APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

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 grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,433,332,000 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 grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 2,433,332,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Buy-back Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Buy-back Mandate remains in force, a total of 243,333,200 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 grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

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 a 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 the Constitution, the Listing Rules, the laws of Australia and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be. The Company may not repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange for consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, the Company may make buy-backs out of the profit or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares for the purpose of the buy-back. Any amount of premium payable on the purchase over the value of the Shares to be repurchased must be out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account. If authorised by the Constitution and subject to the laws of Australia, repurchase may also be made out of capital.

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 30 June 2022) in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed

– 12 –

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

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 each of the previous 12 months were as follows:

Month	Highest	Lowest
	HK$	HK$
October, 2021	0.200	0.162
November, 2021	0.238	0.160
December, 2021	0.249	0.171
January, 2022	0.195	0.149
February, 2022	0.144	0.119
March, 2022	0.201	0.085
April, 2022	0.110	0.081
May, 2022	0.099	0.070
June, 2022	0.180	0.068
July, 2022	0.112	0.075
August, 2022	0.088	0.067
September, 2022	0.114	0.064
October, 2022 (up to the Latest Practicable Date)	0.086	0.067

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 Shares to the Company in the event that the grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (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 Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the grant 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 repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Australia.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX II

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, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the 6 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not repurchased Shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange.
