APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the repurchase mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,888,405,690 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution and on the basis that no further Share is issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the repurchase mandate to repurchase a maximum of 188,840,569 Shares representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM. The Shares proposed to be repurchased by the Company must be fully-paid up.
The repurchase mandate may continue in force until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company for the year of 2014; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law to be held; and (iii) the revocation or variation of the repurchase mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the repurchase mandate is in the interests of 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 assets 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.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Bye-laws of the Company and the laws of Bermuda. It is presently proposed that any repurchase under the repurchase mandate would be repurchased out of the capital paid up on the repurchased Shares, the profits of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend, the Company’s share premium account and/or contributed surplus account in each case to the extent as permitted by the laws of Bermuda.
There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2012 in the event that the repurchase mandate was 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
— 8 —
APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE
would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
4. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before the printing of this circular were as follows:
| **Share ** | price | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2012 | ||
| April | 0.3800 | 0.3750 |
| May | 0.3850 | 0.3750 |
| June | 0.3850 | 0.3700 |
| July | 0.3800 | 0.3750 |
| August | 0.3800 | 0.3750 |
| September | 0.3850 | 0.3300 |
| October | 0.3850 | 0.3600 |
| November | 0.3900 | 0.3700 |
| December | 0.3750 | 0.3650 |
| 2013 | ||
| January | 0.3800 | 0.3500 |
| February | 0.3600 | 0.3450 |
| March | 0.3400 | 0.3000 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.3300 | 0.3100 |
5. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda so far as the same may be applicable and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum of association and the Bye-laws of the Company.
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company under the repurchase mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.
No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the repurchase mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
— 9 —
APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE
6. TAKEOVER CODE
If on exercise of the powers 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 of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeover Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeover 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 Takeover Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Prime Surplus Limited (“Prime Surplus”) is the largest shareholder of the Company beneficially interested in 447,053,620 Shares, representing approximately 23.67% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the repurchase mandate is exercised in full and no further Share is issued during the proposed repurchase period, the beneficial interest of Prime Surplus in the issued share capital of the Company will increase to approximately 26.30%. Accordingly, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeover Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the repurchase mandate.
7. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months prior to the printing of this circular.
