  2. in case of H Shares, 20 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of H Shares in issue,

in each case as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

Any exercise of the power by the Directors under the General Mandate shall comply with the relevant requirements of the Company Law and the Listing Rules. The Board has no present plan to issue new Shares pursuant to the General Mandate. The General Mandate shall be effective from the date of passing the relevant resolution until whichever is the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the relevant resolution;
  2. the expiry date of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by the Articles or any applicable law to be held; or
  3. the passing of a special resolution of the Company in a general meeting revoking or varying the authority set out in the relevant resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 792,058,500 Shares in issue including 562,558,500 Domestic Shares and 229,500,000 H Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the General Mandate and in accordance with the terms therein, the Company will be allowed to allot, issue and deal with up to a maximum of 112,511,700 Domestic Shares and 45,900,000 H Shares on the basis that no further Domestic Shares and H Shares will be issued by the Company prior to the AGM.
