LETTER FROM THE BOARD

This Circular aims to give you the Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and to provide you with the information necessary to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against certain ordinary resolution and special resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting relating to, among other things, the followings.

II. MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. Proposed Disposal of Certain Collaterals

Reference is made to the announcement dated June 26, 2019 of the Bank in relation to, among other things, the proposed disposal of certain collaterals.

Prior to 2015, the Bank, during the course of business, provided three loans to the borrowers which were secured by their commercial properties as collateral (the “ Collaterals ”). After the borrowers defaulted, the relevant court in the PRC put the Collaterals up for auction but the auction failed, and the relevant Collaterals were then delivered to the Bank in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The then total carrying amounts of such Collaterals were approximately RMB100.78 million. In order to speed up the disposal and realization of the Collaterals, reduce the occupation of capital by inefficient assets, optimize the asset structure, and to build a modern financial enterprise with efficient capital operation and excellent asset quality, and in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Measures for the Administration of Debt-expired Assets in Banks of the Ministry of Finance of the PRC and the Administrative Measures for the Capital of Commercial Banks of the CBIRC, the Board proposes to dispose such Collaterals by way of public auctions.

Based on the recent reassessment by appraisal agency, the appraisal value of such Collaterals was approximately RMB38.4 million. It is expected that there would be a disposal loss of approximately RMB69.6 million together with the estimated disposal tax if the auction is to be completed at the appraisal price. According to the Bank’s internal authorization, if the Bank’s actual loss from the disposal of Collaterals, (i) exceeds the Bank’s estimated loss, and the excess amount is within 10% of the estimated loss; and (ii) the actual loss amount is not more than RMB10 million, the chairman of the Bank will be fully authorized to handle the disposal, or when it is beyond the authority of the chairman of the Bank, such disposal shall be submitted to the general meeting for consideration.

Among the three Collaterals, as one of the commercial properties with a total area of approximately 7,128.99 square meters located in Yueliang Street, Dasi Lane, Hejiang Town, Hejiang County, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, PRC is expected to incur a disposal loss of approximately RMB50.3 million, exceeding RMB10 million of the authority of the Board/the chairman of the Bank, the Board proposes to submit an ordinary resolution at the Extraordinary General Meeting to consider and approve the disposal of this collateral with an estimated loss exceeding RMB10 million.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the Bank’s policy on asset impairment provision, the Bank made certain impairment provision for the Collaterals in 2018. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Bank also proposed to make a further expected assets impairment provision of approximately RMB63 million for the Collaterals based on the appraisal value of the Collaterals, such further impairment provision would be reflected in the interim results of the Bank for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and would further offset some potential losses upon the actual completion of the disposal, while the remaining losses on disposal (if any) will affect the net profit after tax of the Bank upon the completion of actual disposal of the Collaterals. Reference is made to the positive profit alert dated July 8, 2019 of the Bank that based on a preliminary assessment on the unaudited management accounts of the Bank for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the information currently available to the Bank, the Bank is expected to record an increase of not less than 30% in the net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (taking into account, among others, the estimation of expected credit losses and impairment losses), as compared with that for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

As the disposal of the three Collaterals (one of which with an estimated loss exceeding RMB10 million and to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting for the Shareholders to consider and approve its disposal) is yet to complete; the amount of above expected losses is calculated only based on current appraisal value; and the expected amount of taxes were estimated by tax agent and other factors, certain differences may exist between the actual losses arising from the actual disposal and the estimated losses, and the actual effect of the disposal losses of the three Collaterals on the annual profits in 2019 is still subject to further confirmation. The Bank will separately inform the Shareholders and the Bank’s potential investors of any further material development of the disposal of the three Collaterals as and when appropriate and make appropriate disclosure according to the requirements of the Listing Rules if necessary.

2. Proposed Issue of the SME Bonds

Reference is made to the announcement published by the Bank on June 26, 2019 relating to, among others, the proposed issue of the SME Bonds.

In order to replenish the Bank’s debt sources, optimize its medium- and long-term debt structure, and provide guarantee for its business development, the Board proposes a special resolution at the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the public issue of the SME Bonds in the aggregate amount of not more than RMB2 billion with a maturity of not more than five years to all members in the national inter-bank bond market of the PRC by the Bank. The proceeds from the issuance will be earmarked for the issuance of loans of small and micro enterprises and personal business loans. The SME Bonds will not be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The proposed issue of the SME Bonds is also subject to obtaining necessary approvals from the CBIRC’s Sichuan office, the head office of the PBoC and other relevant regulatory authorities.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Voting by Poll at the Extraordinary General Meeting

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders of a listed issuer at a general meeting of the issuer must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands.

On a poll, each Shareholder who attends the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or by proxy (or being a corporation by its duly authorized representative) shall have one vote for each Share registered in his/her/its name in the register of members of the Bank.
