(3) INFORMATION ON PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Ordinary Resolutions:

Adoption of audited statutory accounts and consolidated financial statements of the Company and reports from the Directors and auditors for the year ended December 31, 2022

Under Luxembourg law, the Company is required to issue audited statutory accounts as a stand-alone entity which are separate from the consolidated financial statements, together with reports from the Directors and the approved statutory auditor (réviseur d'entreprises agréé).

Under Luxembourg law, the Company is also required to issue consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB IFRS") with a footnote reconciling to International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS"). There are no significant differences between these consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's annual report as required under the Listing Rules, although there are certain differences in the disclosures that are required as part of the Directors' report.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Together with this circular, Shareholders will receive copies of:

(a) the audited statutory accounts, including the Directors' report and approved statutory auditor's (réviseur d'entreprises agréé) report;

(b) the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IASB IFRS with a footnote reconciling to EU IFRS, including the Directors' report and the related approved statutory auditor's (réviseur d'entreprises agréé) report;

(c) the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IASB IFRS, including the related Directors' report and external auditor's report (which are included as part of the Company's annual report); and

(d) the report drawn up by the Board in accordance with Article 10.9 of the Articles of Incorporation relating to the conflict of interest of Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau in relation with (i) the decision made by the Board during the meeting held on November 23, 2022 to make certain modifications to the Share Ownership Guidelines that apply to him and certain other members of the Company's senior management team and (ii) the decision made by the Board on March 15, 2023, to propose to the Shareholders approval of the 2023 RSU Grant to him under the Share Award Scheme, due to the fact that new Shares may be issued upon the vesting of RSUs that may be granted to him (the "Conflict of Interest Report").

It is proposed that these statutory accounts and consolidated financial statements be adopted by the Shareholders.

2. Approval of the allocation of results of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022

It is proposed that the results of the Company on the audited statutory accounts for the year ended December 31, 2022 will be allocated as recommended to the Shareholders by the Board of Directors.

3. Re-election of retiring Directors

In accordance with the code provision B.2.2 as set out in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, every director, including those appointed for a specific term, should be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. In addition, in accordance with Article 8.1 of the Articles of Incorporation, the Directors shall be elected by Shareholders at a general meeting, which shall determine their number and term of office. The term of office of a Director shall be up to three years, upon the expiry of which each shall be eligible for re-election.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Accordingly, Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau, Mr. Tom Korbas and Ms. Ying Yeh will retire by rotation, and being eligible, (i) Mr. Gendreau and Mr. Korbas offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting for a proposed term of three years expiring upon the holding of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2026 and (ii) Ms. Yeh offers herself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting for a proposed term of one year expiring upon the holding of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2024. The re-election of each of these Directors will be voted on by Shareholders individually at the Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee of the Board will engage an executive search firm to help identify suitable candidates for consideration for appointment as an independent non-executive Director prior to or upon Ms. Yeh’s retirement from the Board in 2024.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company’s Board Diversity Policy and the Company’s policy for the nomination of Directors as set forth in the Terms of Reference of the Nomination Committee, the Company’s corporate strategy, and the independence of all independent non-executive Directors. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board the re-election of Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau, Mr. Tom Korbas and Ms. Ying Yeh.

Details of the retiring Directors proposed for re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

Renewal of the mandate granted to KPMG Luxembourg to act as approved statutory auditor (réviseur d'entreprises agréé) of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2023 and, subject to the adoption by the Extraordinary General Meeting of the modification of Article 13.2 of the Articles of Incorporation, authorization of the Board to fix the remuneration of the approved statutory auditor as from the financial year starting January 1, 2024.

and 7. Proposed grant of general mandates to repurchase and issue Shares

At the annual general meeting of the Shareholders of the Company held on June 2, 2022, general mandates were granted to the Directors to issue and repurchase Shares respectively. Such mandates will lapse on the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation; or (iii) the time when such mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.

