UPDATE ON THE PROPOSED DECLARATION OF A FINAL DIVIDEND
Reference is made to (i) the annual results announcement of the Company dated 24 March 2021 (the “ 2020 Annual Results Announcement ”); (ii) the annual report of the Company published on 20 April 2021 (the “ 2020 Annual Report ”); (iii) the First Circular; (iv) the Original Notice; (v) the Subscription Announcement; and (vi) the Completion Announcement.
As stated in the 2020 Annual Results Announcement and the 2020 Annual Report, the Board recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK$0.0928 (equivalent to RMB0.0825 based on the average exchange rate of 2020) per Share for the year ended 31 December 2020 out of the Company’s share premium account, which is subject to the approval of Shareholders at the AGM. The final dividend, if approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, will be paid on or before Wednesday, 30 June 2021 to Shareholders whose name appear on the register of members of the Company as at the close of business on Friday, 11 June 2021.
As stated in the Completion Announcement, the Company issued and alloted a total of 257,900,000 new Shares to Bilibili, Wide Fortune Enterprises Limited and Century Network (Hongkong) Limited (collectively, the “ Subscribers ”) on 10 May 2021, resulting in an enlarged issued share capital of 2,768,050,000 Shares. As a result of the increased number of issued Shares, the aggregated amount of dividends proposed to be distributed by the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 is expected to be approximately HK$256.9 million, based on 2,768,050,000 Shares, being the total number of issued Shares as at the date of this circular.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND SECOND PROXY FORM
Since the Original Notice and the form of proxy (the “ First Proxy Form ”) sent together with the First Circular do not contain the proposed resolution in relation to the re-election of Mr. Zhang as a non-executive Director as set out in this supplemental circular, a supplemental notice of the AGM, as set out on page 7 of this supplemental circular and the Second Proxy Form are enclosed with this supplemental circular to include such proposed resolution.

Completion and return of the Second Proxy Form will not preclude you from subsequently attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjourned meeting, should you so wish.
A Shareholder who has not yet lodged the First Proxy Form with the Share Registrar is requested to lodge the Second Proxy Form if he/she wishes to appoint proxy(ies) to attend the AGM on his/her behalf. In this case, the First Proxy Form should not be lodged with the Share Registrar.
A Shareholder who has already lodged the First Proxy Form with the Share Registrar should note that:
