PROPOSED ISSUE MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND PROPOSED EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE

In order to ensure greater flexibility for the Company to issue new Shares (including a sale or transfer of Treasury Shares out of treasury, if any), an ordinary resolution numbered 4(A) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant to the Directors the Proposed Issue Mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue or otherwise deal with new Shares (including a sale or transfer of Treasury Shares out of treasury, if any) not exceeding 20% of the number of the issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,188,076,343 Shares of nominal value of US$0.001 each. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution numbered 4(A) granting the Proposed Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to issue (or transfer out of treasury) a maximum of 437,615,268 Shares.

In addition, subject to a separate passing of the ordinary resolution numbered 4(C), the number of Shares bought back by the Company under the ordinary resolution numbered 4(B) granting the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, if approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, will be added to extend the 20% limit of the Proposed Issue Mandate as referred to in the ordinary resolution numbered 4(A).

has also taken into account the respective contributions of the Retiring Directors to the Board and their commitment to their roles. The Nomination Committee has also considered their diverse educational backgrounds, professional knowledge and experience as set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The Board, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, has proposed that the Retiring Directors stand for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting, and believes that the continuous appointment of the Retiring Directors contributes to the stability and diversity of the Board.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUY-BACK MANDATE

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this document, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this document.

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 2,188,076,343 Shares in issue, all of which were fully paid up.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting of the Proposed Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to buy back a maximum of 218,807,634 Shares, representing 10% of the number of issued Shares during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period with which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS AND FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

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

Buy-backs of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Cayman Companies Act. The Cayman Companies Act provides that the amount of capital payable on a share buy-back may be paid out of the profits of the Company, out of the share premium account, out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the buy-back or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act. The amount of premium payable on buy-back may only be paid out of either or both the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Shares are bought back, or out of capital subject to and in the manner provided for in the Cayman Companies Act.

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 Proposed Buy-back

  • 14 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUY-BACK MANDATE

Mandate to buy back Shares were to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing position of the Group, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2025, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the 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 Group or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

GENERAL

The Directors will exercise the Proposed Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, if the Proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, if the Proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

Subject to the compliance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws and regulations, the Company may cancel any shares it bought back and/or hold such shares as treasury shares for subsequent re-issue or sale subject to consideration of factors including market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the buy-backs.

For any Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings of the Company for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, withdraw the Treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as Treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions, or take any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as Treasury Shares.

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares, 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. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware

  • 15 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED BUY-BACK MANDATE

of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, each of Dr. Frank Zhang, Ms. Sally Wang, Dr. Larry Wang, Ms. Weihong Jin and Mr. Zhiyong Hu was deemed to be interested in 801,563,753 Shares, representing approximately 36.63% of the issued share capital of the Company, respectively. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, the shareholding of each of Dr. Frank Zhang, Ms. Sally Wang, Dr. Larry Wang, Ms. Weihong Jin and Mr. Zhiyong Hu in the Company will be increased to approximately 40.70% of the issued share capital of the Company, respectively. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Proposed Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Rule 10.06(2)(f) of the Listing Rules prohibits an issuer from purchasing its shares on the Stock Exchange if that purchase would result in the number of listed shares which are in the hands of the public falling below the applicable prescribed minimum threshold for that issuer. The Directors do not propose to buy back Shares which would result in the Company failing to maintain the applicable ongoing public float requirement under Rule 13.32B of the Listing Rules, which is currently 25% of the issued Shares.

The Company confirms that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share buy-back has any unusual features.

SHARE BUY BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

No buy-back of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) have been made by the Company during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

No notice need be given of a poll not taken immediately. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was required or demanded. In the event that a poll is demanded after the chairman of the meeting allows a show of hands pursuant to Article 72, the demand for a poll may be withdrawn, with the consent of the chairman of the meeting, at any time before the close of the meeting at which the poll was demanded or the taking of the poll, whichever is the earlier.

  1. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll (whether physically or by virtual attendance with the use of electronic facilities), the chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to a second or casting vote. In case of any dispute as to the admission or rejection of any vote, the chairman of the meeting shall determine the same, and such determination shall be final and conclusive.

  2. Subject to any special rights, privileges or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at any general meeting on a poll every Shareholder present in person (whether physically or by virtual attendance with the use of electronic facilities) (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy, shall have one vote for every Share of which he is the holder which is fully paid or credited as fully paid (but so that no amount paid or credited as paid on a Share in advance of calls or instalments shall be treated for the purposes of this Article as paid on the Share), and on a show of hands every Shareholder who is present in person (whether physically or by virtual attendance with the use of electronic facilities) (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy shall (save as provided otherwise in this Article) have one (1) vote. On a poll a Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all his votes in the same way. Notwithstanding anything contained in these Articles, where more than one proxy is appointed by a Shareholder which is a Clearing House (or its nominee(s)), each such proxy shall have one vote on a show of hands and on a poll, each such proxy is under no obligation to cast all his votes in the same way. For the avoidance of doubt, votes (whether on a show of hands or by way of poll) may be cast by such means, electronic or otherwise, as the Board or the chairman of the meeting may determine.

