APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to provide requisite information for the Shareholders to make an informed decision whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

1. Share capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,559,546,300 Shares. Subject to the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the passing of the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 255,954,630 Shares.

2. Reasons for repurchases

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time of repurchase, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and its 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 its memorandum of association and Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. A listed company may not repurchase its own shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Bermuda law provides that the amount to be paid in connection with a Share repurchase may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the relevant purchased Shares or out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium payable on a repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase under the Repurchase Mandate would be derived from such sources.

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 of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2017 in the event that the repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate were 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 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. Undertaking and disclosure of interests

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, the applicable laws of Bermuda and the memorandum of association of the Company and Bye-laws.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries and no such person has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers

If on the exercise of the power 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 for the purposes of Rule 32 of the

– 8 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE OF SHARES

Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“ 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 offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Info Dynasty Group Limited, Simcom Limited and Intellipower Investments Limited, Ms Yeung Man Ying, Mr Wong Cho Tung, Mr Wong Hei, Simon and Mr Wong Sun (together, the “ Concert Group ”) were together beneficially interested in 1,212,502,000 Shares, representing approximately 47.37% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate and if there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company and the aggregate number of issued shares in which the Concert Group is interested remains unchanged, the shareholding of the Concert Group will be increased to approximately 52.64% of the issued share capital of the Company. Accordingly, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will result in the Concert Group becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any shareholder or group of shareholders of the Company acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

7. Share repurchases made by the Company

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