APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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

SHARES IN ISSUE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 44,364,885,557 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the Company will be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase on the Stock Exchange a maximum of 4,436,488,555 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares of the Company in issue as at the date of the AGM.

REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Board believes that it is in the interest 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. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Board believes that such repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors have no present intention of repurchasing Shares.

FUNDING OF THE REPURCHASE

It is proposed that any repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate would be financed by funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the laws of Hong Kong. The Company may not repurchase its own Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading values of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

IMPACT OF THE REPURCHASE

The Directors anticipate that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (on the basis of the financial position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020), in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any of the Shares to the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved and granted by the Shareholders.

- 11 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

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 Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the laws of Hong Kong and the Articles of Association.

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

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

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Hui Wing Mau (''Mr. Hui'') is interested in 7,656,916,000 Shares representing approximately 17.26% of the issued Shares of the Company. These shares are held by Future Achiever Limited, a company directly wholly-owned by Mr. Hui.

In the event the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, then (if the present shareholding remains the same) Mr. Hui's interest would be increased to approximately 19.18% of the issued Shares of the Company, thus will not give rise to an obligation by any of the existing Substantial Shareholders to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. If an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full took place, the public float should become approximately 70.86%.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences under the Takeovers Code which may arise of any repurchase made under the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the number of Shares being held by the public falling below the relevant minimum prescribed percentage pursuant to Rules 8.08 of the Listing Rules, which is currently 25% of the total number of Shares of the Company in issue.
