Assuming that there is no change in the total number of Shares in issue during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing the resolution approving the Share Issue Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be allotted, issued and dealt with pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate on the date of passing the resolution approving the Share Issue Mandate will be 232,758,983 Shares.

In addition, Ordinary Resolution no. 7 will also be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the extension of the Share Issue Mandate by adding the number of Shares repurchased under a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares during the period as set out in Ordinary Resolution no. 6 up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing Ordinary Resolution no. 6, if granted.

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Retiring INEDs have served the Company for more than nine years. The Nomination Committee considered that their long service would not affect their exercise of independent judgment and was satisfied that they have the required integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of Independent Non-Executive Directors.

In addition, each of the Retiring INEDs has made an annual confirmation of independence pursuant to the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

Taking into consideration the above, the Board is of the view that each of the Retiring INEDs is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines. The Board also accepted the nomination by the Nomination Committee and recommended the Retiring INEDs to stand for re-election by the Shareholders at the AGM.

In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, the re-election of each of the Retiring INEDs will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved at the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide all the information reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to approve the Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

2. SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

All proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchases or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

3. EXERCISE OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 2,327,589,833 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of Ordinary Resolution no. 6 and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 232,758,983 Shares.

4. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, 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 the Shareholders.

5. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from those funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilised in this connection, including capital paid up on the Shares to be repurchased, funds of the Company otherwise available for

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares and any premium payable on a repurchase shall be provided out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company.

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 latest published audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019 in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. SHARE PRICES

The monthly highest and lowest prices at which the Shares had traded on the Stock Exchange during the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Share Prices (per Share) Share Prices (per Share)
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2018
September 6.380 4.900
October 5.390 4.160
November 4.700 4.220

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

7. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands and the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently intends to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make purchases of Shares.

8. THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of repurchase of Shares by the Company, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register required to be kept by the Company under Section 336 of the SFO or other notification(s) received by the Company, Sunco Resources Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SHKP, was the beneficial owner of (i) the 1,719,427,500 Shares; and (ii) 1,719,427,500 underlying Shares in respect of the Convertible Notes in the amount of HK$171,942,750 convertible into 1,719,427,500 Shares at the conversion price of HK$0.10 per Share (subject to adjustment in accordance with the deed poll constituting the Convertible Notes dated 25 November 2010) upon the exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Notes (together, the “ Sunco Interests ”). As Sunco Resources Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SHKP, SHKP is deemed to have interests in the Sunco Interests for the purpose of Part XV of the SFO. As HSBC Trustee (C.I.) Limited (“ HSBC Trustee ”) is entitled to control the exercise of one-third or more of the voting power at general meetings of SHKP, HSBC Trustee is also deemed to

— 10 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR

APPENDIX I

SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

have interests in the Sunco Interests held indirectly by SHKP for the purpose of Part XV of the SFO. In addition, HSBC Trustee also has interests/deemed interests in 2,140,000 Shares for the purpose of Part XV of the SFO.

The abovementioned interests, after taking into account duplication of interests, represented approximately 73.96% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. Assuming that there is no change in the total number of issued Shares prior to the AGM, in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the abovementioned interests will be increased to approximately 82.18%. Such increase will not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. In addition, in view of the public float requirement under the Listing Rules which requires at least 25% of the issued share capital of the Company to be held by the public, the Directors will use their best endeavours to ensure that the Share Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent that the Company will infringe such minimum public float requirement.

9. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, there was no purchases of Shares made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
