LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. 2020 Financial Budget Report of the Group

(1) The main situation faced by the Group in 2020

First, in 2020, the macro economy is under greater downward pressure, and the non-performing assets of urban commercial banks are on the rise. Second, interest rates become more market-oriented, and interest rate spreads narrow. Revenue may reach a turning point in 2020, presenting a situation of “business growth without revenue increase”. Third, in a normalized environment with strict regulation, the financial industry focuses more on prudent operation. Fourth, the Group is also faced with positive factors both internally and externally: three aspects remain unchanged, i.e. the long-term positive trend of China’s economic development, the high attention of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to Jiangxi Bank and the support from substantial Shareholders, as well as the hard working spirit of cadres and employees of Jiangxi Bank; three aspects are enhanced, i.e. China’s supportive policies for small and medium-sized banks, the benefits brought by the high-quality leapfrog development of Jiangxi, and the brand effect of the Bank’s successful listing.

(2) The Group’s overall objective and business strategy in 2020

The overall business objective in 2020 is “two improvements and five enhancements”. In order to achieve the overall business objectives, the Bank adheres to the strategy of “speed down and quality up” to maintain a stable and moderate growth of asset scale at a slower rate; the Bank will strengthen credit risk management on and off balance sheets, maintain strict supervision over asset quality to keep non-performing risks under control, and continuously strengthen efforts to recover and write off nonperforming assets; net profit for the year is targeted to remain the same as the actual level of the previous year.

(3) The Group’s plan for main business indicators in 2020

In 2020, the Group’s main business indicators are planned as follows: (i) total assets of RMB489.6 billion, an increase of RMB33.5 billion or 7.34%; (ii) daily average balance of deposits of RMB291.6 billion, an increase of RMB21 billion or 7.76%; (iii) loan balance of RMB230 billion, an increase of RMB20 billion or 9.52%; (iv) net profit of RMB2.154 billion, keeping the same as the actual level in 2019; non-performing loans written off during the year of no more than RMB3 billion; (v) non-performing loan ratio of no more than 2.50%; (vi) capital adequacy ratio of more than 10.5%; (vii) provision coverage ratio of no less than 150%.

This proposal was considered and passed at the meeting of the Board held on March 27, 2020, which is currently proposed to the AGM by way of ordinary resolution for Shareholders’ consideration and approval.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. 2019 Profit Distribution Plan

The Bank (the parent company)’s audited net profit in 2019 was RMB1.906 billion. In order to further lay a solid foundation and improve our risk resistance capacity, the Board proposed the following profit distribution plan according to the relevant requirements provided in the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises and the Financial Rules for Financial Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, together with the requirements in regulatory and capital market aspects, and taking into accounts the return criteria of Shareholders.

  • (1) For statutory profit distribution items, the distribution plan with respect to the Bank’s net profits of RMB1.906 billion realized in 2019 was proposed as following according to the financial and regulatory policies mentioned above, and with reference to dividends paid to shareholders by peers: (i) the statutory surplus reserve fund will be appropriated as to 10% of the net profit in this year, amounting to RMB190.6 million; (ii) the general risk reserve will be appropriated as to 1.5% of the balance of assets as at the end of 2019 which were exposed to risks and losses, amounting to RMB292 million;

  • (2) The profits proposed to be distributed to Shareholders will be appropriated as to 5% of the share capital of the Bank. Given the rising ratio of distressed assets and the decreasing profit indexes in 2019, the Bank, as an H-share listed bank, proposed to moderately reduce the dividend distribution proportion over that of last year as allowed by the regulatory requirements and dividend distribution policy, to maintain the confidence of Shareholders and a stable market capitalization, and safeguard the image and reputation of the Bank in the capital market. Based on this proposal, a dividend of RMB301.2 million is intended to be distributed at an amount of RMB0.05 (including tax) per Share. The amount of proposed dividend accounts for 15.80% of the net profit for this year, representing a decrease of 2.38 percent points from the corresponding percentage of 18.18% in last year. The effect of dividend distribution to Shareholders on capital adequacy: after dividend distribution of RMB301.2 million in cash, the CAR of the Bank will decrease by 0.09 percent point as compared with that as at the end of 2019, representing a minimal effect on the CAR of the Bank.

  • (3) The balance of net profit for this year after the distribution of the above three items will be reserved as “undistributed profits”.