79A. All Shareholders of the Company (including a Shareholder which is a Clearing House (or its nominee(s)) shall have the right to (a) speak at a general meeting and (b) vote at a general meeting (whether physically or by virtual attendance with the use of electronic facilities), except where a Shareholder is required by the Listing Rules to abstain from voting to approve the matter under consideration. Where any Shareholder is, under the Listing Rules, required to abstain from voting on any particular resolution or restricted to voting only for or only against any particular resolution, any votes cast by or on behalf of such Shareholder in contravention of such requirement or restriction shall not be counted.

  1. Any Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company shall be entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A Shareholder who is the holder of two or more Shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at a class meeting. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company. On a poll or a show of hands votes may be given either personally (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy. A proxy shall

  2. 28 -


APPENDIX III DETAILS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES AND THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES

be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of a Shareholder who is an individual and for whom he acts as proxy as such Shareholder could exercise. In addition, a proxy shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of a Shareholder which is a corporation and for which he acts as proxy as such Shareholder could exercise as if it were an individual Shareholder present in person (whether physically or by virtual attendance with the use of electronic facilities) at any general meeting.

  1. The instrument appointing a proxy and, if requested by the Board, the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power or authority shall be deposited at such place or one of such places (if any) as is specified in the notice of meeting or in the instrument of proxy issued by the Company (or, if no place is specified, at the Registration Office) not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting (as the case may be) at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote, and in default the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 12 Months from the date of its execution, except at an adjourned meeting where the meeting was originally held within 12 Months from such date. Delivery of an instrument appointing a proxy shall not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting in person (whether physically or by virtual attendance with the use of electronic facilities) (or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, its duly authorised representative) at the meeting concerned and, in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

  2. (a) Any corporation which is a Shareholder may, by resolution of its directors or other governing body or by power of attorney, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholders of the Company, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder of the Company. References in these Articles to a Shareholder present in person (whether physically or by virtual attendance with the use of electronic facilities) at a meeting shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include a corporation which is a Shareholder represented at the meeting by such duly authorised representative.

(b) Where a Shareholder is a Clearing House (or its nominee(s)), it may (subject to Article 93) appoint proxies or authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative or representatives, who enjoy rights equivalent to the rights of other Shareholders, at any meeting of the Company (including but not limited to general meetings and creditors meetings) or at any meeting of any class of Shareholders provided that if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation shall specify the number and class of Shares in respect of which

  • 29 -

each such representative is so authorised. A person so authorised pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)) which he represents as that Clearing House (or its nominee(s)) could exercise as if such person were an individual Shareholder, including the right to speak and vote individually (whether physically or by virtual attendance with the use of electronic facilities) on a show of hands or on a poll.

  1. ...

(b) Except where otherwise expressly stated, any notice or document to be given to or by any person pursuant to these Articles (including any corporate communication and actionable corporate communication within the meaning ascribed thereto under the Listing Rules) may be given, or issued, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, either by serving it personally on the relevant person; or by sending it through the post in a prepaid envelope or wrapper addressed to such Shareholder at his registered address as appearing in the register; or by delivering or leaving it at that address addressed to the Shareholder or any address supplied by him to the Company for the purpose under Article 180(d); or (other than share certificate) by publishing it by way of advertisement in the Newspapers or other publication and where applicable, in accordance with the requirements of the HK Stock Exchange. In case of joint holders of a share, all notices shall be given to that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the register and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the Companies Act and the Listing Rules, any notice or document may be served or delivered by the Company to any person by electronic means by sending or transmitting it as an electronic communication to the relevant person at such electronic address as he may provide, subject to the Company complying with Cayman Islands law and any other applicable laws, rules and regulations with regard to any requirements for obtaining of consent from such person; or by publishing it on a website or by sending or otherwise making it available to such person through such other means to the extent permitted by the applicable Cayman Islands law, rules and regulations.

The Company is authorised to take all reasonably practicable steps to support electronic communication with securities holders, including but not limited to electronic voting, proxy instructions and distribution of corporate action proceeds, and to maintain compatibility with the uncertificated securities market regime. Any provisions in these Articles relating to the issuance, holding or transfer of securities (including shares) or concerning share certificates shall be interpreted to permit compliance with such electronic processes and systems, to the extent permitted by the laws of the Cayman Islands.
