ATTENDANCE AT THE AGM

The Company reminds Shareholders that physical attendance at the AGM is not compulsory for the purpose of exercising their voting rights, and encourages Shareholders to vote through the Online Platform or by appointing the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy and submit their form of proxy as early as possible.

No refreshments or drinks will be served at the Principal Meeting Place.

In addition to physical attendance at the AGM, Shareholders (including their proxies and corporate representatives) can attend, participate and vote by electronic means at the AGM through Online Platform at https://web.lumiagm.com.

Votes cast through the Online Platform are irrevocable once the voting session at the AGM ends. Further, once the online voting has closed, the votes which a registered Shareholder has submitted through the Online Platform will supersede any votes which may be cast by his/her proxy (if any) at the AGM (whether by physical attendance or online).

The  Online Platform will be open for registered Shareholders and non-registered Shareholders, as well  as their proxies and corporate representatives (see below for login details and arrangements) to log in approximately 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the AGM and can be accessed from any location with internet connection by a smart phone, tablet device or computer.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4.GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES

The Board considers that it would be in the Company’s best interest to have the flexibility to (a) allot and issue new Shares to finance business opportunities; and (b) repurchase Shares in accordance with all applicable laws and requirements of the applicable stock exchanges. At the AGM, approval will be sought from Shareholders for the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate as follows:

(i)to authorize the Board to allot, issue and dispose of such number of additional Shares not exceeding 10 per cent. of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution (such total number to be subject to adjustment in the case of any conversion of any or all of the Shares into a larger or smaller number of Shares after the passing of such resolution). Any additional Shares to be allotted or issued pursuant to such a general mandate shall not be at a discount of more than 10 per cent. to the “benchmarked price” (as described in Rule 13.36(5) of the Listing Rules). The resolution is proposed as a Special Resolution and is set out in agenda item No. 4 of the Notice of AGM; and

The relevant resolution is set out in agenda item No. 5 of the Notice of AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

5.RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the resolutions as set out in the Notice of AGM are all in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favor of all such resolutions at the AGM.

Yours faithfully

Such repurchases may, depending on the circumstances, lead to an increase in net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

3.Funding of Repurchase

Repurchases of Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the applicable listing rules of stock exchanges and all applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, including profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of the Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase.

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed period within which the Repurchase Mandate may be exercised, there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position of the Company as disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 contained in the 2022 annual report of the Company. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5.Undertaking

The Directors have undertaken to the SEHK that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to be approved under Ordinary Resolution No. 5 in the Notice of AGM in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquires, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6.Takeovers Code

If, on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rules 26 and 32 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CKHH through certain of its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries held 332,546,080 Shares, representing approximately 38.45%  of  the  aggregate  number  of  Shares  in  issue. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to be approved under Ordinary Resolution No. 5 in the Notice of AGM at the AGM, then (if the present shareholdings otherwise remain the same) the aggregate interests of CKHH would increase from approximately 38.45% to approximately 42.73% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue.

In the opinion of the Directors, such increase may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in such mandatory offer obligation arising.

7.Share Repurchase made by the Company

The Company did not repurchase any Shares (whether on the applicable stock exchanges or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
