EXCLUSIVE FINANCIAL ADVISER TO AVIC INTERNATIONAL

Reference is made to (i) the announcement jointly issued by AVIC International Holdings Limited (the "Company") and AVIC International Holding Corporation ("AVIC International") dated 2 October 2019 (the "Joint Announcement") in relation to, among other things, the H Share Offer, the Delisting and the Merger; and (ii) the announcement

- 1 -

jointly issued by the Company and AVIC International dated 23 October 2019 (the "Delay in Despatch Announcement") in relation to, among other things, the delay in despatch of the composite document in relation to, among other things, the H Share Offer. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this joint announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Joint Announcement.

As stated in the Delay in Despatch Announcement, as additional time is required to finalise certain information to be included in the Composite Document, including, among others, the valuation of the relevant properties of the Group, an application has been made to the Executive pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code for its consent to extend the deadline for the despatch of the Composite Document, together with the Form of Acceptance, to a date falling on or before 15 January 2020. The Executive has granted its consent for such extension.

The Company's Board and AVIC International Board would like to update the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company that the Company and AVIC International are still in the course of finalising the information to be included in the Composite Document, including but not limited to, the valuation of relevant properties of the Group by the Company's property valuer and the reporting on of certain information constituting profit forecasts by the Company's independent financial advisor and accountant respectively.

Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company and/or AVIC International in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code (as the case may be) on the status and progress in connection with the H Share Offer and the Composite Document and the despatch of the Composite Document as and when appropriate.

WARNING

The H Share Offer is conditional upon the fulfilment of the Conditions and the Merger is conditional upon the fulfilment or waiver (where applicable) of the Merger Conditions, in each case as described in the Joint Announcement in all aspects. Accordingly, the H Share Offer may or may not become unconditional and the issue of this joint announcement does not imply that the H Share Offer or the Delisting will be completed. As the Merger Conditions (in respect of the Merger) are different from the Conditions (in respect of the H Share Offer), shareholders and potential investors of the Company should be aware that even following the successful completion of the H Share Offer and the Delisting, there is no certainty that the Merger will proceed. Shareholders and/or potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company (including the H Shares). Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their licensed securities dealers or registered institutions in securities, bank managers, solicitors, professional accountants or other professional advisers.