In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue and repurchase Shares if and when appropriate, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve:

(a) the granting of a general mandate (the "Issuance Mandate") to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with additional Shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as of the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in paragraph 6 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 32 to 38 of this circular (i.e. a total of 144,317,859 Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting), such Shares to be issued for cash or non-cash consideration at a discount of not more than 10% to the Benchmarked Price of the Shares; and

(b) the granting of a general mandate (the "Share Buy-back Mandate") to the Directors to purchase Shares on the Stock Exchange not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as of the date of passing of proposed ordinary resolution contained in paragraph 7 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 32 to 38 of this circular (i.e. a total of 144,317,859 Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting) within the limits referred to below.

10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board is recommending the granting of the Issuance Mandate for a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as of the date of the passing of proposed ordinary resolution, and Shares issued for cash or non-cash consideration under the Issuance Mandate will be subject to a maximum discount of 10% to the Benchmarked Price of the Shares, as opposed to the maximum limit of 20% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company and the maximum discount of 20% to the Benchmarked Price of the Shares permitted under the Listing Rules.

In order to comply with the provisions of Luxembourg Companies Law which requires, among others, any purchase of Shares by the Company to be, without prejudice to the principle of equal treatment of all Shareholders who are in the same position, within a specified price range approved by the Shareholders, it is proposed that the Board would only exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to purchase any Shares within a price range of HK$5 and HK$40 per Share. In addition, in order to comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the maximum price at which the Company may purchase any Shares will not be higher by 5% or more than the average closing market price of the Shares on the Stock Exchange for the five trading days preceding the date of purchase of any such Shares. The price range referred to above should not be taken as any indication by the Board as to their views on the price at which the Shares may be traded on the Stock Exchange in the future (which is subject to, among others, the performance of the Company and market and other conditions which are not within the control of the Company) but is provided simply to facilitate a possible purchase by the Company of the Shares on the Stock Exchange in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

The Board notes that under Luxembourg Companies Law, the Company is permitted to elect to hold in treasury any Shares it repurchases and such treasury Shares may subsequently be sold for cash, transferred pursuant to an employees' share scheme or cancelled. However, under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to cancel any Shares purchased by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following such purchase, unless a waiver of this requirement is granted by the Stock Exchange. The Board further notes that under Luxembourg Companies Law, any share cancellation and consecutive share capital decrease will require the holding of an extraordinary general meeting of the Shareholders to approve such cancellation and share capital decrease. If the Company purchases any Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate and unless the waiver referred to above is granted by the Stock Exchange to permit the Company to hold treasury Shares, an extraordinary general meeting of the Shareholders will be convened to approve the cancellation and share capital decrease in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

With reference to the Share Buy-back Mandate and Issuance Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase any Shares or issue any new Shares pursuant thereto.

11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Recommendation in Relation to the Proposed Ordinary Resolutions Contained in Paragraphs 1 to 7 of the Notice of the Annual General Meeting

The Directors are of the view that the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in paragraphs 1 to 7 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting, including (i) the re-election of the retiring Directors and (ii) granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and the Issuance Mandate, are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favor of all of the above proposed ordinary resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.

8. Proposed 2023 RSU Grant to Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau

(a) Background

The Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders for the Award of RSUs to be granted in 2023 to Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau, the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as described below. Notwithstanding that such 2023 RSU Grant will be made pursuant to the Share Award Scheme and within the existing dilution limits under the Share Award Scheme, the Listing Rules and the Share Award Scheme require Shareholders' approval to be obtained as such grant would exceed the 0.1% Individual Threshold above which grants require Shareholders' approval under the Listing Rules.

The terms of the 2023 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau as described below are consistent with the terms of the Awards granted to Mr. Gendreau that were approved by Shareholders in the years preceding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overview of the LTIP

The LTIP is a critical component of the Group's compensation program for Senior Managers and other employees. By providing the opportunity for financial reward based on long-term Company performance and long-term growth in Share value, it aligns the interests of the Group's management with the interests of the Shareholders, fosters a long-term commitment to the Group and aids in the retention of Senior Managers and other managers in an industry in which the market for talent is highly competitive.

