Key Points for Shareholders

- Mandatory Cash Offer: Shareholders not involved in the subscription or placing will soon receive a cash offer for their shares. The offer price and terms will be disclosed in the composite document, which will also include independent recommendations and advice.
- Voting and Acceptance: Shareholders are strongly advised to read the composite document carefully before making any decision on the offer. The board has not made any recommendation at this time regarding acceptance of the offer.
- Potential Price Sensitivity: The change in control, the substantial dilution of former major shareholders, and the upcoming cash offer are all events likely to influence Contel’s share price in the short term.
- Regulatory Compliance: The entire process is conducted in line with the Hong Kong Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules.
Next Steps
- Composite offer document to be sent to shareholders on or before 5 August 2026.
