| FF301<br>Page 10 of 10 v 1.1.1<br>Notes<br>1. The Exchange refers to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.<br>2. In the case of repurchase of shares (shares repurchased and cancelled) and redemption of shares (shares redeemed and cancelled), "date of event" should be construed as<br>"cancellation date".<br>In the case of repurchase of shares (shares held as treasury shares), "date of event" should be construed as "date on which shares were repurchased and held by the issuer in<br>treasury".<br>3. The information is required in the case of repurchase of shares (shares repurchased for cancellation but not yet cancelled) and redemption of shares (shares redeemed but not yet<br>cancelled). Please state the number of shares repurchased or redeemed during the month or in preceding month(s) but pending cancellation as at close of the month as a negative<br>number.<br>4. Items (i) to (viii) are suggested forms of confirmation. The listed issuer may amend the item(s) that is/are not applicable to meet individual cases. Where the issuer has already<br>made the relevant confirmations in a return published under Main Board Rule 13.25A / GEM Rule 17.27A in relation to the securities issued, or the treasury shares sold or<br>transferred, no further confirmation is required to be made in this return.<br>5. “Identical” means in this context:<br>. the securities are of the same nominal value with the same amount called up or paid up;<br>. they are entitled to dividend/interest at the same rate and for the same period, so that at the next ensuing distribution, the dividend/interest payable per unit will amount to<br>exactly the same sum (gross and net); and<br>. they carry the same rights as to unrestricted transfer, attendance and voting at meetings and rank pari passu in all other respects. |
