APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

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

1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SECURITIES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of securities on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by Shareholders by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate, or by a special approval in relation to specific transactions.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,346,908,037 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 334,690,803 Shares on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company the flexibility to do so when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors consider that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association, Bye-laws and the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended from time to time) (the ''Companies Act'').

The Companies Act provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the repurchased shares, or the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on redemption may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of the share premium or contributed

- 12 -

APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

surplus accounts of the Company. Under the Companies Act, the shares so repurchased will be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital will not be reduced so that the shares may be subsequently re-issued.

The Directors intend to apply the capital paid up on the relevant Shares or the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend for any repurchases of its Shares.

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 (being the date of its latest audited financial statements), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquires, any of their associates, has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to any company of the Group.

No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Bermuda, and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum of association of the Company and the Bye-laws.

7. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

A repurchase 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, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code.

As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and could give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, June Glory had an attributable interest of approximately 61.88% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors would exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholdings of June Glory in the Company would be increased to approximately 68.76% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.

8. GENERAL
