Dear Sir/Madam

(1) GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES; (2) RENEWAL OF SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE;

(3) RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;

AND

(4) PROPOSED DECLARATION OF FINAL DIVIDEND

1. BACKGROUND

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with the relevant information for the purposes of seeking the approval of the Shareholders at the 2021 AGM for, amongst other things, the proposed (i) General Mandate, (ii) renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate, (iii) re-election of Directors and (iv) declaration of final dividend.

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

An ordinary resolution as set out in the Notice of 2021 AGM will be proposed at the 2021 AGM, pursuant to Section 161 of the Act, the Listing Manual and the Hong Kong Listing Rules, to seek the approval of the Shareholders to authorise and empower the Directors to:

(a) (i) issue Shares in the Company, whether by way of rights, bonus or otherwise; and/or

  • (ii) make or grant offers, agreements or options (collectively, "Instruments") that might or would require Shares to be issued during the continuance of such authority or thereafter, including but not limited to the creation and issue (as well as adjustments to) options, warrants, debentures or other instruments convertible into Shares,

at any time and upon such terms and conditions and for such purposes and to such persons as the Board may, in their absolute discretion, deem fit; and

(b) issue Shares in pursuance of any Instrument made or granted by the Board while such authority was in force (notwithstanding that such issue of the Shares pursuant to the Instruments may occur after the expiration of the authority contained in such ordinary resolution);

provided always, that subject to any applicable regulations as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST and the SEHK,

  • (1) the aggregate number of Shares to be issued pursuant to such resolution approving the General Mandate (including Shares to be issued in pursuance of Instruments made or granted pursuant to such resolution approving the General Mandate) does not exceed 100% of the issued shares in the capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) (as calculated in accordance with subparagraph (2) below) of which the aggregate number of Shares to be issued other than on a pro-rata basis to Shareholders of the Company (including Shares to be issued in pursuance of Instruments made or granted pursuant to such resolution approving the General Mandate) does not exceed 20% of the issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) in the capital of the Company (as calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) below);

  • (2) (subject to such manner of calculation as may be prescribed by the SGX-ST and SEHK) for the purpose of determining the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under sub-paragraph (1) above, the percentage of issued Shares shall be based on the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings) in the capital of the Company at the time of the passing of such resolution approving the General Mandate, after adjusting for:

  • (a) new Shares arising from the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities;

  • (b) new Shares arising from exercising share options or vesting of share awards; and

  • (c) any subsequent bonus issue, consolidation or subdivision of Shares.

Adjustments in accordance with Rule 806(3)(a) or Rule 806(3)(b) of the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST are only to be made in respect of new shares arising from convertible securities, share options or share awards which were issued and outstanding or subsisting at the time of the passing of the resolution approving the General Mandate.

  • (3) in exercising the authority conferred by the General Mandate, the Company shall comply with the provisions of the Listing Manual (unless such compliance has been waived by the SGX-ST), the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Constitution; and

  • (4) unless revoked or varied by the Shareholders in general meeting, such authority conferred by such resolution approving the General Mandate shall continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of such resolution or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law to be held, whichever is the earlier.

On 8 April 2020, SGX RegCo issued a news release which introduced measures to support issuers amid the challenging business and economic climate due to COVID-19, including enabling the acceleration of fund-raising efforts by allowing Mainboard issuers to provisionally seek a general mandate for an issue of shares and convertible securities on a pro rata basis of up to an aggregate of 100% of its issued shares (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings), versus 50% previously (the "Enhanced Share Issue Limit").

The Company is proposing to avail itself of these measures and to seek Shareholders' approval for a general mandate with an Enhanced Share Issue Limit at the upcoming 2021 AGM. The Board of Directors is of the view that it would be in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders to seek approval up to the Enhanced Share Issue Limit granted by SGX RegCo for flexibility to react to unforeseen circumstances amid the COVID-19 situation, where possible.

The Enhanced Share Issue Limit may be renewed at the 2021 AGM and is only valid until 31 December 2021, by which date any shares issued pursuant to the Enhanced Share Issue Limit must be listed, and no further shares may be issued under that limit.

The Company will notify SGX RegCo, by way of email toenhancedsharelimit@sgx.com, of the date on which the General Mandate with the Enhanced Share Issue Limit has been approved by Shareholders.

