6.
Potential Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposed Share Buy-Back
6.1
Potential Advantages of the Proposed Share Buy-Back
The Potential Advantages of the Proposed Share Buy-Back are set out in Section 2 of this Statement.
6.2
Potential Disadvantages of the Proposed Share Buy-Back
a.
The Proposed Share Buy-Back, if implemented, will reduce the financial resources of the Group and may result in
the Group foregoing interest income and/or better investment opportunities that may emerge in the future; and
b.
As the Proposed Share Buy-Back can only be made out of retained profits and share premium accounts of the
Company, it may result in the reduction of financial resources available for distribution to shareholders in the
immediate future.
Nevertheless, the Proposed Share Buy-Back is not expected to have any potential material disadvantage to the shareholders
of the Company as well as the Group as it will be implemented only after careful consideration of the financial resources of
the Group and the resultant impact on the shareholders of the Company.