The Remuneration Committee's policy is for the LTIP to support the Company's need to recruit, retain and motivate management in a manner that is consistent with generally accepted market practice for international branded consumer goods companies. While the Company's Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange, its business operations are global and many of the companies with which the Company competes for management

12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

talent are based and listed in the United States of America. In evaluating the LTIP relative to market practice, the Remuneration Committee notes that 6 of the 10 Senior Managers, including the current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are based in the United States of America, and the Company's joint corporate headquarters is located in the United States of America. In addition, the international companies that form part of the Company's Peer Group for the purpose of executive compensation benchmarking and LTIP design are also primarily companies that are based in and listed in the United States of America and were identified by the Remuneration Committee on the basis of comparable industry sectors, business operations with revenue, and market capitalization. The Remuneration Committee considers that in order to achieve the objectives of the LTIP – particularly with regard to recruitment and retention – it is appropriate to consider the LTIP in light of the practices of relevant international companies such as those in the Peer Group, which are primarily based in and listed in the United States of America, and with which the Company competes for talent both in the United States of America and internationally. Having reviewed the relevant executive compensation practices of the Company's Peer Group, the Remuneration Committee considers that the proposed 2023 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau as described in this circular are consistent with the relevant market practice.

Peer Group

The Peer Group for the purpose of the compensation of the Senior Managers (including the LTIP) currently consists of Hanesbrands Inc., Capri Holdings Limited, Tapestry, Inc., Under Armour, Inc., Fossil Group, Inc., Skechers U.S.A., Inc., Carter's, Inc., Wolverine World Wide, Inc., G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., Columbia Sportswear Company, Lululemon Athletica Inc., Steven Madden, Ltd., Deckers Outdoor Corporation, Prada S.p.A, Burberry Group plc, Hugo Boss AG, and L'Occitane International S.A.

The table below highlights how the Company's compensation philosophy is reflected in the LTIP:

What the Company does	What the Company does not do
☑ Independent administration: The Share Award Scheme is administered by the Remuneration Committee (the members of which are all independent non-executive Directors). No Directors involved in the administration of the Share Award Scheme are eligible to receive Awards.	☒ NED participation: Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the Share Award Scheme, meaning that no member of the Remuneration Committee is eligible to participate in the Share Award Scheme.

13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

What the Company does

☑ Employee incentivization: Senior Managers and other employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Share Award Scheme.

☑ Managed dilution: The Remuneration Committee actively manages the dilution resulting from LTIP awards to ensure levels of Equity Dilution are in-line with market expectations and the Company's Peer Group. In addition to the Scheme Mandate Limit of 5%, the Remuneration Committee's policy, adopted in 2018, is that annual dilution from LTIP awards will not exceed 1.25%. The Company may also utilize the Share Buy-back Mandate, an employee benefit trust, and/or other measures as appropriate to further mitigate the dilutive effect of the LTIP awards.

☑ Performance-based: A significant portion (50% of target LTIP Value) of a Senior Manager's awards is subject to performance conditions.

☑ Roll-over of awards on Change in Control: Awards roll-over into equivalent awards in case of a change in control of the Company, unless roll-over of awards is not permitted under applicable laws or not agreed by the acquirer.

What the Company does not do

☒ Dividends or dividend equivalents: Dividends or other cash distributions to Participants do not accrue until Shares underlying vested awards have been issued or transferred to Participants. The Share Award Scheme does not provide for dividend equivalents.

☒ Share recycling: Shares withheld to account for tax liabilities or exercise price are not added back to the plan limit.

☒ Reward for poor performance: Vesting of performance-based awards is reduced, or such awards may not vest at all, if performance targets established by the Remuneration Committee are not met.

