APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for approving the Repurchase Mandate.

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

1. SHAREHOLDERS' APPROVAL

All proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by special approval of a particular transaction. The Company's sole listing is on the Stock Exchange.

2. SOURCE OF FUNDS

Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the bye-laws of the Company and the applicable laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that repurchases may only be effected out of the capital paid up on the repurchased Shares or out of the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account or contributed surplus account.

3. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Shares proposed to be repurchased by the Company must be fully paid up. Under the Listing Rules, the total number of shares which a company is authorised to repurchase on the Stock Exchange is shares representing up to a maximum of 10% of the existing issued share capital as at the date of the resolution granting such general mandate. Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 3,984,639,703 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no Shares are issued and repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, could result in up to 398,463,970 Shares, which represents 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, being repurchased by the Company during the period from the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate up to the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the expiration of the period within the next annual general meeting of the Company as required by the applicable laws of Bermuda to be held, or when revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

4. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any Shares, they believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to purchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

- 11 -

APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

5. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the bye-laws of the Company and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

The exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020. 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 or gearing position of the Company.

6. GENERAL

  1. None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders to sell the Shares to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
  2. The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
  3. 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 purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of a repurchasing company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, Shougang Group through its subsidiary was interested in approximately 60.88% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and no further Shares are issued during the proposed repurchase period, the interest held by Shougang Group through its subsidiary in the issued share capital of the Company will increase to approximately 67.64%. On the basis of the current shareholding in the Company held by Shougang Group, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate would have under the Takeovers Code.
  4. The Company has not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date and will not repurchase its Shares if public float is less than 25%.
  5.

  3. Any member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote instead of him/her. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. The Company does not in any way wish to diminish the opportunity available to the shareholders of the Company to exercise their rights and to vote, but is conscious of the pressing need to protect the shareholders from possible exposure to COVID-19. For the health and safety of the shareholders, and in view of the limit on attendance and seating capacity as may be legally required, the Company would like to encourage shareholders to exercise their right to vote at the Meeting by appointing the chairman of the Meeting as their proxy instead of attending the Meeting in person. Physical attendance is not necessary for the purpose of exercising shareholders' rights.
  4. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his/her attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under seal or under the hand of any officer or attorney duly authorised.
  5. In order to be valid, the form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority, must be deposited with the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting (i.e., at or before 3:00 p.m. on Friday, 14 May 2021 (Hong Kong Time)), or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be).
  6. The register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 12 May 2021 to Tuesday, 18 May 2021 (both days inclusive) to determine the entitlement to attend and vote at the above meeting. During such period no transfer of shares of the Company will be registered. In order to qualify for the entitlement to attend and vote at the above meeting, all transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 11 May 2021 for registration.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  1. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude members from attending and voting in person at the meeting or at any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) should they so wish, and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
  2. Where there are joint registered holders of any share, any one of such joint holders may vote, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he/she was solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders are present at the meeting, whether in person or by proxy, the joint registered holder present whose name stands first on the register of members of the Company in respect of the shares shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof.
