From the effective date of the Trial Measures, the PRC companies shall formulate their articles of association in accordance with the Guidelines for the Articles of Association of Listed Companies (《上市公司章程指引》) (collectively referred to as, the “ PRC Regulatory Changes ”). Further, the newly revised Company Law of the PRC has been effective from July 1, 2024.

In addition, in June 2023, the Stock Exchange issued the consultation conclusion in relation to the proposals to expand the paperless listing regime and other rule amendments, and the relevant amendments of the Listing Rules have become effective on December 31, 2023.

In view of the above, the Board proposes to amend the Articles of Association for the purposes of, among others, (i) reflecting the latest updates on requirements and interpretation of the applicable PRC laws, the Listing Rules and other rules and regulations; and (ii) making consequential and other housekeeping amendments.

The legal advisers to the Company as to the laws of Hong Kong and the laws of the PRC have respectively confirmed that the proposed amendment to the Articles of Association comply with requirements of the Listing Rules and applicable laws of the PRC. The Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendment for a company incorporated in the PRC and listed on the Stock Exchange.

Pursuant to the relevant amendments to the Articles of Association, the Board has resolved to propose the amendments to the relevant provisions of the Rules of Procedures for the General Meeting to (i) comply with the newly revised Company Law of the PRC and the relevant provisions of the Articles of Association, if approved; and (ii) make other corresponding amendments to further improve and standardize the Rules of Procedures for the General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF H SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the repurchase mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases of H Shares 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 repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing H Shares, the Company may only apply funds from its internal resources available for the purpose under the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the laws, rules and regulations applicable to the PRC, including but not limited to the surplus funds and undistributed profits of the Company.

4. IMPACT ON THE WORKING CAPITAL

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors are of the opinion that, the exercise of the repurchase mandate in full will not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the working capital and/or gearing position as at December 31, 2023 disclosed in the latest published audited accounts as contained in the annual report of the Company). The number of H Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining and in the best interest of the Company.

APPENDIX V

5. STATUS OF REPURCHASED H SHARES

If the Company repurchases H Shares, the Company may cancel the repurchased H Shares or hold such H Shares by way of treasury shares based on the market condition and the capital management needs of the Group at the relevant time of the repurchase.

For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings of the Company for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, withdraw the treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions, or take any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury Shares.

6. H SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest trading prices per H Share on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months preceding up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

	Highest	Lowest
	(HK$)	(HK$)
2023
September	5.61	4.52
October	4.90	3.74
November	5.94	4.22
December*	N/A	N/A
2024
January*	N/A	N/A
February*	N/A	N/A
March*	N/A	N/A
April*	N/A	N/A

June*	N/A	N/A
July*	N/A	N/A
August*	N/A	N/A
September (up to the Latest Practicable Date)*	N/A	N/A

Trading of the Shares was suspended with effect from 9:00 a.m. on November 23, 2023 to the Latest Practicable Date. As such, no reference is made to the Share quoted on the Stock Exchange during the month.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX V

7. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

The Directors will, so far as the same may be applicable, exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the repurchase mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

8. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined under the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell to the Company any of the H Shares in the Company if the repurchase mandate is approved at the 2024 First Extraordinary General Meeting and the Class Meetings.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person(s) (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any H Shares nor has such core connected person(s) undertaken not to sell any of the H Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the repurchase mandate is granted by the Company.

9. IMPLICATION UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a substantial Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase the H Shares pursuant to the repurchase mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code and any similarly applicable laws as a consequence of any repurchase of Shares under the repurchase mandate.

10. REPURCHASE OF SHARES BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

Neither this explanatory statement nor the general mandate to repurchase H Shares has any unusual features.
