LETTER FROM THE BOARD

I. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information in relation to the following resolutions to be proposed at the EGM:

To consider and approve the H Share Award and Trust Scheme;
To consider and approve proposed authorization to the Board and/or the Delegate(s) to handle matters pertaining to the H Share Award and Trust Scheme.

Resolutions 1 to 2 above shall be submitted as special resolutions to the EGM for Shareholders’ consideration.

II. H SHARE AWARD AND TRUST SCHEME

To attract and motivate extensively skilled and experienced qualified employees such as core backbones, Directors, senior management and key management of the Group to continuously strive for the continuing operation and development of the Company in the future, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Securities Law of the People’s Republic of China and other applicable laws, regulations, regulatory documents and the Articles of Association, the Company has formulated the H Share Award and Trust Scheme. For details of the H Share Award and Trust Scheme, please refer to Appendix I to this circular. The H Share Award and Trust Scheme was prepared in Chinese language. In the event of any discrepancy between the English translation and the Chinese version of the H Share Award and Trust Scheme, the Chinese version shall prevail.

The H Share Award and Trust Scheme constitutes a share scheme under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, and is subject to the applicable disclosure requirements under Rule 17.12 of the Listing Rules. However, the H Share Award and Trust Scheme does not constitute a scheme involving the issuance of new shares as set out under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules as the planning and adoption of the H Share Award and Trust Scheme is funded by the existing Shares only. If any award is proposed to be granted to a connected person of the Company (such as a Director), and such grant constitutes a connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Company shall comply with the applicable provisions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

A special resolution will be proposed at the EGM to consider and approve the above H Share Award and Trust Scheme.

e) after the expiry of the Award Period or after the earlier termination of the Scheme in accordance with Rule 21 of the Scheme;

Where such a prohibition causes the prescribed timing imposed by the Scheme Rules or the Trust Deed to be missed, such prescribed timing shall be treated as extended until as soon as reasonably practicable after the first business day on which the prohibition no longer prevents the relevant action.

8.5. All the funds for the implementation of the Scheme come from the Company's own funds.

b) to the extent that, at the determination of the Board and/or the Delegate(s), it is not practicable for the Selected Participant to receive the Award in H Shares solely due to legal or regulatory restrictions with respect to the Selected Participant's ability to receive the Award in H Shares or the Trustee's ability to give effect to any such transfer to the Selected Participant, the Board and/or the Delegate(s) will direct and procure the Trustee to sell, through on-market transactions at the prevailing market price, the number of Award Shares so vested in respect of the Selected Participant and pay the Selected Participant the proceeds in cash arising from such sale based on the Actual Selling Price of such Award Shares as set out in the Vesting Notice.

b) sell, on the Selected Participant's behalf, such number of H Shares to which the Selected Participant becomes entitled under the Scheme and retain the proceeds and/or pay them to the relevant authorities or government agency;

c) deduct or withhold, without notice to the Selected Participant, the amount of any such liability from any payment to the Selected Participant made under the Scheme or from any payments due from a member of the Group to the Selected Participant, including from the salary payable to the Selected Participant by any member of the Group; and/or
