LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate. Conditional upon the above resolutions being passed, a separate resolution will be proposed to extend the Issue Mandate by adding to it the aggregate number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate. Details of these resolutions are contained in the AGM Notice.

Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued share capital of the Company is 47,705,977,729 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Issue Mandate on the date of passing the resolution approving the Issue Mandate will be 9,541,195,545 New Shares and the maximum number of New Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate on the date of the AGM will be 4,770,597,772 New Shares.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITOR

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 28 May 2019, KPMG will retire as the external auditor of the Company due to expiry of appointment, with effect from the close of the AGM.

KPMG was re-appointed as the Company’s auditor for the year ended 31 December 2018 at the Company’s special general meeting held on 22 August 2018 to hold office until the conclusion of the AGM.

China Minsheng Bank, the indirect controlling Shareholder of the Company, has proposed to appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers as its auditor for the year ended 2019, subject to its shareholders’ approval at its annual general meeting. With the expiry of KPMG’s service term, the Audit Committee considers that the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company’s auditor can align the audit work of the Group and China Minsheng Bank thereby enhancing the efficiency of the audit services to be provided to the Group and its controlling Shareholder. The Audit Committee of the Company has recommended that the Board proposes the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company’s auditor. Accordingly, the Board resolved to propose the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the new auditor of the Company to fill the vacancy following the retirement of KPMG and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, subject to approval of the Shareholders at the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued share capital of the Company is 47,705,977,729 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 4,770,597,772 New Shares, representing 10% of the New Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of the AGM.

2. SOURCE OF FUNDS

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Company’s constitutional documents and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated or otherwise established. Bermuda laws provide that funds used for a share repurchase may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the relevant Shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution, or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium, if any, payable on a repurchase 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 before the Shares are repurchased.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole 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 the 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 and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2018, being the date of the latest published audited financial statements of the Company) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. SHARES PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares of the Company have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the last twelve (12) months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2018
May 0.62 0.475
June 0.56 0.43
July 0.49 0.40
August 0.46 0.42
September 0.435 0.385
October 0.395 0.265
November 0.335 0.28
December 0.325 0.28
2019
January 0.345 0.27
February 0.32 0.295
March 0.305 0.275
April 0.295 0.237
May (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.27 0.232

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

The Directors are not aware of any other consequences, which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

To the best of the knowledge of the Directors, 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 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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 Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

9. REPURCHASES OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any Shares whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, in the six (6) months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

10. GENERAL

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchases on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchases would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the company’s issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors do not intend to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