The Bank will distribute to the Shareholders whose names appear in the register of members of the Bank on June 9, 2020 (Tuesday) a final dividend in cash for the year ended December 31, 2019 in an aggregate amount of approximately RMB301 million, representing a dividend of RMB0.05 per Share (including tax). The final dividend of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2019 will be denominated and declared in RMB. Distribution of the dividends to Domestic Shareholders will be paid in RMB, while dividends to H Shareholders will be paid in equivalent Hong Kong dollars. For the purpose of conversion, RMB will be converted into Hong Kong dollars based on the average middle exchange rate as announced by the People’s Bank of China in five business days before May 29, 2020 (Friday) (inclusive), i.e. the date of the Bank’s AGM. It is expected the dividend will be paid on July 28, 2020 (Tuesday).

4. Equity Investment and Capital Expenditure Plan for the Year 2020

7. Appointment of Auditor for 2020

In 2016, the Bank appointed KPMG Huazhen (SGP) as the Bank’s domestic auditor through tender invitation and re-appointed it in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. The Bank appointed KPMG Certified Public Accountant as the international auditor since the Bank started preparing IPO of Hong Kong stocks in 2017, and re-appointed it in 2018 and 2019. KPMG Huazhen (SGP) and KPMG Certified Public Accountants have rich experience and professionalism in auditing for listed companies. In order to maintain the continuity and stability of the auditing work for the Bank’s financial statements, the Bank plans to re-appoint KPMG Huazhen (SGP) and KPMG Certified Public Accountants as domestic and international auditors for 2020 respectively, until the conclusion of the 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Bank, and that the Board be authorized to fix their remuneration.

In order to implement the central and local major decisions and arrangements, implement the latest regulatory requirements, enhance the ability to prevent and defuse risks, and help Jiangxi achieve high-quality economic development, the Bank has made adjustments to the original strategic plan for 2017-2021, and formulated the Report on the Interim Adjustment of the 2017-2021 Strategic Planning of Jiangxi Bank to guide the Bank’s work from 2020 to 2021.

Chapter 1 Internal and External Environment Analysis

I. MACRO-ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

2020 and 2021 are respectively the closing year of the 13th five-year plan and the opening year of the 14th five-year plan. It is a crucial period for the realization of the two centenary goals. In recent years, China’s economy is shifting from high-speed growth to high-quality development. In the coming period, the macro policy environment will take on the following characteristics:

First , downward pressure on the economy remains considerable. Although the basic trend of China’s steady and long-term economic growth remains unchanged, structural, institutional and cyclical problems are interwoven as China is in the crucial period of transforming the growth model, optimizing the economic structure and shifting growth drivers. At the same time, as the world economy continues to slow down and is still in a period of deep adjustment after the international financial crisis, the accelerated evolution of the global situation becomes more obvious, and the sources and risks of global turbulence have increased significantly.

Second , external sudden risks bring challenges. In late 2019, a sudden outbreak of novel coronary pneumonia first broke out in Wuhan, Hubei Province, then swept across the country and quickly spread around the world. The outbreak is likely to have a negative impact on China’s economy in the first half of 2020. However, under the premise of strictly implementing the policy of “preventing spreading domestically and preventing imported cases from overseas”, the domestic epidemic is expected to fade out.

Third , “stability” is emphasized in macro policy. China will improve and strengthen the measures for ensuring stability and improve the mechanism for coordinating and transmitting fiscal, monetary and employment policies. Fiscal and monetary policies will form a synergy with policies on consumption, investment, employment, industry and regions, and guide funds

APPENDIX VIII

to be invested in such areas as advanced manufacturing, improving people’s livelihood, and infrastructure weaknesses that benefit both supply and demand and have a multiplier effect, so as to play the basic role of consumption and the key role of investment.

Fourth , counter-cyclical adjustment tools are more flexible. China will continue to implement a proactive fiscal policy and a stable monetary policy under the policy framework of ensuring that macro policies are stable, micro policies are flexible and social policies are supportive. The proactive fiscal policy will improve the quality and efficiency, focus more on structural adjustment, and provide support for key areas. The stable monetary policy will adopt flexible and appropriate design, help to keep liquidity reasonably ample, and ensure that the growth of money, credit and social financing is consistent with economic development.

Fifth , great efforts are made to promote high-quality development. We shall, taking supply-side structural reform as the main task, and innovation as the driving force and reform and opening up as two wheels, achieve precise poverty relief, prevent and control pollution, and guard against and defuse major risks, strike a balance between ensuring steady growth and preventing risks, comprehensively improve the overall competitiveness of the economy, and accelerate the development of a modern economic system.

II. REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

In recent years, regulatory requirements and norms on risk compliance, corporate governance, financial inclusion and fintech have been further enhanced.

First , strengthen the “strict supervision” orientation. In late 2019, the CBIRC issued the Guidelines on Promoting High-quality Development of the Banking and Insurance Industries, reiterating the principle of “adhering to and strengthening supervision”. At the beginning of 2020, the annual work conference of the People’s Bank of China also stressed that it would accelerate the improvement of the macro-prudential management framework and expand the coverage of policies.

Second , strengthen the supervision of corporate governance. On November 29, 2019, the CBIRC issued the Measures for the Assessment of Corporate Governance Supervision of Banking and Insurance Institutions (Trial), with an aim to strengthen the supervision and evaluation on the corporate governance of banking and insurance institutions from the aspects of party leadership, shareholder governance, board governance, board of supervisors and senior management governance, risk internal control, related transaction governance, market constraint and other stakeholder governance. The assessment is divided into five grades: A, B, C, D and E. Different regulatory measures will be taken on the banking and financial institutions based on the assessment results. Institutions with lower ratings will be subject to severe measures, such as suspension of some operations, disapproval of the establishment of new businesses, disapproval of the establishment of new branches, and punishment on the relevant institutions and responsible persons.

REPORT ON THE INTERIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE 2017-2021 STRATEGIC PLANNING

APPENDIX VIII

Third , strengthen financial inclusion. In December 2019, the CBIRC held a briefing on key work, saying that it would continue to promote the “volume increment, coverage expansion and cost reduction” of financial services for small and micro businesses. In terms of volume increment and coverage expansion, on the basis of the balance of RMB11.32 trillion, the state will strive to increase the loan of inclusive small and micro enterprises by RMB2 trillion in 2020, at a growth rate higher than the average growth rate of all loans, and further expand the credit service coverage of small and micro enterprises. In terms of cost reduction, the state will strive to reduce the comprehensive financing cost of small and micro enterprises by another 0.5%.

Fourth , promote and standardize fintech innovation. In August 2019, the People’s Bank of China issued the Fintech Development Plan (2019-2021), which proposed to “intensify the innovation of fintech products and services”, while stressing to “strengthen the standardized management of fintech innovative products”. In December 2019, Xicheng District of Beijing was approved to take the lead in piloting the “regulatory sandbox” model in China, with an aim to standardize and promote product innovation of financial institutions.

Fifth , support small and medium-sized banks to replenish capital. Since the fourth quarter of 2019, the Financial Stability and Development Committee under the State Council has held several meetings in succession, stressing that “we will focus on supporting small and medium-sized banks to replenish their capital”. The People’s Bank of China and the CBIRC have also repeatedly encouraged small and medium-sized banks to innovate capital replenishment tools and replenish capital through multiple channels. Since November 2019 alone, many urban commercial banks have been approved to issue perpetual bonds or preferred shares. The capital replenishment of small and medium-sized banks has accelerated significantly.

III. REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

Jiangxi province is the cradle of the red revolution, a green homeland, a city with a long history, a treasure mine of resources, and a major traffic-carrying region. During his visit to Jiangxi in May 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed that Jiangxi should “strive to set an example in accelerating the high-quality development of the old revolutionary base areas and take the lead in promoting the rise of the Central China”. In recent years, Jiangxi’s economic development presents the following characteristics:

First , economic growth continued to be among the highest in the country. According to the unified calculation of the National Bureau of Statistics, the GDP of Jiangxi province in 2019 was RMB2,475.75 billion, an increase of 8.0% over the previous year in terms of comparable prices, 1.9% higher than the national average, ranking the fourth in China and the first in Central China. In 2019, Jiangxi achieved four breakthroughs, including per capita GDP growth, three industrial structure optimizations, fiscal revenue growth, and high-speed rail mileage growth. However, in terms of economic aggregate, Jiangxi’s ranking is still relatively low in Central China, it still needs to further accelerate the development.

REPORT ON THE INTERIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE 2017-2021 STRATEGIC PLANNING

APPENDIX VIII

Second , infrastructure construction is accelerating. In the process of industrial migration from East China to Central China, Jiangxi province did not form an industrial chain with its own comparative advantages due to its weak industrial foundation and weak regional advantages. However, with the completion and operation of the Chang-Gan high-speed railway at the end of 2019, the release of “five vertical and four horizontal” high-speed railway network and the “10 vertical, 10 horizontal and 21 interconnected” expressway network planning in Jiangxi province, and the accelerated construction of the general airport, Jiangxi’s transportation convenience has been continuously improved.

