LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REPURCHASE MANDATE
At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 10 June 2025, a general and unconditional mandate was granted to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM. An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules to provide further information of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. Neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed granting of the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 3,323,771,133 Shares were in issue by the Company. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that there is no further change to the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 332,377,113 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.
ISSUE MANDATE AND EXTENSION OF THE ISSUE MANDATE
At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 10 June 2025, a general and unconditional mandate was granted to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares or other securities and/or sell or transfer Treasury Shares (if any). Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares up to a limit equal to 20% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution approving the Issue Mandate at the AGM.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 3,323,771,133 Shares were in issue by the Company. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Issue Mandate and on the basis that there is no further change to the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the exercise of the Issue Mandate in full would result in issuing up to a maximum of 664,754,226 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Issue Mandate at the AGM (assuming no Share is issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM). In addition, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed to extend the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of such Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate, the details of which are set out in ordinary resolution number 9 in the notice of AGM.

The audit committee of the Company (the “Audit Committee”) has recommended to the Board for the re-appointment of Ernst & Young as the Company’s auditors for the financial year of 2026. Accordingly, the Board proposed to re-appoint Ernst & Young as auditors of the Company and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. The specific auditors’ remuneration will be further negotiated and determined between the Company and Ernst & Young on a fair and reasonable basis, taking into account factors such as the business scale and industry of the Group, expected audit scope, audit timetable, manpower and expected auditors’ resources required.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules, to provide further information to you for consideration of the Repurchase Mandate. Neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed granting of the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 3,323,771,133 Shares in issue or an issued share capital of HK$332,377,113.30. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that there is no further change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 332,377,113 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM (assuming no Share is issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM).
REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on 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 if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
Subject to the compliance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws and regulations, the Company may cancel any Shares it repurchased and/or hold such Shares as Treasury Shares for subsequent sale or transfer, subject to consideration of factors including market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASES
In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
On the basis of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025, being the date to which the latest published audited accounts of the Company were made up, the Directors consider that if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse impact on the working capital position and gearing level of the Group. The Directors will not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Group's working capital or the gearing position of the Group which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
To the extent that any Treasury Shares are deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it does not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those shares were registered in the Company's own name as Treasury Shares. These measures may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company will not (or will procure its broker not to) give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will withdraw the Treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as Treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.

GENERAL
The Directors have confirmed that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and in accordance with the Memorandum and the Articles.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.
No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor 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.
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND THE PUBLIC FLOAT REQUIREMENT
If, as a result of any Share repurchase made by the Company 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 Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of the Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interests, may obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, none of the Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert in the Company would increase their percentage shareholding to 30% or above of the issued share capital of the Company (assuming no Share is issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the date when the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and taking no account of any Shares that may be issued upon exercise of share options that may be granted under any share option scheme as may be adopted by the Company). The Directors are not aware of any consequences of such repurchases of Shares that would result in any Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full. Moreover, the Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the number of Shares held by the public would not fall below 25% of the total number of Shares in issue. In any event, the Directors will not make any Share repurchase on the Stock Exchange if such repurchase would result in the requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules not being complied with.
SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company did not repurchase Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
