APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This is the explanatory statement required by rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to be given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorizing the Repurchase Mandate.
1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
On the basis of 798,085,844 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company before the AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could result in up to 79,808,584 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period from the passing of the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate up to the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; and (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Such funds include profits available for distribution.
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 latest published audited consolidated accounts for the year ended 31 December 2011) 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.
4. DIRECTORS AND CONNECTED PERSONS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors and their respective associates has a present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised, to sell Shares to the Company.
— 10 —
APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
No connected persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised.
5. UNDERTAKINGS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
6. TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights 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 a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s 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. A waiver of this provision would not normally be given except in extraordinary circumstances.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Company, Fangyi Collaboration Holdings Limited had an interest (within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO) of approximately 28.9% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, his aggregate interests would (assuming that there is no change in relevant circumstances) be increased to approximately 32.11% of the issued share capital of the Company. Fangyi Collaboration Holdings Limited will become obliged to make a mandatory offer to Shareholders under rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code as a result of repurchase of Shares.
In any event, the Directors have no present intention to repurchase Shares to such extent which will trigger the mandatory offer requirement pursuant to the Takeovers Code. The Directors will use their best endeavors to ensure the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent that the number of Shares held by the public would be reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.