Third , the deployment of modern industries is improving day by day. By promoting the multiplication of new industries, developing aviation, electronic information, equipment manufacturing, traditional Chinese medicine, new energy, new materials and other competitive industrial clusters, accelerating the upgrade of traditional industries, and implementing the Action plan for leapfrog and high quality development of “2+6+N” industries, there will be two trillion industries of non-ferrous metals and electronic information, six 500 billion industries of equipment manufacturing, petrochemical, building materials, textile, food and automobile, and several hundred billion industries.

Fourth , great efforts have been made to vigorously develop characteristic industries such as green agriculture and new ceramics. Jiangxi is one of the first batch of ecological civilization pilot provinces and the only “green organic agricultural products demonstration base pilot province”, with a total of 5,009 agricultural products certified as “pollution-free agricultural products, green food, organic agricultural products and agricultural products with geographical indications”. Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital with the history of more than 1,000 years, enjoys unique brand advantages. The establishment of the national ceramic culture inheritance and innovation pilot zone will bring greater opportunities for the transformation and upgrading of the ceramic industry. Artistic ceramics, high-tech ceramics, ceramics for daily use will become the focus of development.

Fifth , the service industry represented by tourism is developing rapidly. The proportion of the service sector in GDP in Jiangxi province has increased rapidly in recent years, reaching 45% in 2019, up 0.2% from the previous year, and its growth rate was 0.1% higher than that of GDP. Among them, tourism is an important driving force for Jiangxi to continuously improve the added value of services. In recent years, the tourism industry in Jiangxi province has shown a trend of rapid cluster development, creating a tourism industry with distinctive characteristics of “red, green and ancient”.

Sixth , new prospects have emerged in regional development. At present, Jiangxi is taking the initiative to join in the strategy of constructing “One Belt And One Road”, the development of the Yangtze River economic belt and the rise of the central China. It will fully implement the regional development strategy of “one circle leading, two axes driving, and three regions coordinating”, accelerate the construction of the Nanchang metropolitan area, build the Shanghai-Kunming and Beijing-Kowloon high-speed rail economic belt, and deepen the revitalization and development of the former central Soviet region in southern Jiangxi, expand

– 70 –

REPORT ON THE INTERIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE 2017-2021 STRATEGIC PLANNING

APPENDIX VIII

the opening-up of the northeastern Jiangxi, and transform and upgrade the western Jiangxi. At the same time, it will speed up the building of the regional innovation system with “One corridor, two areas, five cities and multiple points”, focus on promoting the construction of the Poyang Lake National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone, science and innovation corridor on both sides of Ganjiang river, five science and technology innovation cities (Nanchang aviation science and technology innovation city, Ganzhou rare earth metals science and technology innovation city, China (Nanchang) traditional Chinese medicine science and technology innovation city, Shangrao big data science and technology innovation city, Yingtan wisdom science and technology innovation city), college study with platform and six provincial innovative counties (cities, areas), and create Jinggangshan national agricultural high-tech industrial demonstration zone. A new pattern of dynamic and competitive regional development is taking shape.

Seventh , county and rural finance has become an area of high potential. In recent years, the growth rate of savings in county areas of Jiangxi province has been faster than that in cities, behind which is the huge rural population base of Jiangxi province. In addition, rural residents’ per capita disposable growth is also ahead of urban residents. With the deepening of the rural revitalization measures, rural residents’ consumption capacity is gradually enhanced, and various financial needs will be gradually released.

IV. Horizontal Benchmarking Analysis

At present, the banking industry’s overall dividend has ended, and it is at an important transition point. The challenges faced by banking institutions are increasing and the development direction and competitive strategies must be adjusted accordingly. Through the analysis of the development trajectory of benchmarking banks in recent years, the following important experiences for Jiangxi Bank to learn from can be found:

First , constantly strengthen the party’s leadership. Party building has become the top priority for the development of banks. The leadership of the party should be integrated with the corporate governance of state-owned commercial banks to promote the formation of a good modern corporate governance system. We shall strengthen party conduct and integrity, implement the requirements for comprehensively and strictly governing the party, strengthen the oversight of party committees over key positions and important personnel, and enhance the fine style of work and responsibility of officials and employees.

