LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

Yours faithfully For and on behalf of the Board Putian Communication Group Limited Wang Qiuping Chairlady

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing securities on the Stock Exchange from a “core connected person”, that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective close associates and a core connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its securities to the Company.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is passed.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,100,000,000 fully paid Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are to be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 110,000,000 fully paid Shares.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of exercising the proposed Repurchase Mandate, the Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the proposed Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the Cayman Islands law and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company for such purpose.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 31 December 2020, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

– 8 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve calendar months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

	Highest	Lowest
	HK$	HK$
2020
April	1.50	1.25
May	1.40	1.18
June	1.25	0.69
July	0.91	0.79
August	0.80	0.74
September	0.79	0.63
October	0.79	0.66
November	0.94	0.66
December	0.90	0.80
2021
January	0.80	0.60
February	0.63	0.54
March	0.55	0.49
April (up to the Latest Practicable Date)	0.52	0.49

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM and exercised.

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

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

– 9 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Arcenciel Capital Co., Ltd and Point Stone Capital Co., Ltd are the only Shareholders who holds more than 10% of the issued Shares. Given that the shareholding of Arcenciel Capital Co., Ltd and Point Stone Capital Co., Ltd was about 69.75% in the Company, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would not result in any Shareholder becoming obliged to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Company will not repurchase Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

7. SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has repurchased any of the Company’s listed securities during the six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
