LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE ISSUANCE MANDATE, REPURCHASE MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE

The Company's existing mandates to issue and repurchase Shares were approved by the Shareholders pursuant to the ordinary resolutions duly passed at the last annual general meeting on 19 June 2020. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandates to issue and repurchase Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM.

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the 2021 AGM to approve the granting of the new general mandates to the Directors that would enable the Company:

  1. to allot, issue or deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution at the 2021 AGM (the "Issuance Mandate");
  2. to repurchase Shares, on the Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange, not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution at the 2021 AGM (the "Repurchase Mandate"); and
  3. to extend the Issuance Mandate by an amount representing the total number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Repurchase Mandate referred to in paragraph (b) above (the "Extension Mandate").

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The Issuance Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate would expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or the applicable laws of Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) revocation or variation by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

The Directors have no present immediate plan to exercise the Issuance Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the 2021 AGM).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 16.2 of the Articles, any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for the re-election.

As such, Mr. Zhang Ping and Mr. Wu Liang shall retire at the 2021 AGM and they, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the 2021 AGM.

Pursuant to Article 16.18, at every annual general meeting of the Company one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to, but not less than, one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. Any Director appointed pursuant to Article 16.2 shall not be taken into account in determining which Directors are to retire by rotation. A retiring Director shall retain office until the close of the meeting at which he retires and shall be eligible for re-election thereat.

As such, Mr. Zhang Jiawang, Mr. Sun Qian and Mr. Wang Liyan, shall retire at the 2021 AGM and they, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the 2021 AGM.

The Board has received from each of Mr. Wang Liyan ("Mr. Wang") and Mr. Wu Liang ("Mr. Wu") an annual confirmation on his independence pursuant to the Listing Rules. The Board is not aware of any circumstance that might influence the independence of Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu and considers Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu to be independent. The Board is satisfied that, taking into account, among others, the valuable insights, useful guidance and independent judgment provided to the Board by each of Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu, each of Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu is of such character, integrity and experience commensurate with office of an independent non-executive Director. Mr. Wang's and Mr. Wu's professional background, knowledge and experience have also contributed to the diversity of the Board. Based on the above mentioned considerations, the Board, on the recommendation of the nomination committee of the Company, would recommend each of Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu for re-election at the 2021 AGM.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election is subject to shareholders' approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of the above Directors proposed to be re-elected at the 2021 AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2021 AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REASON FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange. Such repurchases may, depending on 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 repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 8,381,295,229 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 6 of the AGM Notice of the 2021 AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date remains unchanged up to the date of the 2021 AGM, i.e. being 8,381,295,229 Shares, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a maximum of 838,129,522 Shares, being 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the 2021 AGM.

3. FUNDING AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase will be funded from the Company's internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

Under the Cayman Islands law, any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of profits or the share premium account of the Company or, if authorized by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. In accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the shares repurchased would be treated as cancelled.

− 7 −

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.

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 of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. EFFECT OF THE 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 for the purpose of the Takeovers Code.

Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as that term is defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

The Directors are not aware of any person who would be obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code, if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full. Moreover, the Directors do not intend to exercise the power of the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that results in a public shareholding of less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the Shares in public hands.

− 8 −

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. LISTING RULES RELATING TO REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed and such exchange is recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the Articles.

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors or, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is granted, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or that he has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him 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 make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
