APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE 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 grant of the Repurchase Mandate.
- SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,388,623,550 Shares and the Company did not have any treasury 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 grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 3,388,623,550 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 338,862,355 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
- REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the grant of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
Shares repurchase 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 and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
- FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE
The company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
- IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE AND INTERIM MEASURES
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 December 31, 2025) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase 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.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Following a repurchase of Shares, the Company may cancel any repurchased Shares and/or hold them as treasury shares subject to, among others, market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases, which may change due to evolving circumstances. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to pay attention to any announcement to be published by the Company in the future, including but without limitation, any relevant next day disclosure return (which shall identify, amongst others, the number of repurchased shares that are to be held in treasury or cancelled upon settlement of such repurchase, and where applicable, the reasons for any deviation from the intention statement previously disclosed) and any relevant monthly return.
For any treasury shares of the Company deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall, upon approval by the Board implement the below interim measures (collectively, the "Interim Measures") which include (without limitation):
(i) procuring its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS;
(ii) in the case of dividends or distributions (if any and where applicable), withdrawing 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 relevant record date for the dividend or distributions; or
(iii) taking any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury shares.

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 grant of the Repurchase 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 grant of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
The Company has confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE
If, as a result of any repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of our Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of our Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, our Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
To the best knowledge of the Company, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the proposed Repurchase Mandate of the Company.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
8. PUBLIC FLOAT
Any repurchase of Shares that results in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 15% of the Shares then in issue could only be implemented if the Stock Exchange agreed to waive the Listing Rules requirements regarding the public shareholding referred to above. It is believed that a waiver of this provision would not normally be granted other than in exceptional circumstances.
9. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
