LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. ISSUE MANDATE

In order to ensure flexibility and give discretion to the Directors, in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to issue any new Shares, approval is to be sought from the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for the general mandate to issue the Shares. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution no. 5(A) will be proposed to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with the additional Shares in the share capital of the Company up to 20 per cent of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Issue Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 500,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 5(A) and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 100,000,000 Shares under the Issue Mandate.

In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution no. 5(C), the number of Shares bought back by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 5(B) will also be added to extend the 20 per cent limit of the Issue Mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution no. 5(A) provided that such additional amount shall not exceed 10 per cent of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolutions in relation to the Issue Mandate and the Buy-back Mandate. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate.

The Issue Mandate will continue to be in force from the passing of the said resolution until whichever the following first occurs: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association or to be held; and (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under such ordinary resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

3. BUY-BACK MANDATE

In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Buy-back Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back the Shares representing up to 10 per cent of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Buy-back Mandate.

The Buy-back Mandate, if approved, will continue in force until the earliest of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders of the Company in general meeting.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company has no current intention of exercising the Buy-back Mandate.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

4. DECLARATION AND PAYMENT OF FINAL DIVIDEND OUT OF SHARE PREMIUM ACCOUNT

As announced by the Company in its announcement dated 30 March 2021 regarding the annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Board recommended the declaration and payment of a final dividend of RMB0.08 (not subject to withholding tax) per Share for the year ended 31 December 2020 out of the share premium account (the “ Final Dividend ”). As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was a total of 500,000,000 Shares in issued by the Company. On the assumption that no Shares are issued or bought back by the Company after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of Annual General Meeting, the Final Dividend, if declared and paid, will amount to an aggregate amount of approximately RMB40.0 million (not subject to withholding tax). Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in the section headed “Conditions of the Payment of Final Dividend out of Share Premium Account” below, the Final Dividend is intended to be paid out of the share premium account of the Company pursuant to articles 154 and 156 of the Articles of Association and in accordance with the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

According to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020, the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company as at 31 December 2020 was approximately RMB183.6 million.

Upon the payment of the Final Dividend, the remaining balance of the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company will be approximately RMB143.6 million.

Conditions of the Payment of Final Dividend out of Share Premium Account

The payment of the Final Dividend out of the share premium account of the Company is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

• (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting approving the declaration and payment of the Final Dividend out of the share premium account of the Company pursuant to articles 154 and 156 of the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; and

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

• (ii) the Directors being satisfied that there are no reasonable grounds for believing that immediately following the payment of the Final Dividend, the Company will be unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

The conditions set out above cannot be waived. If such conditions are not satisfied, the Final Dividend will not be paid. Subject to the fulfilment of the above conditions, the proposed Final Dividend is expected to be distributed to Shareholders on or around Tuesday, 20 July 2021. The Final Dividend will be declared in RMB and paid in HKD by applying the middle rate of HKD to RMB announced by the Bank of China on 30 March 2021, which was HKD1.00 to RMB0.8444, as the applicable exchange rate for calculation of the Final Dividend. Subject to Shareholders’ approval at the Annual General Meeting, the Final Dividend payable for each Share shall be HKD0.09474 and the aggregate amount of which will be paid out of the Company’s share premium account. Total dividend payout ratio is 30.33% of the profit for the year attributable to the owners of the Company.

Reasons for and Effect of the Payment of Final Dividend out of Share Premium Account

The Board considers it appropriate to distribute the Final Dividend to reward the Shareholders for their continuing support. The payment of the Final Dividend out of share premium account of the Company does not involve any reduction in the authorised or issued share capital of the Company nor does it involve any reduction in the nominal value of the Shares or result in any change in the trading arrangements in respect of the Shares.

After taking into consideration of the existing cash flow of the Group, the Board considers that the Company has sufficient cash flow to pay the Final Dividend. The payment of the Final Dividend out of share premium account of the Company will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.

The Directors consider that the proposed declaration and payment of the Final Dividend out of share premium account of the Company is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with article 108 of the Articles of Association, the Directors being Mr. Zhou Yinbiao, Mr. Dai Xianru and Mr. Ben Daolin, shall retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. The abovementioned Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-appointment at the Annual General Meeting upon election.

Details of the above retiring Directors who are subject to re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Buy-back Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to purchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

• (i) the shares to be purchased by a company must be fully paid-up;

• (ii) the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules; and

• (iii) all on market purchase of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such purchase, and a copy of such resolution together with the necessary documentation have been delivered to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 500,000,000 Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to buy-back a maximum of 50,000,000 Shares which represent 10 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

3. REASONS AND FUNDING OF THE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to purchase its Shares. Such purchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a purchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 16 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

Purchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Companies Act provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a Share purchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the purchase or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act. The amount of premium over the par value of the Shares payable on purchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Shares are purchased in the manner provided for in the Cayman Companies Act.

The Directors have no present intention to purchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to purchase in circumstances where they consider that the purchase would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors consider that if the Buy-back Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a purchase of the Shares pursuant to the Buy-back 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, Mr. Wang Jiaan, the executive Director, together with the Company controlled by him, namely Ambon Holding Limited (“ Ambon ”), was interested in 215,249,438 Shares, representing approximately 43.05% of the issued share capital of the Company.

– 17 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Buy-back Mandate and assuming there will be no other change in the issued share capital of the Company, the interests of Mr. Wang Jiaan will be increased to approximately 47.83% of the issued share capital of the Company, and such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate. The Directors currently have no intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent that would give rise to such obligation under the Takeovers Code.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making purchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the purchase would be that less than 25 per cent (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital of the Company would be in public hands. The Directors do not have intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND THE COMPANY’S CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the proposed Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.

7. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchases of Shares have been made by the Company during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
