5. J.P. Morgan is the financial adviser to the Offeror in respect of the Partial Offer. Accordingly, J.P. Morgan and persons controlling, controlled by or under the same control as J.P. Morgan (except exempt principal traders and exempt fund managers, in each case recognised by the Executive as such for the purpose of the Takeovers Code) are presumed to be acting in concert with the Offeror in relation to the Company in accordance with class 5 of the definition of ''acting in concert'' under the Takeovers Code. As confirmed by J.P. Morgan, as at 29 March 2021, members of J.P. Morgan group do not legally or beneficially own, control or have direction over any Shares (except in respect of Shares held by exempt principal traders or exempt fund managers, in each case recognised by the Executive as such for the purposes of the Takeovers Code). Notwithstanding that connected exempt principal traders within the J.P. Morgan group are not acting in concert with the Offeror, Shares held by any such connected exempt principal traders must not be assented to the Partial Offer until the Partial Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances in accordance with the requirements of Rule 35.3 of the Takeovers Code, and must not approve the Partial Offer and the Special Deal Agreements in accordance with the requirements of Rule 35.4 of the Takeovers Code, unless (i) the relevant connected exempt principal trader holds the Shares as a simple custodian for and on behalf of non-discretionary clients, and (ii) there are contractual arrangements in place between the relevant connected exempt principal trader and its clients that strictly prohibit the relevant connected exempt principal trader from exercising any voting discretion over the relevant Shares, and all voting instructions shall originate from the client only, and if no instructions are given, then no votes shall be cast for the relevant Shares held by the relevant connected exempt principal trader. For this purpose, a written confirmation of the matters set out in points (i) and (ii) above and whether the relevant underlying clients are entitled to vote in the context of the Partial Offer will be submitted to the Executive prior to the publication of the Composite Document.

As at the date of this joint announcement, save as disclosed in the monthly update announcement jointly published by the Offeror and the Company on 8 March 2021 and this joint announcement, there are no further updates on the fulfilment of the Pre-Conditions. The Offeror will continue to work towards satisfaction of the rest of the Pre-Conditions. Further announcement(s) in relation to the latest status of the Partial Offer will be made in due course.

Further announcement(s) will be made as and when appropriate in compliance with the Takeovers Code upon the satisfaction of the Pre-Conditions and the despatch of the Composite Document.

WARNING: As the making of the Partial Offer and the Option Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where applicable) of the Pre-Conditions, the Partial Offer and the Option Offer are a possibility only and may or may not be made. Accordingly, Shareholders and prospective investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their professional advisers.

Completion of the Partial Offer and the Option Offer is subject to the Conditions being fulfilled. Accordingly, the issue of this joint announcement does not in any way imply that the Partial Offer and the Option Offer will be completed. The transactions contemplated by the Special Deal Agreements may or may not proceed. Shareholders and prospective investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their professional advisers.
