LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Authorisation arrangement: Any executive Director of the Company be generally and unconditionally authorised to determine, approve and handle the following matters according to the Company's needs and market conditions:
    1. to determine the specific terms, conditions and related matters of the UST Notes to be issued, including but not limited to total principal amount, interest rate or its methods of determination, terms, credit rating, guarantee, protection measures for repayment, any repurchase or redemption terms, any placement arrangement and option to adjust nominal interest rate, etc.;
    2. to make all necessary and incidental arrangements for the UST Notes Issuance (including but not limited to obtaining approvals, engaging intermediaries, determination of underwriting arrangements, preparation and dissemination of relevant application documents to regulatory authorities, obtaining approvals from such regulatory authorities and execution of all requisite documents and disclosures of relevant information in accordance with applicable laws);
    3. in case of any changes in regulatory policies or market conditions, to adjust the specific issue proposals relating to the issue or other related matters according to the opinion of regulatory authorities; and
    4. upon completion of the issue, to determine and approve matters relating to the listing and lockup of exchange rate for the principal and interests of relevant UST Notes.

As set out in the preliminary results announcement of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020, the total gearing ratio (being liabilities/total assets) was 45.91%. It is anticipated that the issuance in full of the UST Notes in an orderly manner will have no material adverse effect on the gearing ratio of the Company. The Board considers that the UST Notes Issuance will be beneficial to the broadening of the financing channels of the Company, reduction of finance costs of the Company and its subsidiaries and improvement of the debt structure of the Company and therefore recommends the UST Notes Issuance in due course with reference to the market conditions subject to relevant approval. Upon being approved at the Annual General Meeting, the UST Notes Issuance will still be subject to approval by relevant regulatory authorities. The Company intends to submit the relevant documents in respect of the issuance of the UST Notes to the relevant regulatory authorities for their approval after the proposed UST Notes issuance has been approved at the Annual General Meeting. Upon issue of the UST Notes by the Board as authorised by the Annual General Meeting, the Company will comply with its disclosure obligations in respect of the UST Notes Issuance in accordance with relevant provisions of the Listing Rules.

There is uncertainty as to whether the UST Notes Issuance will be finally executed. Shareholders and investors are advised to be cautious about the uncertainty.
