2. PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF SUPERVISOR

The Board proposes to appoint Mr. Lin Yuan Wen (“Mr. Lin”) as a Supervisor for a term of three years, with immediate effect from passing of the ordinary resolution approving the appointment thereof at the AGM.

Mr. Du Xuan (“Mr. Du”) plans to retire as Supervisor upon expiry of his term of appointment. Since Mr. Du has been too busy for his own affairs, he will retire upon passing of the appointment of a new Supervisor at the AGM. Mr. Du has confirmed that he has no disagreement with the Board and there is no matter relating to his resignation that needs to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company. The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its sincere gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Du for his valuable contributions to the Company during his tenure of office. The Company will make a further announcement upon the retirement of Mr. Du.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to appoint Mr. Lin as a Supervisor.

Mr. Lin Yuan Wen

Mr. Lin Yuan Wen, aged 42, graduated from Zhongnan University of Finance and Economics, bachelor’s degree in International Economics and Trade, master’s degree in finance, respectively. Since 2000, he has served as from manager to then the President of Shenzhen Central Branch of Agricultural Bank of China. From 2016, he worked as the general manager of Shenzhen Qianhai Juntai Investment Co., Ltd.(深圳前海均泰投 資有限公司)and currently also worked as the managing president of Shenzhen Oriental Ginza Financial Holding Co., Ltd.(深圳市東銀金融控股有限公司).

The Company proposes to appoint Mr. Lin as a Supervisor for a term of three years, with effect from the date of AGM. Upon approval by Shareholders at the AGM, his emoluments will be determined by the Board with reference to his responsibilities and performance of duties to the Company.

Mr. Lin did not hold any directorship in other listed public companies in the last three years.

Save as disclosed above, Mr. Lin does not have any relationship with the Directors, supervisors, senior management or substantial or controlling Shareholders of the Company. Mr. Lin does not have, and is not deemed to have, any interests or short positions in any shares, underlying shares or debentures of the Company and its associated corporations within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO.

3. SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE OF AGM

Both of the Supplemental Notice of AGM and the

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Second Form of Proxy are also published on the respective websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (http://www.cnlaunch.com/cn/) and contain the resolutions for the proposed appointment of Supervisor.

4. SECOND FORM OF PROXY

Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the enclosed Second Form of Proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the H share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shop 1712-1716, 17/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong (for the holders of the H Shares only) or the Company’s principal place of business at 10/F R&D Block, Launch Industrial Park, No. 4012 North of Wuhe Road, Bantian Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen, the PRC (for the holders of the Domestic Shares only) as soon as practicable and in any event not less than 24 hours before the respective time fixed for holding the AGM or at any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the Second Form of Proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) should you so wish. In such event, the First Form of Proxy shall be deemed revoked.

A Shareholder who has not yet lodged the First Form of Proxy with the share registrars of the Company is requested to lodge the Second Form of Proxy if he/she wishes to appoint proxy(ies) to attend the AGM on his/her behalf. In this case, the First Form of Proxy should not be lodged with the share registrars of the Company.

A Shareholder who has already lodged the First Form of Proxy with the share registrars of the Company should note that:

  • (a) If no Second Form of Proxy is lodged with the share registrar of the Company, the First Form of Proxy will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by him/her if correctly completed. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder will be entitled to vote at his/her discretion or to abstain from voting on any resolution(s) properly put to the AGM other than those referred to in the Notice of AGM and the First Form of Proxy, including the resolution set out in the Supplemental Notice of AGM and the Second Form of Proxy.

  • (b) If the Second Form of Proxy is lodged with the share registrars of the Company before the Closing Time, the Second Form of Proxy will revoke and supersede the First Form of Proxy previously lodged by him/her. The Second Form of Proxy will be treated as a valid proxy form lodged by the Shareholder if correctly completed.

  • (c) If the Second Form of Proxy is lodged with the share registrars of the Company after the Closing Time, the Second Form of Proxy will be invalid. However, it will revoke the First Form of Proxy previously lodged by the Shareholder, and any vote that may be cast by the purported proxy (whether appointed under the First Form of Proxy or the Second Form of Proxy) will not be counted in any poll which will be taken on a proposed resolution. Accordingly, Shareholders are advised not to lodge the Second Form of Proxy after the Closing Time. If such Shareholders wish to vote at the AGM, they will have to attend in person and vote at the AGM themselves.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders are reminded that completion and delivery of the First Form of Proxy and/or the Second Form of Proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should they so wish. In such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed revoked.

5. VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at general meetings must be taken by poll. The Chairman of the meeting will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to vote at the AGM in accordance with the Articles and the Listing Rules. An announcement on the poll result will be made by the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules.

6. RECOMMENDATION

The Board is of the view that the proposed appointment of Supervisor is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution in respect thereof to be proposed at the AGM.

7. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This supplemental circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this supplemental circular and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief:

  • (a) the information contained in this supplemental circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading;
