APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information as to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 797,072,189 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis 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 a maximum of 79,707,218 Shares, which represents 10% of the total number of Shares of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution until the earliest of:

  • (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or

  • (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or the applicable laws of Singapore to be held; or

  • (iii) revocation or variation by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

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 the Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be 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.

– 8 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the Companies Law.

The Company will use internal sources of funds, external borrowings, or a combination of internal resources and external borrowings, to finance the Company’s purchase or acquisition of the Shares. In addition, the Directors will also consider the availability of external financing. However, in considering the option of external financing, the Directors will also consider the financial position of the Group, particularly the prevailing gearing level of the Group. The Directors will only make purchases or acquisitions of the Shares in circumstances that they believe will not result in any material adverse effect to the financial position of the Group.

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report). However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

The Shares are trading on the Stock Exchange and the highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the following months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
March 2015 5.10 3.13

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

6. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE

Where the Company cancels any of the Shares it repurchased, the Company shall:

  • (a) reduce the amount of its share capital where the Shares were purchased or acquired out of the capital of the Company;

  • (b) reduce the amount of its profits where the Shares were purchased or acquired out of the profits of the Company; or

  • (c) reduce the amount of its shares capital and profits proportionately where the Shares are purchased or acquired out of both the capital and the profits of the Company,

by the total amount of the purchase price paid by the Company for the Shares cancelled.

The financial effects on the Company arising from purchases or acquisitions of Shares which may be made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will depend, inter alia, on whether the Shares are purchased or acquired out of the profits and/or capital of the Company, the number of Shares purchased or acquired and the price paid for such Shares.

Where the consideration paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition of Shares is made out of profits, such consideration will correspondingly reduce the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by the Company. Where the consideration paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition of Shares is made out of capital, the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by the Company will not be reduced.

The Company shall not purchase its shares on the Stock Exchange if the purchase price is higher by 5% or more than the average closing market price for 5 preceding trading days on which its shares were traded on the Stock Exchange.

For illustrative purposes only:

Where the Shares purchased or acquired are cancelled, in a on-market purchase, assuming that the maximum price is HK$4.20 (“ Assumed Purchase Price ”), which is 5% above the average closing price of a Share as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets for the 5 business days immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the maximum amount of funds required for the purchase of up to 79,707,218 Shares (representing 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date), which is the maximum number of Shares the Company is able to

purchase or acquire under and during the duration of the Repurchase Mandate, would be approximately HK$334,770,000. The financial effects of the purchase or acquisition on the financial position of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 are as follows:

As at 31 December 2015, the Company and the Group had a balance of approximately RMB1,261,853,000 and RMB671,188,000 in cash and cash equivalents respectively. Assuming the repurchase of up to 79,707,218 Shares at the Assumed Repurchase Price, the Company’s and the Group’s cash reserve would be reduced by RMB280,569,000, and all other things remaining the same, the working capital and net assets of the Company and the Group would be reduced by the dollar value of the Shares purchased.

The purchase of the Shares would reduce the current assets and shareholders’ funds of the Company and the Group accordingly. The actual impact on the current ratio of the Company and the Group would depend on the number of Shares purchased and the price or prices at which the Shares are purchased.

The Company must comply with the solvency requirements set out in the Singapore Companies Act when proceeding with any share repurchase. For the purpose of the illustration above, as the Company has more liabilities than assets it would not be permitted to proceed with the share buyback under such circumstances.

– 11 –

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

THE SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOTE THAT THE FINANCIAL EFFECTS SET OUT ABOVE ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY (BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED ASSUMPTIONS AND THE MOST RECENTLY AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY.

7. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases when the Company exercises its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 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 Directors, the controlling shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, namely 同方股 份有限公司 (Tsinghua Tongfang Co., Ltd) and Resuccess Investments Limited (the “ Controlling Shareholders* ”), together exercise and/or control the exercise of approximately 33.64% voting rights in the general meeting of the Company.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the direct and indirect shareholding of the Controlling Shareholders in the Company would increase to approximately 37.38% of the issued share capital of the Company. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for the Controlling Shareholders to make a mandatory offer.

The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the previous six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

9. GENERAL

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

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Singapore and the regulations set out in the Articles.

No Connected Person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such Connected Person undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him/her to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.

3. RESOLUTIONS AND VOTING

According to the note to code provision E1.1 of the Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules and Section 150 of the Singapore Companies Act, there must be a separate resolution for nomination of persons as directors.

There will be 3 Director vacancies to be filled at the AGM following the retirement of Mr. Liu Tianmin, Mr. Chia Yew Boon and Mr. Wang Yinghu. If there are more than 3 candidates standing for election at the AGM, each resolution proposing that a candidate be appointed as a Director will provide for a method to determine which 3 candidates shall be elected as Directors as follows:

“THAT subject to the number of net votes cast in relation to this resolution (net votes being votes cast in favour minus votes cast against this resolution) being among the 3 highest number of net votes cast on each of the resolutions for the appointment of a person as a director of the Company at the AGM to be held on 13 May 2016 or on the date of its adjournment (where applicable), name of candidate be and is hereby appointed as a director of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the AGM held on 13 May 2016, provided that if any 3 or more of such resolutions record the same number of net votes (the “Tied Resolutions”), the ranking of the Tied Resolutions from highest to lowest number of net votes shall be determined by the drawing of lots by the chairman of the meeting.”

If a resolution is passed (i.e, it has been carried by the majority of the votes cast on it), the candidate who is the subject of that resolution will be eligible to be elected a Director. On the other hand, if a resolution is not passed, the candidate who is the subject of that resolution will not be eligible to be elected a Director. If there are less than 3 resolutions passed by the majority of the votes cast, the Board may, pursuant to Section 108 of the Articles, appoint any person to fill the relevant vacancy or vacancies (as the case may be).

– 18 –

APPENDIX II

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Assuming a resolution is passed by the majority of the votes cast on it, the candidate who is the subject of that resolution will be elected to one of the 3 positions on the Board if the net votes cast in favour of his/her resolution is among within the top 3 resolutions passed in terms of net votes cast. Net votes cast are calculated by taking the votes cast in favour of a resolution and subtracting the votes cast against that resolution. In the event there is a tie in the net votes for 3 or more resolutions, the ranking of the Tied Resolutions from highest to lowest number of net votes cast shall be determined by the drawing of lots by the chairman of the meeting.

Therefore, if you wish to support a particular candidate, you should vote in favour of his/her resolution. If you do not wish to support a candidate, you may vote against his/ her resolution or abstain from voting. If you abstain from voting, you should note that your votes will not be counted when calculating the net votes cast in respect of the resolution for such candidate that you do not wish to support.