☒ Single-trigger: Vesting of awards does not automatically accelerate as a result of a change in control of the Company alone, unless roll-over of awards is not permitted under applicable laws or not agreed by the acquirer.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

What the Company does

☑ Double-trigger: Following a change in control of the Company, the vesting of awards that have been rolled over will accelerate only upon involuntary termination of employment without cause or voluntary resignation for good reason, in each case within two years following the change in control.

☑ Long-term vesting: Performance-based awards are subject to a three-year cliff vesting period. Time-based awards are subject to a three or four-year pro rata vesting period.

☑ Malus & clawback: Malus and clawback provisions apply to performance-based awards granted to the CEO, CFO and certain other Senior Managers, to enable recoupment of performance-based equity compensation.

☑ Share ownership guidelines: The Board has adopted share ownership guidelines applicable to the CEO, CFO and certain other Senior Managers.

Historic LTIP implementation

During the years 2020 to 2022, in light of the challenges and uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting impacts on the Company's share price, and the difficulty of setting meaningful and reliable financial performance goals applicable to performance-related long-term incentive awards during the COVID-19 pandemic, in lieu of market-priced share options or performance-based or time-based RSUs, the Company granted Options with an exercise price that represented a significant premium to the market price of the Shares at the time of grant. By setting an exercise price for those options at a premium to the market price of the Shares (being 30% in 2020, 20% in 2021 and 10% in 2022), the Company believes that it has created a meaningful performance condition that is directly tied to the successful creation of future shareholder value and which allows the option holders to participate in the long-term creation of value for the Shareholders. The grants in each year were consistent with the Remuneration Committee's previously announced policy that the maximum Equity Dilution from all awards granted in each calendar year will not exceed 1.25% of the Company's issued share capital.

What the Company does not do

☑ Acceleration upon termination: Unvested awards will normally lapse upon termination of employment, other than in case of death or disability (except upon a double-trigger event following a change in control of the Company).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(b) Implementation of the LTIP in 2023

It is intended that LTIP awards during 2023 under the Share Award Scheme will only be made to the Senior Managers. As in each of 2020, 2021 and 2022, the LTIP for other managers will be in the form of cash-based awards under which the amounts payable may increase depending on Share price appreciation.

In 2023, in line with the practices of the Company’s Peer Group and relevant market practice, the LTIP awards for the Senior Managers will be comprised 50% of PRSUs and 50% of TRSUs based on the grant date value.

PRSUs

PRSUs will cliff vest three years after the grant date based on achievement of pre-established performance goals determined by reference to the Group’s annual LTIP Adjusted EBITDA growth rate targets set at the time of the grant, which growth rate targets are expressed on a constant currency basis compared to the prior year. When setting the performance targets, the objective is for the targets to be sufficiently challenging to create appropriate pay-for-performance alignment as expected by the Shareholders, within parameters that are likely to be perceived by the Senior Managers to be achievable in order to create appropriate incentives. The annual LTIP Adjusted EBITDA growth rate target for each year included in the three-year performance period have been established by the Remuneration Committee and will be communicated to the recipients of the PRSUs at the time of the grant. At the end of each year, the extent to which the annual growth target has been achieved will be determined in respect of 1/3 of the total PRSUs granted. In making such determination, the Remuneration Committee shall adjust either the performance goals or the calculation of the LTIP Adjusted EBITDA to reflect the following occurrences affecting the Company during the performance period (to the extent such occurrences affect the year-over-year comparability of LTIP Adjusted EBITDA):

the effect of changes in laws, regulations, or accounting principles, methods or estimates;
changes to amortization of lease right-of-use assets resulting from the write down or impairment of such assets or the reversal of impairments;
the planned, unrealized LTIP Adjusted EBITDA associated with a business segment, division, or unit or product group that is sold or discontinued (where such sale or discontinuation was unplanned);
results from an unplanned acquired business and costs related to such unplanned acquisition;
16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

restructuring and workforce severance costs pursuant to a plan approved by the Board and the Company's chief executive officer; and
unusual and infrequently occurring items as defined by IASB IFRS and any other unusual and exceptional events outside the ordinary course of business,

provided that such adjustment is guided by the principles of the LTIP and alignment of Shareholders' and Participants' interests.