Notwithstanding the above, it must be noted that the Hong Kong Listing Rules provide the General Mandate obtained from Shareholders in general meeting shall be subject to a restriction that the aggregate number of Shares allotted or agreed to be allotted under the General Mandate must not exceed 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date the resolution approving the General Mandate. The Company will comply with the requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules or the Listing Manual for matters relating to general mandate, whichever is more onerous.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 2,602,817,726 Shares in issue and the maximum number of Shares that can be issued other than on a pro-rata basis to the Shareholders is 520,563,545 Shares, being 20% of the Shares in issue (assuming no Share is issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the passing of the relevant resolution).

3. RENEWAL OF SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE

The details of the proposed renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate are set out in the Appendix A to this circular.

4. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Mr. Yeo Guat Kwang, Mr. An Hongjun and Mr. Zhong Ming, the independent non-executive Directors, shall retire from the office of Director at the 2021 AGM in accordance with the Constitution and the Hong Kong Listing Rules. All the aforesaid retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the 2021 AGM. Biographical details of the above-mentioned retiring Directors, which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Listing Manual, are set out in Appendix B to this circular.

5. DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATION

Save for Mr. Zhou Jun, who is required to abstain from recommending for Shareholders to vote in favour of the proposed Share Purchase Mandate, the Directors are of the opinion that (i) the General Mandate; (ii) the proposed renewal of Share Purchase Mandate; and (iii) the proposed re-election of the retiring Directors is in the interests of the Company. Accordingly, save for Mr. Zhou Jun, the Directors recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of the re solutions as set out in the Notice of 2021 AGM.

6. DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The expected payment date of the final dividend is on or about 31 May 2021.

Dear Sir/Madam

26 March 2021

THE PROPOSED RENEWAL OF THE SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE

We refer to the circular to the Shareholders of the Company dated 26 March 2021, convening the 2021 AGM and resolution 11 set out under "Special Business" in the Notice of the 2021 AGM ("Resolution 11").

1. BACKGROUND

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 June 2020 ("2020 AGM"), Shareholders had approved the renewal of the share purchase mandate to enable the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire issued Shares. The authority conferred on the Directors under the share purchase mandate at the 2020 AGM will expire on the date of the forthcoming 2021 AGM. The resolution relating to the proposed renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate is set out in Resolution 11.

The purpose of this Appendix is to provide the Shareholders with the relevant information in relation to the proposed renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate and to seek the approval of the Shareholders at the 2021 AGM for the proposed renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate.

2. RATIONALE FOR THE SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE

The Share Purchase Mandate will give the Company the opportunity and flexibility to undertake Share Purchases if and when circumstances permit with a view to, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements improving, inter alia, its return on equity. Share Purchases provide the Company with an easy mechanism to facilitate the return of surplus cash over and above its ordinary capital requirements in an expedient and cost-efficient manner.

The Company will only make Share Purchases pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate when it considers it to be in the interests of the Company and in circumstances which it believes will not result in any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company or the Group, and/or affect the listing status of the Company on the SGX-ST or the SEHK or result in the Company being insolvent.

3. AUTHORITY AND LIMITS ON THE SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE

3.1 The authority and limitations placed on the Share Purchase Mandate, if renewed at the 2021 AGM, are set out below:-

(a) Maximum Number of Shares

The total number of Shares which may be purchased or acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate is limited to that number of Shares representing not more than ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued Shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company as at the date of the 2021 AGM ("Approval Date"). Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings will be disregarded in the computation of the 10% limit.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no Treasury Shares or subsidiary holdings. Purely for illustrative purposes, on the basis of the existing issued share capital (excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings) of the Company as the Latest Practicable Date of 2,602,817,726 Shares, and assuming that, no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Approval Date, not more than approximately 260,281,772 Shares (representing approximately ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the 2021 AGM) may be purchased or acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate.

(b) Duration of Authority

Share Purchases may be made, at any time and from time to time, on and from the Approval Date, up to the earlier of:-

  • (i) the date on which the next AGM is held or is required by law or the Constitution to be held;

  • (ii) the date on which Share Purchases pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate is carried out to the full extent mandated; or

  • (iii) the date on which the authority conferred by the Share Purchase Mandate is revoked or varied by Shareholders in a general meeting.

(c) Manner of Share Purchases

  • (i) Share Purchases may be made by way of:-

    • (1) an On-Market Share Purchase (through normal ready counters and/or special trading counter); and/or

    • (2) an Off-Market Share Purchase effected pursuant to an equal access scheme.

