AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this document is to provide you with requisite information regarding resolutions to be proposed at the AGM: (i) to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, and to extend the Issue Mandate, (ii) to re-elect the retiring Directors and (iii) to approve the Share Premium Reduction.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

1. RENEWAL OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES AND EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 5 June 2020, ordinary resolutions were passed for the granting (i) the Existing Issue Mandate and (ii) the Existing Repurchase Mandate. The Existing Issue Mandate and the Existing Repurchase Mandate will lapse upon the conclusion of the AGM.

Resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to, inter alia, exercise all powers of the Company to allot, issue or otherwise deal with Shares up to 20% of the total number of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolutions and to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolutions, respectively, (details of which are set out in resolutions nos. 5(2) and 5(1) respectively of the AGM Notice) will be proposed at the AGM. A separate resolution authorising the extension of the Issue Mandate to issue Shares by additional number equal to the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate will also be proposed as resolution no. 5(3) at the AGM.

The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will continue to be in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the AGM or any earlier date as referred to in ordinary resolutions nos. 5(2) and 5(1) set out in the AGM Notice. On the assumption that there will not be any change to the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 8,178,055,251 Shares based on the issued share capital of 40,890,276,258 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors have no current plans to issue any new Shares or repurchase Shares issued by the Company pursuant to the relevant mandates.

An explanatory statement containing the information required under the Listing Rules in respect of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Bye-law 86(2) of the Bye-laws, any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting of members after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and be eligible for re-election. Any Director appointed pursuant to the aforesaid Bye-law shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation according to Bye-law 87(2) of the Bye-laws.

Dr. Elizabeth Monk Daley ("Dr. Daley") and Mr. Sergei Skatershchikov ("Mr. Skatershchikov") have been appointed as independent non-executive Director and non-executive Director with effect from 20 July 2020 and 22 January 2021 respectively. In accordance with Bye-law 86(2) of the Bye-laws, Dr. Daley and Mr. Skatershchikov shall hold office until the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

4

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with Bye-law 87(1) of the Bye-laws,one-third of the Directors (or if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation; and pursuant to Bye-law 87(2) of the Bye-laws, the Directors to retire by rotation shall include any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment. The retiring Director(s) shall also be eligible for re-election.

In this connection, Mr. Duan Xiongfei ("Mr. Duan") and Mr. Wong Ka Kong Adam ("Mr. Wong") are the retiring independent non-executive Directors and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. Mr. Duan has been serving as an independent non-executive Director for more than 9 years as at the Latest Practicable Date and his further appointment is subject to a separate resolution to be approved by Shareholders at the AGM.

As an independent non-executive Director, each of Dr. Daley, Mr. Duan and Mr. Wong did not participate in the day-to-day management of the Company. However, the Board considers that they have deep professional knowledge, suitable qualifications and experience, and Mr. Wong also possesses the appropriate professional qualifications or accounting or related financial management expertise as required under the Listing Rules. Further, Mr. Duan and Mr. Wong have developed an in-depth understanding of the business of the Company during their directorship and remain in a position to provide an independent view and guidance to the Company over the years.

In addition, the nomination committee of the Company had identified or selected the above proposed independent non-executive Directors in accordance with the criteria set out in the nomination policy and board diversity policy adopted by the Company in consideration of the relevant factors including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills and knowledge. It also assessed the independence of each of the above proposed independent non-executive Directors based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

Based on the recommendation of the nomination committee of the Company, the Board is of the opinion that Dr. Daley, Mr. Duan (who has been serving as an independent non-executive Director for more than 9 years as at the Latest Practicable Date) and Mr. Wong remain independent and will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and skill to the Board for its operational efficiency and diversity. They are being eligible and recommended for re-election at the AGM.

Details of the Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

3. SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION

The Board proposes to put forward to the Shareholders a proposal for the Share Premium Reduction pursuant to the laws of Bermuda and the Bye-laws. The credits arising from the Share Premium Reduction will be transferred to the Contributed Surplus Account whereupon it will be applied to set-off the entire amount of the accumulated losses of the Company as at 31 December 2020.

5

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at 31 December 2020, the amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account of the Company was approximately HK$1,984,774,557.63 and the accumulated losses of the Company was approximately HK$2,757,368,366. The entire amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account will be reduced to nil and the credit arising from the reduction of the Share Premium Account will be transferred to the Contributed Surplus Account and the Directors will be authorized to apply the amount standing to the credit of the Contributed Surplus Account to set-off the entire amount of the accumulated losses of the Company as at 31 December 2020.

