The Company has completed the Global Offering and the Listing of the H Shares, following which a total of 21,556,000 H Shares have been issued (taking into account the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option). Accordingly, the total share capital of the Company has increased to 113,919,380 shares and the registered capital has increased to RMB113,919,380. Meanwhile, to facilitate Company’s standardised operations and internal control management, as well as improving its corporate governance structure, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China (《中華人民共和國公司法》), the Securities Law of the People’s Republic of China (《中華人民共和國證券法》), the Guidelines on the Articles of Association of Listed Companies (《上市公司章程指引》), the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market Listing Rules (《上海證券交易所科創板股票上市規則》), the Shanghai Stock Exchange Self-Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 1 – Standardised Operations (《上海證券交易所上市公司自律監管指引第1號——規範運作》) and other relevant laws, regulations and normative documents, taking into account the actual conditions of the Company, the Company proposed to cancel the Supervisory Committee and abolish the Rules of Procedures of the Supervisory Committee (《監事會議事規則》) of the Company, and make certain amendments to the Articles of Association, the Rules of Procedure of the Shareholders’ General Meeting and the Rules of Procedures of the Board of Directors.

The full text of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association, which were prepared in the Chinese language, are set out in Appendix I to this circular. Save for the amendments set out therein and the corresponding adjustment of serial numbers of the clauses, the other provisions shall remain unchanged. In the event of any discrepancy between the English translation and the Chinese version of the proposed amendments, the Chinese version shall prevail.

Reference is made to the overseas regulatory announcements of the Company dated 19 August 2025 regarding the proposed amendments to, and the full text of the Work Rules of Independent Directors (《獨立董事工作制度》), the Rules for the Utilization and Management of Proceeds (《募集資金使用管理辦法》), the Rules for the Management of External Investments (《對外投資管理制度》), the Rules for the Management of External Guarantee (《對外擔保管理制度》), the Rules for the Management of Connected Transactions (《關聯交易管理制度》) and the Rules for the Management of Remuneration for Directors and Senior Management (《董事、高級管理人員薪酬管理制度》) (collectively, the "Governance Rules").

To facilitate the standardised operation of the Company, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Company Law of the People's Republic of China (《中華人民共和國公司法》), the Transitional Arrangements for the Implementation of the New Company Law's Ancillary Rules and Regulations (《關於新<公司法>配套制度規則實施相關過渡期安排》), the Guidelines on the Articles of Association of Listed Companies (《上市公司章程指引》), the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market Listing Rules (《上海證券交易所科創板股票上市規則》), the Shanghai Stock Exchange Self-Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No. 1 – Standardised Operations (《上海證券交易所上市公司自律監管指引第1號——規範運作》), the Articles of Association and other relevant laws, regulations and normative documents, taking into account the actual conditions of the Company, the Company proposed to amend the Governance Rules.

The abovementioned was considered and approved by the Board on 19 August 2025 and will be submitted, by way of an ordinary resolution, for the Shareholders' consideration and approval at the EGM.

(iii) Resolution on the proposed general mandate granted to the board to issue H shares

Pursuant to the Board's resolution considered and approved on 19 August 2025 and the applicable laws and regulations, a special resolution will be proposed at the EGM to grant to the Directors a general mandate to separately or concurrently issue, allot and/or deal with H Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury H Shares), including but not limited to options such as warrants, convertible bonds and other securities which carry rights to subscribe for or are convertible into H Shares, up to 20% of the total number of issued H Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution (excluding treasury H Shares, if any) (the "Issue Mandate"). For further details of the proposed Issue Mandate, please refer to Appendix III to this circular.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 21,556,000 H Shares and the Company did not hold any treasury H Shares. Therefore, subject to the granting of the Issue Mandate to be approved and assuming that no H Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased prior to the EGM, the Board will be entitled to issue a maximum of 4,311,200 H Shares.

Upon approval at the EGM, the Issue Mandate will remain in effect until the earlier of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the date on which the Issue Mandate set out in this resolution is revoked or varied by a special resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board shall comply with, among other things, the applicable Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and PRC laws and regulations when exercising powers pursuant to the Issue Mandate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors wish to state that there is no immediate plan to issue any new H Shares (including to sell or transfer any treasury H Shares out of treasury) pursuant to the Issue Mandate. Furthermore, pursuant to Rule 10.08 of the Listing Rules, the Company has undertaken to the Stock Exchange that it will not, among other things, issue any further Shares, or securities convertible into equity securities of the Company (whether or not of a class already listed) or enter into any agreement to such an issue, or sale or transfer of H Shares out of treasury (if any) within six months from the Listing Date (whether or not such issue of H Shares or securities will be completed within six months from the Listing Date), except as specified in the Prospectus or under any of the circumstances provided under Rule 10.08 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Issue Mandate, upon approval at the EGM, shall be exercised in compliance with, and without contravening the aforementioned provisions.

(iv) Resolution on the proposed implementation of foreign exchange hedging limit

Reference is made to the overseas regulatory announcement of the Company dated 19 August 2025 in relation to the proposed implementation of a foreign exchange hedging limit.

In order to mitigate exchange rate risks, reduce exchange losses and lower their impact on the Company's daily operations, the Company intends to use no more than RMB1.5 billion (or its equivalent in other foreign currencies) to implement the foreign exchange hedging limit, within 12 months from the date of approval of this resolution by the EGM. For further details of the proposed foreign exchange hedging business, please refer to Appendix IV to this circular.

The abovementioned resolution was considered and approved by the Board on 19 August 2025 and will be submitted, by way of a special resolution, for the Shareholders' consideration and approval at the EGM.
