APPENDIX - EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,013,309,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Proposed Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to buy back a maximum of 201,330,900 Shares which represent 10 per cent. of the total number of issued shares of the Company during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS AND FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. If such a buy-back is made, the Directors propose to use the Company's internal cash surplus to fund such buy-back.

Buy-back of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. Under Bermuda law, any buy-back by the Company may be made out of capital paid up on the Shares to be bought back, or out of 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 and, in the case of premiums payable on buy-back, funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company.

The Directors have no present intention to buy back any Shares and they would only exercise the power to buy back in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the general mandate to buy back Shares was to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it could have a material adverse impact on the working capital but not the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to buy back Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company..

APPENDIX - EXPLANATORY STATEMENT (CONTINUED)

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their close associates, as defined in the Listing Rules, currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Proposed Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

No core connected person, as defined in the Listing Rules, has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so.

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, TCC is interested in 705,819,720 Shares representing approximately 35.05 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, the shareholding of TCC in the Company, assuming there shall be no change in its interests in the Shares after the Latest Practicable Date, will be increased to approximately

38.95 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company respectively. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation of TCC to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. Currently, the Directors have no present intention to buy back the Shares to the extent that it will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for TCC to make a mandatory offer.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the result of the buy-back would be that less than 25 per cent. (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to buy back Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not bought back any Share (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
