VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

POTENTIAL CONNECTED TRANSACTION

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IN RELATION TO

POSSIBLE COOPERATION

This is a voluntary announcement made by Eagle Ride Investment Holdings Limited (the ''Company'') for keeping its shareholders and potential investors informed of the latest business development of the Company.

The board (the ''Board'') of directors (the ''Directors'') of the Company wishes to inform its shareholders and potential investors that on 9 September 2020 (after trading hours), the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (the ''MOU'') with Cornucopiae Asset Management Limited (''Cornucopiae'') pursuant to which, both parties agreed to explore possible cooperation and investment opportunities and, subject to the terms and conditions of the MOU, to cooperate and establish a specialized gold investment fund (the ''Fund'') under the provisional name of ''Cornucopiae Equity and M&A Fund of Gold''. The objective of the Fund is to seize the opportunities brought by the rising gold prices and engage in equity investment in gold-related companies. The project should meet the criteria of short investment cycle, high expected return and relatively low risk of withdrawal. The legal form of the Fund is expected to be a limited company with a term of 3 years. The size of the first tranche of the Fund is expected to be US$100 million (HK$780 million). Cornucopiae will be the fund manager of the Fund and responsible for its day-to-day operation. The Fund will mainly invest in shares of unlisted gold mining companies with abundant gold reserves and shares of gold mining and refining companies intending to go public and it is now targeting two companies engaging in gold mining and refining in the PRC. The parties will negotiate the final terms for the establishment and management of the Fund and will prepare relevant documents in accordance with applicable laws (collectively the ''Possible Cooperation'').
