EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information for Shareholders to consider the Repurchase Mandate.

1. Share Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,655,819,836 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 365,581,983 Shares (representing not more than 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate).

2. Reasons for Repurchases

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

3. Funding of Repurchases

It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the capital paid up on the shares being repurchased or from 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 purposes of the repurchase, and in the case of any premium payable on such repurchase, funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or from the Company’s share premium account before the repurchase, being funds legally available for this purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association, the Bye-laws and the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2011 in the event that the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate was 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 or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

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 and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares held by them to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. Takeovers Code

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 Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

(within the meaning under the Takeovers Code) 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, 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. The Company will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would result in the number of Shares held by the public falling below 25%.
