PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The health of Shareholders, staff and stakeholders is of paramount importance to us. In view of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (''COVID-19'') situation, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the Annual General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, staff and stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  • Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for all attendees at the entrance of the meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.
  • Compulsory wearing of a surgical face mask for all attendees throughout the meeting and inside the meeting venue. Any person who do not wear face masks may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.
  • All attendees must wash their hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer before entering the meeting venue.
  • No corporate gift will be given and no refreshment will be served.

In addition, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the meeting instead of attending the meeting in person, by completing and return the proxy form attached to this document.

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, the Company will closely monitor the situation and reserves the right to take further measures as appropriate in order to minimise any risk to Shareholders and others attending the Annual General Meeting and to comply with any requirements or recommendations of any government agencies from time to time.

The Company seeks the understanding and cooperation of all Shareholders to minimise the risk of community spread of COVID-19.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide all the information in relation to the Share Repurchase Mandate for your consideration.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASES OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to purchase their securities subject to certain restrictions.

All proposed repurchases of securities 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 a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up. A maximum of 10% of the issued capital as to the date of passing the relevant resolution may be repurchased on the Stock Exchange.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,016,348,000 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 101,634,800 Shares representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of the Company and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

It is presently proposed that any repurchase of the Shares would be made out of profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue made for the repurchase or out of capital provided that on the day immediately following the date of repurchase the Company is able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

5. IMPACT ON REPURCHASES

On the basis of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 (being the date of its latest audited accounts), the Directors consider that there is no material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company if the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing level (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts) which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. MARKET PRICES

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

7. GENERAL INFORMATION

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

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. UNDERTAKINGS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles.

9. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 the Takeovers Code.

Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders' interest, 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Billion Era International Limited, being the substantial Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) was beneficially interested in 416,171,689 Shares, respectively, representing approximately 40.95% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the interests of Billion Era International Limited, in the Company would be increased to approximately 45.50% of the issued share capital of the Company, which will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to an extent as may result in the amount of Shares held by the public below 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company nor to an extent as would result in an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as the above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate.
