LETTER FROM THE BOARD

316,823,400 Capitalization Shares from the capital reserve of the Company as at 31 December 2017 on the basis of 1 (one) Capitalization Share for every 1 (one) existing Share.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued share capital of the Company was RMB316,823,400, which comprised of 91,800,000 H Shares and 225,023,400 Domestic Shares. On the basis that an aggregate of 316,823,400 Shares were in issue, the new Shares will comprise 137,700,000 new H Shares (the “ New H Shares ”) and 337,535,100 new Domestic Shares (the “ New Domestic Shares ”) to be allotted and issued under the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue, in which the total 475,235,100 Bonus Shares and Capitalization Shares will be credited as fully paid upon the completion of the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue.

There were no outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities to subscribe for the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

(a) Conditions of the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue

The issue of Bonus Shares and Capitalization Shares is subject to the following conditions:

  • (i) approval from the Shareholders at the forthcoming AGM as well as the H Shareholders’ Class Meeting and the Domestic Shareholders’ Class Meeting;

  • (ii) The Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New H Shares to be allotted and issued under the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue; and

  • (iii) compliance with the relevant legal procedures and requirements under the Company Law of the PRC to effect the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue.

Warning of Risks of Dealing in the H Shares

H Shareholders should note that the existing H Shares are expected to be dealt in on an ex-entitlement basis for entitlement to the New H Shares and the Cash Dividend from Thursday, 5 July 2018. If the conditions of the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue (as set out above under the paragraph headed “Conditions of the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue”) are not fulfilled, the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue will not proceed. If in doubt, investors are recommended to consult their professional advisers.

Shareholders of H Shares and any person contemplating selling or purchasing Shares should note that since there is a time interval between the ex-entitlement date for the New H Shares and the date of allotment of the New H Shares, the closing share price before such ex-entitlement

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

date shall be adjusted downward on the ex-entitlement date but the New H shares would not be available for trading until the allotment date, which may potentially result in significant price fluctuations during such period.

(b) Ranking of the Bonus Shares and Capitalization Shares

The Bonus Shares and Capitalization Shares will, subject to the Articles of Association, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the H Shares and Domestic Shares then in issue. Holders of the Bonus Shares and Capitalization Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions (if any) which are declared and paid after the date on which the Bonus Shares and Capitalization Shares are allotted and issued, but will not be entitled to the proposed Cash Dividend.

(c) Overseas Shareholders

  • (e) Listing and Dealings

The H Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange. Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New H Shares. Apart from making listing application to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange, the Board does not propose to make application to any other stock exchanges for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares and Capitalisation Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no part of equity or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, nor is listing or permission to deal in the equity or debt securities being or proposed to be sought from any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions as set out in this circular (including but not limited to the granting of the aforesaid approval by the Stock Exchange), the New H Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS. The New H Shares are not new class of securities to be listed and accordingly no arrangement is required to be made to enable the New H Shares to be admitted into CCASS. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Subject to the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue becoming unconditional, the certificates for the New H Shares (which are not renounceable) and the cheques for the proposed Cash Dividend will be despatched by ordinary post to the H Shareholders who are entitled thereto at their own risk. In case of joint shareholding, the certificates for the New H Shares and the cheques for the proposed Cash Dividend will be posted to the first named person on the H

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholder’s register in respect of such joint shareholding. For the date of despatch of the certificates for the New H Shares and the cheques for the proposed Cash Dividend and the date of the commencement of dealings in the New H Shares, please refer to the sections headed “Expected Timetable” and “Proposed Distribution of Cash Dividend” of this circular.

  • (f) Reasons for the proposed distribution of Cash Dividend, the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue

The Board believes that the proposed distribution of Cash Dividend, the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue (i) will provide the Company with a wider capital base and therefore enhance the liquidity of the Shares; and (ii) is a return to the long-term support and care of the Shareholders.

Based on the positive expectations on the future development of the Company, and with reference to the operating and the overall financial status of the Company, the Company proposes the Cash Dividend and the Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue in accordance with the provisions in relation to profit distribution in the Articles of Association, to increase the Company’s capital base, promote the continuous sustainable development of the Company and to increase the liquidity of the Shares.

Save for the proposed distribution of Cash Dividend, the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue will not bring monetary benefit to the Shareholders as the closing price of Shares before the ex-entitlement date for the New H Shares shall be adjusted downward on such ex-entitlement date.

The proposed Cash Dividend and the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue are subject to Shareholders’ approval. A special resolution to consider and approve the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue will be proposed at the AGM, H Shareholders’ Class Meeting and the Domestic Shareholders’ Class Meeting. An ordinary resolution to consider and approve the proposed Cash Dividend will be proposed at the AGM.

(g) Expected Timetable

Expected timetable for the issuance of New H Shares and other matters is set out on pages 3 to 4 of this circular. Dates or deadlines specified in this circular are indicative only and may be varied by the Company. Any consequential changes to the expected timetable will be published or notified to the Shareholders as and when appropriate.

In order to determine the list of H Shareholders who are entitled to the proposed Cash Dividend and New H Shares, the Company’s register of members will be closed from Sunday, 8 July 2018 to Friday, 13 July 2018, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of H Shares will be effected. H

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

disposing of or dealing in the New H Shares. It is emphasized that none of the Company, its Directors or any other parties involved in the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue accepts responsibility for any tax implication or liabilities of the H Shareholders.

4. CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The H Shares are currently traded in board lots of 1,000 H Shares each. The board lot size of the H Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange is proposed to be changed from 1,000 H Shares to 500 H Shares with effect from the expected first day of listing of, and dealing in the New H Shares, subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the proposed Bonus Issue and Capitalization Issue.

Reason for Change in Board Lot Size

The Board noted that changing the board lot size in the Shares of the Company from 1,000 to 500 Shares will reduce the board lot value of the Shares and therefore will result in higher liquidity of the Shares. The Board is also of the view that by adjusting the board lot size to 500 Shares, it will yield the benefit of removing the creation of odd lot shares after the Bonus and Capitalization Issues.

Based on the closing price of HK$23.1 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date (equivalent to a theoretical ex-entitlement price of HK$9.24 per H Share upon the allotment and issue of the New H Shares), the market value of each board lot of 1,000 H Shares is HK$23,100 and the market value of each board lot of 500 H Shares upon the allotment and issue of the New H Shares is estimated to be HK$4,620.

Odd lot arrangement

The Change in Board Lot Size will not result in any odd lots other than those already exist, as one existing board lot of 1,000 H Shares will become two new board lot of 500 H Shares after the allotment and issue of the New H Shares.

Share Certificates

In respect of the change in board lot size, Shareholders may submit their existing Share certificates to the Share Registrar at Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, in exchange for the new share certificates free of charge during the business hours (i.e. 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) from Tuesday, 3 July 2018 to Thursday, 9 August 2018 (both dates inclusive). It is expected that new share certificates will be available for collection from the Share Registrar by the Shareholders within 10 business days after delivery of the existing share certificates to the Share Registrar for exchange purpose.

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

From Friday, 10 August 2018 onwards, exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates can only be made at a cost of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each existing share certificate cancelled or each new share certificate issued, whichever number of share certificates involved is higher. All existing share certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title to such Shares and will be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. Save and except for the change in the number of Shares for each board lot, new share certificates will have the same format and colour as the existing share certificates.
