General

 

Registered and non-registered Shareholders (including their proxies or corporate representatives) should note that only one device is allowed for each set of login details. Please keep the login details in safe custody for use at the AGM and do not disclose them to anyone else. Neither the Company nor its officers or its agents assume any responsibility or liability whatsoever in connection with the transmission of the login details or any use of the login details for voting or otherwise. They should also note that an active and stable internet connection is required in order to allow them to participate, vote and submit questions through the Online Platform.

QUESTIONS AT AND PRIOR TO THE AGM

 

Shareholders (including their proxies or corporate representatives) attending the AGM through the Online Platform will be able to submit questions (whether in English or Chinese) relevant to the proposed resolutions online during the AGM.

The Nomination Committee has also reviewed the independence of Mr Paul Rutherford Carter, Mr Graeme Allan Jack and Professor Mok Shu Kam, Tony and has determined that each of them remains independent.

 

Further, the Nomination Committee has conducted an annual evaluation of the performance of the Board and its Committees. It concluded that each Director continues to make effective and valuable contributions to the Board and demonstrates commitment to the role.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

 

 

 

4. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE NEW SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES

 

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on May 12, 2023, special resolutions were passed to grant general mandates to the Directors (i) to issue, allot and dispose of such number of additional Shares not exceeding 10 per cent. of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution; and (ii) to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10 per cent. of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution. These general mandates are due to expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

 

At the AGM, approval will be sought from Shareholders for the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate as follows:

 

(i) to authorize the Board to issue, allot and dispose of such number of additional Shares not exceeding 10 per cent. (instead of 20 per cent. as permitted under the Listing Rules) of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution (such total number to be subject to adjustment in the case of any conversion of any or all of the Shares into a larger or smaller number of Shares after the passing of such resolution). Any additional Shares to be allotted or issued pursuant to such a general mandate shall not be at a discount of more than 10 per cent. (instead of 20 per cent. as permitted under the Listing Rules) to the “benchmarked price” (as described in Rule 13.36(5) of the Listing Rules). The relevant special resolution is set out in agenda item No. 4 of the Notice of AGM; and

 

(ii) to authorize the Board to repurchase on applicable stock exchanges Shares, including any form of depositary interests or American depositary shares representing the right to receive such Shares issued by the Company, up to a maximum of 10 per cent. of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution (such total number to be subject to adjustment in the case of any conversion of any or all of the Shares into a larger or smaller number of Shares after the passing of such resolution). The relevant ordinary resolution is set out in agenda item No. 5 of the Notice of AGM.

 

In respect of the Issue Mandate, the Board wishes to state that it has no immediate plans to issue any new Shares pursuant to the general mandate under the special resolution in agenda item No. 4 of the Notice of AGM.

 

An explanatory statement, as required under the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to Shareholders for considering the proposal to grant Directors the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

 

 

 

5. RECOMMENDATION

 

The Board considers that the resolutions as set out in the Notice of AGM are all in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Board also considers that it is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders to re-elect those Directors retiring at, or holding office until, the AGM who, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the AGM as well as to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favor of all such resolutions at the AGM.

 

Yours faithfully

 

 

 

To Chi Keung, Simon

Chairman

APPENDIX III      EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

 

 

 

This explanatory statement contains information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

 

1. Issued Shares

 

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 871,256,270. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution in agenda item No. 5 and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 87,125,627 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution in agenda item No. 5.

 

2. Reasons for Repurchase

 

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from its Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase the Shares in the market.

 

Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding requirements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share attributable to the Shareholders and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

 

3. Funding of Repurchase

 

Repurchases of Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the applicable listing rules of stock exchanges and all applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, including profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of the Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase.

 

In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed period within which the Repurchase Mandate may be exercised, there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position of the Company as disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained in the 2023 annual report of the Company. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX III      EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

 

 

 

4.    Share Prices

 

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the SEHK during each of the previous 12 months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

 

    Highest     Lowest

February 2024   25.95     19.00  
March 1, 2024 up to the Latest Practicable Date   31.50     22.15  

 

5. Undertaking

 

The Directors will, so far as the same may be applicable, exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the ordinary resolution in agenda item No. 5 in the Notice of AGM in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquires, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

 

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

 

Neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

APPENDIX III      EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

 

 

 

6. Takeovers Code

 

If, on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

 

As at the Latest Practicable Date, certain indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of CKHH held 332,589,430 Shares, representing approximately 38.17% of the total number of Shares in issue. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the ordinary resolution in agenda item No. 5 in the Notice of AGM, then (assuming such shareholdings as at the Latest Practicable Date otherwise remain the same) the total interests of the CKHH Group would be increased from approximately 38.17% to approximately 42.42% of the total number of Shares in issue.

 

In the opinion of the Directors, such increase may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in such mandatory offer obligation arising.

 

7. Share Repurchase made by the Company

 

The Company has not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on the applicable stock exchanges or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as depositary (the "Depositary") for the American depositary share ("ADS") program of HUTCHMED (China) Limited (the "Company") has received notice from the Company of its Annual General Meeting currently scheduled on the date set forth above. The Company has informed the Depositary that copies of its Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting are available on the Company's website at www.hutch-med.com.

 

In accordance with the provisions of deposit agreement by and among the Company, the Depositary and the holders of ADSs from time to time dated March 16, 2016 (the "Deposit Agreement"), registered holders of ADSs at the close of business (NY time) on the ADS Record Date set forth above ("Holders") will be entitled, subject to any applicable provision of law and the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and the provisions of or governing the ordinary shares of the Company (the "Shares"), to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the whole number of shares represented by such Holder's ADS. A voting instruction form is enclosed for that purpose.

 

Upon the timely receipt from a Holder of a properly completed voting instruction form on or before the voting deadline set forth above, the Depositary shall endeavor, insofar as practicable and permitted under applicable law, the provisions of the Deposit Agreement, the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and the provisions of or governing the Shares, to vote or cause the custodian under the Deposit Agreement to vote the Shares (in person or by proxy) represented by ADSs in accordance with such voting instructions.

 

As the Company has not advised the Depositary that it is aware or should reasonably be aware that substantial opposition exists from Holders against the outcome for which the person designated by the Company as described below would otherwise vote or that the outcome for which the person designated by the Company would otherwise vote would materially and adversely affect the rights of holders of Shares, Holders are advised that in the event that (i) the Depositary timely receives a voting instruction form which fails to specify the manner in which the Depositary is to vote the Shares represented by the ADSs held by such Holder or (ii) no timely instructions are received by the Depositary from a Holder, unless the Company shall advise as aforesaid the Depositary will be required to deem such Holder to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company with respect to the Shares represented by such Holder's ADSs and the Depositary will give a discretionary proxy to such designated person. Subject to applicable law, regulation, and the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, even if the Company should advise the Depositary as described above, the Depositary shall, if so requested in writing by the Company, represent all Shares (whether or not voting instructions have been received in respect of such Shares from Holders) for the purpose of establishing a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.

 

In the event that voting on any resolution or matter is conducted on a show of hands basis in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Depositary will refrain from voting and the voting instructions (or the deemed voting instructions, as set out above) received by the Depositary from Holders shall lapse.

 

Please note that persons beneficially holding ADSs through a bank, broker or other nominee that wish to provide voting instructions with respect to the securities represented by such ADSs must follow the voting instruction requirements of, and adhere to the deadlines set by, such bank, broker or other nominee. Such requirements and deadlines will differ from those set forth herein for registered holders of ADSs.
