EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the Buy-back Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE BUY-BACK OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of total issued Shares was 428,018,500 Shares of nominal value of US$0.0001 each which have been fully paid. Subject to the passing of the resolution for buy-back of Shares and on the basis of no further new Shares will be issued or purchased by the Company up to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 42,801,850 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the relevant resolution for granting the Buy-back Mandate. During the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of the Company or any applicable law of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the date on which such mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
3. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK
The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
4. FUNDING OF BUY-BACK OF SHARES
Any buy-back of Shares of the Company would be funded entirely from the cash flow or working capital facilities available to the Company, and will, in any event be made out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. Such funds include, but are not limited to, profits available for distribution. Purchases may only be effected out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorized by its Articles and
– 10 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be Buy-back must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorized by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.
5. GENERAL
The Directors believe that if the Buy-back Mandate is exercised in full, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2019, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the 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.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during the period from the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follow:
| Shares | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | ||
| HK$ | HK$ | ||
| 2019 | |||
| December (since the Listing Date) | 17.12 | 11.72 | |
| 2020 | |||
| January | 26.50 | 17.20 | |
| February | 30.30 | 22.00 | |
| March | 32.00 | 23.00 | |
| April (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) | 24.30 | 19.48 |
– 11 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE
APPENDIX I
7. UNDERTAKING
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Buy-back Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Buy-back Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.
8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON
No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he or she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
9. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC SHAREHOLDING
If on exercise of the powers of buy-back pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, Mr. Huang Yimeng had a personal interest in (i) 2,100,000 Shares, and interested in (ii) 157,605,000 Shares as a beneficiary of the Happy Today Trust. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares under the Buy-back Mandate, then the attributable interest of Mr. Huang would be increased from approximately 37.31% to 41.46% of the total number of Shares in issue. Such increase would give rise to general offer obligation under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent which would trigger Mr. Huang’s general offer obligation under the Takeovers Code.
10. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the period from the Listing Date and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