  • (ii) An equal access scheme under an Off-Market Share Purchase must satisfy all the following conditions:-

    • (1) offers for the Share Purchases shall be made to every person who holds issued Shares to purchase or acquire the same percentage of their issued Shares;

    • (2) all of the abovementioned persons shall be given a reasonable opportunity to accept the offers made; and

    • (3) the terms of all the offers shall be the same, except that there shall be disregarded:

      (A) differences in consideration attributable to the fact that offers may relate to Shares with different accrued dividend entitlements;

      (B) differences in consideration attributable to the fact that offers relate to Shares with different amounts remaining unpaid (if applicable); and

(C) differences in the offers introduced solely to ensure that each person is left with a whole number of Shares.

(iii) In addition, the Listing Manual provides that, in making an Off-Market Share

Purchase, the Company must issue an offer document to all Shareholders which must contain at least the following information:

  • (1) the terms and conditions of the offer;

  • (2) the period and procedures for acceptance; and

  • (3) information required under Rules 883(2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of the Listing Manual.

(iv) In Hong Kong, companies with a primary listing of its equity securities in

Hong Kong may only engage an Off-Market Share Purchase approved in accordance with Rule 2 of the Hong Kong Repurchase Code. According to the Hong Kong Repurchase Code, Off-Market Share Purchases must be approved by the executive director of the Corporate Finance Division of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong before a repurchasing company acquires any shares pursuant to such Share Purchases. Such approval will normally be conditional upon, amongst others, approval of the proposed Off-Market Share Purchase by at least three-fourths of the votes cast on a poll by disinterested shareholders in attendance in person or by proxy at a general meeting of shareholders duly convened and held to consider the proposed transaction. The repurchasing company should also comply with such other applicable requirements under the Hong Kong Repurchase Code. Accordingly, even if the Share Purchase Mandate shall have been approved by Shareholders at the 2021 AGM, the Company will still be required to convene a general meeting to seek specific approval from the Shareholders in the event it wishes to conduct an Off-Market Share Purchase in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Repurchase Code.

(d) Maximum Purchase Price

  • (i) The purchase price (excluding brokerage, stamp duties, commission, applicable goods and services tax and other related expenses) to be paid for a Share will be determined by the Directors.

  • (ii) However, the purchase price to be paid for the Shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate must not exceed:-

    (1) in the case of an On-Market Share Purchase, One Hundred and Five per cent. (105%) of the Average Closing Price (as defined below) of the Shares; and

(2) in the case of an Off-Market Share Purchase, One Hundred and Twenty per cent. (120%) of the Average Closing Price of the Shares,

(the "Maximum Price")

(iii) For the above purposes:

"Average Closing Price" means the average of the closing market prices of the Shares over the last five (5) Market Days (a "Market Day" being a day on which the SGX-ST or the SEHK, as the case may be, is open for securities trading), on which transactions in the Shares were recorded, immediately preceding the date of the On-Market Share Purchase or, as the case may be, the date of the offer pursuant to the Off-Market Share Purchase, and deemed to be adjusted for any corporate action that occurs during the relevant five (5) Market Days and the day on which the On-Market Share Purchase or the date of the offer pursuant to the Off-Market Share Purchase, as the case may be, is made; and

"date of making of the offer" means the date on which the Company announces its intention to make an offer for the purchase or acquisition of the Shares to holders of the Shares, stating the purchase price (which shall not be more than the Maximum Price determined on the foregoing basis) for each Share and the relevant terms of the equal access scheme for effecting the Off-Market Share Purchase.

3.2 Status of purchased Shares

A Share purchased or acquired by the Company is deemed cancelled immediately on purchase or acquisition (and all rights and privileges attached to the Share will expire on such cancellation) unless such Share is held by the Company as a Treasury Share.

Accordingly, the total number of issued Shares will be diminished by the number of Shares purchased or acquired by the Company and which are not held as Treasury Shares.

Shares repurchased by the Company

As the Company is concurrently primary listed on the SGX-ST and SEHK, the Company is required to comply with the relevant Singapore and Hong Kong laws, the Listing Manual and the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Companies listed on the SEHK are generally not allowed to hold Treasury Shares. Pursuant to Rule 10.06(5) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the listing of all purchased Shares by the Company (whether on the SEHK or otherwise) shall be automatically cancelled upon such purchase. Accordingly, as the Company is listed on SEHK, any Shares purchased, redeemed or acquired pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate will be cancelled.

