LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given the above, the Board proposes to make amendments to the existing Articles of Association in order to remove provisions that are obsolete as a result of the repeal of the Special Regulations and the Mandatory Provisions, to reflect the New PRC Regulations, to embody certain requirements of the PRC Guidelines on AoA and to comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules. Details of the Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

The Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association will not undermine the protection of the Shareholders and will not have material impact on measures to protect the Shareholders. In particular, according to the New PRC Regulations, domestic shares and H shares shall be regarded as the same class of ordinary shares, and holders of domestic shares and H shares shall no longer be regarded as different classes of shareholders, the substantive rights attached to the two types of shares (including voting rights, dividends and asset distribution in case of liquidation) shall be identical. Therefore, the removal of the class meeting requirements from the Articles of Association will not undermine the protection of the Shareholders. In addition, given that there are sufficient channels to resolve disputes (such as court proceedings in Mainland China and Hong Kong) to enable the Shareholders to exercise their rights under the Articles of Association, the removal of the arbitration provision from the Articles of Association and the abolition of arbitration as the sole means of dispute resolution will not affect the protection of the Shareholders.

The amended Articles of Association will become effective from the date of the EGM, at which the relevant resolution will be considered and, if thought fit, approved by the Shareholders. Prior to that, the existing Articles of Association shall remain effective.

Upon the Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association taking effect, the Company will continue to comply with Appendix 3 to the Listing Rules to meet the core shareholder protection standards by means of compliance with PRC laws in combination with its Articles of Association and will further monitor its ongoing compliance with these rules.

The above resolution was considered and approved by the Board on December 6, 2023 and is being proposed as a special resolution for consideration and approval at the EGM and the Class Meetings. Save for the Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association as set out in Appendix III to this circular, other provisions of the Articles of Association remain unchanged. In the event of any discrepancy between the English translation and the Chinese version of the Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association, the Chinese version shall prevail.
