The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in connection with the proposals to be put forward at the AGM to consider: (i) the proposed declaration of Final Dividend; (ii) the proposed re-election of Directors; (iii) the proposed re-appointment of auditor of the Company; and (iv) the proposed general mandates to issue new Shares and to buy-back Shares . This circular is to give all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolutions . A notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 13 to 17 of this circular .

  1. PROPOSED DECLARATION OF FINAL DIVIDEND

An announcement will be made as soon as practicable after the AGM notifying Shareholders of the exchange rate adopted for the conversion of the US¢dividend into Hong Kong dollars .
    As far as the Company is aware, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder had waived or agreed to waive any arrangement under which the Final Dividend is proposed to be distributed .
  2. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
    Pursuant to Article 102 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting, one- third of the Directors shall retire from office by rotation . Pursuant to Article 103 of the Articles of Association, the Directors to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment, but as between persons who became or were last reappointed directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot . In this regard, Mr . Xiaowei WANG, an executive Director, and Mr . Jingwei LIU, an independent non-executive Director, shall retire from office by rotation upon the conclusion of the AGM and be eligible to offer themselves for re-election .
    Pursuant to Code Provision A .4 .3 of Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, serving more than 9 years could be relevant to the determination of a non-executive director's independence . If an independent non-executive director serves more than 9 years, his further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders . Mr . Jingwei LIU was appointed to the Board as an independent non-executive Director on 27 April 2012 . Mr . Liu will serve the Board for more

- 2 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

than 9 years upon 26 April 2021 . In view of this, the re-appointment of Mr . Jingwei LIU at the AGM will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules .

Recommendations to the Board for the proposal for re-election of Mr . Xiaowei WANG as an executive Director, and Mr . Jingwei LIU as independent non-executive Director were made by the nomination committee of the Board, after having considered a range of diversity perspectives including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, ethnicity, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service, as set out in the board diversity policy of the Company disclosed in its annual report .

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be put forward to the Shareholders in relation to the proposed re-election of Mr . Xiaowei WANG as an executive Director, and Mr . Jingwei LIU as an independent non-executive Director .

Biographical details of the aforesaid retiring Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular . At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be put forward for approval of the re-election of each of these retiring Directors .

Recommendation of the Nomination Committee of the Board with respect to the Independent Non-executive Director subject to Re-election at the AGM

The nomination committee of the Board had assessed and reviewed the written confirmation of independence of the independent non-executive Director who had offered himself for re-election at the AGM (namely, Mr . Jingwei LIU) based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3 .13 of the Listing Rules and is satisfied that he remains independent in accordance with Rule 3 .13 of the Listing Rules . Mr . Jingwei LIU is a PRC Certified Public Accountant . He has years of practical experience in listed company's corporate governance, investment and financing, and has a thorough understanding of the company's business operations . During his tenure of office, he has not been involved in the day-to-day management of the Company nor in any relationships or circumstances which would interfere with his exercise of independent judgement . Mr . Liu has been an independent non-executive director of the company over the years and has expressed objective opinions, given independent guidance to the Company and showed firm commitment to his role . The Nomination Committee and the Board believe that Mr . Liu's long-term service will not affect his independent judgment and believe that Mr . Liu has the character, integrity and experience required to continue to perform as an independent non-executive Director .

The nomination committee of the Board is also of the view that Mr . Jingwei LIU would bring to the Board his own perspective, skills and experience, as further described in his biography in Appendix II to this circular .

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is the explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide requisite information to the Shareholders for consideration of the proposal to approve the Share Buy-back Mandate . This also constitutes a memorandum required under section 239 of the Companies Ordinance .

SHARE CAPITAL

Under the Share Buy-back Mandate, the number of Shares that the Company may buy-back shall not exceed 10% of total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the resolution approving the Share Buy- back Mandate .

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 3,489,036,000 Shares in issue . Subject to the passing of ordinary resolution number 6 approving the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to buy-back a maximum of 348,903,600 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares, from the date of the approval up to the earlier of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless by ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held pursuant to the Articles of Association or any applicable laws; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting .

REASONS FOR BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders to propose a general mandate from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy-back Shares . The Directors believe that the Share Buy-back Mandate would give the Company additional flexibility where the situation warrants for the buy-back of the Shares which is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole .

Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an enhancement in the net asset value of the Company per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made in circumstances which the Directors believe are appropriate for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole .

FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

Buy-backs must be made out of the funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the laws and regulations of Hong Kong . The Companies Ordinance provides that the funds required for any buy-back may only be made from the distributable profits and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buy-back to such extent permissible under the Companies Ordinance .

- 7 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

In the event that the power to buy-back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate is to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period, there could be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position as at 31 December 2020, as disclosed in the Company's latest published audited consolidated results contained in the announcement of annual results for the year ended 31 December 2020) . However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to buy-back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing level of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company .

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company under the Share Buy-back Mandate in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders .

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations in Hong Kong .

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Buy- back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders .

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CNMC, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CNMD, was interested in 2,600,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 74 .52% of the issued share capital of the Company . In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy-back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate (if the present shareholding structure of the Company remains unchanged), the aforesaid interest of CNMC would be increased to approximately 82 .80% of the issued share capital of the Company .

If, as a result of share buy-backs by the Company, 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 group of Shareholders acting in concert, may be treated, as a result of share buy-backs by the Company, as having obtained or consolidated control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code .

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of exercising the Share Buy-back Mandate . In addition, in exercising the Share Buy-back Mandate (whether in full or otherwise), the Directors will ensure that the Company shall comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules, including the minimum percentage of Shares being held in public hands .

The Company has not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date and will not buy-back the Shares if public float falls below 25% as a result of such buy-back .

SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve calendar months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