3.3 Reporting requirements

(a) Rule 886(1) of the Listing Manual specifies that a listed company shall notify the SGX-ST of all purchases or acquisitions of its shares not later than 9.00 a.m.:-

  • (i) in the case of an On-Market Share Purchase, on the Market Day following the day on which the On-Market Share Purchase was made; and

  • (ii) in the case of an Off-Market Share Purchase under an equal access scheme, on the second Market Day after the close of acceptances of the offer.

The notification of such purchases or acquisitions of Shares to the SGX-ST shall be in such form of Appendix 8.3.1 to the Listing Manual (or Appendix 8.3.2 for a company with a dual-listing on another stock exchange) and shall include such details that the SGX-ST may prescribe.

Under the Hong Kong Listing Rules, after a listed issuer has made a purchase of its shares whether on the SEHK or otherwise, the listed issuer shall:

  • (b) submit for publication to the SEHK not later than 30 minutes before the earlier of the commencement of the morning trading session or any pre-opening session on the business day following any day on which the issuer makes a purchase of shares (whether on the SEHK or otherwise), the total number of shares purchased by the issuer the previous day, the purchase price per share or the highest and lowest prices paid for such purchases of shares, where relevant, and shall confirm that those purchases of shares which were made on the SEHK were made in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and if the issuer's primary listing is on the SEHK, that there have been no material changes to the particulars contained in the explanatory statement issued by the listed issuer in relation to the mandate pursuant to which such purchase of shares is made. In respect of purchases of shares made on another stock exchange, the issuer's report must confirm that those purchases were made in accordance with the domestic rules applying to purchases on that other stock exchange. Such reports shall be made on a return in such form and containing such information as the SEHK may from time to time prescribe. In the event that no shares are purchased on any particular day then no return need be made to the SEHK; and

  • (c) include in its annual report and accounts a monthly breakdown of purchases of shares made during the financial year under review showing the number of shares purchased each month (whether on the SEHK or otherwise) and the purchase price per share or the highest and lowest price paid for all such purchases, where relevant, and the aggregate price paid by the issuer for such purchases. The section headed "Report of Directors" in the annual report shall contain reference to the purchases made during the year and the reasons for making such purchases.

3.4 Source of Funds

In purchasing or acquiring Shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purchase in accordance with relevant Singapore and Hong Kong laws, the Listing Manual, the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the Constitution. Under the Act, any payment made by the Company in consideration of the purchase or acquisition of its Shares may be made out of the Company's capital and/or profits so long as the Company is solvent.

The Company intends to use internal sources of funds, external borrowings, or a combination of internal resources and external borrowings, to finance purchases or acquisitions of its Shares. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Purchase Mandate to such extent that it would materially affect the working capital requirements, financial flexibility or investment ability of the Group.

4. ILLUSTRATIVE FINANCIAL EFFECTS

Under the Act, purchases or acquisitions of Shares by the Company may be made out of the Company's capital or profits.

Where the purchased Shares are cancelled (as is required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules), a reduction by the total amount of the purchase price paid by the Company for the Shares cancelled will be made to:-

  • (a) the share capital of the Company where the Shares were purchased out of the capital of the Company;

  • (b) the profits of the Company where the Shares were purchased out of the profits of the Company; or

  • (c) the share capital and profits of the Company proportionately where the Shares were purchased out of both the capital and profits of the Company.

Where the purchased Shares are held as Treasury Shares, the total number of issued Shares of the Company remains unchanged. However, it should be noted that the Company is not allowed to hold Treasury Shares pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Where the consideration paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition of Shares is made out of profits, such consideration (excluding related brokerage, goods and services tax, stamp duties and clearance fees) will correspondingly reduce the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by the Company.

Where the consideration paid by the Company for the purchase or acquisition of Shares is made out of capital, the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by the Company will not be reduced.

The amount of funding required for the Company to purchase or acquire its Shares and the financial impact on the Company and the Group arising from purchases of Shares which may be made pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate will depend on, inter alia, the aggregate number of Shares purchased or acquired and the consideration paid at the relevant time.

The impact of purchases or acquisitions under the Share Purchase Mandate, including on NTA per Share, EPS and gearing of the Company and the Group will depend, inter alia, on the number of Shares purchased or acquired, the price at which they are purchased or acquired and the manner in which the purchase or acquisition is funded. It is therefore not possible to realistically calculate or quantify the impact at this point of time.

