APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This is an explanatory statement given to the Shareholders relating to proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to be passed by the Shareholders at the AGM. This explanatory statement contains a summary of the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Resolution numbered 5 set out in the AGM Notice will, if passed, give a general unconditional mandate to the Directors authorising the repurchase by the Company of the issued and fully paid Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the number of issued Shares of the Company as at the date of the AGM. It will be valid until the next annual general meeting unless revoked or varied before such meeting.

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would result in up to maximum of 150,000,000 Shares (on the basis of 1,500,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) being repurchased by the Company.

REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or the 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.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company will only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with any applicable laws of Cayman Islands, the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles.

Any payment for repurchases by the Company may be made out of profits of the Company, the share premium account of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of either or both of the profits or from the share premium account of the Company, or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, it might not have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company (as compared with the financial position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020). However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements and/or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchase of Shares pursuant to the proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Cayman Islands, the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, the controlling shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, namely Union Capital Pte. Ltd. and Ms. Sui Yongqing (collectively, the "Controlling Shareholders") are entitled to exercise and/or control the exercise of approximately 51.2% of the voting rights in the general meetings of the Company.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the voting rights of the Controlling Shareholders in the Company would increase to approximately 56.9%. Such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

REPURCHASES OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any Shares on the Stock Exchange or otherwise in the six months prior to the date of the Latest Practicable Date.
