1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company comprised of 648,405,300 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 64,840,530 Shares.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases 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.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Any repurchases may only be effected out of funds of the Company legally available for the purposes in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and bye-laws of the Company and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own shares 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 from time to time.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
It is presently proposed that any repurchase of Shares would be made out of capital paid up on the repurchased Shares, funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose and in the case of any premium payable on such repurchase, from funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or from the share premium account of the Company. The repurchase of Shares will be conditional upon the fact that on the date the repurchase is effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the purchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.
4. EFFECT OF EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
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 financial statements contained in the Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full.
