APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Buyback Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 1,363,544,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to buyback a maximum of 136,354,400 Shares which represent 10% of the total number of issued Shares during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the date on which the Buyback Mandate is varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS AND FUNDING OF BUYBACK

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

Buybacks of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. Any buyback of Shares will be made out of the profits of the Company, the share premium amount of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buyback or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the purchase over the par value of the Shares to be bought back must be provided for, out of either or both of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

The Directors would only exercise the power to buyback in circumstances where they consider that the buyback would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the Buyback Mandate was to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Buyback 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.

- 17 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates, as defined in the Listing Rules, currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, in the event that the Buyback 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 exercise the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Buyback Mandate is exercised.

TAKEOVER CODES

If as a result of a buyback of Shares by the Company pursuant to the Buyback 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. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the 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 knowledge and belief of the Directors, the details of the interests of the controlling shareholders of the Company were as follows:

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Notes:

  1. Dynasty Cook is owned (i) as to 41.67% by Dynasty Cayman and (ii) 58.33% by Good First HK. Good First HK is wholly owned by Good First BVI, a company wholly-owned by Ms. Wong. By virtue of the SFO, each of Dynasty Cook, Dynasty Cayman, Good First HK, Good First BVI and Ms. Wong is deemed to be interested in the same number of Shares in which Dynasty Cook is interested in.
  2. Fujia Group Holdings Limited is wholly-owned by Good First BVI, which is in turn wholly owned by Ms. Wong. By virtue of the SFO, each of Good First BVI and Ms. Wong is deemed to be interested in the same number of Shares in which Fujia Group Holdings Limited is interested in.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding of the abovementioned parties in the Company will be increased as set out above. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeover Codes as a result of any buyback of Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making buyback on the Stock Exchange if the result of the buyback 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 in public hands. The Directors do not propose to buyback Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

SHARE BUYBACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

No buyback of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) have been made by the Company during the period from the Listing Date up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

SHARE PRICES
