LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK AND ISSUANCE MANDATES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 24 May 2023, general mandates were granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back Shares and to issue Shares respectively. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

In order to give the Company the flexibility to buy back and issue Shares if and when appropriate, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

• (a) to buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange of not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 5 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 15 to 19 of this circular (i.e. a total of 26,700,480 Shares on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the “Share Buy-back Mandate”);

• (b) to allot, issue or deal with additional Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 6 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 15 to 19 of this circular (i.e. a total of 53,400,960 Shares on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the “Share Issuance Mandate”); and

• (c) to extend the Share Issuance Mandate by adding the number of Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

The Share Buy-back Mandate and the Share Issuance Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the Annual General Meeting or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in items 5 and 6 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 15 to 19 of this circular. With reference to the Share Buy-back Mandate and the Share Issuance Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to buy back any Shares or issue any Shares pursuant thereto.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Share Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS AND CONTINUOUS APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHO HAS SERVED MORE THAN NINE YEARS

Pursuant to Bye-law 85(1) of the Current Bye-laws, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation.

Pursuant to Bye-law 85(2) of the Current Bye-laws, a retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

According to Bye-laws 85(1) and 85(2) of the Current Bye-laws, Mr. Chan Yau Wah and Mr. Li Yuen Kwan, Joseph shall retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. All of the two retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the said meeting.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders’ approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of Mr. Chan Yau Wah and Mr. Li Yuen Kwan, Joseph are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Pursuant to the code provision set out in paragraph B.2.3 of Appendix C1 of the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive director has served more than nine years, such director’s further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders.

Mr. LI Yuen Kwan, Joseph is an independent non-executive Director serving the Company since 2005. Separate resolution will be proposed for his re-election at the Annual General Meeting. The Company has received from Mr. LI Yuen Kwan, Joseph a confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, and Mr. LI Yuen Kwan, Joseph has not engaged in any executive management of the Group. Mr. LI Yuen Kwan, Joseph has a comprehensive experience in business management and investment economics. During his 35-year career, he has provided advice to several companies on industrial revolution with his professional and accurate judgement, contributing to significant revenue growth. The Company has relied on the broad economic perspective of Mr. LI Yuen Kwan, Joseph through his professional advice on new investment project research, diversified operations and corporate governance, which has positively impacted on the decisions of the Board. Taking into consideration of his independent scope of work in the past years, the Board considers that Mr. LI Yuen Kwan, Joseph is able to continue to independently fulfill his role as independent non-executive Director despite the fact that Mr. LI Yuen Kwan, Joseph has served the Company for more than nine years.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Nomination Committee of the Company has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company’s board diversity policy and director nomination policy and the Company’s corporate strategy, and the independence of all independent non-executive Directors. The Nomination Committee of the Company has recommended to the Board on re-election of all the retiring Directors including the aforesaid independent non-executive Directors who are due to retire at the Annual General Meeting. The Company considers that the retiring independent non-executive Directors are independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules and will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity.

4. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 15 to 19 of this circular. At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and the Share Issuance Mandate, the extension of the Share Issuance Mandate by the addition thereto of the number of Shares bought back pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors.

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (http://www.kpihl.com). To be valid, the form of proxy must be completed and signed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposited, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a certified copy of that power of attorney or authority, at the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong, as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Annual General Meeting (i.e. not later than 10:00 a.m. on 22 May 2024 (Wednesday)). Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting if you so wish.

5. VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, the Company will procure that the chairman of the Annual General Meeting shall demand voting on all resolutions set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting be taken by way of poll. The chairman would explain the detailed procedures for conducting a poll at the commencement of the Annual General Meeting.

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy shall have one vote for every fully paid Share held. A Shareholder present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy who is entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all his votes in the same way.

6

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

After the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, an announcement on the poll vote results will be published by the Company in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

6. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate, the granting/extension of the Share Issuance Mandate, the re-election of the retiring Directors and continuous appointment of independent non-executive Director who has served more than nine years as aforesaid are each in the best interests of the Company, the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

7. GENERAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in Appendix I (Explanatory Statement on the Share Buy-back Mandate) and Appendix II (Details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting) to this circular.

Yours faithfully, On behalf of the Board Lai Pei Wor Chairman

7

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 267,004,800 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 267,004,800 Shares, the Directors would be authorised under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back, during the period in which the Share Buy-back Mandate remains in force, a total of 26,700,480 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Shares buy-back 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. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be bought back on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are bought back will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

The Company may only apply funds legally available for Share buy-back in accordance with its memorandum of association and Current Bye-laws, the laws of Bermuda and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and the Current Bye-laws to buy back Shares. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital paid in connection with a share buy-back by a company may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on buy-back may only be paid out of the funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the company before the shares are bought back.

8

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

Bought-back Shares shall be treated as cancelled and the amount of the Company’s issued capital shall be diminished by the nominal value of those Shares accordingly; but the purchase of shares under this section shall not be taken as reducing the amount of the Company’s authorised share capital.

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 accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023) in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share 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.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, 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 interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Lai Pei Wor, the substantial shareholder of the Company and the chairman and an executive Director of the Company, was interested in 134,086,000 Shares, representing approximately 50.22% of the total issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting, the interests of Mr. Lai Pei Wor in the issued Shares would be increased to approximately 55.80% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Such an increase may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would give rise to this obligation.

In addition, the Directors consider that the full exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate will not lead to the percentage of the Company’s public float falling below 25% of the Company’s total issued share capital.

9

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

The Company has confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share buy-back has any unusual features.

7. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months were as follows:
