To the Shareholders,

Dear Sir or Madam,

GENERAL MANDATES
TO BUY-BACK SHARES AND TO ISSUE SHARES,
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS,
AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION,
AND
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  1. INTRODUCTION

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on July 18, 2024, ordinary resolutions were passed giving general mandates to Directors (i) to buy-back Shares on the Stock Exchange up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at July 18, 2024 and (ii) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares up to 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at July 18, 2024, plus the aggregate number of Shares bought back by the Company.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules, these general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM, unless renewed at that meeting. Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to give the Directors the mandates to allot or issue new Shares or to grant rights to subscribe for or convert to new Shares and buy-back Shares in accordance with the terms of those resolutions.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information about resolutions to be proposed at the AGM regarding (i) the granting to the Directors of general and unconditional mandates for the issue and buy-back of the Shares of the Company; (ii) the re-election of Directors and (iii) the amendments to the Articles of Association.

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the granting of a general and unconditional mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy-back, at any time until the next annual general meeting of the Company or such earlier period as stated in the proposed ordinary resolution, Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution (the "Share Buy-back Mandate").

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with the requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution of granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the granting of a general and unconditional mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares (including any sale or transfer of Treasury Shares) or to grant options and rights to subscribe for any class of Shares or to convert securities into Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution until the next annual general meeting of the Company or such earlier period as stated in the proposed ordinary resolution (the "Share Issue Mandate"). In addition, an ordinary resolution to extend the Share Issue Mandate by adding the number of Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate will also be proposed at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue is 12,404,659,302 Shares. If the ordinary resolution granting the Share Issue Mandate to the Directors is passed at the AGM, and assuming that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the AGM, the Directors will be authorized under the Share Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 2,480,931,860 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) as at the date of passing the ordinary resolution at the AGM.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company understands the concern of Shareholders on possible dilution of their shareholding interest in the Company if the Share Issue Mandate is exercised and therefore would exercise great care when considering using the Share Issue Mandate. The Company had not exercised any general share issue mandate in the past 10 years, save as below: (i) on January 24, 2019, the Company issued US$675,000,000 3.375% convertible bonds due 2024 to professional investors (the “2024 Convertible Bonds”). During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued a total number of 276,529,011 Shares (representing 2.23% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) in respect of the 2024 Convertible Bonds in an aggregate principal amount of US$219,500,000 to the relevant bondholders from which it received conversion notices, under the general mandate granted to the Directors in 2018; (ii) on August 12, 2022, the strategic partnership with PCCW Limited was completed and 86,424,677 Shares (representing 0.70% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) were issued to PCCW Solutions Holdings Limited’s nominee under the general mandate granted to the Directors in 2021; and (iii) on August 26, 2022, the Company issued US$675,000,000 2.50% convertible bonds due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Bonds”) to professional investors. The 2029 Convertible Bonds, assuming full conversion at the current conversion price of HK$8.95 per Share, will be convertible into 591,171,787 Shares (representing 4.77% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) which, if and when issued, will be issued under general mandate granted to the Directors in 2022.

For completeness, during the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company issued, under specific mandates granted to the Directors in 2024, US$2,000,000,000 convertible bonds (the “Alat Convertible Bonds”) and 1,150,000,000 warrants (the “Warrants”), details of which were set out in the Company’s circular dated August 19, 2024. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares had been issued under the Alat Convertible Bonds or the Warrants.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Issue Mandate. However, given the market current situations and the rapidly changing landscape, the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Directors to have the Share Issue Mandate, as permitted under the Listing Rules, in place to provide the flexibility to raise funds when needed and to enable the Company to allot Shares quickly as consideration in a transaction. This would help to satisfy the strategic needs of the Company and in turn, enhance its growth and maximize Shareholders’ value.

Details of the proposed resolution on the Share Issue Mandate are set out in resolution (5) of the notice of the AGM.

4. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with article 95 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Wong Wai Ming (“Mr. Wong”) and Ms. Laura Green Quatela (“Ms. Quatela”), who were appointed as non-executive Directors after the annual general meeting held on July 18, 2024, shall hold office until the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Their appointment process was set out in page 69 of the Company’s 2024/25 Annual Report.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with article 107 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Yang Yuanqing (“Mr. Yang”), Mr. Zhu Linan (“Mr. Zhu”), Mr. Woo Chin Wan Raymond (“Mr. Woo”) and Ms. Yang Lan (“Ms. Yang”) will retire by rotation at the AGM and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

The director nominations were made in accordance with the nomination policy of the Company and the objective criteria (including without limitation, backgrounds, skills, experience and perspectives that would complement the existing Board), with due regard to the benefits of diversity as set out under the board diversity policy of the Company.

