APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
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 2022 AGM in relation to the granting of the Buyback Mandate.
1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Directors believe that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Buyback Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 407,686,859 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 11 of the notice of the 2022 AGM in respect of the granting of the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the 2022 AGM, i.e. being 407,686,859 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force, 40,768,685 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the 2022 AGM.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021) in the event that the Buyback Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time befitting the Company.
– 7 –
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE
5. TAKEOVERS CODE
If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback 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 Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Song Hongtao was deemed to be interested in 84,003,840 Shares, representing approximately 20.60% of the total issued share capital of the Company. 5,000,000 and 79,003,840 of these Shares were respectively held by Mr. Song himself and Mindas Touch Global Limited (‘‘Mindas Touch’’), which was wholly owned by Mr. Song.
On the basis that (i) the total issued share capital of the Company (being 407,686,859 Shares) remains unchanged as at the date of the 2022 AGM; and (ii) the total shareholding of Mr. Song and Mindas Touch in the Company (being 84,003,840 issued Shares) remains unchanged immediately after the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2022 AGM, the total shareholding interest of Mr. Song and Mindas Touch in the issued Shares would be increased to approximately 22.89% of the total issued share capital of the Company.
The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Buyback Mandate. However, the Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase of Shares on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the number of the Company’s issued shares would be in public hands. The Directors therefore would not propose to repurchase Shares if it would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
6. GENERAL
None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons 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 Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
– 8 –
APPENDIX I
