LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the A.4.2 to Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules and the article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Chenkai Ling, Mr. Huan Zhou, Mr. Tin Fan Yuen, Mr. Chester Tun Ho Kwok and Ms. Lily Li Dong will retire from office of Directors by rotation at the AGM.

Mr. Huan Zhou will not offer himself for re-election at the AGM due to his other business commitments which require more of his dedications. Mr. Zhou confirms that he has no claims whatsoever against the Company for fees, compensation for loss of office, remuneration, severance payments, pension, expenses or otherwise and he has no disagreement with the Board and there is no matter relating to his retirement that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or the Stock Exchange.

Being eligible, Mr. Chenkai Ling, Mr. Tin Fan Yuen, Mr. Chester Tun Ho Kwok and Ms. Lily Li Dong will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM, and ordinary resolutions numbered 2(a) to 2(d) respectively will be put forward to the Shareholders at the AGM.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, the biographical details (as at the Latest Practicable Date) of each of the Directors who stand for re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular. Subject to the requirements under the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association, a Shareholder may nominate a person to stand for election as a Director.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

Given the unconditional general mandate to buy back Shares granted by Shareholders at the last annual general meeting of the Company will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Buy-back Mandate, details of which are set out in the proposed ordinary resolution numbered 4 of the notice of the AGM. Assuming that there is no change in the issued Shares between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which would be allowed to be bought back under the Buy-back Mandate will be 637,660,036 Shares. The Directors have no immediate plan to exercise the Buy-back Mandate.

An explanatory statement containing the requisite information required by the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed resolution to approve the Buy-back Mandate at the AGM is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

Given the unconditional general mandate to issue Shares granted by Shareholders at the last annual general meeting of the Company will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate, details of which are set out in the proposed ordinary resolution numbered 5 of the notice of the AGM.

An ordinary resolution numbered 6 of the notice of the AGM will also be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by adding thereto of the number of Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, in order to allow flexibility and discretion to the Directors to issue shares.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

The Company may only apply funds legally available for share buy-back in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

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 Company's most recent published audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020) in the event that the Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buy-back 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.

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 granting of the Buy-back 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 granting of the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to buy-back Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back 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 Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Tencent was deemed to be interested in 3,589,233,111 Shares for the purpose of the SFO, representing approximately 56.29% of the total issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercised the Buy-back Mandate in full (assuming such shareholdings as at the Latest Practicable Date remain the same), the attributable shareholding in the Company in which Tencent is taken to have an interest under the SFO would be increased to approximately 62.54% of the total number of Shares in issue. It is considered that, in the absence of any special circumstances, an obligation to make a mandatory offer as referred to above as a result of a share buy-back is unlikely to arise. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the proposed Buy-back Mandate is exercised in full. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public fall below the relevant prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not bought back any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

If more than one proxy is appointed, the number of shares in respect of which each such proxy so appointed must be specified in the relevant proxy form. In light of the epidemic situation of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), shareholders of the Company may consider appointing the chairman of the Annual General Meeting as his/her proxy to vote on the resolutions, instead of attending the Annual General Meeting or any adjourned meeting in person.
    On a show of hands, every shareholder of the Company who is present in person (or, in the case of a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) shall have one vote. In the case of a poll, every shareholder of the Company present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a shareholder of the Company being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by him.

Delivery of the proxy form shall not preclude a shareholder of the Company from attending and voting in person at the meeting and, in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
  4. For determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the above meeting, the Register of Members of the Company will be closed from Monday, May 3, 2021 to Thursday, May 6, 2021, both dates inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares will be registered.
