LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed that the Directors be granted a general and unconditional mandate to issue up to 562,502,636 Shares, representing up to 10 per cent. of the total number of shares of the Company in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution, and on the basis that there is no change to the number of issued Shares during the period from 12 April 2021, being the Latest Practicable Date, to the Annual General Meeting. In addition, a resolution will be proposed to be passed to authorize the Directors to issue, allot and deal with Shares equal to such number of Shares repurchased under the Share Buy-back Mandate since the granting of the general mandate to issue shares.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 99 of the Articles, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being or, if their number is not 3 or a multiple of 3, the number nearest to one-third will retire from the office. The retiring Directors will be eligible for re-election.

According to code provision A.4.3 of the Corporate Governance Code as set out in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive director serves more than nine years, any further appointment of such independent non-executive director should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the shareholders.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. Listing Rules

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

  1. Source of Funds

Buy back must be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and the memorandum and articles of association of the company.

  1. Maximum number of shares to be repurchased and subsequent issues

A maximum of 10% of the total number of shares of the company in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution granting the general mandate may be bought back on the Stock Exchange.

  1. Shares to be bought back

The Listing Rules provide that the shares which are proposed to be bought back by a company must be fully paid up.

2. Number of Shares

As at 12 April 2021, being the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 5,625,026,360 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the Share Buy-back Mandate, and on the basis that there is no change to the number of issued shares of the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 562,502,636 fully paid up Shares, representing 10% of the total number of shares of the Company in issue.

3. Reasons for the Buy back

Whilst the Directors do not presently intend to buy back any Shares, they believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy back Shares. Such buy back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement in the value of the Shares and/or earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy back will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

− 7 −

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. Funding of Buy back

In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply its available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company. Such funds include profits available for distribution and the proceeds of fresh issues of Shares made for the purpose of the buy back.

If the Share Buy-back Mandate were exercised in full, there could be a material adverse effect on the working capital position of the Group or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts as at 31 December 2020). The Directors therefore do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent unless the Directors determined that such buy back, after taking account of all relevant factors applicable to the Group, is in the best interests of the Group.

5. Share Prices

The highest and lowest prices at which Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the months from April 2020 to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

7. Takeovers Code

If as a result of a share buy back by the Company, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

In addition, the Company may not buy back shares which would result in the amount of shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%. The Directors will be cautioned in exercising the Share Buy-back Mandate and have no intention to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent which would result in Ting Hsin and Sanyo becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer.
