As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 4,664,485,911 Shares. On the basis that no further Shares will be issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting and subject to the passing of the abovementioned ordinary resolution, the Company will be allowed to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 932,897,182 Shares under the Issue Mandate.

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back Shares representing up to 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution on the Extension Mandate, the number of Shares bought back by the Company under the Share Buy-back Mandate (if approved by an ordinary resolution at the Annual General Meeting) will also be added to extend the Issue Mandate provided that such additional amount shall not exceed 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

Subject to the approval of the above proposals by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, the Issue Mandate, the Share Buy-back 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 within which the Company is required by the Companies Act or the Articles of Association to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE

SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate.

NUMBER OF ISSUED SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 4,664,485,911 Shares in issue. On the basis that no further Shares will be issued or bought back from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the Annual General Meeting and subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Company will be allowed to buy back a maximum of 466,448,591 Shares, which represent 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Share Buy-back Mandate, during the period ending on 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 under the Companies Act or the Articles of Association; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back its Shares. Such buy-backs 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 buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

The buy-back by the Company of the Shares listed on the Stock Exchange must be funded out of funds legally available for the purposes in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company may not buy back the Shares on the Stock Exchange for consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, the Company may make buy-backs out of the profits or out of the Company's share premium account or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares for the purpose of the buy-back. Any amount of premium payable on the purchase over the par value of the Shares to be bought back must be out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account. If authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Act, buy-backs may also be made out of capital.

The Directors consider that if the Share Buy-back Mandate were to be exercised in full during the proposed buy-back period, it may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the position 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

- 17 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE

SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company and/or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL MATTERS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, if the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association, the Companies Act and any other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, 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 (within the meaning of 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 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, Mr. Sun Hongbin, together with companies controlled by him, namely Sunac International Investment Holdings Ltd ("Sunac International") and Tianjin Biaodi Investment Consultancy Company Limited ("Tianjin Biaodi"), were interested in 2,108,359,884 Shares in aggregate, representing approximately 45.20% of the existing number of issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares under the Share Buy-back Mandate and assuming there will be no other change in the issued share capital of the Company, Mr. Sun Hongbin's interests in the Company would be increased to approximately 50.22% of the number of issued Shares. Such increase will exceed the 2% creeper as specified in Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, and in which event, Mr. Sun Hongbin, Sunac International and Tianjin Biaodi (being parties presumed to be acting in concert under the Takeovers Code) may be obliged to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

- 18 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE

SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent that would give rise to such obligation under the Takeovers Code, or otherwise would result in the number of Shares held by the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of public float (i.e. 25%) under the Listing Rules.

SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

No buy-back of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) had been made by the Company in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

SHARE PRICES

APPENDIX II DETAILS OF DIRECTORS PROPOSED FOR RE-ELECTION

In addition, Mr. Poon serves as the independent non-executive directors of over seven listed companies. The Company considers that Mr. Poon has been and will continue to fulfill his roles and obligations diligently as an independent non-executive Director. An independent non-executive Director is not required to take executive role in the management and operations of the Group but to supervise the management of the Group and to attend Board meetings and Board committee meetings (either physically or by other means of communications) as and when required. Before entering into a major transaction, a Board meeting is usually convened for communication and discussion, enabling independent non-executive Directors to fully understand the business and transactions of the Company, so as to fulfill their roles to provide advice and recommendations to the Board. Mr. Poon's sufficient proven record of attendance and participation in the Company's Board meetings since he joined the Company and his advice and recommendations on compliance management, corporate governance, transactions and other matters from time to time have shown his proactive commitment to the Company.

Mr. Poon possesses academic and professional qualifications, diverse experiences and knowledge across a wide range of industries together with a broad understanding of culture in China. He has been able to bring critical and complementary insights on business strategy, governance and capital market to the Board, and he continues to participate in professional development trainings to enhance his professional knowledge, which is conducive to his continuous provision of independent advice to the Board from a new perspective, thus contributing to effective decision making of the Board. The Company and the Directors are of the view, and as confirmed by Mr. Poon, that Mr. Poon will be able to devote sufficient time to discharge his duties as an independent non-executive Director.

Mr. Poon has also demonstrated that he understands his duties and obligations as required by the relevant laws and regulations including the Listing Rules, while in the course of discharging his duties and obligation. Mr. Poon, same as other Directors, is fully supported by the company secretary and the legal team of the Company.

