Solvency Condition

Other than in a winding-up or administration of the Company or in relation to the cash component of any Conversion Shares Offer Consideration, all payments in respect of or arising from (including any damages for breach of any obligations under) the Securities are conditional upon the Company being solvent at

(i) who are unsubordinated creditors;

(ii) whose claims are, or are expressed to be, subordinated (whether only in the event of the winding-up or administration of the Company or otherwise) to the claims of unsubordinated creditors of the Company but not further or otherwise; or

(iii) whose claims are, or are expressed to be, junior to the claims of other creditors of the Company, whether subordinated or unsubordinated, other than those whose claims rank, or are expressed to rank, pari passu with, or junior to, the claims of the Securityholders in a winding-up or administration of the Company occurring prior to a Conversion Trigger Event; and

Waivers granted by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and specific mandate for the issuance of the Securities

The Company announced on 31 March 2025 that it had applied for, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange had on 26 February 2025 granted, a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements of Rule 13.36(1) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules pursuant to which the Company was permitted to seek (and, if approved, utilise) an authority (the "Specific Mandate") to issue contingent convertible securities ("ECAT1 Securities") and to allot Ordinary Shares into which they may be converted or exchanged representing up to 15 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital as at 19 March 2025.

At the 2025 annual general meeting of the Company, the shareholders of the Company approved the Specific Mandate allowing the Company to allot Ordinary Shares or to grant rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into Ordinary Shares without first offering them to existing shareholders in connection with the issue of ECAT1 Securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of U.S.$179,675,539 (or 359,351,078 shares), representing approximately 15 per cent. of the Company's issued Ordinary Share capital as at 19 March 2025. Such Specific Mandate is effective until the end of the Company's annual general meeting in 2026 or if earlier, the close of business on 7 August 2026, and is in addition to any general mandate to allot Ordinary Shares granted by the shareholders at the 2025 annual general meeting of the Company. The Specific Mandate is also independent of any use of the ECAT1 Securities specific

16 -

mandates granted at the Company's previous annual general meetings. The Company expects to seek similar authorities on an annual basis. For further details, please refer to the notice of the 2025 annual general meeting of the Company dated 1 April 2025 and the announcement of the Company dated 8 May 2025 disclosing the poll results of such meeting.

The Company has obtained all necessary consents, approvals and authorisations in the United Kingdom in connection with the issue and performance of the Securities. The issue of the Securities was authorised by resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors passed on 6 and 7 November 2019 and 11 April 2024 and of a duly authorised resolution of a committee of the Company's Board of Directors passed on 31 October 2025. Accordingly, the issuance of the Securities is not subject to further approval by the shareholders of the Company.

Application for listing

Application will be made for the Securities to be admitted to trading on the ISM. Application will also be made to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon any Conversion of the Securities. If a Conversion Trigger Event occurs, application will be made by the Company to the Financial Conduct Authority for the admission to the Official List, and to the London Stock Exchange for the admission to trading on the Regulated Market of the London Stock Exchange of the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon any Conversion of the Securities.

Reasons for the issuance of the Securities and use of proceeds

The net proceeds from the issue of the Securities will be used for the general business purposes of the Group and to strengthen further the regulatory capital base of the Group.

The aggregate gross proceeds from the issuance of the Securities are expected to be U.S.$1,000,000,000. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Securities, after the deduction of commission, are expected to be U.S.$ 991,000,000.

The net issue price of each Ordinary Share that may be issued on Conversion, based on the estimated net proceeds of the issue of the Securities of U.S.$ 991,000,000 and 48,169,556 Ordinary Shares being issued as a result of the full conversion of the Securities using the Conversion Price of U.S.$20.760, is estimated to be approximately U.S.$20.573.

Fund raising activities in the past twelve months

The Company has not carried out any issue of equity securities (save and except for (i) the issuance of the U.S.$1,000,000,000 Fixed Rate Resetting Perpetual Subordinated Contingent Convertible Securities as disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 8 January 2025) during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of this announcement.

