LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. 2. SHARE CAPITAL As at the Latest Practicable Date the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1715126147 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution for repurchase of Shares and on the basis that no further new Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 171512614 Shares representing 10% of the existing issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date. 3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. When exercising the Repurchase Mandate the Directors may subject to market conditions and the Company’s capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases resolve to cancel the Shares repurchased following settlement of any such repurchase or hold them as treasury shares. Such repurchases for cancellation may depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per share and/or the earnings per share. On the other hand Shares repurchased and held by the Company as treasury shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company or transferred or used for other purposes subject to compliance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. Share repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. 4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES OF SHARES Any repurchase of securities of the Company would be funded entirely from the cash flow or working capital facilities available to the Company and will in any event be made out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. Such funds include but are not limited to profits available for distribution. Purchases may only be effected out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose or if so authorised by its Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law out of capital. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account or if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law out of capital.– 18 –APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE 5. IMPACT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31 2023 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.However the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase 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. SHARE PRICES The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares (excluding any treasury shares) have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows: Share prices (per Share) Highest Lowest HK$ HK$ 2023 May 8.41 5.62 June 6.37 5.24 July 6.13 5.07 August 5.66 4.38 September 5.13 3.93 October 4.12 3.50 November 4.22 3.44 December 3.55 2.88 2024 January 3.44 2.48 February 3.49 2.40 March 3.49 2.57 April 2.86 2.24 May (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 3.05 2.53 7. UNDERTAKING The Directors have undertaken that so far as the same may be applicable they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.– 19 –APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE 8. GENERAL None of the Directors nor to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders.No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.The Company confirms that the explanatory statement set out in this Appendix II contains the information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules and that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has unusual features.Following a repurchase of Shares the Company may cancel any repurchased Shares and/or hold them as treasury shares subject to among others market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases which may change due to evolving circumstances.For any treasury shares of the Company deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange the Company shall upon approval by the Board implement the below interim measures (collectively the “Interim Measures”) which include (without limitation): (i) procuring its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions (if any and where applicable) withdrawing the treasury shares from CCASS and either re-register them in its own name as treasury shares or cancel them in each case before the relevant record date for the dividend or distributions; and (iii) taking any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any Shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury shares. 9. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC SHAREHOLDING If on exercise of the power to repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting-in-concert 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.– 20 –APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE As at the Latest Practicable Date according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors Mr. Zhao Lin and Ms. Peng Xin are interested in 1007281120 Shares representing approximately 58.73% of the total number of Shares in issue. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate then the attributable interest of Mr. Zhao Lin and Ms. Peng Xin would be increased from approximately 58.73% to approximately 65.25% of the total number of Shares in issue. Such increase would not give rise to a general offer obligation under the Takeovers Code. However the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent such that the general offer obligation would be triggered and will not effect repurchases to such extent which would result in the number of Shares held by the public falling below the minimum public float under the public float waiver granted by the Stock Exchange. 10. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY The Company has repurchased a total of 5358000 Shares on the Stock Exchange during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date the details of which were as follows: Number of Shares Highest price Lowest price Date of repurchase repurchased paid per Share paid per Share HK$ HK$ January 18 2024 705000 3.02 2.91 January 19 2024 790000 2.99 2.90 January 22 2024 50000 2.70 2.70 January 23 2024 935000 2.97 2.85 January 24 2024 285000 3.07 2.90 January 25 2024 415000 3.01 2.97 January 26 2024 197000 2.90 2.87 February 14 2024 132500 2.75 2.64 April 5 2024 411000 2.54 2.49 April 11 2024 374000 2.69 2.64 April 16 2024 1063500 2.50 2.39 5358000 All the repurchased Shares were not yet cancelled as at the Latest Practicable Date.
