LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES

The Company’s existing mandates to issue and repurchase shares were approved by its Shareholders on 20 June 2023. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandates to issue and repurchase shares will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors new general mandates:

  • (i) to allot, issue and deal with new shares (and/or securities) of the Company not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM; and

  • (ii) to repurchase shares not exceeding 10% of total number of Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of passing the relevant resolution at the AGM.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to add to the Issue Mandate those Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue were 748,366,000 Shares. The Board wishes to state that as of the Latest Practicable Date, it has no immediate plan to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information for considering the proposal to grant the Directors the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The following Directors will retire, and will stand for re-election at the AGM:

  • (a) Ms. Liu Yu (executive Director), Ms. Qi Jianrong (executive Director) and Mr. Yang Guobin (non-executive Director). They were appointed as Directors on 26 October 2023. They will hold office until the conclusion of the AGM, and shall be eligible for re-election pursuant to Article 112 of the Articles.

  • (b) Ms. Wong Wai Ling (independent non-executive Director), Professor Lam Sing Kwong Simon (independent non-executive Director) and Mr. Chu Wing Yiu (independent non-executive Director). They will retire by rotation, and shall be eligible for re-election pursuant to Article 108(a) of the Articles.

Individuals proposed for re-election are selected with reference to the requirements of the Articles and the rotation cycle of Directors’ re-election. Each of the above Directors has offered himself/herself for re-election at the AGM. Their biographies are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The re-elections of the each of the retiring Director proposed for re-election were considered and recommended to the Board by the Nomination Committee. In reaching its recommendations, the Nomination Committee considered the overall composition of the Board, its structure, size and various

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

diversity aspects (including gender, age, cultural, educational background, ethnicity, professional experience and length of service) with reference to the Board diversity policy, and the suitability of the retiring Directors with reference to the Company’s nomination policy. In assessing individual suitability, the Nomination Committee considered (among other things) the integrity and background (including qualification, knowledge, skills and experiences) of each of the retiring Directors, their contribution to the Board and participation in the Company’s affairs (including their attendance rate to meetings of the Board and its committees), their willingness to devote sufficient time and commitment to discharge duties, and (with respect to the retiring independent non-executive Directors) their independence.

In particular, the Nomination Committee noted:

  • (1) the crucial roles and responsibilities of Ms. Liu and Ms. Qi, and their firm commitments to the Group. Each of them is instrumental to the stability, business operations and implementation of strategy of the Group;

  • (2) Mr. Yang’s rich experience in corporate management, the valuable contributions he has made to the Board and his constructive opinions; and

  • (3) Each of Ms. Wong, Professor Lam and Mr. Chu has confirmed her/his fulfilment of all the factors for assessing independence set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. (a) Ms. Wong’s in-depth knowledge in accounting, audit, taxation and business, and her rich experience of acting as directors of listed issuers; (b) Professor Lam is a learned professor in management and business strategy; and (c) Mr. Chu is equipped with rich management experience. Each of them has been making valuable contributions to the Company by bringing in fresh perspectives and providing constructive opinions from their respective specialised fields and professional perspectives. The Nomination Committee considers that having Ms. Wong, Professor Lam and Mr. Chu as members of the Board will benefit the development of the Company, and contribute to the diversity to the Board.

Ms. Wong and Professor Lam have been serving as independent non-executive Directors for more than nine years. In accordance with code provision B.2.3 of Part 2 of the Corporate Governance Code set out in Appendix C1 of the Listing Rules, their re-election will be subject to separate resolutions to be approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

The Nomination Committee noted that each of Ms. Wong, Professor Lam and Mr. Chu does not hold any cross-directorships nor has any significant links with other Directors through involvement in other companies or bodies, and has not been involved in any executive role or functions in the daily management of the Company, and is not in any business or other relationship which would interfere with their exercise of independent judgement. The Nomination Committee is satisfied with the independence of each of Ms. Wong, Professor Lam and Mr. Chu having regard to the criteria laid down under Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board for the re-election of each of the above retiring Directors. The Board concurred and accepted the nomination and recommendation of the Nomination Committee. The Board is of the view that each of the retiring Directors is valuable to, and will continue to generate contribution to, the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Board considers it is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to re-elect each of these retiring Directors at the AGM.

Each of Ms. Liu, Ms. Wong and Professor Lam has abstained from voting when their respective re-election was considered by the Nomination Committee, and each of the Director candidates proposed for re-election has abstained from voting regarding their respective re-election when it was considered by the Board.

AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING M&A AND ADOPTION OF THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED M&A

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 20 May 2024.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This explanatory statement contains information required by the Listing Rules to be presented to the Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors.

1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange or on another stock exchange recognised for this purpose by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders by an ordinary resolution in a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares of the Company in issue were 748,366,000 Shares and the Company did not have any treasury shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution set out in the AGM Notice (i.e. ordinary resolution no. 10) and on the basis that there being no change to the total number of issued Shares prior to the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 74,836,600 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution).

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from its Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market and the Directors may, subject to market conditions and the capital needs of the Company at the relevant time of the repurchase, resolve to cancel the shares repurchased or hold them as treasury shares. While Shares repurchased for cancellation may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset per Share and/or earnings per Share, Shares repurchased and held by the Company as treasury shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, the Articles, and the laws of the Cayman Islands. Such repurchase will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

4. FUNDING AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase will be made from funds which are legally available for such purposes in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, the Listing Rules the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Directors consider that there would not be any material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position as at 31 December 2023, as disclosed in the Company’s most recent published audited accounts) in the event the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not

– I-1 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. TAKEOVERS CODES

If as a result of a repurchase of 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 purposes of the Takeovers Codes. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Codes) could, depending on the level of increase of shareholders’ interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Codes.

So far as the Board is aware of, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Pacific Climax Limited (“ Pacific Climax ”) held 530,894,000 Shares (representing approximately 70.94% of the total number of issued Shares), and its shareholding would be increased to approximately 78.82% in the event of full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors are not aware of any consequences of such repurchases of Shares that would result in a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Codes if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent which would render the any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer.

6. REPURCHASE MADE IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS

The Company had not repurchased its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

– I-2 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

7. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

March 0.202 0.168
April 0.196 0.15
May (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.24 0.161

8. GENERAL

None of the Directors and, to the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquires, any of their respective close associates have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders. The Company has not been notified by any of its core connected persons that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, and none of the Company’s core connected persons have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The power of the Company to make repurchase (if exercised by the Directors) will be exercised pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in the public shareholding of the Company falling below the minimum public float requirement and will ensure that the Company shall comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules, including the minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands when exercising the Repurchase Mandate.

The Company confirmed that neither this Explanatory Statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
