EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an Explanatory Statement as required by the Listing Rules, to provide certain information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 587,107,850 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase up to a maximum of 58,710,785 Shares, being 10 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution for granting the Repurchase Mandate.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange, or on any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed. Such repurchases 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 of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association of the Company, the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. Repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s paid up share capital plus funds available for dividends or distribution to Shareholders and the share premium account.

The exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company unless the Directors consider that such purchases are in the best interests of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Bermuda and the Bye-laws.

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell, or have undertaken not to sell, any Shares to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 or group of Shareholders’ interest, 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, Mr. WONG Wai Sheung, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Executive Director, and a substantial shareholder of the Company, together with parties presumed to be acting in concert with him under the Takeovers Code (“WWS Concert Group”) were interested in 253,280,787 Shares in aggregate, representing approximately 43.14% of the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the interest of the WWS Concert Group in the issued share capital of the Company would be increased from approximately 43.14% to approximately 47.93% and the WWS Concert Group would be obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would give rise to an obligation on the part of the WWS Concert Group to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Board is not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate.
