An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant the Share Buy-back Mandate.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 184,089,962 Shares (with 2,533,803 Class A ordinary shares represented by 844,601 ADSs being bought back but pending cancellation as at the Latest Practicable Date) and the Company did not have any treasury shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and assuming no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the Annual General Meeting, the maximum number of Shares which may be bought back pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate will be 18,155,615 Shares (or 6,051,871 ADSs), representing 10% of the Company’s total issued share capital (excluding the above-mentioned 2,533,803 Class A ordinary shares represented by 844,601 ADSs being bought back but pending cancellation) as of the Latest Practicable Date. An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules giving certain information regarding the Share Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

 

The Share Buy-back Mandate will expire upon whichever occurs first: (i) the conclusion of the first annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the grant of Share Buy-back Mandate at which time it shall lapse unless, by ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the mandate is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; and (iii) the authority given under the ordinary resolution approving the Share Buy-back Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant the Issue Mandate. The additional Shares or rights to subscribe for, or to convert securities into, additional Shares which may be allotted and issued together with the treasury shares of the Company which may be resold (if permitted under the Listing Rules) pursuant to the Issue Mandate shall not exceed 20% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) on the date of passing the resolution approving the Issue Mandate. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 184,089,962 Shares in issue (with 2,533,803 Class A ordinary shares represented by 844,601 ADSs being bought back but pending cancellation as at the Latest Practicable Date) and the Company did not have any treasury shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the granting of the Issue Mandate and assuming no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs, and/or to resell treasury shares of the Company (if permitted under the Listing Rules), involving a maximum of 36,311,231 Class A ordinary shares (or 12,103,743 ADSs), representing 20% of the Company’s total issued share capital (excluding the above-mentioned 2,533,803 Class A ordinary shares represented by 844,601 ADSs being bought back but pending cancellation) as of the Latest Practicable Date.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR
THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

 

This explanatory statement provides information required under the Listing Rules to be given to Shareholders in connection with the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate to be granted to the Directors. The Directors confirm that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share buy-backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate has any unusual features.

 

1.SHARE CAPITAL

 

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 184,089,962 Shares in issue (with 2,533,803 Class A ordinary shares represented by 844,601 ADSs being bought back but pending cancellation as at the Latest Practicable Date) and the Company did not have any treasury shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for the approval of the Share Buy-back Mandate, for illustrative purposes only and assuming no further Shares are issued or bought back between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 18,155,615 Class A ordinary shares (or 6,051,871 ADSs), representing 10% of the Company’s total issued share capital (excluding the above-mentioned 2,533,803 Class A ordinary shares represented by 844,601 ADSs being bought back but pending cancellation) as of the Latest Practicable Date.

 

2.REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

 

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to purchase Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs in the market. When exercising the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Directors may, subject to market conditions and the Company’s capital management needs at the relevant time of the buy-backs, resolve to cancel the Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs bought back following settlement of any such buy-back or hold them as treasury shares. Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs bought back for cancelling may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Class A ordinary share and/or ADS and/or its earnings per Class A ordinary share and/or ADS. On the other hand, Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs bought back and held by the Company as treasury shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

The Directors have no present intention to cause the Company to buy back any Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs and they would exercise the power to buy back only in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR
THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

 

3.FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

 

In making the buy-backs, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, and applicable laws and regulations in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and elsewhere (as the case may be).

 

4.IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

 

The Directors consider that the exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate in full will not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in its latest published audited accounts as of December 31, 2023).

 

The Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

 

5.SHARE PRICES

 

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR
THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

 

6.GENERAL

 

The Directors will, so far as the same may be applicable, exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates have any present intention to sell their Shares to the Company in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

 

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell his/her/its Shares to the Company nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

 

7.THE TAKEOVERS CODE

 

If, on the exercise of the power to buy back Class A ordinary shares and/or ADSs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Company’s voting right increases, this increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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.

 

Pursuant to Rule 8A.15 of the Listing Rules, in the event that the Directors exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate, the WVR Beneficiaries (namely, Mr. Vincent Wenbin Qiu and Mr. Junhua Wu) must reduce their weighted voting rights in the Company proportionately (for example through conversion of a proportion of their shareholding in Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares) if the reduction in the number of Shares in issue (after deducting treasury shares) would otherwise result in an increase in the proportion of Class B ordinary shares. As of the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Vincent Wenbin Qiu, through a company wholly-owned by him, owned 10 Class A ordinary shares and 9,410,369 Class B ordinary shares and beneficially owned 3,281,866 Class A ordinary shares; and Mr. Junhua Wu through a company wholly-owned by him, owned 2,503,707 Class A ordinary shares and 3,890,369 Class B ordinary shares, and beneficially owned 46,752 Class A ordinary shares. The WVR Beneficiaries together held a total of 5,832,335 Class A ordinary shares and 13,300,738 Class B ordinary shares, representing approximately 46.09% voting rights in the Company with respect to Shareholders’ resolutions. As such, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate is not expected to give rise to an obligation of Mr. Vincent Wenbin Qiu and Mr. Junhua Wu to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

 

15 – 

 

 

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR
THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

 

Nevertheless, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would result in any Shareholders being required to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

 

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from conducting a share buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the result of the share buy-back would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to buy back Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

 

8.SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

 

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company bought back from the market a total of 844,601 ADSs listed on Nasdaq Global Select Market in the United States as follows:
