LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 7 June 2023, a general mandate was given to the Board to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval of an ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to give a fresh general mandate to the Board to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued Shares at the date of the resolution (i.e. not exceeding 713,093,957 Shares based on the issued Shares of 7,130,939,579 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that such issued Shares remain the same at the date of passing the resolution). 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 last annual general meeting of the Company held on 7 June 2023, a general mandate was given to the Board to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with the Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. It will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting two ordinary resolutions respectively granting to the Board a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with the Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued Shares at the date of the resolution (i.e. not exceeding 1,426,187,915 Shares based on the issued Shares of 7,130,939,579 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 Board any 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 executive Directors are Mr. Li Xin, Mr. Zhang Dawei, Mr. Xie Ji, Mr. Guo Shiqing and Mr. Chen Wei; the non-executive Directors are Mr. Dou Jian, Ms. Cheng Hong and Mr. Huang Ting; and the independent non-executive Directors are Mr. Zhong Wei, Mr. Sun Zhe, Mr. Frank Chan Fan, Mr. Leong Kwok-kuen, Lincoln and Ms. Qin Hong.

Pursuant to article 99 of the Articles of Association of the Company, Mr. Chen Wei, Mr. Huang Ting, Mr. Frank Chan Fan, Mr. Leong Kwok-kuen, Lincoln and Ms. Qin Hong shall retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and shall be eligible and offer themselves for re-election.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

in-depth understanding of the Company’s operations and business, each of Mr. Zhong Wei and Mr. Sun Zhe has expressed objective views and given independent guidance to the Company over the years, and continues demonstrating a firm commitment to his role. The Board is satisfied that Mr. Zhong Wei and Mr. Sun Zhe have the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of independent non-executive Director, which is conducive to enhancing the diversity of the Board. The Board considers the re-election of Mr. Zhong Wei and Mr. Sun Zhe as independent non-executive Directors is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Directors’ attendance record at Board/committee meetings and the number of other public companies’ directorships held by the Directors are disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 2023 under the sections of ‘‘Corporate Governance Report’’ and ‘‘Biographical Details of Directors and Senior Management’’.

Details of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix II hereto.

PROPOSED PAYMENT OF FINAL DIVIDEND

The Board recommended a final dividend (‘‘2023 Final Dividend’’) of RMB1.243 per Share for the year ended 31 December 2023 (2022: RMB1.219 (equivalent to HK$1.394)) payable on Friday, 26 July 2024 to Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on Friday, 14 June 2024.

The 2023 Final Dividend will be payable in cash to each Shareholder in HK$ unless an election is made to receive the same in RMB. The final dividend is to be payable in cash in Hong Kong dollars which will be converted from RMB at the average CNY Central Parity Rate announced by the People’s Bank of China for the five business days prior to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting. Unless a permanent election on dividend currency had been made by Shareholders, Shareholders should complete the dividend currency election form which is expected to be dispatched to Shareholders in late June 2024 as soon as practicable after the record date of 14 June 2024 to determine Shareholders’ entitlement to the 2023 Final Dividend, and lodge it to branch share registrar of the Company, Tricor Standard Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on 9 July 2024.

Shareholders who are minded to elect to receive all or part of their dividends in RMB by cheques should note that (i) they should ensure that they have an appropriate bank account to which the RMB cheques for dividend can be presented for payment; and (ii) there is no assurance that RMB cheques can be cleared without material handling charges or delay in Hong Kong or that RMB cheques will be honored for payment upon presentation outside Hong Kong. The cheques are expected to be posted to the relevant Shareholders by ordinary post on 26 July 2024 at the Shareholders’ own risk.

If no duly completed dividend currency election form in respect of that Shareholder is received by the branch share registrar of the Company by 4:30 p.m. on 9 July 2024, such Shareholder will automatically receive the 2023 Final Dividend in HK$. All dividend payments in HK$ will be made in the usual way on 26 July 2024.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If Shareholders wish to receive the 2023 Final Dividend in HK$ in the usual way, no additional action is required.

Shareholders should seek professional advice with their own tax advisers regarding the possible tax implications of the dividend payment.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 25 March 2024, the Board proposed to amend the existing Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association (collectively, the ‘‘Memorandum and Articles of Association’’) to comply with certain amendments to the Listing Rules that listed issuers are required to publish corporate communications (as defined in the Listing Rules) by electronic means and to reflect certain adjustments to the Company’s internal corporate governance procedures.

The details of the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association are set out in Appendix III hereto. Prior to the passing of the special resolution at the Annual General Meeting, the existing Memorandum and Articles of Association shall remain valid.

The legal adviser to the Company as to Hong Kong laws has confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the legal adviser to the Company as to the laws of the Cayman Islands has confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association do not violate the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

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 proposal to permit the repurchase of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 7,130,939,579 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 713,093,957 Shares representing not more than 10% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its 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 its Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

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 law of the Cayman Islands. The law of the Cayman Islands provides 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 of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 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.

5. GENERAL

The Directors will exercise the powers of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Repurchase Resolution and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong. Neither this explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Proposal has any unusual features.

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, CRCL is interested in 4,246,618,418 Shares (representing approximately 59.55% of the total issued Shares). In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Proposal, then (if the present shareholdings remain the same) the attributable interests of CRCL would be increased to approximately 66.17% of the issued Shares and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal to such an extent as to result in the number 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 immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