Effects on shareholding structure of the Company

In the event a Conversion Trigger Event occurs and assuming full conversion of the Securities at their initial conversion price takes place, the Securities will be convertible into approximately 48,169,556 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 2.110 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as at 3 November 2025 and approximately 2.066 per cent. of the issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of such Ordinary Shares.

The Ordinary Shares to be issued upon Conversion of the Securities will rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares in issue on the Conversion Date.

The following table summarises the potential effects on the shareholding structure of the Company as a result of the issuance of the Securities by reference to the information on shareholdings as at 3 November 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the release of this announcement) and assuming full conversion of the Securities:

DISCLAIMER – INTENDED ADDRESSEES

This announcement does not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of the Company or the Managers to subscribe for, or purchase, the Securities. No action has been taken in any jurisdiction to permit a public offering of the Securities where such action is required. The offer and sale of the Securities may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions.

The Securities and any Ordinary Shares which may be delivered upon Conversion of the Securities have not been, and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and the Securities and any Ordinary Shares which may be delivered upon Conversion of the Securities are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the Securities and any Ordinary Shares which may be delivered upon Conversion of the Securities may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act).

The Securities are complex financial instruments. They are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all investors, especially retail investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the Securities.

Potential investors in the Securities should inform themselves of, and comply with, any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory guidance with respect to any resale of the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein).

Restrictions on marketing and sales to retail investors – Pursuant to the United Kingdom ("UK") Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS") the Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to retail clients (as defined in COBS 3.4) in the UK.

The Securities are complex financial instruments. They are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all investors, especially retail investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the Securities. Potential investors in the Securities should inform themselves of, and comply with, any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory guidance with respect to any resale of the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein).

(a) In the UK, COBS requires, in summary, that the Securities should not be offered or sold to retail clients (as defined in COBS 3.4 and each a "retail client") in the UK.

(b) Certain of the Managers are required to comply with COBS.

(c) By purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any Securities (or a beneficial interest in such Securities) from the Company and/or the Managers (acting as Managers), each prospective investor represents, warrants, agrees with and undertakes to the Company and each of the Managers that:

(i) it is not a retail client in the UK; and

(ii) it will not sell or offer the Securities (or any beneficial interest therein) to retail clients in the UK or communicate (including the distribution of the Offering Circular and/or this document) or approve an invitation or inducement to participate in, acquire or underwrite the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein) where that invitation or inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a way that it is likely to be received by a retail client in the UK.

(d) In selling or offering the Securities or making or approving communications relating to the Securities each prospective investor may not rely on the limited exemptions set out in COBS.

The obligations in paragraph 2 above are in addition to the need to comply at all times with all other applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the European Economic Area (the "EEA") or the UK) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale

of the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein), whether or not specifically mentioned in the Offering Circular and/or this document, including (without limitation) any requirements under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended) ("EU MiFID II") or the UK FCA Handbook as to determining the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein) for investors in any relevant jurisdiction.

Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any Securities (or any beneficial interests therein) from the Company and/or the Managers (acting as Managers), the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of EU MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of EU MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS – The Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of the domestic law of the UK by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of the domestic law of the UK by virtue of the EUWA ("UK MiFIR"). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of the domestic law of the UK by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation. In addition to the foregoing, pursuant to COBS the Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to retail clients (as defined in COBS 3.4) in the UK.

UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ELIGIBLE COUNTERPARTIES ONLY TARGET MARKET – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Securities is only eligible counterparties, as defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. A distributor should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Securities (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

The Securities are not intended to be initially placed and may not be initially placed to "connected persons" of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

This announcement does not constitute nor form a part of any offer or solicitation to purchase or subscribe for securities in Singapore or elsewhere. Any Securities and/or the Ordinary Shares to be delivered following Conversion, if offered, will not be sold or be made the subject of an invitation for subscription or purchase, whether directly or indirectly, to any person in Singapore other than (i) to an institutional investor (as defined in Section 4A of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore, as modified or amended from time to time (the "SFA")) pursuant to Section 274 of the SFA or (ii) to an accredited investor

20 -

(as defined in Section 4A of the SFA) pursuant to and in accordance with the conditions specified in Section 275 of the SFA.

The distribution of this announcement in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this announcement comes are required to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.
