APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide information to you with regard to the Buy Back Mandate proposed to be passed by the Shareholders by an ordinary resolution at the AGM.

THE LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules contain provisions regulating the bought back by companies whose shares are listed on the Stock Exchange. The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Listing Rules relating to buy back of shares:

SHAREHOLDERS' APPROVAL

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed buy back of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

REASONS FOR BUY BACK

Although the Directors have no present intention of buying back any shares, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Buy Back Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders. Buy Back will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy back will best benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Such buy back may depends on market conditions and funding arrangement at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share.

FUNDING OF BUY BACK

Buy back of Shares will be funded out of funds legally available for the purchase in accordance with the Company's memorandum of association and the Bye-laws, the Companies Act, the applicable laws of Bermuda.

A company may not buy back its own shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Any buy back by the Company may be made out of the capital paid up on the purchased Shares or out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be 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 purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account.

- 15 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

On the basis of the current financial position of the Company as disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report 2020 of the Company, there might be an adverse effect on the working capital requirements or gearing levels of the Company in the event that the Buy Back Mandate is exercised in full at any time. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy Back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company. The exercise in full of the Buy Back Mandate, on the basis of 5,292,515,390 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date (assuming that no Shares are issued or bought back during the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the AGM) would result in up to 529,251,539 Shares being bought back by the Company during the period in which the Buy Back Mandate remains in force.

GENERAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquires, any of their associates, have any present intention, if the Buy Back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the Buy Back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of Bermuda and the Company's memorandum of association and the Bye-laws.

If as a result of a buy back, 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 the Takeovers Code and, if such increase results in a change of control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, VMSIG and parties acting in concert with it held an aggregate of 1,519,016,472 Shares, representing approximately 28.70% of the issued share capital of the Company. Based on such shareholdings, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back shares in the Company pursuant to the Buy Back Mandate, the shareholdings of VMSIG and parties acting in concert would increase to approximately 31.89% of the issued share capital of the Company thereby triggering an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors however have no present intention of exercising the general mandate to such extent as would result in any mandatory offer.

Furthermore, the Directors do not consider such increase would reduce the issued share capital in public hands to less than 25% (or the relevant prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange).

- 16 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person, including a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or its subsidiaries or a close associate of any of them has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Buy Back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
