LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to give you the notice of the Annual General Meeting and provide you with the information regarding the above resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against those resolutions.

PROPOSED ISSUE MANDATE

Given that the general mandate granted to the Directors to issue Shares pursuant to the written resolutions of the Shareholders dated 29 May 2020 will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, at the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution no. 5(A) will be proposed to grant a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with the additional Shares not exceeding 20% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to such general mandate.

The Proposed Issue Mandate, if granted at the Annual General Meeting, will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or regulations or the Articles of Association; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of the issued Shares was 2,188,514,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution approving the Proposed Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 437,702,800 Shares pursuant to the Proposed Issue Mandate.

PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

Given that the general mandate granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares pursuant to the written resolutions of the Shareholders dated 29 May 2020 will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution no. 5(B) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Proposed Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares representing up to 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Proposed Repurchase Mandate, if granted at the Annual General Meeting, will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company;

  1. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or regulations or the Articles of Association; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 2,188,514,000 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the resolution approving the Proposed Repurchase Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate will be 218,851,400 Shares.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

An explanatory statement in connection with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with article 16.19 of the Articles of Association, Ms. Gui Changqing and Mr. Zhang Zejun, our executive Directors, and Mr. Zhang Senquan, our independent non-executive Director, will retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. All the above three Directors (collectively, the "Retiring Directors"), will retire at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

In reviewing the structure, size and composition of the Board, the nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") will consider the Board diversity from a number of aspects, including but not limited to gender, age, race, language, cultural and educational background, industry and professional experience, skills and knowledge. It shall recommend suitable candidates who are in and outside of the Group's circle of contacts. The candidates identified will be considered against criteria including character and integrity, business experience, compliance, willingness to devote sufficient time to discharge duties, diversity, contribution to the Board, and independence as may be necessary for the operation of the Board as a whole, with a view to maintaining a sound balance of the Board's composition.

Mr. Zhang Senquan was identified by the Nomination Committee in accordance with the diversity policy and terms of reference of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee is of the view that the re-election of Mr. Zhang Senquan as independent non-executive Director will enhance the professional background of the Board in accounting and financial management and promote the diversity of the Board in educational background and professional experience.

Mr. Zhang Senquan has excellent reputation and years of experience in the fields of finance and accounting. Mr. Zhang's joining to the Board will promote the board's diversity and bring enriched and professional finance and accounting knowledge and experience to the Board of Directors. Mr. Zhang is also expected to provide guidance to the Company to further enhance its compliance management, and facilitate the Board's better supervision of execution of the strategic planning in relation to the development of the Company.

The Nomination Committee had assessed and reviewed each of the INEDs' annual written confirmation of independence based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that all of them, namely Mr. Zhang Senquan, Mr. Hu Peng and Mr. Ouyang Liangyi, remain independent. In addition, the Nomination Committee had evaluated the performance of each of the Retiring Directors during the period from their respective appointment dates to 31 December 2020 and found their performance satisfactory. Therefore, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed that all of the Retiring Directors stand for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the Retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

REASONS AND FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares. 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 its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate, repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Companies Law. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Company's Shares are repurchased in the manner provided for in the Companies Law.

IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

The Directors would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the Proposed Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to repurchase Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

GENERAL MATTERS

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their close associates, as defined in the Listing Rules, currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, if the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

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

No core connected person, as defined in the Listing Rules, has notified the Company that he or she or it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

TAKEOVERS CODE IMPLICATIONS

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Zhang Zejun established discretionary trust, namely Paddy Aroma Trust (the "Trust"), and Trident Trust Company (HK) Limited as the trustee of the Trusts. The discretionary beneficiaries of the Trusts include Mr. Zhang, Ms. Gui Changqing (the wife of Mr. Zhang) and his children. Trident Trust Company (HK) Limited holds the entire issued share capital of Paddy Aroma Investment Limited. Paddy Aroma Investment Limited holds entire issued share capital of Natural Capital Holding Limited ("Natural Capital"). Natural Capital holds 930,000,000 Shares. Accordingly, each of Mr. Zhang, Ms. Gui, Trident Trust Company (HK) Limited, Paddy Aroma Investment Limited are deemed to be interested in the 930,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 42.50% of the existing number of the issued Shares.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Proposed Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Zhang and Ms. Gui in the Company will be increased to approximately 47.22% of the number of the issued Shares. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeover Code.

- 15 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to an extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code or the public holding of Shares would be reduced below 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors will not propose to repurchase the Shares as would, in the circumstances, result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the period of six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares had been repurchased by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
