For allocation purpose only, the Hong Kong Public Offer Shares (after taking into account any adjustment in the number of Offer Shares allocated between the Hong Kong Public Offer and the International Placing and after deducting the number of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares validly applied for by the eligible full-time employees of the Group in Hong Kong using PINK Application Forms) will be divided equally into two pools: pool A and pool B, both of which are available on an equitable basis to successful applicants. The Hong Kong Public Offer Shares in pool A will be allocated on an equitable basis to applicants who have applied for Offer Shares with a total subscription amount of HK$5 million or below (excluding the brokerage, SFC transaction levy, investor compensation levy and Stock Exchange trading fee payable). The Hong Kong Public Offer Shares in pool B will be allocated on an equitable basis to applicants who have applied for Hong Kong Public Offer Shares with a total subscription amount of HK$5 million or over (excluding the brokerage, SFC transaction levy, investor compensation levy and Stock Exchange trading fee payable). Applicants should be aware that applications in different pools may receive different allocation ratios. Where one but not both of the pools is undersubscribed, the surplus Hong Kong Public Offer Shares will be transferred to the other pool to satisfy demand in that pool and be allocated accordingly. Applicants can only receive an allocation of Hong Kong Public Offer Shares from either pool A or pool B but not from both pools. When there is over-subscription, allocation of the Hong Kong Public Offer Shares to investors under the Hong Kong Public Offer, both in relation to pool A and pool B, will be based solely on the level of valid applications received under the Hong Kong Public Offer. The basis of allocation in each pool may vary, depending on the number of the Hong Kong Public Offer Shares validly applied for by each applicant, but, subject to that, will be made strictly on a pro-rata basis.
