At least one independent director shall have appropriate professional qualifications in line with regulatory requirements or be equipped with appropriate accounting or relevant financial management expertise.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In order to reflect and align with the amendments to the Articles of Association, the Board has also resolved to propose to make certain amendments to the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors.

Original Article Amended Article
Article 3 The Board of Directors shall consist of 9 directors, with one chairman of the Board and one executive vice chairman of the Board, who shall be elected by a majority vote of all directors of the Board. At all times, the Board of Directors shall have more than one third independent directors, and the total number of independent directors shall not be less than three.

At least one independent director shall have appropriate professional qualifications in line with regulatory requirements or be equipped with appropriate accounting or relevant financial management expertise.

Save for the proposed amendments, other provisions of the Articles of Association and the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors shall remain unchanged. Prior to the amendments to the Articles of Association and the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors being approved at the AGM, the existing Articles of Association and the existing Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors shall remain valid. The proposed amendments to the existing Articles of Association and the existing Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors are written in Chinese and there is no official translation in respect thereof. The translation into English language in this circular is for reference only. In case of any inconsistency between the English and Chinese versions, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The legal advisers to the Company as to the laws of Hong Kong and the laws of the PRC have confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association conform with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the PRC laws, respectively. The Company also confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association for a company incorporated in the PRC and listed on the Stock Exchange. The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association and the Rules of Procedure of the Board of Directors shall be subject to the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM, and will become effective upon the approval by the Shareholders at the AGM.

(10) Grant of general mandate to the Board to issue Shares

A special resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Board be granted a general mandate to exercise the power of the Company to allot, issue or otherwise deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the special resolution, and to authorize the Board to make amendments to the Articles of Association as it thinks fit so as to reflect the new share capital structure upon the allotment or issue of additional shares pursuant to such mandate.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The number of Shares in issue of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date was 1,226,562,599 Shares, consisting of 507,673,711 H Shares and 718,888,888 Domestic Shares. Assuming that the number of Shares remains unchanged as at the date of passing the special resolution, the Board will be allowed under the general mandate to issue a maximum of 245,312,519 Shares (including both Domestic Shares and H Shares), subject to the passing of the special resolution approving the grant of the general mandate to the Board. Meanwhile, the Board is authorized to make necessary amendments to the Articles of Association so as to reflect the new share capital structure upon the allotment or issue of additional Shares pursuant to such mandate.

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to grant the general mandate to the Board to issue new Shares. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any special circumstances in which the Board might think it appropriate to issue Shares, the ability to do so would give the Directors the flexibility to capture the opportunity if it so arises.

The general mandate would expire on the earlier of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting following the passing of the special resolution; or (b) the date on which the authorization set out in the special resolution is revoked or amended by a special resolution in a general meeting of the Company.

(11) Grant of general mandate to the Board to repurchase H Shares

In accordance with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations, the Listing Rules and other normative documents, in order to provide flexibility to the Directors in any event that it becomes desirable to repurchase H Shares, it is proposed at the AGM to grant the Board a general mandate to repurchase H Shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of H Shares of the Company issued and having not been repurchased on the date of passing the special resolution relating to the mandate at the AGM, and to authorize the Board to do all such deeds, acts, matters and business necessary or desirable for the purpose of or in connection with the exercise of the general mandate to repurchase H Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of H Shares in issue of the Company was 507,673,711 H Shares. If no H Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of H Shares which can be repurchased pursuant to the general mandate will be 50,767,371 H Shares. Details of the general mandate are as set out below:

(1) Subject of the mandate

The specific scope of the mandate includes but not limited to:

(a) granting of a conditional general mandate to the Board to repurchase H Shares in issue at the Stock Exchange in accordance with market conditions and needs of the Company, provided that the number of repurchased H Shares shall not exceed 10% of the total number of H Shares of the Company issued and having not been repurchased on the date of passing the special resolution relating to the mandate at the AGM;


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(b) the Board be authorized to do all such deeds, acts, matters and business necessary or desirable for the purpose of or in connection with the exercise of the general mandate to repurchase H Shares, including (but not limited to) amendments to the Articles of Association and the cancellation of the repurchased H Shares after such general mandate has been exercised.

(2) Conditions precedent

(b) the revocation or variation of the mandate under the resolution by a special resolution at any general meeting of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the grant of the repurchase mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below. The Company is empowered by the Articles of Association to repurchase its own securities.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares issued and not having been repurchased were 1,226,562,599, comprising 507,673,711 H Shares and 718,888,888 Domestic Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no treasury shares (as defined under the Listing Rules). Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the repurchase mandate and on the basis that no H Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorized under the repurchase mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the repurchase mandate remains in force, a total of 50,767,371 H Shares, representing up to 10% of the total number of H Shares issued and not having been repurchased as of the date on which the relevant resolution is approved at the AGM.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF H SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the repurchase mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases of H Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing H Shares, the Company may only apply funds from its internal resources legally available for the purpose under the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the laws, rules and regulations applicable to the PRC, including but not limited to the surplus funds and undistributed profits of the Company.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

5. IMPACT ON THE WORKING CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of H Shares of the Company in issue was 507,673,711 H Shares. If the Company has not allotted and issued or repurchased H Shares on or before the date of the AGM, the maximum number of H Shares which may be repurchased under the general mandate is 50,767,371 H Shares. In any event, the number of H Shares to be repurchased by the Company and the price and other terms on which the H Shares are repurchased will be determined by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the relevant circumstances at that time and in the best interests of the Company. The Directors do not intend to exercise the mandate in circumstances which, in the opinion of the Directors, would have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.

According to the estimates based on the exercise of the repurchase mandate in full, that is, where the Company repurchases 50,767,371 H Shares, such repurchase may have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with its position as at December 31, 2025 as disclosed in the Company's latest published audited accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025. However, if exercising the repurchase mandate would result in such an effect, the Company does not intend to exercise the repurchase mandate in that case.

6. STATUS OF REPURCHASED H SHARES

The listing of all the H Shares repurchased by the Company shall be cancelled and the relevant share certificates shall be cancelled and destroyed. Under the PRC laws, the H Shares repurchased by the Company will be cancelled and the Company's registered capital will be reduced by an amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the H Shares so cancelled.

| March | 3.24 | 2.61 |
| April | 3.19 | 2.13 |
| May (up to the Lastest Practicable Date) | 3.25 | 2.25 |

8. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the repurchase mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC. The Directors have confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

9. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined under the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell to the Company any of the H Shares in the Company if the repurchase mandate is approved at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person(s) (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any H Shares nor has such core connected person(s) undertaken not to sell any of the H Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the repurchase mandate is granted by the Company.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

10. IMPLICATION UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of a share buy-back, any such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (depending on the level of increase of Shareholders’ interests) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Yan ZHOU, our executive Director, chairman of the Board and chief executive officer, was entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to 401,326,800 Shares in our Company, representing approximately 32.72% of the voting rights attached to the total issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the repurchase mandate should be exercised in full, the aggregate interests of Mr. Yan ZHOU will be increased to approximately 34.13% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Such exercise of the repurchase mandate would not give rise to an obligation on Mr. Yan ZHOU to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any buy-backs made pursuant to the general mandate to repurchase H Shares. Nevertheless, the Directors will not effect buy-back to such an extent which would result in the Company failing to comply with the minimum public float threshold as required under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

11. REPURCHASE OF SHARES BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
