PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent guidelines for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM to protect the Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders who attend the AGM from the risk of infection:

  • (i) compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee at each entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue;

  • (ii) each attendee may be asked whether (a) he/she has travelled outside of Hong Kong within the 14-day period immediately before the AGM; and (b) he/she is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine. Anyone who responds positively to either of these questions may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue;

  • (iii) the Company will require all attendees to wear surgical face masks before they are permitted to attend, and during their attendance of the AGM at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and

  • (iv) no refreshment will be served at the AGM, and there will be no corporate gift.

Any person who does not comply with the above requirements may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue. To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of other attendees at the AGM. In our case, denied entry to the AGM venue also means that person will not be allowed to attend the AGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders’ health and safety and in accordance with recent guidelines for prevention and control of the spread of COVID-19, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, the Shareholders may complete the proxy forms and appoint the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM instead of attending the AGM in person.

The proxy forms were despatched to the Shareholders together with this circular, and can otherwise be downloaded from the websites of the Company at www.u51.com or the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk. If you are not a registered Shareholder (i.e. if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks, brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 12 June 2020, the Directors were granted a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares and a general mandate to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange. These mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM. At the AGM, among other businesses, resolutions will be proposed to grant the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate to the Directors.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Directors will be authorised to issue up to a maximum of 271,664,037 Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate based on the total number of issued Shares of 1,358,320,188 as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Each of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate will expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the end of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws of Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) when revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of 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 SFC 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 1,358,320,188 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 AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 135,832,018 Shares.

3. REASONS OF THE PROPOSED 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 are listed. Share repurchase 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.

4. PROPOSED SOURCE OF FUNDS

Repurchase made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles, the laws of Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange.

– 7 –

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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 as at 31 December 2020, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements. 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 which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases upon the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and becomes obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as was known to the Directors, Mr. Sun Haitao (the Chairman and an executive Director) together with his concerted parties (the “ Concerted Group ”) are deemed to control an aggregate of 415,571,736 Shares, representing approximately 30.59% of the total number of issued Shares. Assuming that there will be no change in the issued Shares and the Concerted Group does not dispose of its Shares nor acquire additional Shares prior to any repurchase of Shares and if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full, the shareholding held by the Concerted Group in the Company would be increased to approximately 33.99% of the total number of issued Shares.

Such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors do not have a present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in general offer obligations under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

8. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will only exercise the power of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands.

9. INTENTION OF THE DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSON OF THE COMPANY

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM and exercised.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.
