PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE 2022 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The health of our Shareholders, staff and stakeholders is of paramount importance to us. In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the 2022 Annual General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, staff and stakeholders from the risk of infection:

(i) Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every Shareholder, proxy or other attendee at each entrance of the meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius will be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.

(ii) Compulsory wearing of surgical face mask by all attendees throughout the 2022 Annual General Meeting and inside the meeting venue, and to maintain a safe distance between seats.

(iii) No refreshment will be served, and there will be no corporate gift.

To the extent permitted under the laws of Hong Kong, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the meeting venue or require any person to leave the meeting venue so as to ensure the health and safety of the attendees at the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

In addition, the Company reminds all Shareholders that attendance in person at the 2022 Annual General Meeting is not compulsory for the purpose of exercising voting rights. Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the 2022 Annual General Meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the 2022 Annual General Meeting instead of attending the 2022 Annual General Meeting in person, by completing and returning the proxy form attached to this circular. Alternatively, the form of proxy can be downloaded from the Company's website at www.everchina202.com.hk and the HKEXnews website at www.hkexnews.hk. If you are not a registered Shareholder (if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

Subject to the development of COVID-19, the Company may be required to change the 2022 Annual General Meeting arrangements at short notice. Shareholders should check the Company's website for further announcements and updates on the 2022 Annual General Meeting arrangements.

NOTICE OF 2022 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the articles of association of the Company (the "Articles"), at each of the annual general meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation, provided that every Director, including those appointed for a specific term, shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. Accordingly, Mr. Chen Yi, Ethan ("Mr. Chen") and Mr. Ko Ming Tung, Edward ("Mr. Ko") shall retire by rotation from office and being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

Mr. Ko was appointed on 2 April 2009 and has served the Company as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years as at the Latest Practicable Date. Pursuant to code provisions B.2.3 of Appendix 14 Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report of the Listing Rules, any further appointment of independent non-executive director serving more than nine years should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by Shareholders.

Notwithstanding that Mr. Ko has served as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years, (i) the Board has assessed and reviewed the annual confirmation of independence based on the criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and affirmed that Mr. Ko remains independent; (ii) the nomination committee of the Company (excluding Mr. Ko who has abstained from voting) has assessed the independence of Mr. Ko, is of the view that he would continue to bring in fresh perspectives, objective insights and independent judgment to the Board as well as the Board committees he currently serves on. The Nomination Committee is of the opinion that during his years of appointment, Mr. Ko continues to demonstrate the attributes of independent non-executive directors and there is no evidence that his tenure of over nine years has compromised or would compromise on his continued independence; and (iii) the Board considers that Mr. Ko remains independent of management of the Group and free of any relationship which could materially interfere with the exercise of his independent judgement. In view of the factors above and the fact that his valuable knowledge and experience in the businesses of the Group and his general business acumen continues to generate significant contribution to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and thus recommends Mr. Ko for re-election at the AGM.

To enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on the re-election of these retiring Directors, the biographical details of the retiring Directors, as required under Chapter 13 of the Listing Rules, are set out in Appendix I to this circular for the information of the Shareholders.

If a valid notice from a Shareholder to propose a person to stand for election as a Director at the 2022 Annual General Meeting is received in accordance with the Companies Ordinance after the printing of this circular, the Company will issue a supplementary circular to inform Shareholders of the details of such additional candidate(s) proposed.

With reference to the Proposed Issue Mandate and the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue or to buy-back any Shares pursuant thereto.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed view on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the 2022 Annual General Meeting in relation to the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.

(1) SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 7,294,369,363 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Proposed Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or bought back before the 2022 Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to buy-back a maximum of 729,436,936 Shares during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

(2) SOURCE OF FUNDS

Buy-backs must be funded out of fund legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles and the laws of Hong Kong, the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated.

(3) REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS

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

The Directors have no present intention to buy-back any Shares and they would only exercise the power to buy-back in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the general mandate to buy-back Shares were to be exercised in full at the prevailing market value, it would have a material adverse impact on the working capital position and gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts of the Company for year ended 31 March 2022, being the date to which the latest published accounts of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the general mandate to buy-back Shares 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 of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

APPENDIX II

(5) GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the Proposed Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

---

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Code), depending on the level of increase of 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 Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Jiang, an executive Director and the chairman of the Company, and his parties acting in concert (as defined in the Code) were interested in 1,742,300,000 Shares, representing approximately 23.89% of the total number of issued Shares. In the event that the Directors shall exercise the Proposed Buy-back Mandate in full and assuming that there is no change in the issued Shares from the date of passing of relevant resolution granting the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, the percentage shareholding of Mr. Jiang and his parties acting in concert would be increased to approximately 26.54% of the total number of issued Shares. Accordingly, such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise in full the power to buy-back Shares proposed to be granted pursuant to the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the result of the buy-back would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued Shares would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to buy-back Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of issued Shares in public hands.

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