For purposes of illustration only, based on the existing number of Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, the proposed Share Purchases or acquisitions by the Company of up to a maximum of ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company under the Share Purchase Mandate will result in the purchase of up to 260,281,772 Shares.

In the case of an On-Market Share Purchase by the Company, based on the existing issued and paid-up capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and the assumption that, pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate, the Company purchases the maximum number of 260,281,772 Shares at the Maximum Price of S$0.192 per Share (being the price equivalent to five per cent. (5%) above the Average Closing Price immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date), the maximum amount of funds required for the purchase of 260,281,772 Shares (excluding brokerage, stamp duties, commission, applicable goods and services tax and other related expenses) is approximately S$49,974,100 (or RMB243,420,000 based on an exchange rate of S$1: RMB4.8709, being the closing exchange rate as at the Latest Practicable Date).

In the case of Off-Market Share Purchase by the Company, based on the existing issued and paid-up capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and the assumption that, pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate, the Company purchases the maximum number of 260,281,772 Shares at the Maximum Price of S$0.219 per Share (being the price equivalent to twenty per cent. (20%) above the Average Closing Price immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date), the maximum amount of funds required for the purchase of 260,281,772 Shares (excluding brokerage, stamp duties, commission, applicable goods and services tax and other related expenses) is approximately S$57,001,708 (or RMB277,651,000 based on an exchange rate of S$1: RMB4.8709, being the closing exchange rate as at the Latest Practicable Date).

On the basis of the assumptions set out above and the following: -

  • (a) the Share Purchase Mandate had been effective on the Latest Practicable Date and the Company had purchased the maximum of 260,281,772 Shares representing ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date out of profits and capital; and

  • (b) the consideration for the purchase or acquisition of the Shares is funded by internal funds, an illustration of the financial impact of Share Purchases by the Company pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate on the Group and the Company's audited accounts for FY2020 is set out as follows: -

(i) Purchases made entirely out of profits and cancelled

Notes:-

  • (1) Excludes goodwill of RMB457.2 million and intangible assets in relation to patent and licensing rights and computer software of RMB8.6 million. Includes operating concessions of RMB6,622.9 million.

  • (2) Includes bank and other borrowings, finance lease and bills payable to banks.

  • (3) Based on the number of Shares issued (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Share Purchases.

  • (4) Gearing equals total borrowings divided by total equity.

  • (5) Current ratio equals current assets divided by current liabilities.

  • (6) For illustration purposes, NTA per share and EPS are computed based on actual number of Shares in issue less Treasury Shares instead of weighted average number of Shares.

    The actual impact of Share Purchases will depend on the number and price of the Shares purchased. The Company does not expect there to be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Company for FY2020 in the event that the Share Purchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period set out in Section 3.1(b) of this Appendix A.

    None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Share Purchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

    No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Share Purchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

    The Directors have undertaken to the SEHK that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make purchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Constitution, the Laws of Singapore and the laws of Hong Kong.

During each of the previous 12 months up to the Latest Practicable Date, the highest and lowest prices for which the Shares were traded on the SEHK were as follows:

Shareholders should note that the above financial effects, based on the respective aforementioned assumptions, are for illustrative purposes only. In particular, it is important to note that the above analysis is based on historical audited financial statements as at 31 December 2020, save for the number of Shares, which are based on the number of Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, and is not necessarily representative of future financial performance. Although the Share Purchase Mandate would authorise the Company to purchase or acquire up to ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company, the Company may not necessarily purchase or acquire or be able to purchase or acquire the entire ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company. In addition, the Company shall cancel all of the Shares repurchased (as described in Section 3.2 of this Appendix A).

5. LISTING RULES

Under Listing Manual

The Listing Manual does not expressly prohibit purchase of shares by a listed company during any particular time or times. However, as the Company would be considered as an "insider" in relation to any purchase of its Shares, the Company will not undertake any purchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate after a price sensitive development has occurred or has been the subject of a consideration and/or a decision of the Board until such time as the price sensitive information has been publicly announced. In particular, theCompany will not purchase or acquire any Shares through On-Market Share Purchases during the period of one month immediately preceding the announcement of the Company's full-year financial statements and the period of two weeks before the announcement of the first quarter, half-year and third quarter financial statements and one month immediately preceding the announcement of the Company's full-year financial statements (if the Company announces its quarterly financial statements, whether required by the SGX-ST or otherwise), or one month immediately preceding the announcement of the Company's half-year and full-year financial statements (if the Company does not announce its quarterly financial statements). The Company will continue to comply with the best practices on dealings in securities set out in Rule 1207(19) of the Listing Manual.

