APPENDIX III EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following explanatory statement contains all the information required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Share Buy-back Mandate.

  1. LISTING RULES
    The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:
    1. the shares to be bought back by a company must be fully paid-up;
    2. the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules; and
    3. all on market buy-back of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such buy-back, and a copy of such resolution together with the necessary documentation have been delivered to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.
  2. SHARE CAPITAL
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was US$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares of par value of US$0.01 each and the number of Shares in issue was 4,353,966,228.

The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to buy back any Shares pursuant to the Share Buy- back Mandate.

- 10 -

APPENDIX III EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

  1. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK
    The Directors believe that the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such Share buy-back may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements, result in an increase in net assets and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the Share Buy-back Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to buy back Shares if and when appropriate. The Directors will decide the number of Shares to be bought back on each occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are bought back at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
  2. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK
    It is envisaged that any Share Buy-back would be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose under the Cayman Islands law and the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. Under the Cayman Islands law, the Shares so bought back will be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital will not be reduced. The working capital or gearing position of the Company may be adversely affected in the event that the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the period which the Share Buy- back Mandate remains in force. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy- back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as is from time to time appropriate.

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is granted 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 Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 12 -

APPENDIX III EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

  1. TAKEOVERS CODE
    If, as a result of a buy-back of Shares, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company is increased, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 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 become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
    To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Tianrui (International) Holding Company Limited, the largest substantial shareholder of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested in 951,462,000 Shares representing approximately 21.85% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate in full, the shareholding of Tianrui (International) Holding Company Limited would be increased to approximately 24.28% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such an increase would not trigger an obligation to make a general offer pursuant to the Takeovers Code.
    Accordingly, 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. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.
  2. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY
    No buy-back of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) has been made by the Company during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

  3. A shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and vote at the annual general meeting covered by the above notice is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on his behalf.

A shareholder of the Company who is the holder of two or more shares is entitled to appoint one or more person(s) as his proxy/ proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him. If more than one proxy is so appointed, the appointment shall specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such proxy is so appointed.
  4. Taking into account the recent developments of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Company will implement the following prevention and control measures at the annual general meeting to safeguard the health and safety of the shareholders attending the annual general meeting:

To facilitate the ongoing prevention and control of COVID-19, the Company encourages that the shareholders, particularly those who are subject to quarantine in relation to COVID-19, consider appointing the Chairman of the annual general meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the annual general meeting, instead of attending the annual general meeting in person. The directors of the Company may participate at the annual general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the annual general meeting can communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously.
  6. Where there are joint holders of any share of the Company, any one of such joint holders may vote at the annual general meeting, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders be present at the annual general meeting, then one of the said persons so present whose name stands first on the register of shareholders of the Company in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.
  7. To be valid, the instrument appointing a proxy and the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy thereof must be deposited at the Company's share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the annual general meeting (i.e. not later than 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 27 May 2021) or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be).