Upon the Share Premium Reduction becoming effective, the credit balance in the Share Premium Account would be reduced to nil.

Reasons for the Share Premium Reduction

The Share Premium Reduction and the subsequent transfer of the credit arising therefrom to the Contributed Surplus Account will be set off against the accumulated losses of the Company by the amount of such credits, and can give the Company greater flexibility in relation to its distribution policy at the earliest opportunity in the future as and when the Board considers appropriate. The Board considers that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to implement the Share Premium Reduction.

Effects of the Share Premium Reduction

The Share Premium Reduction does not involve any reduction in the authorised or issued share capital of the Company, nor does it involve any reduction in the nominal value of the Shares or trading arrangements concerning the Shares.

Save for the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Premium Reduction which are considered to be immaterial, the Board considers that the implementation of the Share Premium Reduction will not, in itself, have a material adverse effect on the underlying assets, business operations, management, financial position of the Company or the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. There are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Share Premium Reduction would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

Conditions of the Share Premium Reduction

The Share Premium Reduction is conditional upon:

  1. the passing of a special resolution approving the Share Premium Reduction by Shareholders at the AGM; and
  2. compliance with Section 46(2) of the Companies Act, including but not limited to (i) the publication of a notice in relation to the Share Premium Reduction in an appointed newspaper in Bermuda on a date not more than 30 days and not less than 15 days before the Effective Date; and (ii) the Board being satisfied that on the Effective Date, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Share Premium Reduction would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

6

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, it is expected that the Share Premium Reduction will become effective on the next business day immediately following the date of passing of the special resolution no. 6 as set out in the AGM Notice at the AGM, at which the relevant special resolution approving the Share Premium Reduction will be considered and, if thought fit, passed by the Shareholders.

4. AGM

The AGM will be held at the Conference Room, Suite 1201, 12/F., Li Po Chun Chambers, 189 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong on Thursday, 3 June 2021 at 10:30 a.m.. The AGM Notice is set out on pages 15 to 20 of this circular at which, among other businesses, resolutions will be proposed to approve

  1. the grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate,
  2. re-electionof the retiring Directors and (iii) the Share Premium Reduction.

Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

To safeguard the health and safety of the Shareholders and to prevent the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic, the following precautionary measures will be implemented at the AGM:

  1. conduct compulsory body temperature check for attendees at the entrance of the AGM venue and anyone with a body temperature of over 37.3 degrees Celsius will not be permitted to access to the AGM venue;
  2. properly wear surgical mask prior to admission to the AGM venue and at any time within the AGM venue;
  3. appropriate settings will be arranged at the AGM venue to meet the relevant regulatory requirements with respect to physical distancing. As a result, there will be limited capacity for attendees to attend the AGM; and

5. LISTING RULES IMPLICATION AND VOTING AT THE AGM

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material aspects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to be included in this circular concerning the Repurchase Mandate of the Company.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of the Shares in issue was 40,890,276,258 Shares, all of which are fully paid.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the assumption that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 4,089,027,625 Shares, representing not more than 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

  1. REASONS FOR PURCHASES

Although the Directors have no present intention of purchasing any Shares, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders. Such purchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. Such repurchase will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

  1. FUNDING OF PURCHASES

The Directors propose that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate would be financed from the Company's internal resources. In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed purchase period. The Directors do not propose 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 levels of the Company.

  1. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchase of Shares has been made by the Company during the last six months (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

9

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates presently intends to sell Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

If as a result of a share repurchase by the Company, a shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar the Directors are aware of, (i) HLEE Finance S.à r.l. ("HLEE"), holding approximately 16.67% of the total number of Shares in issue, (ii) Poly Culture Group Corporation Limited ("Poly Culture"), holding approximately 13.02% of the total number of Shares in issue, and (iii) Jade Link Holdings Limited ("Jade Link"), holding approximately 12.32% of the total number of Shares in issue. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of HLEE, Poly Culture and Jade Link in the Company would be increased to approximately 18.52%, 14.47% and 13.69% of the total number of Shares in issue respectively and therefore no obligation to make a general offer to Shareholders under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code would arise.

The Directors will be cautious in exercising the Repurchase Mandate and have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as to jeopardize the public float requirement of 25% or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange.

  1. SHARE PRICES

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