MONTHLY UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 3.7 OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

AND

END OF OFFER PERIOD IN RELATION TO THE POSSIBLE TRANSACTION

This announcement is made by Ping An Securities Group (Holdings) Limited (the "Company") pursuant to Rule 3.7 of The Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeovers Code").

References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 5 March 2020, 3 April 2020, 4 May 2020, 4 June 2020, 3 July 2020, 3 August 2020, 3 September 2020, 5 October 2020, 3 November 2020, 20 November 2020, 21 December 2020, 21 January 2021 and 23 February 2021 (the "Announcements") in relation to, among others, the possible transaction (the "Possible Transaction") in which the Receivers may look for potential purchaser(s) for the Charged Shares (as defined in the Announcements) and the possible allotment and issue of certain number of ordinary shares (the "Possible Subscription") by the Company to Mr. Cheung Kam Fai ("Mr. Cheung"). Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements.

UPDATE ON THE POSSIBLE TRANSACTION AND END OF OFFER PERIOD

The Board wishes to update the shareholders and potential investors of the Company that, as at the date of this announcement, the number of the Charged Shares represents approximately 24.47% of the issued share capital of the Company after a series of disposals of the Charged Shares by the Receivers in the market. As the number of the Charged Shares has fallen below 30% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement, there will not be any obligation by the potential purchasers to make a mandatory general offer for any purchases of the Charged Shares under the Takeovers Code. As such, the offer period in relation to the Possible Transaction has ended for the purpose of the Takeovers Code and the Company will cease to publish further monthly announcements in respect of the Possible Transaction, which would otherwise be required under Rule 3.7 of the Takeovers Code.

UPDATE ON THE POSSIBLE SUBSCRIPTION

The Board wishes to update the shareholders and potential investors of the Company that, as at the date of this announcement, the Company and Mr. Cheung are still discussing on the terms of the Possible Subscription and the subscription agreement in relation to the Possible Subscription has not been entered into between the Company and Mr. Cheung.

In compliance with Rule 3.7 of the Takeovers Code, monthly announcement(s) regarding the Possible Subscription will be made until the announcement of a firm intention to make an offer under Rule 3.5 of the Takeovers Code or of a decision not to proceed with an offer is made. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company as and when appropriate or required in accordance with the Listing Rules and/or the Takeovers Code (as the case may be).

WARNINGS: The Possible Subscription may or may not materialise, and even if materialises, may or may not result in a change of control and lead to a general offer under Rule 26.1 of Takeovers Code. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional adviser(s).
