EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 517,703,856 shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 4 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 517,703,856 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back, during the period in which the Share Buy-back Mandate remains in force, a total of 51,770,385 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Shares buy-back may, depending on the 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 buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

The Company may only apply funds legally available for share buy-back in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Companies Law (2013 Revision) (as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

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 audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018) in the event that the Share Buy-back

– 18 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX II

Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate 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.

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during the period from the Listing Date up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2018
June (from the Listing Date) 33.80 29.95
July 36.00 28.30
August 30.00 21.20
September 27.95 21.50
October 26.60 22.15
November 34.00 25.85
December 30.85 27.05
2019
January 30.25 22.40
February 29.90 25.50
March 27.50 23.05
April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 24.60 19.64

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Share to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

– 19 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX II

The Company has not been notified by any core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Share held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Dai Kebin and Ms. Song Yueting were interested in 302,229,541 Shares representing approximately 58.38% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate in full, the aggregate shareholding of Mr. Dai Kebin and Ms. Song Yueting would be increased to approximately 64.87% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase in shareholding would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the period from the Listing Date to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not bought back any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
