Dear Sir or Madam,

1 INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement relating to the Increase of the Authorised

Share Capital.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) details of the Increase of the Authorised Share Capital and (ii) a notice of the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2 INCREASE OF THE AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

The Company has an authorised share capital of HK$3,000,000,000. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 14,294,733,167 Ordinary Shares and 15,705,200 Preference Shares in issue. As stated in the Announcement, the Board proposed to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$3,000,000,000 to HK$5,000,000,000 comprised of 33,683,800,000 Ordinary Shares and 16,316,200 Preference Shares and to confirm the re-classification of the authorised share capital of the Company by the creation of 16,316,200 Preference Shares having the rights and privileges as approved by the shareholders of the Company at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 4 November 2020.

Reasons for the Increase of the Authorised Share Capital

In order to accommodate future expansion and growth of the Group and to provide the Company with greater flexibility to raise funds in the future as and when necessary, the Board proposed the Increase of the Authorised Share Capital. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors after making due inquiry as at the Latest Practicable Date, other than the completion of the issuance of Preference Shares as approved by the shareholders of the Company at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 4 November 2020, the Company currently has no plan or intention for equity fund raising by the Company. The Increase of the Authorised Share Capital is intended to replenish the Company's authorised capital headroom following the issuance of the Preference Shares.

Condition of the Increase of the Authorised Share Capital

The Increase of the Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Ordinary Shareholders at the EGM.

3 EGM

The EGM will be convened at Unit 1613-1618, 16/F, Bank of America Tower, 12 Harcourt Road, Central, Hong Kong on 7 May 2021, Friday at 11 : 00 a.m. for the purpose of the Ordinary Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Increase of the Authorised Share Capital. A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-3 of this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made reasonable enquiries, no Ordinary Shareholder has a material interest in the Increase of the Authorised Share Capital as at the Latest Practicable Date and as such, none of the Ordinary Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions at the EGM to approve the Increase of the Authorised Share Capital. The relevant resolution at the EGM only requires the approval of the Ordinary Shareholders.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Ordinary Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company must be taken by poll. Accordingly, the chairman of the EGM will demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote at the EGM pursuant to article 66 of the Articles of Association. Additionally, the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

4 RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the Increase of the Authorised Share Capital is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all Ordinary Shareholders vote in favour of the relevant resolution set out in the notice of the EGM at the EGM.

5 RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiry, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board of

Capital Environment Holdings Limited

Cao Guoxian

Chairman
