References are made to the circular of China Information Technology Development Limited (the “ Company ”) dated 25 January 2022 (the “ Circular ”) and the prospectus of the Company dated 9 March 2022 (the “ Prospectus ”) regarding the Rights Issue and the Placing. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular and the Prospectus.
RESULTS OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE
The Board announces that as at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 23 March 2022, being the Latest Time for Acceptance of, and payment for, the Rights Shares in respect of the provisional allotments under the Rights Issue and the application and payment for excess Rights Shares, a total of 16 valid acceptances and applications had been received for a total of 203,244,024 Rights Shares, comprising (a) 9 valid acceptances of provisional allotments under the PALs in respect of 115,027,076 Rights Shares; and (b) 7 valid applications for excess Rights Shares under the EAFs in respect of 88,216,948 Rights Shares, representing approximately 118.46% of the total number of 171,570,664 Rights Shares available for subscription under the Rights Issue.

Based on the above results, the Rights Issue was over-subscribed by 31,673,360 Rights Shares, representing approximately 18.46% of the total number of 171,570,664 Rights Shares offered under the Rights Issue.
EXCESS APPLICATION
Given the valid acceptance of provisional allotments under the PALs mentioned above, 56,543,588 Rights Shares, representing approximately 32.96% of the total number of 171,570,664 Rights Shares were available for subscription under the EAFs. Such number of excess Rights Shares was insufficient to satisfy all valid applications for a total number of 88,216,948 excess Rights Shares under the EAFs.
The allocation of the excess Rights Shares was made pursuant to the principles set out in the section headed “Letter from the Board — The Rights Issue — Application and payment for the excess Rights Shares” in the Prospectus. Given that the number of excess Rights Shares available for subscription under the EAFs only represented approximately 64.10% of a total of 88,216,948 excess Rights Shares validly applied for, the allocation of the 56,543,588 Rights Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders who applied for excess Rights Shares was made on a fair and equitable basis, and as far as practicable on a pro-rata basis of approximately 64.10% by reference to the number of excess Rights Shares applied for under each application. Reference was only made to the number of excess Rights Shares applied for but no reference was made to the Rights Shares subscribed through applications by PALs or the existing number of Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders. In addition, no preference was given to applications for topping up odd-lot holdings to whole lot holdings.

THE PLACING AGREEMENT
Under the terms of the Placing Agreement, as all the Rights Shares were taken up in the Rights Issue through the PAL(s) and EAF(s), the Placing will not proceed and the obligations of the Placing Agents under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Untaken Shares and ES Unsold Rights Shares have been fully discharged.
The Company will publish a further announcement on, among other things, the further information relating to the allotment results of the Rights Issue on Tuesday, 12 April 2022.
