In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws, the applicable laws of Hong Kong and Bermuda and the Listing Rules, as the case may be.
The Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share buy-back may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or out of the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium payable on buy-back may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company. Further, the Company cannot purchase its own shares if on the date on which the purchase is to be effected, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the purchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.
4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK
The exercise in full of the Share Buy-back Mandate might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company. The Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
5. GENERAL
To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company.
The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda. All Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate will be cancelled. Neither the Explanatory Statement nor the Share Buy-back Mandate has any unusual features.
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
Pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code, if as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back 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 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Great Wall Pan Asia (BVI) Holding Limited (“GWPA(BVI)”) is a substantial Shareholder of the Company which is directly interested in 1,174,018,094 Shares, representing approximately 74.89% of the total issued share capital of the Company. GWPA(BVI) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Wall International, which is in turn wholly-owned by GWAMCC.
In the event of the Directors exercising in full the power to buy back Shares under the Share Buy-back Mandate, the aggregate shareholding of GWPA(BVI), Great Wall International and GWAMCC would be increased to approximately 83.21% of the total issued share capital of the Company (if GWPA(BVI) does not participate in such buy-back).
The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required under the Listing Rules.
7. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not bought back any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the 6 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
