APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

REPURCHASE OF SHARES

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration in connection with the Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$100,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares, among which an aggregate of 458,600,000 Shares were issued and fully paid-up.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution at the AGM approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 45,860,000 Shares until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the AGM; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation and variation of the authority given under such resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company following the AGM.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the proposed grant of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Repurchase Mandate will give the Company the flexibility to repurchase Shares as and when appropriate. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the 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 repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase Shares in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

REPURCHASE OF SHARES

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such repurchase in accordance with the Memorandum of Association, the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the laws of the Cayman Islands and other applicable laws. Repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilised in this connection, including the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for such purpose.

IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an 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.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor, any of their close associates have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

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 repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum of Association, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

REPURCHASE OF SHARES

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company, 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 Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (with the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders' shareholding, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. A waiver of this provision would not normally be given except in extraordinary circumstances.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the registers required to be kept by the Company under section 336 of the SFO, and to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the following Shareholders were directly or indirectly, interested in 5% or more of the Company's issued share capital:

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate.
