APPENDIX A EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is the 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 Share Repurchase Mandate.

  1. Share Capital
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 2,485,652,351 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of ordinary resolution No. 5 set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorised under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total number of 248,565,235 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
  2. Reasons for Share Repurchases
    The Directors believe that the proposed granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the grant of the Share Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
  3. Funding of Share Repurchases
    In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose (e.g. distributable reserves) in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
  4. Impact of Share Repurchases
    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 financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Share 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 Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect 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.

APPENDIX A EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

  1. Takeovers Code
    If, as a result of a repurchase of the Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase 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 in the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and hereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, in the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholding of Huada/CEC would be increased to approximately 31.56% of the total number of Shares of the Company in issue. The Directors consider that such increase in shareholding would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Board will ensure that the Company will maintain a 25% public float as required under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.
