AND
SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
Please refer to the Notice of AGM which sets out the date, time and place of the AGM, the resolutions to be presented at the AGM for Shareholders' approval and the announcement published on 5 June 2025 regarding the proposed change of auditor of the Company.
- For identification purpose only
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the proposed change of auditor of the Company and to seek your approval of the resolution relating to this matter at the AGM.
2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITOR
According to the relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council etc. regarding the appointment of an accounting firm for a state-owned enterprise, there are restrictions in respect of the years of audit services that the accounting firm can continuously provide to a state-owned enterprise. Since the number of years that the Company has continuously engaged its existing auditor, Grant Thornton (Special General Partnership) (the “Grant Thornton”), has reached the prescribed time limit, Grant Thornton will retire as the auditor of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the AGM and will not be re-appointed.
Pursuant to the open selection process and with reference to the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board has resolved to propose the appointment of ShineWing Certified Public Accountants (Special General Partnership) (“ShineWing”) as auditor of the Company for the year of 2025. Such appointment is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM. The Board and the Audit Committee in proposing the appointment of ShineWing as the new auditor have reviewed the qualifications and experience of ShineWing and consider that ShineWing meets the regulatory requirements in terms of practice qualifications, professional competence, independence, and integrity etc.
Since one of the offices held by Mr. Yang Xiaohui is the partner of ShineWing, the Company has obtained the undertaking of Mr. Yang Xiaohui that he will tender his resignation as independent non-executive director after approval of the appointment of ShineWing as auditor of the Company by the Shareholders. Details of the resignation and the change of independent non-executive director will be announced by the Company in due course.
The Company has received a confirmation letter from Grant Thornton confirming that there are no circumstances connected with the proposed change of auditor that should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company. The Board has also confirmed that there are no circumstances connected with the proposed change of auditor that should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders. The Board and the Audit Committee have also confirmed that there are no disagreement or outstanding matters between the Company and Grant Thornton. The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to Grant Thornton for its professional services and support in the past.
Resolution is to be presented at the AGM to appoint ShineWing as auditor of the Company and to authorize the Board to fix their remuneration.
3. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The above ordinary resolution to be presented is set out as Ordinary Resolutions No.7 in the Supplemental Notice of AGM on pages 7 and 8 of this circular.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Since the proxy form (the “Original Proxy Form”) issued on 29 April 2025 does not contain the new resolution in the Supplemental Notice of AGM, a supplemental proxy form (the “Supplemental Proxy Form”) will be issued with this circular.
If any Shareholder has not yet submitted the Original Proxy Form according to the instructions in the Notice of AGM and wishes to appoint a proxy to attend the AGM on his behalf, he is required to submit the Supplemental Proxy Form. In this case, the Shareholder shall not submit the Original Proxy Form.
To be valid, the supplemental proxy form, together with any power of attorney (if any) or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy thereof, must be deposited at the Company’s H shares registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong (in the case of holders of H Shares) or to the Company’s principal place of business in the PRC at 5th Floor, Longfu Mansion, No. 95 Longfusi Road, Dongcheng District, Beijing, the People’s Republic of China (in the case of holders of Domestic Shares) as soon as possible and in any event not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM (i.e. not later than 19 June 2025 at 10:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time)).
For any Shareholder who has submitted the Original Proxy Form according to the instructions in the Notice of AGM, please note that:
(i) if the Shareholder has not submitted the Supplemental Proxy Form, the Original Proxy Form (if properly completed) shall be deemed as a valid proxy form submitted by the Shareholder. The proxy appointed according to the Original Proxy Form shall be entitled to vote according to the instructions given previously by the Shareholder or to vote at his discretion (if no such instructions were given) at the AGM on the resolutions proposed in the Notice of AGM, and to vote at his discretion on the new resolution set out in the Supplemental Notice of AGM;
(ii) if the Shareholder has submitted the Supplemental Proxy Form prior to the deadline set out in the Notice of AGM, then the Supplemental Proxy Form (if properly completed) shall be deemed as a valid proxy form submitted by the Shareholder. The Original Proxy Form shall be deemed to be revoked. The proxy appointed pursuant to the Supplemental Proxy Form shall be entitled to vote according to the instructions given previously by the Shareholder or to vote at his discretion (if no such instructions were given) on any resolution (including the new resolution set out in the Supplemental Notice of AGM) proposed in an appropriate manner at the AGM; and
(iii) if the Shareholder submitted the Supplemental Proxy Form after the designated time, or the Supplemental Proxy Form submitted is improperly completed, the Supplemental Proxy Form will be invalid. The Original Proxy Form, if properly completed, will be treated as a valid proxy form submitted by the Shareholder. The arrangement as mentioned in (i) above shall apply as if no Supplemental Proxy Form was submitted.
Completion and delivery of the Original Proxy Form and/or the Supplemental Proxy Form will not preclude you from attending and voting at the meeting or any adjournment thereof if you so wish.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
4. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL
In accordance with the requirement of Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes at the AGM will be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) and Rule 13.39(5A) of the Listing Rules.
5. RECOMMENDATION
