PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

In view of the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

• (i) compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue;

• (ii) all attendees are required to wear surgical face masks inside the AGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and

• (iii) no refreshments will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders’ health and safety and to be consistent with the recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

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 47,668,797,729 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 4,766,879,772 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 2019, 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 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.

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.

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.