The Listing Manual requires a listed company to ensure that at least ten per cent. (10%) of any class of its listed securities excluding treasury shares (excluding preference shares and convertible equity securities) is at all times held by public shareholders.

Based on the Register of Directors' and Chief Executive Officer's Shareholdings and the Register of Substantial Shareholders maintained by the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 849,911,287 Shares held in the hands of the public, representing 32.65% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company. Assuming the Company exercises the Share Purchase Mandate in full and purchases ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company through On-Market Share Purchase from the public, the public float would be reduced to approximately 25.17% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

Accordingly, the Company is of the view that there is a sufficient number of Shares in issue held by public Shareholders which would permit the Company to undertake Share Purchases through On-Market Share Purchases up to the full 10% limit pursuant to the proposed Share Purchase Mandate without affecting the listing status of the Shares on the SGX-ST, causing market illiquidity or affecting orderly trading.

Under Hong Kong Listing Rules

Pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Company shall ensure that after its purchase of Shares on any stock exchange, at least 25% of its Shares will remain in the hands of the public (as defined in Rule 8.24 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules).

An issuer shall not purchase its shares on SEHK at any time after inside information has come to its knowledge until the information is made publicly available. In particular, during the period of one (1) month immediately preceding the earlier of (a) the date of the board meeting (as such date is first notified to the SEHK in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules) for the approval of the issuer's results for any year, half-year, quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules); and (b) the deadline for the issuer to announce its results for any year or half-year under the Hong Kong Listing rules, or quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Hong Kong Listing Rules), and ending on the date of the results announcement, the issuer may notpurchase its shares on the SEHK, unless the circumstances are exceptional. Further, an issuer shall not knowingly purchase its shares from a core connected person and a core connected person shall not knowingly sell shares to the issuer, on the SEHK.

In undertaking any Share Purchases, the Directors will use their best efforts to ensure that, notwithstanding such Share Purchases, a sufficient float in the hands of the public will be maintained so that the Share Purchases will not adversely affect the listing status of the Shares on the SEHK, cause market illiquidity or adversely affect the orderly trading of the Shares.

6. DETAILS OF THE SHARES PURCHASED BY THE COMPANY

The Company did not, in the previous 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, make any purchase of its Shares by way of an On-Market Share Purchase or Off-Market Share Purchase pursuant to the share purchase mandate approved at the 2020 AGM.

7. DIRECTORS' AND SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDERS' INTERESTS

Based on the Register of Directors' and Chief Executive Officer's Shareholdings and the Register of Substantial Shareholders, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the shareholdings of the Directors and the Substantial Shareholders before and after the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate, assuming (a) the Company purchases the maximum amount of 10 per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company, (b) there is no change in the number of Shares held by the Directors and the Substantial Shareholders or which they are deemed interested in, (c) no new Shares are issued following the Shareholders' approval of the proposed Share Purchase Mandate at the 2021 AGM, (d) there are no subsidiary holdings, and (e) shares purchased are cancelled and not held as Treasury Shares, will be as follows:-

8. SINGAPORE AND HONG KONG TAKE-OVER CODE IMPLICATIONS ARISING FROM SHARE PURCHASES

Appendix 2 of the Code contains the Share Buy-Back Guidance Note. The take-over implications arising from any purchase or acquisition by the Company of its Shares are set out below.

8.1 Obligation to make a take-over offer

The resultant increase in the percentage of voting rights held by a Shareholder and persons acting in concert with him, following the purchase of Shares by the Company, will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 14 of the Code. Consequently, depending on the number of Shares purchased by the Company and the total number of Shares in the capital of the Company at that time, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert with each other could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and could become obliged to make an offer under Rule 14 of the Code.

Under the Code, persons acting in concert comprise individuals or companies who, pursuant to an agreement or understanding (whether formal or informal) co-operate, through the acquisition by any of them of Shares in a company to obtain or consolidate effective control of that company. Unless the contrary is established, the following persons, inter alia, will be presumed to be acting in concert:-

  • (a) a company with any of its directors (together with their close relatives, related trusts as well as companies controlled by any of the directors, their close relatives and related trusts);

  • (b) a company with its parent company, subsidiaries, its fellow subsidiaries, any associated companies of the above companies, and any company whose associated companies include any of the above companies;

  • (c) an individual with his close relatives, related trusts, any person who is accustomed to act in accordance with his instructions and companies controlled by these persons, all with each other; and

  • (d) any person who has provided financial assistance (other than a bank in the ordinary course of business) to any of the above for the purchase of voting rights.

