LETTER FROM THE BOARD

NEW ISSUE MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be given a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue or otherwise deal with Shares of up to 20% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the grant of the New Issue Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 494,335,330 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution approving the grant of the New Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the New Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 98,867,066 Shares. In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be authorised to allot, issue or otherwise deal with Shares in an amount equal to the aggregate Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

The New Issue Mandate will expire: (a) at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the Annual General Meeting; or (b) at the end of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Act or the Articles of Association to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever is the earliest.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be given a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase on the Stock Exchange Shares, up to a maximum of 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the grant of the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate will expire: (a) at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the Annual General Meeting; or (b) at the end of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Act or the Articles of Association to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever is the earliest.

An explanatory statement with all the information reasonably necessary for Shareholders to make an informed decision in relation to the Repurchase Mandate as required by the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to enable you to make an informed decision whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below. The Company is empowered by its memorandum and articles of association to repurchase its own shares.

  1. Shareholders' approval

The Listing Rules provide that all on-market shares repurchased by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval with reference to a specific transaction.

  1. Trading restrictions

Where the securities to be repurchased by a company are shares, such shares must be fully paid shares.

2. SHARES IN ISSUE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 494,335,330.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could accordingly result in up to 49,433,533 Shares (representing 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period prior to the next annual general meeting or any earlier date as referred to in the relevant ordinary resolutions.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate 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 and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the British Virgin Islands.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Group as compared with the position as at 31 December 2020, being the date on which its latest published audited consolidated accounts were made up. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Group which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve calendar months immediately preceding (and including) the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the Annual General Meeting and exercised.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make purchases of the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, applicable laws of the British Virgin Islands and the memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers ("Takeovers Code"). As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert 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, according to the register of interests kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, the following persons ("Substantial Shareholders") were directly or indirectly interested in 5% or more of the issued capital of the Company:

On the basis of 494,335,330 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would not result in any of Substantial Shareholders becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors also have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

- 10 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person of the Company had notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any securities to the Company nor has such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the securities held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.

7. SECURITIES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
