EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit listed companies to repurchase their own shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which their shares may be listed and which is recognized by the SFC and the Stock Exchange for such purpose, subject to certain restrictions. This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Buyback Rules to be sent to Shareholders in connection with the proposed grant of the Repurchase Mandate, to provide the requisite information to Shareholders for their consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Whilst the Directors do not presently intend to repurchase any Shares immediately, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate granted to them if the Ordinary Resolution set out as Ordinary Resolution no. 5 of the AGM Notice is passed would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. It is proposed that up to 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares on the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate may be repurchased. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 726,962,500 Shares were issued and outstanding. On the basis of such figures, the Directors would be authorized to repurchase up to 72,696,250 Shares during the period up to the date of the next annual general meeting in 2025, or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable law to be held, or the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company, whichever of these three events occurs first.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not repurchase its own Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

– I-1 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors, and to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

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, nor have they undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

Neither this explanatory statement nor the repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

In the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has repurchased a total of 100,000 Shares on the Stock Exchange, details of which are as follows:

Number of **Price per ** Share Aggregate
Shares Highest price **Lowest ** price Consideration
Date of repurchase(s) repurchased paid paid paid
HK$ HK$ HK$
19 October 2023 100,000 7.48 7.41 744,945

– I-2 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

All Shares repurchased by the Company during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date have been cancelled.

Save as disclosed above, the Company did not repurchase any Shares on the Stock Exchange in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of its or their shareholding, 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. The Directors are aware of the consequences arising under the Takeovers Code of any repurchase.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, M3, Inc., a controlling Shareholder, was recorded in the register required to be kept by the Company under sections 336 and 352 of the SFO as having an interest in 267,540,000 Shares, representing approximately 36.80% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as at that date. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Tiantian Co., Limited, another controlling Shareholder, together with its shareholders and their respective parties acting in concert, hold in aggregate 275,219,500 Shares, representing approximately 37.86% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as at that date.