Details of the payout levels with respect to the level of achievement of the annual LTIP Adjusted EBITDA growth rate for each year included in the three-year performance period are set out below:

	Payout levels (% of Shares underlying PRSUs)
	2023 against	2024 against	2025 against
Level of achievement of annual LTIP	2022 (1/3	2023 (1/3	2024 (1/3
Adjusted growth rate	weighting)	weighting)	weighting)
Maximum	200%	200%	200%
Target	100%	100%	100%
Threshold	25%	25%	25%
Below Threshold	0%	0%	0%

Vesting levels will be interpolated for actual performance between payout levels.

PRSUs will vest only upon completion of the three-year performance period to the extent the annual targets have been satisfied. PRSUs will ensure that there is linkage between the Company's stated long-term strategic and financial goals and executive compensation.

Because of the Stock Exchange's strict requirements with respect to the disclosure of forecasts of profits or losses, the Company (like other Hong Kong-listed companies) does not provide earnings guidance. For the same reason, the Company has not disclosed in this circular the LTIP Adjusted EBITDA growth rate targets because such targets are likely to be treated as forecasts. If such forecasts are disclosed by the Company prospectively, or before the end of the three-year performance period, the Company would need to comply with certain Listing Rules requirements, including disclosing the principal assumptions upon which the forecasts are made, obtaining a confirmation from its auditors that they have reviewed the accounting policies and calculations for the forecasts and making an appropriate announcement if, during the forecast period, an even occurs which, had it been known when the forecast was made, would have caused any of the assumptions to have been materially different. The Board considers that it is not in a position to make what would under the Listing Rules be considered to be a forecast of profits and losses covering the three-year performance period, and that it would be impracticable for the Company to comply with these requirements in respect of the LTIP

17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Adjusted EBITDA growth rate targets. The Board also notes that there is a risk that Shareholders or potential investors in the Company may confuse such targets as the Company's earnings guidance, which they are not intended to be. The Company will, however, commit to retrospectively disclosing the LTIP Adjusted EBITDA growth targets in the Company's annual report following the end of the three-year performance period.

TRSUs

TRSUs will vest pro rata over a three-year period on each anniversary of the grant date. TRSUs aid in the retention of Participants since the Shares will vest over a period of time. Long-term performance is incentivized, and the interests of the Senior Managers and Shareholders are aligned, as the value of the TRSUs depends on the market value of the Company's Shares and the Shares underlying TRSUs help the relevant Senior Managers to meet their applicable share ownership levels under the Company's Share Ownership Guidelines.

(c) Elements of Management Compensation Approach

The Company's approach to the annual compensation packages for its Senior Managers is to provide a balanced mix of compensation elements that includes the following: (i) base salary, (ii) short-term cash incentive in the form of an annual bonus based on annual financial targets, and (iii) long-term equity-based incentive awards under the LTIP, including PRSUs and TRSUs. The allocation of compensation between these elements for each of the Senior Managers is determined by the Remuneration Committee on an annual basis, taking into account advice from the Company's independent compensation consultant, which advice includes benchmarking against the Company's Peer Group. Target annual bonus and target LTIP Value are based on a percentage of each individual's base salary.