The Company, having received the annual written confirmation of independence given by Mr. Poon pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and taking into consideration the recommendations from the Nomination Committee, considers Mr. Poon remains independent. Despite serving on the Board for more than nine years could be relevant to the determination of an independent non-executive Director's independence, Mr. Poon has not engaged in any executive management of the Group. Taking into consideration Mr. Poon's independent scope of work in the past years, the Board is of the view that continued tenure of independent non-executive Director brings considerable stability to the Board and the Board has benefited from the presence of Mr. Poon, who has gained valuable insight into the Group and its markets over time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Poon did not have any interest in Shares as defined in Part XV of the SFO.

  2. On the trial or hearing of any action or other proceedings for the recovery of any money due for any call, it shall be sufficient to prove that the name of the Member sued is entered in the Register as the holder, or one of the holders, of the shares in respect of which such debt accrued, that the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the minute book, and that notice of such call was duly given to the Member sued, in pursuance of these Articles; and it shall not be necessary to prove the appointment of the Directors who made such call, nor any other matters whatsoever, but the proof of the matters aforesaid shall be conclusive evidence of the debt.
  3. Any amount payable in respect of a share upon allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or premium or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date fixed for payment and if it is not paid the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

  5. The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, and either in money or money's worth, all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid or instalments payable upon any shares held by him and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (if any) as the Board may decide. The Board may at any time repay the amount so advanced upon giving to such Member not less than one (1) month's Notice of its intention in that behalf, unless before the expiration of such notice the amount so advanced shall have been called up on the shares in respect of which it was advanced. Such payment in advance shall not entitle the holder of such share or shares to participate in respect thereof in a dividend subsequently declared.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

34. (1) If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Board may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) clear days' Notice:

      1. stating that if the Notice is not complied with the shares on which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.
    1. If the requirements of any such Notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which such Notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before payment of all calls and interest due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect, and such forfeiture shall include all dividends and bonuses declared in respect of the forfeited share but not actually paid before the forfeiture.

  4. A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares but nevertheless shall remain liable to pay the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, with (if the Directors shall in their discretion so require) interest thereon from the date of forfeiture until payment at such rate (not exceeding twenty per cent. (20%) per annum) as the Board determines. The Board may enforce payment thereof if it thinks fit, and without any deduction or allowance for the value of the forfeited shares, at the date of forfeiture, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all such moneys in respect of the shares. For the purposes of this Article any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, is payable thereon at a fixed time which is subsequent to the date of forfeiture, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall notwithstanding that time has not yet arrived be deemed to be payable at the date of forfeiture, and the same shall become due and payable immediately upon the forfeiture, but interest thereon shall only be payable in respect of any period between the said fixed time and the date of actual payment.
  5. A declaration by a Director or the Secretary that a share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share, and such declaration shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer by the Company if necessary) constitute a good title to the share, and the person to whom the share is disposed of shall be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration (if any),

When any share shall have been forfeited, notice of the declaration shall be given to the Member in whose name it stood immediately prior to the forfeiture, and an entry of the forfeiture, with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the register, but no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice or make any such entry.

  1. Notwithstanding any such forfeiture as aforesaid the Board may at any time, before any shares so forfeited shall have been sold, re allotted or otherwise disposed of, permit the shares forfeited to be bought back upon the terms of payment of all calls and interest due upon and expenses incurred in respect of the share, and upon such further terms (if any) as it thinks fit.
  2. The forfeiture of a share shall not prejudice the right of the Company to any call already made or instalment payable thereon.
  3. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

  2. The Board may on any occasion determine that rights of election and the allotment of shares under paragraph (1) of this Article shall not be made available or made to any shareholders with registered addresses in any territory where, in the absence of a registration statement or other special formalities, the circulation of an offer of such rights of election or the allotment of shares would or might, in the opinion of the Board, be unlawful or impracticable, and in such event the provisions aforesaid shall be read and construed subject to such determination. Members affected as a result of the foregoing sentence shall not be or be deemed to be a separate class of Members for any purpose whatsoever.

    1. Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles, the Board may resolve to capitalise all or any part of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund (including a share premium account and the profit and loss account) whether or not the same is available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up unissued shares to be allotted to (i) employees (including directors) of the Company and/or its affiliates (meaning any individual, corporation, partnership, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated association or other entity (other than the Company) that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Company) upon exercise or vesting of any options or awards granted under any share incentive scheme or employee benefit scheme or other arrangement which relates to such persons that has been adopted or approved by the Members at a general meeting, or (ii) any trustee of any trust to whom shares are to be allotted and issued by the Company in connection with the operation of any share incentive scheme or employee benefit scheme or other arrangement which relates to such persons that has been adopted or approved by the Members at a general meeting.
  2. The Board may settle, as it considers appropriate, any difficulty arising in regard to any distribution under the last preceding Article and in particular may issue certificates in

The Board may appoint any person to sign on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any contract necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon the Members.

