APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information as to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 640,000,000 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could result in up to a maximum of 64,000,000 Shares (representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of Shares in issue at the date of the Annual General Meeting) being bought back by the Company during the period up to (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or the Companies Law or any other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) the revocation or variation of such authority by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have the general authority under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange. Repurchase of Shares will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company, the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the Company's net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Company is empowered by its Articles to repurchase its Shares. In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong, as the case may be. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, payment for a share repurchase by the Company may only be made out of profits, the share premium account or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose or out of capital of the Company. The amount of premium payable on a repurchase of Shares may only be paid out of either or both of the profits or out of the share premium of the Company or out of capital of the Company.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

In addition, under the laws of the Cayman Islands, payment out of capital by a company for the purchase by a company of its own shares is unlawful unless immediately following the date on which the payment is proposed to be made, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the shares so repurchased would be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital would not be reduced.

5. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING LEVEL

On the basis of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 (being the date of its latest audited accounts), the Directors consider that there is no material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to repurchase pursuant to the proposed resolution approving the grant of the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong in force from time to time.

7. DIRECTORS AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors, and to the best of the knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the close associates of the Directors have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 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 that he/she/it has undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC FLOAT

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company 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 of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, and if the present shareholdings remain the same at that time, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate by the Directors in full to repurchase the Shares will not result in an obligation on the part of any of Manford Investment, Mr. Tung Tsun Hong, Mr. Tung Wai Ting Stephen, Mr. Tung Cheuk Ming Stanley, Ms. Li Ka Mei, Ms. Lau Chung Chau, Ms. Tung Wei Ling Barbara, Mr. Li Chi Hiu Lawrence, Ms. Tung Wai Lai Mabel and Mr. Fung Cheong Chi, each of them being a Substantial Shareholder of the Company, to make a general offer under Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code, and accordingly, the Directors are not aware of any other consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. In this respect, the Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares to the extent that less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company will be held by the public.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