Under the Code, a company is an associated company of another company if the second company owns or controls at least twenty per cent. (20%) but not more than fifty per cent. (50%) of the voting rights of the first-mentioned company.

The circumstances under which Shareholders, including Directors and persons acting in concert with them respectively, will incur an obligation to make a general offer under Rule 14 of the Code after a purchase or acquisition of Shares by the Company are set out Appendix 2 of the Code.

8.2 Effect of Rule 14 and Appendix 2 of the Code

In general terms, the effect of Rule 14 and Appendix 2 of the Code is that, unless exempted, Directors and persons acting in concert with them will incur an obligation to make a general offer under Rule 14 of the Code if, as a result of the Company purchasing or acquiring Shares, the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties would increase to thirty per cent. (30%) or more, or if the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties fall between thirty per cent. (30%) and fifty per cent. (50%) of the Company's voting rights, the voting rights of such Directors and their concert parties would increase by more than one per cent. (1%) in any period of six (6) months.

Under Rule 14 and Appendix 2 of the Code, a Shareholder and persons acting in concert with him will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer after a share purchase if, inter alia, their voting rights increase to thirty per cent (30%) or more as a result of share purchases by the Company and/or their acquisition of any ordinary shares between the date of the notice of resolution to authorise the Share Purchase Mandate and the date the next AGM of the Company is held or is required to be held, or, if they already hold between thirty per cent (30%) and fifty per cent (50%) of the Company's voting rights and their voting rights increase by more than one per cent (1%) in any period of six (6) months as a result of a share purchase by the Company and/or they acquire ordinary shares between the date of the notice of resolution to authorise the Share Purchase Mandate and the date the next AGM of the Company is held or is required to be held.

Under Appendix 2 of the Code, a Shareholder not acting in concert with the Directors will not be required to make a general offer under Rule 14 of the Code if, as a result of the Company purchasing or acquiring its Shares, the voting rights of such Shareholder would increase to thirty per cent. (30%) or more, or if such Shareholder holds between thirty per cent. (30%) and fifty per cent. (50%) of the Company's voting rights, the voting rights of such Shareholder would increase by more than one per cent. (1%) in any period of six (6) months. Such Shareholder needs not abstain from voting in respect of the resolution authorising the Share Purchase Mandate.

Shareholders who are in any doubt as to whether they would incur any obligations to make a take-over offer as a result of any purchase of Shares by the Company pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate are advised to consult their professional advisers before they acquire any Shares in the Company during the period when the Share Purchase Mandate is in force.

8.3 Application of the Code

As at the Latest Practicable Date, and for the purposes of the Code:

  • (a) Zhou Jun (Non-Executive Chairman) is a Director of the Company and is presumed to be acting in concert with the Company;

  • (b) Zhou Jun is also a director of Shanghai Industrial Holdings Limited ("SIHL") and is presumed to be acting in concert with SIHL; and

  • (c) as set out in Section 7 of this Appendix A, SIHL is deemed interested in 48.74% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company, and accordingly the Company would be an associated company of SIHL. SIHL's deemed interest arises from:

    (i) 116,137,900 Shares held by its wholly owned subsidiary, SIHL Treasury Limited;

    (ii) 165,418,475 Shares held by its wholly owned subsidiary, S.I. Infrastructure Holdings Limited ("SII"); and

    (iii) 986,929,551 Shares held by SII's wholly owned subsidiary, S.I. Triumph

Power Limited, (SIHL, SIHL Treasury Limited, SII and S.I. Triumph Power Limited collectively referred to as the "SIHL Concert Party Group").

Thus, the Company and the SIHL Concert Party Group would be presumed to be parties acting in concert.

Therefore, Zhou Jun (the "Relevant Director"), the SIHL Concert Party Group

(together with the Relevant Director, the "Relevant Parties") as well as the Company are presumed to be parties acting in concert with each other. A table of the Relevant Parties' shareholding are as set out below:

In the event that the Company undertakes any purchase or acquisition of Shares of up to the maximum limit of ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company as permitted by the Share Purchase Mandate, the aggregate shareholdings and voting rights of the Relevant Parties in the Company will increase from approximately 48.74% to approximately 54.15%.

