The above general mandates will expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Law or the Articles of Association to hold the Annual General Meeting; or (c) when revoked or varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the Annual General Meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution No. 7 will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise the power of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new Shares with a total number not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 2,375,000,000 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution No. 7 granting the Issue Mandate to the Directors and that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue up to a maximum of 475,000,000 Shares.

In addition, an ordinary resolution No. 9 will also be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to extend the Issue Mandate by an additional number of Shares representing the total number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.
The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate would expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Law or the Articles of Association to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when revoked or varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information as to the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,375,000,000 Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each.
Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 237,500,000 Shares, which represents 10% of the total number of Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution at the Annual General Meeting, during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Companies Law or the Articles of Association; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Share 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 when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
– 11 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the Companies Law.
The Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Companies Law. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased in the manner provided for in the Companies Law.
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors consider that if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or on the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2016, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to repurchase Shares 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.
4. GENERAL
To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their Close Associates, currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands (including the Companies Law).
No Core Connected Person has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
5. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert depending on the level of increase of the shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Company, 1,381,375,012 Shares, representing approximately 58.16% of the issued share capital of the Company, were beneficially owned by Joywise.
Mr. Yi Xiaodi, Mr. Fan Xiaochong, Ms. Fan Xiaohua and Mr. Liao Chimei are parties to the 2010 Agreement. Each of the Individual Controlling Shareholders is a party to the 2013 Agreement. By virtue of the SFO, each of the Individual Controlling Shareholders and Mr. Liao Chimei are deemed to be interested in the Shares which the other parties to each of those agreements are interested in. Furthermore, the Individual Controlling Shareholders and Mr. Liao Chimei are parties acting in concert for the purpose of the Takeovers Code.
As such and by virtue of the SFO, each of the Individual Controlling Shareholders and Mr. Liao Chimei are deemed to be interested in the Shares which Joywise was interested in.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders had interests in the Shares representing 10% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:
