Voting by proxy in advance of the 2021 AGM

The Company does not in any way wish to diminish the opportunity available to the Shareholders to exercise their rights and to vote, but is conscious of the pressing need to protect the Shareholders from possible exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the health and safety of the Shareholders, the Company would like to encourage Shareholders to exercise their right to vote at the 2021 AGM by appointing the chairman of the 2021 AGM as their proxy instead of attending the 2021 AGM in person. Physical attendance is not necessary for the purpose of exercising Shareholders' rights.

The Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the 2021 AGM to safeguard the health and safety of the attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders:

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide certain information for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 253,639,456 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company before the holding of the 2021 AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 25,363,945 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

2. REASON FOR REPURCHASES

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 repurchase its Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the shares of the Company may be listed. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be funded out of retained profits which are legally available for the purpose of making the proposed repurchases in accordance with the Company's Memorandum of Association, the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed period within which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing positions of the Company.

GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, if the Repurchase 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 only exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Bermuda, the Company's Memorandum of Association and the Bye-laws.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Company has not been notified by any core connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) that he/she/it has a present intention to sell, or has undertaken not to sell, any Shares held by him/her/it to the Company, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

If, on the exercise of the power of the Company to repurchase Shares 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 for the purposes 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 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 Takeovers Code to acquire all Shares not already owned by him/her/ it/them.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors' knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, they are not aware of any consequence which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares to such extent that would give rise to an obligation of a Shareholder to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or result in the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

No Shares had been repurchased by the Company, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