If, so long as any of the rights attached to any warrants issued by the Company to subscribe for shares of the Company shall remain exercisable, the Company does any act or engages in any transaction which, as a result of any adjustments to the subscription price in accordance with the provisions of the conditions of the warrants, would reduce the subscription price to below the par value of a share, then the following provisions shall apply:
    1. as from the date of such act or transaction the Company shall establish and thereafter (subject as provided in this Article) maintain in accordance with the provisions of this Article a reserve (the "Subscription Rights Reserve") the amount of which shall at no time be less than the sum which for the time being would be required to be capitalised and applied in paying up in full the nominal amount of the additional shares required to be issued and allotted credited as fully paid pursuant to sub paragraph (c) below on the exercise in full of all the subscription rights outstanding and shall apply the Subscription Rights Reserve in paying up such additional shares in full as and when the same are allotted;
    2. the Subscription Rights Reserve shall not be used for any purpose other than that specified above unless all other reserves of the Company (other than share premium account) have been extinguished and will then only be used to make good losses of the Company if and so far as is required by law;
    3. upon the exercise of all or any of the subscription rights represented by any warrant, the relevant subscription rights shall be exercisable in respect of a nominal amount of shares equal to the amount in cash which the holder of such warrant is required to pay on exercise of the subscription rights represented thereby (or, as the case may be the relevant portion thereof in the event of a partial exercise of the subscription rights) and, in addition, there shall be allotted in respect of such subscription rights to the exercising warrantholder, credited as fully paid, such additional nominal amount of shares as is equal to the difference between:

      1. the said amount in cash which the holder of such warrant is required to pay on exercise of the subscription rights represented thereby (or, as the case may be, the relevant portion thereof in the event of a partial exercise of the subscription rights); and
      2. the nominal amount of shares in respect of which such subscription rights would have been exercisable having regard to the provisions of the conditions of the warrants, had it been possible for such subscription rights to represent the right to subscribe for shares at less than par and immediately upon such exercise so much of the sum standing to the credit of the Subscription Rights Reserve as is required to pay up in full such additional nominal amount of shares shall be capitalised and applied in paying up in full such additional nominal amount of shares which shall forthwith be allotted credited as fully paid to the exercising warrantholders; and
    1. if, upon the exercise of the subscription rights represented by any warrant, the amount standing to the credit of the Subscription Rights Reserve is not sufficient to pay up in full such additional nominal amount of shares equal to such difference as aforesaid to which the exercising warrantholder is entitled, the Board shall apply any profits or reserves then or thereafter becoming available (including, to the extent permitted by law, share premium account) for such purpose until such additional nominal amount of shares is paid up and allotted as aforesaid and until then no dividend or other distribution shall be paid or made on the fully paid shares of the Company then in issue. Pending such payment and allotment, the exercising warrantholder shall be issued by the Company with a certificate evidencing his right to the allotment of such additional nominal amount of shares. The rights represented by any such certificate shall be in registered form and shall be transferable in whole or in part in units of one share in the like manner as the shares for the time being are transferable, and the Company shall make such arrangements in relation to the maintenance of a register therefor and other matters in relation thereto as the Board may think fit and adequate particulars thereof shall be made known to each relevant exercising warrantholder upon the issue of such certificate.
  1. Shares allotted pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall rank pari passu in all respects with the other shares allotted on the relevant exercise of the subscription rights represented by the warrant concerned. Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraph (1) of this Article, no fraction of any share shall be allotted on exercise of the subscription rights.
  2. The provision of this Article as to the establishment and maintenance of the Subscription Rights Reserve shall not be altered or added to in any way which would vary or abrogate, or which would have the effect of varying or abrogating the

provisions for the benefit of any warrantholder or class of warrantholders under this Article without the sanction of a special resolution of such warrantholders or class of warrantholders.

  1. A certificate or report by the auditors for the time being of the Company as to whether or not the Subscription Rights Reserve is required to be established and maintained and if so the amount thereof so required to be established and maintained, as to the purposes for which the Subscription Rights Reserve has been used, as to the extent to which it has been used to make good losses of the Company, as to the additional nominal amount of shares required to be allotted to exercising warrantholders credited as fully paid, and as to any other matter concerning the Subscription Rights Reserve shall (in the absence of manifest error) be conclusive and binding upon the Company and all warrantholders and shareholders.

ACCOUNTING RECORDS

  1. The Board shall cause true accounts to be kept of the sums of money received and expended by the Company, and the matters in respect of which such receipt and expenditure take place, and of the property, assets, credits and liabilities of the Company and of all other matters required by the LawActor necessary to give a true and fair view of the Company's affairs and to explain its transactions.
  2. The accounting records shall be kept at the Office or, at such other place or places as the Board decides and shall always be open to inspection by the Directors.