The allocations of these compensation elements for the Senior Managers are currently as follows:

Chief Executive Officer: target annual bonus of 150% of base salary, and target LTIP Value of 500% of base salary;
Chief Financial Officer: target annual bonus of 85% of base salary, and target LTIP Value of 175% of base salary; and
Other Senior Managers: target annual bonus of 60% of base salary, and target LTIP Value of 150% of base salary.
18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Accordingly, the target LTIP Value for the Senior Managers represents between approximately 48% and 67% of each such Senior Manager’s total target annual compensation. Taking into account PRSUs and target annual bonus, the performance-based elements of the Senior Managers’ compensation represents between approximately 44% and 53% of the Senior Managers’ total annual compensation. This illustrates the Remuneration Committee’s and the Company’s emphasis on pay-for-performance for the Company’s Senior Managers.

(d) Proposed 2023 RSU Grant to Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau

Consistent with the annual compensation for the previous financial years, an LTIP award consisting of RSUs to Mr. Gendreau is proposed to be approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. If approved by the Shareholders, the grant is expected to be made as soon as practicable following the Annual General Meeting.

The aggregate target LTIP Value of the 2023 RSU Grant proposed to be granted to Mr. Gendreau in 2023 is US$6,930,000, which is based on 500% of his base salary of US$1,386,000 for the year 2023 (of which 50% of the target LTIP Value will be in the form of PRSUs, and 50% will be in the form of TRSUs).

The tables below set out the grant date value of, and the number of Shares underlying, the proposed 2023 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau. The maximum numbers of Shares set out below have been calculated based on a per Share price of HK$20.25, the lowest closing market price of a Share during the period that began on January 1, 2023 and ended on March 31, 2023. The exact number of Shares underlying the RSUs proposed to be granted to Mr. Gendreau will be determined by dividing the target LTIP Value of RSUs by the higher of (i) the closing price of a Share on the grant date and (ii) the average closing price of a Share for the five trading days immediately preceding the grant date. The final number of Shares vested under the RSUs will vary depending on the level of achievement of performance conditions applicable to the PRSUs granted to Mr. Gendreau. For the avoidance of doubt, the actual realized value of the 2023 RSU Grant will depend on the Share price at the time of vesting of the RSUs.

Grant date value of TRSUs (US$)	Grant date value of PRSUs (US$)			Total target LTIP Value at grant date (US$)
	Threshold	Target	Maximum
3,465,000	866,250	3,465,000	6,930,000	6,930,000

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Maximum number of Shares underlying TRSUs and % of issued share capital at Latest Practicable Date	Maximum number of Shares underlying PRSUs and % of issued share capital at Latest Practicable Date			Total maximum number of Shares underlying maximum LTIP award and % of issued share capital at Latest Practicable Date
	Threshold	Target	Maximum
1,343,207	335,802	1,343,207	2,686,414	4,029,621
(0.09%)	(0.02%)	(0.09%)	(0.19%)	(0.28%)

Notes:
(1) TRSUs vest equally over a three-year period.
(2) PRSUs cliff vest three years following grant based on achievement of performance conditions. Further details on performance conditions for 2023 PRSUs are described in “– (b) Implementation of the LTIP in 2023” above.

The Company's malus and clawback policy will apply to the PRSUs included within the proposed 2023 RSU Grant. Under the policy, if the Company determines that it must prepare an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with any applicable financial reporting requirements resulting from the individual's fraud or misconduct, the Company has the power to seek to recover in respect of vested PRSUs and reduce in respect of unvested PRSUs the amount of erroneously awarded performance-based compensation received by the individual.

As provided in the Share Award Scheme, the 2023 RSU Grant does not carry any right to vote at general meetings of the Company, or any dividend, transfer or other rights (including those arising on the winding-up of the Company).

