APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide certain information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 9,262,591,250 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase up to 926,259,125 Shares, being 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the AGM, during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless by ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; (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 law to be held; and (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under this resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange. 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 its earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2014) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Board, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Company has not been notified by any Core Connected Person that such a person has a present intention to sell, or has undertaken not to sell, any Shares to the Company, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

7. EFFECT OF 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 of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, 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 Shareholders’ interest, 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Odjargal Jambaljamts and Mr. Od Jambaljamts, Directors, and eight other individuals who are altogether taken as parties acting in concert were interested in 4,044,815,478 Shares, representing approximately 43.67% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company and the shareholdings of the parties above mentioned, as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate, the percentage shareholdings of the parties above mentioned would be increased to approximately 48.52% of the issued share capital of the Company, thus giving rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares to such extent which would result in an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any other consequence which would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY

No Shares had been repurchased by the Company, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