Accordingly, if such increase in shareholding were to occur over any 6-month period, the shareholding of the Relevant Parties would have increased by more than one per cent. (1%). Under the Code, the Relevant Parties and persons acting in concert with them, if any, unless exempted, would become obliged to make a general offer for the Shares held by the Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14.1(b) of the Code.

8.4 Conditions for exemption from having to make a general offer under Rule 14 of the Code

Pursuant to Section 3(a) of Appendix 2 of the Code, the Relevant Parties and persons acting in concert with them will be exempted from the requirement to make a general offer under Rule 14 of the Code as a result of any share buy-back carried out by the Company pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate, subject to the following conditions:

  • (a) the appendix to Shareholders seeking their approval for the Share Purchase Mandate contains:

    • (i) advice to the effect that by voting in favour of the resolution to approve the Share Purchase Mandate, Shareholders are waiving their rights to a general offer at the required price from the Relevant Parties and persons acting in concert with them who, as a result of the Company buying back its Shares, would increase their voting rights by more than one per cent. (1%) in any 6-month period; and

    • (ii) the names and voting rights of the Relevant Parties and persons acting in concert with them, and their voting rights at the time of the resolution and after the Company exercises the power under the Share Purchase Mandate in full and purchases ten per cent. (10%) of the total number of issued shares excluding Treasury Shares and subsidiary holdings in the Company;

  • (b) the resolution to authorise the Share Purchase Mandate is approved by a majority of Shareholders who are present and voting at the AGM on a poll who could not become obliged to make an offer as a result of the share buy-back by the Company pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate;

  • (c) the Relevant Parties and persons acting in concert with them will abstain from voting for and/or recommending Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Share Purchase Mandate;

  • (d) within seven (7) days after the passing of the resolution to approve the Share Purchase Mandate, the Relevant Director is to submit to the Securities Industry Council of Singapore ("SIC") a duly signed form as prescribed by the SIC; and

  • (e) the Relevant Parties and/or persons acting in concert with them together holding between thirty per cent. (30%) and fifty per cent. (50%) of the Company's voting rights, not to have acquired and not to acquire any shares between the date on which they know that the announcement of the Share Purchase Mandate is imminent and the earlier of:

    • (i) the date on which the authority of the Share Purchase Mandate expires; and

    • (ii) the date on which the Company announces it has bought back such number of Shares as authorised by the Share Purchase Mandate or it has decided to cease buying back its Shares, as the case may be,

    if such acquisitions, taken together with the buy-back, would cause their aggregate voting rights to increase by more than one per cent. (1%) in the preceding six (6) months.

  • (f) As such, if the aggregate voting rights held by the Relevant Parties increase by more than 1% solely as a result of the Company's buyback of Shares under the Share Purchase Mandate, and none of them has acquired any Shares during the relevant six (6) month period, then the Relevant Parties would be eligible for SIC's exemption from the requirement to make a general offer under Rule 14 of the Code, or where such exemption had been granted, would continue to enjoy the exemption.

8.5 Effect of Takeovers Code

A purchase of Shares by the Company may result in an increase in the proportionate interests of a substantial shareholder of the Company in the voting rights of the Company, which could give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, the requirement to make a mandatory general offer is triggered when any person holds not less than 30%, but not more than 50%, of the voting rights of a company and that person acquires additional voting rights and such acquisition has the effect of increasing that person's holding of voting rights of the company by more than 2% from the lowest percentage holding of that person in the 12 month period ending on and inclusive of the date of the relevant acquisition, and such rule applies to any immediately preceding 12 month period if at any time during such period a person, or group of persons acting in concert, holds 50% or less of the voting rights.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to purchase the Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate, the shareholding of the substantial shareholders in the Company who were interested or deemed to be interested in 5% or more will be as follows:

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares under the Share Purchase Mandate.

8.6 Advice to Shareholders

Appendix 2 of the Code requires that the resolution to authorise the Share Purchase Mandate to be approved by a majority of those Shareholders present and voting at the meeting on a poll who could not become obliged to make an offer under the Code as a result of the share buy-back. Accordingly, the said resolution is proposed to be taken on a poll and the Relevant Parties and persons acting in concert with them shall abstain from voting on such resolution.

The statements herein do not purport to be a comprehensive or exhaustive description of all implications that may arise under the Code.