The Nomination and Governance Committee has also reviewed and considered the retiring Directors’ respective experience, skills and knowledge, in particular, (1) Mr. Yang in the information technology, international business and corporate strategy; (2) Mr. Zhu in business development, investment management, financial management, international business and corporate strategy; (3) Mr. Woo in audit, corporate restructuring, risk management and merger and acquisition; (4) Ms. Yang in media and artificial intelligence areas; (5) Mr. Wong in financial planning, accounting and financial reporting, risk management and corporate finance areas; and (6) Ms. Quatela in legal, intellectual property, government relations and environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas, and recommended to the Board that the re-election of all the retiring Directors be proposed for Shareholders’ approval at the AGM. In addition to the experience, skills and knowledge as mentioned above, the Board also considered that their cultural, educational background and professional experience and their respective geographic locations would bring valuable perspectives, knowledge, skills and experiences to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and their appointments would contribute to diversity of the Board appropriate to the requirements of the Company’s business.

Each of the independent non-executive Directors of the Company has given an annual confirmation of his/her independence pursuant to rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Nomination and Governance Committee assessed and reviewed the annual confirmation of independence having regard to the criteria set out in rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules provided by Mr. Woo and Ms. Yang. The Nomination and Governance Committee is of the view that Mr. Woo and Ms. Yang satisfied independence requirement as set out in rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and remain independent.

Details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

5. AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated May 22, 2025. The Board proposes to make certain amendments to the Articles of Association for the purpose of (i) aligning the Articles of Association with the most recent legal and regulatory requirements under the Company Ordinance and the Listing Rules, which allow the Company to hold Treasury Shares for potential future resale or transfer under specified conditions; (ii)


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

providing more flexibility to the Company in relation to the conduct of general meetings (including hybrid or fully electronic meetings); (iii) bringing the Articles of Association in line with the paperless regime and electronic dissemination of corporate communications by listed issuers and the relevant amendments made to the Listing Rules; and (iv) implementing consequential and other necessary housekeeping amendments to the Articles of Association.

Details of the proposed amendments are set out in Appendix III to this circular. A special resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the proposed amendments.

The Company has obtained a letter from its Hong Kong legal advisors confirming that the proposed amendments are in conformity with the requirements of the Listing Rules and applicable laws of Hong Kong.

6. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 51 to 56 of this circular.

Pursuant to 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 resolutions which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by show of hands. The chairman of the AGM will therefore put each of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to be voted by way of poll pursuant to the Articles of Association. An announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under the Listing Rules.

7. RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the proposed re-election of retiring Directors, the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Share Issue Mandate and the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

Yours faithfully,

By order of the Board

Yang Yuanqing

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with the requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate. It also constitutes the memorandum under section 239(2) of the Companies Ordinance.

  1. THE LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy-back its shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

(i) Shareholders’ approval

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed share buy-backs on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate to Director or by specific approval in relation to specific transactions. The shares proposed to be bought back by the company must be fully paid up.

(ii) Source of funds

Shares buy-backs must be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the company’s constitutional documents and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the company is incorporated or otherwise established.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue of the Company is 12,404,659,302 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate, and assuming that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the AGM, the Directors would be authorized 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 1,240,465,930 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) as at the date of passing the resolution at the AGM.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

3. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK

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

Share buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value 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. On the other hand, Shares repurchased and held by the Company as Treasury Shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, and the laws of Hong Kong.

4. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such buy-back in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of Hong Kong and the Listing Rules. Share buy-backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection, including profits otherwise available for distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for such purpose.

5. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

There might be an 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 for the year ended March 31, 2025 in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

6. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous 12 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Share prices (per Share)
Highest
HK$ Lowest
HK$
2024
June 12.26 10.48
July 11.54 9.75
August 10.46 9.15
September 11.00 8.82
October 11.94 10.12
November 10.52 8.91
December 10.60 9.06
2025
January 10.24 9.01
February 13.60 9.13

April 10.94 6.57
May 10.54 8.94
June (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) 9.45 8.73

7. DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST

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

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) 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.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

8. CONFIRMATION

The Directors will only exercise the powers of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong. Neither this explanatory statement nor the Share Buy-back Mandate has any unusual features.

The Company may cancel any Shares it bought back and/or hold such Shares as Treasury Shares following settlement of any such buy-back, subject to, amongst other things, the approval of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association under resolution no.7 at the AGM, the general market conditions and the capital management needs of the Company at the relevant time of the buy-back(s).

To the extent that any Treasury Shares are deposited with CCASS pending resale, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it does not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in the Company's own name as Treasury Shares. These measures may include that (i) the Company will not (or will procure its broker not to) give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will withdraw the Treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as Treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.

9. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

Pursuant to rule 32 of the Takeovers Code, if as the 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 of 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 and information of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Legend Holdings Corporation, its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Right Lane Limited, Legion Elite Limited and Kind Jasper Limited, together with other members of the concert party group formed pursuant to section 317 of the SFO, held an aggregate of 3,895,900,529 Shares, representing approximately $31.41\%$ of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company. Based on such ownership in voting rights and in the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to buy-back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, their collective ownership in the voting rights of the Company would be increased to approximately $34.90\%$. Such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

mandatory offer under rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not consider such increase would reduce the number of Shares held by the public to less than 25% (or the relevant prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the total number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

10. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not bought back any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
