LETTER FROM THE BOARD
BUSINESSES TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE EGM
Ordinary resolutions (cumulative voting) will be proposed at the EGM to approve: (1) the election of executive Directors and non-executive Directors of the fifth session of the Board; (2) the election of independent non-executive Directors of the fifth session of the Board; and (3) the election of non-employee representative Supervisors of the fifth session of the Supervisory Committee.
Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the cumulative voting system shall be adopted at the general meeting for the election of two or more Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) and Supervisors. When conducting cumulative voting, the number of votes to which a Shareholder is entitled shall be equal to the total number of Shares he/she holds times the number of Director or Supervisor candidates. A Shareholder may cast all his/her votes to one Director or Supervisor candidate or to various Director or Supervisor candidates. When conducting cumulative voting, the election of independent non-executive Directors shall be conducted separately from the election of other Directors to ensure the proportion of independent non-executive Directors on the Board. Accordingly, the cumulative voting system will be adopted with respect to Resolutions No. 1.1 to No. 1.6 on the election of executive Directors and non-executive Directors of the fifth session of the Board, resolutions No. 2.1 to No. 2.4 on the election of independent non-executive Directors of the fifth session of the Board, and resolutions No. 3.1 to No. 3.3 on the election of non-employee representative Supervisors of the fifth session of the Supervisory Committee as contained in the notice of the EGM.

Biographical details of each of the candidates for Directors are set out in Appendix I to this circular.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Nomination policy and process for the independent non-executive Directors
In reviewing the structure of the Board, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee will consider the Board diversity from a number of aspects, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills and knowledge. All Board appointments will be based on meritocracy, and candidates will be considered against criteria including talents, skills and experience as may be necessary for the operation of the Board as a whole, with a view to maintaining a sound balance of the Board's composition.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is of the view that (i) Ms. LIU Chun has more than 30 years of working experience in financial management, and the election of Ms. LIU Chun may replenish the professional knowledge of the Board in financial management, and promote the diversity of the Board in gender; (ii) Mr. LAW Cheuk Kin Stephen has professional qualifications for accountants in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, and has accumulated extensive experience in corporate management through his directorships or senior management positions in various listed companies, as such, the election of Mr. LAW Cheuk Kin Stephen will help the Board to draw on the advanced financial management and corporate governance practice of different jurisdictions; (iii) Mr. LIU Li has been teaching at Guanghua School of Management of Peking University for more than 30 years and has successively served as an independent non-executive director of a number of listed companies, and the election of Mr. LIU Li can complement the professional background and experience of members of the Board in finance and business administration; and (iv) Mr. MA Zhiming has profound economic and accounting background, and the election of Mr. MA Zhiming may further replenish the professional knowledge of the Board in economics, accounting and management. None of the candidates for independent non-executive Directors hold position as a director in seven or more listed companies, and each of them is able to devote sufficient time and attention to the Company's matters. As such, on 5 December 2024, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee nominated each of the candidates as an independent non-executive Director to the Board for it to recommend to the Shareholders for election at the EGM.
The Board considers that each of the candidates for independent non-executive Directors possesses the basic knowledge of operations of listed companies, is familiar with the relevant laws, administrative regulations, departmental rules and other regulatory documents and has the relevant working experiences in law, economics, finance, management or other experiences necessary for serving as an independent non-executive Director.
