To the best of the Directors’ knowledge information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry Mr. Lam Kwok Hing beneficially owns approximately 69.4% of the issued share capital of Asia Tele-Net as at the date of this announcement. Mr. Lam Kwok Hing was a Director in the last twelve months and is therefore a connected person of the Company. The Subscriber is an associate of Mr. Lam Kwok Hing and hence a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly the entering into of the Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder will constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The entering into of the Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be subject to the reporting announcement circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. 7TAKEOVERS CODE IMPLICATIONS Frustrating Action The Company is currently the subject of the Offer (please refer to the announcement dated 2 May 2024 and offer document dated 6 June 2024 published by the offeror for further details of the Offer). Under Rule 4 of the Takeovers Code once a bona fide offer has been communicated to the board of an offeree company or the board of an offeree company has reason to believe that a bona fide offer may be imminent no action which could effectively result in an offer being frustrated or in the shareholders of the offeree company being denied an opportunity to decide on the merits of an offer shall be taken by the board of the offeree company in relation to the affairs of the company without the approval of the shareholders in general meeting. The Proposed Share Subscription if materializes will constitute a frustrating action of the Company under Rule 4 of the Takeovers Code. The entering into of the Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder will therefore be subject to the shareholders’ approval requirement under Rule 4 of the Takeovers Code.Possible Whitewash Waiver If the Proposed Share Subscription materializes the Subscriber and parties acting in concert with it may or may not be interested in more than 30% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company immediately after completion of the Proposed Share Subscription depending on the subscription price of the subscription shares agreed upon by the Company and the Subscriber in the Share Subscription Agreement. In the event that the Subscriber and parties acting in concert with it are interested in more than 30% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company immediately after completion of the Proposed Share Subscription the Subscriber would be obliged under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer to the Shareholders and other securities holders of the Company for all the issued Shares and other securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Subscriber and parties acting in concert with it unless the Whitewash Waiver is obtained from the Executive. In this regard an application will be made by the Subscriber to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver in respect of the allotment and issue of the subscription shares if an obligation under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer to the Shareholders and other securities holders of the Company for all the issued Shares and other securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Subscriber and parties acting in concert with it arises as a result of the completion of the Share Subscription Agreement. 8The Whitewash Waiver if granted by the Executive will be subject to among others approval by the independent Shareholders at a special general meeting of the Company by way of a poll. The Proposed Share Subscription will not proceed if the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or not approved by the independent Shareholders. Monthly announcement(s) setting out the progress of the possible application of the Whitewash Waiver will be made by the Company.CONTINUED SUSPENSION OF TRADING Trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange has been suspended with effect from 9:00 a.m.on Tuesday 2 April 2024 pending the publication of the announcement in relation to the annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 and will remain suspended until further notice.The entering into of the Share Subscription Agreement may or may not proceed.
