APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 554,185,338 Shares (excluding 9,359,100 treasury shares), all of them are H Shares. Subject to the passing of the special resolution set out in item 5 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate to the Board and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 554,185,338 Shares (excluding 9,359,100 treasury shares), the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a maximum of 55,418,533 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

  1. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Share repurchase 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.

  1. FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE

The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the PRC and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

  1. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE

The Company may cancel any Shares it repurchased and/or hold them as treasury shares subject to, for example, market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases (the Company may use general mandate to resell such treasury shares). All Shares held as treasury shares retain their listing status.

There might be a adverse impact on the working capital or gearing levels of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during the period from each of the previous 12 months up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month Highest (HK$) Lowest (HK$)
April 2025 4.03 3.15
May 2025 5.70 3.84
June 2025 6.30 5.03

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the PRC. The Company has also confirmed that there is nothing unusual in the explanatory statement and the proposed share repurchase.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Sinovation Ventures, Nuosai Yucheng, Mr. Wang Hua and Ms. Tao directly held 135,000,000, 8,640,000, 8,640,000 and 2,160,000 Shares in the Company, respectively. Sinovation Ventures, Nuosai Yucheng, Mr. Wang Hua and Ms. Tao have been acting in concert and will continue to act in concert in the Company’s general meetings and Board meetings pursuant to a concert party agreement among themselves. As a result, each of Sinovation Ventures, Nuosai Yucheng, Mr. Wang Hua, Ms. Tao, Ms. Lang Chunhui and Mr. Zhang Ying is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by other members of the single largest group of Shareholders (i.e. 154,440,000 Shares, representing approximately 27.87% of the issued Shares of the Company (excluding treasury shares)). In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate, the aggregate shareholding of Sinovation Ventures, Nuosai Yucheng, Mr. Wang Hua, Ms. Tao, Ms. Lang Chunhui and Mr. Zhang Ying would be increased to approximately 30.97% of the issued Shares of the Company (excluding treasury shares).

The Directors consider that such increase in shareholding would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code and/or any similar applicable law.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has repurchased its Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as follows:

Repurchase date Number of repurchased shares Highest price per share paid (HK$) Lowest price per share paid (HK$)
8 October 2025 220,000 8.51 8.29
13 October 2025 130,000 7.60 7.40
