REASONS FOR REPURCHASING H SHARES

Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at such time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share of the Company. Such repurchases will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

REGISTERED CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the Company was RMB587,830,940.5, comprising 450,000,000 H Shares with a nominal value of RMB0.25 each and 1,901,323,762 A Shares with a nominal value of RMB0.25 each.

The exercise of the General Mandate is subject to relevant approval(s) by and/or filings with SAFE and/or any other regulatory authorities as required by the laws, rules and regulations of the PRC to be obtained and/or conducted.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company shall not repurchase H Shares if the purchase price is higher by 5% or more than the average closing market price on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for 5 trading days preceding to the repurchase.

The exercise in full of the General Mandate (on the basis of 450,000,000 H Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no H Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the 2023 Third EGM and the 2023 Third Class Meetings) would result in a maximum of 45,000,000 H Shares that may be repurchased by the Company during the Relevant Period, being the maximum of 10% of the total H Shares in issue as at the date of passing the relevant resolution(s).

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

FUNDING OF H SHARES REPURCHASES

In repurchasing its H Shares, the Company intends to apply the Company’s self-owned funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

GENERAL

The Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company in the event that the General Mandate is to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the General Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, the working capital needs or the gearing position of the Company would be materially and adversely affected by the repurchase of Shares. The number of H Shares to be repurchased, the Share price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regarded to the market circumstances then prevailing, in the best interests of the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases under the General Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not repurchase any Shares (whether on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise).

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

If as a result of Share repurchase by the Company, a substantial Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company or become obligated to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) Mr. Ruan Hongliang beneficially held 439,358,400 A Shares and 485,000 H Shares; (ii) Ms. Jiang Jinhua beneficially held 324,081,600 A Shares and 111,000 H Shares; (iii) Ms. Ruan Zeyun beneficially held 350,532,000 A Shares and 1,316,000 H Shares; and (iv) Mr. Zhao Xiaofei beneficially held 4,800,000 A Shares, which in aggregate represented approximately 47.66% of the total share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase H Shares in accordance with the terms of the General Mandate proposed at the 2023 Third EGM and the 2023 Third Class Meetings, the total interests of Mr. Ruan Hongliang, Ms. Jiang Jinhua, Ms. Ruan Zeyun and Mr. Zhao Xiaofei (who are parties acting in concert pursuant to a concert party agreement dated 19 September 2016 entered into among them) in the total registered capital of the Company would increase to approximately 48.59%. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code and/or any similar applicable law as a result of any repurchases to be made under the General Mandate. Moreover, the Directors will not make Share repurchase on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange if such repurchase would result in the requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules not being complied with.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have a present intention to sell H Shares to the Company in the event that the General Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any H Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any H Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the General Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
