CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The following is the explanatory statement given to all shareholders which is required by Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules and under the Share Buy Back Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

(I) GEM LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE SHARES

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognized by the Securities and Future Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the GEM Listing Rules provide the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

(II) SHARE CAPITAL

As the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 17,260,003,617 Shares.

(III) THE REPURCHASE PROPOSAL

The resolution set out in Resolution 5 in the notice convening the AGM which will be proposed at the AGM relates to the granting of a general and unconditional mandate (the “Repurchase Mandate”) to the Directors to repurchase, on GEM or any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed and recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission, Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing the resolution (the “Repurchase Proposal”). Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 17,260,003,617 shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, would result in 1,726,000,361 shares (representing 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company).

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 1,726,000,361 fully paid-up Shares (representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM) during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-Laws or the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended) to be held; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

(IV) REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing the Shares, they believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchase may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangement at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

(V) FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-Laws, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase of Shares would be derived from the capital paid up on the Shares being repurchased and from the distributable profits of the Company.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts as at 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

(VII) GENERAL INFORMATION

• (b) The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Bye-Laws, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

• (c) No core connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

(VIII) TAKEOVERS CODE

If as the result of a repurchase of the Shares, 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 the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Whitecrow Investment Ltd., wholly-owned by Mr. Zhu Ning, a substantial shareholder of the Company and an Executive Director, held 1,440,601,703 Shares, representing approximately 8.35% of the existing entire issued share capital of the Company, and Youzan Teamwork Inc., the 26% equity interest of which is owned by Mr. Zhu Ning, held 363,170,101 Shares, representing approximately 2.10% of the existing entire issued share capital of the Company, having a total of 1,803,771,804 Shares, representing approximately 10.55% of the existing entire issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, the equity interest of Mr. Zhu Ning in the Company through the companies he owned would be increased to approximately 11.61% of the issued share capital of the Company. No obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code would arise.

(IX) SHARES PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any Shares (whether on the GEM or otherwise) in the previous six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