Second , place greater importance on compliance with the law, prudent operation, and prevention and resolution of financial risks. We shall foster a stronger awareness of risks and compliance, focus on preventing and defusing risks in key areas, and improve the financial security line and the risk emergency response mechanism. We shall make good use of scientific and technological means, and ensure early identification, early warning and early processing of risks.

– 71 –

REPORT ON THE INTERIM ADJUSTMENT OF THE 2017-2021 STRATEGIC PLANNING

APPENDIX VIII

Third , take the characteristic and differentiated development road. Benchmarking banks have put the concept of distinctive and differentiated development into practice. They adapted their measures to local conditions, gave full play to their comparative advantages, focusing on customer value and customer experience, and got rid of homogeneous competition by creating a characteristic and differentiated product and service system.

Fourth , remain committed to fintech by making constant investment. Technological leadership does not happen overnight. The achievements of benchmarking banks in science and technology cannot be made without long-term and sustained investment. Some benchmarking banks spent 1.5% of revenues on financial technology, and the share of technology staff continued to grow rapidly.

Fifth , introduce inclusive and open innovation mechanisms and a culture of trial and error. Benchmarking Banks are usually committed to creating a strong innovation atmosphere in the whole bank, encouraging innovative ideas of front-line employees, so that everyone has the opportunity to become a product officer. In addition, the application process and mechanism for innovation projects are simplified to allow quick trial and error.

Sixth , focus on promoting bank development by talents. In the annual recruitment requirements, benchmarking bank will recruit special talents separately, such as talents related to fintech and big data. Meanwhile, benchmarking banks also pay attention to external cooperation. They carry out talent training, project research and development, and jointly establish innovation practice base with universities and research institutes.

V. STRENGTHS OF JIANGXI BANK

First , it is well-known in the province. As the first provincial-level corporate bank and “Jiangxi’s own bank”, as well as a listed bank in Hong Kong, Jiangxi Bank is well-known and influential in Jiangxi province, and has become an important force in the “financial Jiangxi army”.

Second , it has close relationship with the government. As a provincial-level corporate bank, Jiangxi Bank is resolute in implementing the major decisions and arrangements of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, constantly deepens and expands the contact with the provincial, municipal and county governments at all levels, and has certain advantages in the business development of government organs, enterprises and public institutions.

Third , it has the full support of shareholders. Jiangxi Bank has a sound shareholding structure. Most of the major shareholders are state-owned enterprises, and there is no such phenomenon that “one shareholder is dominant”. Major shareholders can take the overall situation into account and give a good understanding and support to Jiangxi Bank’s management and reform and development.

APPENDIX VIII

Fourth , it has a local customer base. Jiangxi Bank is rooted in Jiangxi and has developed this market for many years. It has completed the full coverage of county-level areas in Jiangxi province, with extensive outlets and a wide range of customers.

Fifth , it has obvious organization advantage. Compared with the large and medium-sized state-owned banks, the organizational structure of the head office departments and branches of Jiangxi Bank is relatively flat, with short decision-making chain and reporting path. In addition, with strong cohesion and executive force of employees and officers, the Bank has the organizational advantage of concentrating power to do big things.

Sixth , initial success has been achieved in brand building. In recent years, Jiangxi Bank’s financial products and services, represented by “Shouji Miao Dai”, “Micro Enterprise Loan”, “Handheld Micro-loan”, “Cloud Enterprise Chain” and “Yinyitong”, have laid a good foundation for customer acquisition in retail finance, inclusive finance, transaction banking and smart finance.

Chapter 2 General Strategy of Jiangxi Bank

From 2020 to 2021, the overall development path of Jiangxi Bank is: Focusing on one main line and five key tasks on the basis of adhering to strategic positioning, core values and promotion slogan.

One main line: Focusing on rectification, strengthening foundation, starting again.

Five key tasks: implementing rectification, strengthening party building, preventing risks, serving entities, and deepening reform.

I. STRATEGIC POSITIONING

Starting again : We will work hard in 2 years to defuse risks, lay a solid foundation and make up for shortcomings, in order to accumulate strength and potential energy for Jiangxi Bank to strengthen the capital strength, refresh the brand image, and march into the new era of “more standardized management, more powerful risk control, more robust development”. V. FIVE KEY TASKS: IMPLEMENTING RECTIFICATION, STRENGTHENING PARTY BUILDING, PREVENTING RISKS, SERVING ENTITIES, AND DEEPENING REFORM

1. Implementing rectification
