On 25 February 2021, the Company made an announcement in relation to its audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2020 whereby the Board has recommended a final dividend of HK$2.00 per share for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The register of the members of the Company will be closed during the following periods:

  1. from Thursday, 6 May 2021 to Tuesday, 11 May 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered for the purpose of ascertaining Shareholders' entitlement to attend and vote at the AGM. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the AGM, all transfers of Shares accompanied by the relevant Share certificates must be lodged with the Company's share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4 : 00 p.m. on Wednesday, 5 May 2021; and
  2. from Monday, 17 May 2021 to Tuesday, 18 May 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered for the purpose of ascertaining the Shareholders' entitlement to the proposed final dividend. In order to qualify for the proposed final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2020, all transfers of Shares accompanied by the relevant Share certificates must be lodged with the Company's share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4 : 00 p.m. on Friday, 14 May 2021.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE ISSUE MANDATE

To provide flexibility to the Company to effectively raise funds by issuing of Shares, at the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be granted the Issue Mandate to issue, allot and deal with unissued Shares up to a maximum of 5% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 410,796,133 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to issue up to a maximum of 20,539,806 Shares. In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to increase the limit of the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares bought-back under the Buy-back Mandate.

Any Shares to be allotted and issued (whether for cash or otherwise) under the authority granted by the proposed Issue Mandate shall not be at a discount of more than 10% to the ''benchmarked price'' (as described in Rule 13.36(5) of the Listing Rules).

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Nomination Committee leads the Board appointment process, agrees the criteria for any appointment and engages external search consultants, as required. At the conclusion of this process, the Nomination Committee will nominate potential candidates for appointment to the Board. In exercise of its responsibilities, the Nomination Committee will regularly review the Board's structure, size and composition, including its skill, knowledge, independence and diversity to ensure it remains aligned with the Group's strategic directions.

Pursuant to article 113 of the Articles, Mr. Lok Kam Chong, John will retire from office as Director at the forthcoming annual general meeting, and being eligible, offer himself for re-election at the AGM pursuant to article 114 of the Articles.

Mr. Lok Kam Chong, John has served as an Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company for more than nine years. Nonetheless, the Company has received from him a confirmation of independence pursuant to the Listing Rules and Mr. Lok has not engaged in any executive management of the Group. As Independent Non-Executive Director with extensive experience in financial management and corporate controllership and an in-depth understanding of the Company's operations and business, he has expressed objective views and given independent guidance to the Company over the years. He continues to demonstrate a firm commitment to his role. The Directors consider that the long service of Mr. Lok would not affect his exercise of independent judgment and are satisfied that Mr. Lok has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of Independent Non-Executive Director. The Board considers the re-election of Mr. Lok as Director to be in the best interest of the Company and shareholders as a whole. Pursuant to Code Provision A.4.3 of the Corporate Governance Code set out in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, such re-election will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 19 May 2020, the Company made an announcement in relation to the appointments of Mr. Benjamin Loh Gek Lim and Ms. Patricia Chou Pei-Fen as Directors.

Biographical details of the above retiring Directors proposed for re-election at the AGM which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

NOTICE OF AGM

Notice of the AGM is set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular. A proxy form for appointing proxy is dispatched with this circular and published on the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.asmpacific.com). Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the proxy form in accordance with the instructions stated thereon and return it to the Company's share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM or any adjourned meeting. Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or at any adjournment thereof if you so wish. In such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

VOTING AT THE AGM

Pursuant to article 60.1 of the Articles, a resolution put to the vote of any general meeting shall be decided by way of a poll save that the chairman of the meeting may, in good faith, allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands.

An announcement on the results of the poll will be published by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including the Independent Non-Executive Directors) consider the declaration of a final dividend, the proposed granting of the Buy-back Mandate and Issue Mandate to the Directors, and the re-election of the retiring Directors who offer themselves for re-election to be in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors therefore recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions as set out in the notice of the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide certain information to you for your consideration of the Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 410,796,133 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back up to a maximum of 20,539,806 Shares, being 5% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution for granting the Buy-back Mandate.

2. REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS

The Directors believe that it is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

Buy-backs made pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

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 accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels of the Company.

5. GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the regulations set out in the Memorandum and the Articles.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected person that such a person has a present intention to sell, or has undertaken not to sell, any Shares to the Company, if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

If, as a result of a buy-back of Shares, the proportionate interest of a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders 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. Accordingly, the relevant Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the

- 9 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE

level of increase of the Shareholder's 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, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, ASM Pacific Holding B.V. (a wholly owned subsidiary of ASM International N.V.), which holds 103,003,000 Shares representing approximately 25.07% of the issued share capital of the Company, is the major shareholder of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, the interests of ASM Pacific Holding B.V. in the Company would increase to approximately 26.39% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase would not give rise to an obligation on ASM Pacific Holding B.V. to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code nor reduce the percentage of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the Company's total issued share capital.

Save as disclosed above, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, the Directors are currently not aware of any consequence which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy back made under the Buy-back Mandate nor reduce the percentage of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the Company's total issued share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date.

No Shares had been bought back by the Company, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, in the last six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
