LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 June 2020, a general mandate was given to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase shares of the Company. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. The Repurchase Resolution will therefore be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to give a fresh general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares. An explanatory statement as required under the Share Repurchase Rules to provide the requisite information of the Repurchase Proposal is set out in Appendix I hereto.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 June 2020, a general mandate was given to the Directors to issue Shares. Such general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. Therefore, it will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting two ordinary resolutions respectively granting to the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued Shares at the date of the resolution (i.e. not exceeding 1,396,587,563 Shares based on the issued Shares of 6,982,937,817 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that such issued Shares remain the same at the date of passing the resolution) and adding to such general mandate so granted to the Directors any Shares representing the total number of the Shares repurchased by the Company after the granting of the general mandate to repurchase up to 10% of the issued Shares at the date of the Repurchase Resolution.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the non-executive Directors are Mr. LI Fuli (Chairman), Mr. ZHOU Longshan, Mr. CHEN Ying, Mr. WANG Yan, Madam WAN Suet Fei and Mr. JING Shiqing; the executive Director is Mr. JI Youhong (Chief Executive Officer); and the independent non-executive Directors are Mr. IP Shu Kwan Stephen, Mr. SHEK Lai Him Abraham, Madam ZENG Xuemin and Mr. LAM Chi Yuen Nelson.

Pursuant to Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, Mr. CHEN Ying, Mr. WANG Yan, Madam WAN Suet Fei and Mr. JING Shiqing shall retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and shall be eligible for re-election.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular is the notice convening the Annual General Meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders in respect of ordinary business to be considered at the Annual General Meeting, including re-election of Directors, the Repurchase Proposal, the general mandate for Directors to issue new Shares and the extension of the general mandate to issue new Shares.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you intend to attend the Annual General Meeting, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of a form of proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting if you so wish.

VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and Article 13.6 of the Articles of Association, all votes at the Annual General Meeting will be taken by poll and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal, the proposed general mandate for Directors to issue new Shares, the proposed extension of the general mandate to issue new Shares and the proposed re-election of retiring Directors are all in the best interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all Shareholders should vote in favour of such resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of

China Resources Cement Holdings Limited

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Proposal.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 6,982,937,817 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Proposal to repurchase a maximum of 698,293,781 Shares, representing not more than 10% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset and/or earnings per share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount to be repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid from the profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or out of capital, if the Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 in the event that the Repurchase Proposal was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Proposal to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Proposal if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

6. TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, 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. As a result, a shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, China Resources Company Limited, the ultimate holding company of the Company, is interested in 4,798,453,749 Shares (representing approximately 68.72% of the total issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Proposal, then (assuming the present shareholdings remains the same) the attributable interest of China Resources Company Limited would be increased from approximately 68.72% to approximately 76.35% of the issued Shares. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Proposal. The Company has no present intention to repurchase Shares to such extent as to result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

7. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
