AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of certain resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 105 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Lo Chi Sum and Dr. Ng Chi Yeung, Simon will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. In addition, Mr. Li Jinping who has been appointed by the Board as the executive Director on 24 August 2020, will hold office until the Annual General Meeting pursuant to Article 109 of the Articles of Association. All of the above retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for reelection at the Annual General Meeting.

Dr. Ng Chi Yeung, Simon, the retiring independent non-executive Director, has confirmed his independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee of the Company has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's Board Diversity Policy and Director Nomination Policy, the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of independent non-executive Directors. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board on re-election of all the retiring Directors, including the aforesaid independent non- executive Director, who is due to retire at the Annual General Meeting. The Company considers that the retiring independent non-executive Director is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules and believes that Dr. Ng Chi Yeung, Simon's academic background and extensive business experience will continue to bring diversity and new perspectives to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning.

Details of the retiring Directors are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 June 2020, a general unconditional mandate was granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase Shares if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of a new general mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. a total of 104,124,316 Shares on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the ''Repurchase Mandate''). The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase any Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 June 2020, a general unconditional mandate was granted to the Directors to issue Shares.

An ordinary resolution to extend the Issuance Mandate by adding the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will also be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,041,243,169 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 7 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 1,041,243,169 Shares, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 104,124,316 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

The Company may only apply funds legally available for Share repurchase in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of 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 of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the

- 12 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Cerulean Coast Limited, a controlling Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested in 667,500,000 Shares representing approximately 64.11% of the total issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, the aggregate shareholding interest of Cerulean Coast Limited would be increased to approximately 71.23% of the issued Shares of the Company.

The Directors consider that such increase in shareholding will not give rise to an obligation for Cerulean Coast Limited to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to such an obligation.

In addition, the Directors do not have any intention to exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate to the effect that it will result in the public float to fall below the percentage as required under the Listing Rules or such other minimum percentage agreed by the Stock Exchange from time to time.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
