APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Share Repurchase Mandate. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
The Board believes that the proposed granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 629,255,600 Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 5 set out in the AGM Notice and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 62,925,560 Shares (representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force.
FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and the Bye-laws, the laws of Bermuda and other applicable The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and the Bye-laws to repurchase the Shares. The laws of Bermuda provide that repurchase of shares may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the company before the shares are APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
IMPACT ON THE WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION OF THE COMPANY
It is envisaged that the exercise in full of the Share Repurchase Mandate during the proposed repurchase period might have a material adverse impact on the working capital position or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2012. However, the Directors expect to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate if and to such extent only as they are satisfied that the exercise thereof will not have such a material adverse impact.
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
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 make repurchase pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, and no such person has undertaken not to do so in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes 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 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Chen Hsong Investments Limited (“CHI”), Chiangs’ Industrial Holdings Limited (“CIH”) and Cititrust (Bahamas) Limited (“CBL”), being the substantial shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, were interested in the same parcel of 398,013,620 Shares, representing approximately 63.25% of the issued share capital of the Company; and if the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Share Repurchase Mandate up to 10% of the issued capital of the Company, the shareholdings held by CHI, CIH and CBL shall be increased to approximately 70.28% of the issued share capital of the Company. To the best knowledge of the Directors, the Board believes that such an increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.
The Board will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Company will maintain a 25% public float as required Apart from the aforesaid, the Board is not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate.
