APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed view on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

  1. Share Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 5,643,797,090 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 564,379,709 Shares, representing 10% of the 5,643,797,090 issued Shares, during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

  1. Source of Funds

Repurchases must be funded out of fund legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the company is incorporated or otherwise established.

  1. Reasons for Repurchase

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

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the general mandate to repurchase Shares were to be exercised in full at the currently prevailing market value, it may have adverse impact on the working capital position and gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2020. The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to repurchase Shares 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 of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

  1. Disclosure of interests and minimum public holding

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their associates currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved.

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 Rule 32 of the Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders

acting in concert (as defined in the Code), 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 Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Dr. Kan was interested in 3,520,683,139 Shares, representing approximately 62.38% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors shall exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate in full and assuming there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of relevant resolution granting the Proposed Repurchase Mandate, the interest of the above Shareholder would be increased to approximately 69.31%. The Directors are not aware of any consequences of such increase under Rule 26 of the Code.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be held in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands.

The Company has not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