It is expected that the RSU grants to all Participants (including Mr. Gendreau and the other Senior Managers) under the Share Award Scheme in 2023 will result in an Equity Dilution level of not more than approximately $0.31\%$ to $0.39\%$ (assuming target level vesting of PRSUs) and approximately $0.47\%$ to $0.59\%$ (assuming maximum level vesting of PRSUs). The expected Equity Dilution levels have been calculated based on a per Share price of HK$25.20 and HK$20.25, being the closing market price of a Share on the Latest Practicable Date and the lowest closing market price of a Share during the period that began on January 1, 2023 and ended on March 31, 2023, respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons and Benefits of the 2023 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau

The Company’s practice is to incentivize, reward and retain Senior Managers by providing annual compensation packages. The 2023 RSU Grant is intended to continue ensuring the alignment between the interests of Mr. Gendreau and the long-term interests of Shareholders. TRSUs aid in the retention of Senior Managers and reward long-term performance. Similarly, PRSUs ensure that there is a greater linkage between the Company’s stated long-term strategic and financial goals and executive compensation.

The following table sets out a breakdown of the various compensation elements for Mr. Gendreau in 2023 assuming the 2023 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting:

Year	Approximate Allowances and other benefits			Total target LTIP Value granted during year (US$)	Approximate Contributions to post-employment plans (US$)	Total (US$)
	Salary (US$)	in kind (US$)	Target Bonus (US$)
2023^{(1)}	1,386,000^{(2)}	48,000	2,079,000	6,930,000	32,850	10,475,850

Notes:
(1) The 2023 figures are prospective amounts consisting of: base salary, estimated allowances and other benefits in kind, target bonus opportunity (150% of salary), total target LTIP Value (500% of salary) based on the grant date fair market value of Shares assuming target-level achievement of performance conditions applicable to PRSUs, and estimated contributions to post-employment plans.
(2) Annual base salary in effect from April 2, 2023.

(e) Listing Rules Implications

The Listing Rules require the approval of shareholders to be obtained where any grant of awards in respect of new shares (excluding grant of options) to a director (other than an independent non-executive director) or chief executive would result in the shares issued and to be issued in respect of all awards granted (excluding any awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the share award scheme) to such individual in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the shares in issue.

As the total number of Shares issued and to be issued to Mr. Gendreau pursuant to the 2023 RSU Grant in the 12-month period up to April 7, 2023 (being the date on which the Remuneration Committee (with the approval of the Independent Non-Executive Directors) approved the recommendation to the Shareholders of the proposed grant) would exceed the 0.1% Individual Threshold referred to above, the 2023 RSU Grant is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. As required under Listing Rule 17.04(4), Mr. Gendreau, his associates and all core connected persons

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,443,178,592 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in paragraph 7 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting to be held on June 1, 2023, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Buy-back Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Buy-back Mandate remains in force, a total of 144,317,859 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as of the date of the Annual General Meeting (excluding the Shares that are held in treasury pending cancellation if waiver from the Stock Exchange is received) within the limits referred to in paragraphs 6 and 7 of the information on the proposed resolutions at the Annual General Meeting in the Letter from the Board.

REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Share buy-back 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 and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

Shares buy-back must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Luxembourg. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, any buy-back by the Company may be made out of the Company's funds which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buy-back. Any amount of premium payable on the purchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be paid out of the funds which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or from sums standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

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 December 31, 2022) in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such 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 appropriate for the Company.

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months were as follows:

| Month | Highest
HK$ | Lowest
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| April, 2022 | 18.00 | 15.10 |
| May, 2022 | 17.96 | 15.10 |
| June, 2022 | 18.50 | 14.48 |
| July, 2022 | 17.54 | 15.62 |
| August, 2022 | 20.60 | 16.04 |
| September, 2022 | 21.55 | 17.70 |
| October, 2022 | 20.60 | 16.30 |
| November, 2022 | 21.00 | 16.56 |
| December, 2022 | 22.45 | 19.06 |
| January, 2023 | 24.30 | 20.00 |
| February, 2023 | 24.25 | 21.70 |
| March, 2023 | 24.65 | 20.00 |
| April, 2023 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 25.70 | 24.25 |

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any 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 Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Luxembourg.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back 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 (within the meaning under the Takeovers 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 Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company and taking into consideration the interests of the substantial shareholders of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) in the voting rights of the Company as of the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
