Where conditions for cash dividend distribution are satisfied, if the Company’s operating revenue and net profit grow rapidly and the Board of Directors considers the Company’s share capital scale and equity structure to be reasonable, it may propose and implement a share dividend distribution plan in addition to the cash dividend distribution proposal. For each share dividend distribution, the number of share dividends allocated per 10 shares shall not be less than 1 share.

APPENDIX XI EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.
- TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,261,156,675 Shares, including 1,210,415,575 A Shares and 50,741,100 H Shares (including 5,585,763 A Shares held as Treasury Shares by the Company). Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis that no further Shares are issued on or prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 125,557,091 Shares, representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue (excluding any Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.
- REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders. Subject to market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, the repurchase of Shares may increase the net asset value per share and/or earnings per share and will only be made where our Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and Shareholders.
- EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Upon the passing of the special resolution set out in the notice of the AGM, the Directors will be granted the Repurchase Mandate which takes effect until the Relevant Period (as defined in the notice of AGM). In addition, the Repurchase Mandate is subject to obtaining approval from the relevant regulatory authorities in China in accordance with the laws, regulations and rules of the PRC.
- FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of the PRC and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
In accordance with the requirements of PRC applicable laws or administrative regulations, and subject to the approval of relevant authority, the Company is entitled by its Articles of Association to purchase its Shares. The Company may not repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.
- IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
The Directors are of the view that, in the light of the financial position disclosed in the most recently published audited accounts of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, there will not be any material adverse impact on the Company's working capital or gearing levels in the event of the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full at any time during the repurchase period. The number of A Shares and/or H Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors in due course with the circumstances then prevailing considered and in the best interests of the Company.

7. GENERAL INFORMATION
Each of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) currently does not intend to sell any Shares to the Company following the approval by the Shareholders of granting the Repurchase Mandate.
The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in compliance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws of the PRC.
The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Company has confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
— 81 —
The Company may cancel such H Shares repurchased or hold them as Treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group’s capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases, which may change due to evolving circumstances.
For any Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings of the Company for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, withdraw the Treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as Treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions, or take any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as Treasury Shares.
9. TAKEOVERS CODE
If, as a result of any repurchase of A and/or H Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase in proportionate interest will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate his/her/its/ their control of the Company and thereby becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Controlling Shareholders in aggregate held approximately 30.15% of the total issued shares (excluding Treasury Shares) of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, the proportional interests in the voting rights of the Company held by the Controlling Shareholders (who are presumed to be concert parties under the Takeovers Code), would increase to approximately 33.52% of the total issued shares of the Company (excluding any Treasury Shares) (on the basis that none of them participates in such repurchase). The increase would result in the obligation of making a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Board has no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate if it would result in a takeover obligation, or consequences that would arise under any similar applicable law of which the Directors are aware. Moreover, the Directors will not repurchase Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange if such repurchase would violate the requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
10. SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not repurchased any H Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) from the Listing Date up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.
During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company repurchased 1,664,600 A Shares from the SSE, details of which are as follows:
| Transaction date | Number of A Shares repurchased | Highest price per A Share (RMB) | Lowest price per A Share (RMB) |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 7, 2026 | 578,900 | 91.27 | 90.59 |
| April 8, 2026 | 362,500 | 95.45 | 95.19 |
| April 9, 2026 | 723,200 | 94.59 | 93.63 |

The record date will be Thursday, May 7, 2026. In order to determine Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the AGM, all properly completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Company’s H Share Registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong (for holders of H Shares) for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, 2026. Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on Thursday, May 7, 2026 are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM.
-
Treasury shares, if any and registered under the name of the Company, shall have no voting rights at the general meeting(s) of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, solely from the perspectives of the Listing Rules, the Company shall, upon depositing any treasury shares in the CCASS, abstain from voting at any of its general meeting(s) in relation to those shares.
-
Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in his/her stead. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company but must attend the AGM in person to represent the relevant Shareholder.
The instrument appointing a proxy must be in writing and signed by the Shareholder or his/her attorney who was duly authorized in writing. If the Shareholder is a corporation, that instrument must be executed either under its common seal or under the hand of its Director(s) or duly authorized attorney. If that instrument is signed by an attorney of the Shareholder, the power of attorney authorizing that attorney to sign or other authorization documents must be notarized.
Shareholders must lodge the form of proxy together with the notarized power of attorney or other authorization documents (if any) to the Company’s H Share Registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong (for H Shareholders), not less than 24 hours before the time appointed for the AGM (i.e. before 2:00 P.M. on Wednesday, May 6, 2026) or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) as Shareholders wish.
-
According to Rule 13.39(4) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, any vote of Shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting must be taken by poll. As such, the resolutions set out in the notice of the AGM will be voted on by poll.
-
Shareholders or their proxies attending the AGM (or any adjournment thereof) shall produce their identity documents. Shareholders or their proxies attending the AGM shall be responsible for their own travelling and accommodation expenses.
-
Pursuant to Article 86 of the Articles of Association, the cumulative voting system indicates that each share has the number of voting rights identical to the number of directors to be elected, and the voting rights owned by the shareholders may be cumulatively used when the Shareholders’ Meeting elects the directors. The Board shall announce the resumes and basic information of the candidates for directors.
When the Company adopts the cumulative voting system to elect directors, each shareholder shall have one ballot. The ballot shall list the number of shares held by the shareholder, the number of directors to be elected, and the list of all candidates, and shall be sufficient to meet the functions of the cumulative voting system. The specific operating rules of the cumulative voting system are as follows:
(I) the total number of valid voting rights that each shareholder present at the meeting can exercise in the election of directors shall be equal to the number of voting shares held by the shareholder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. Among them, non-independent directors and independent directors shall be elected separately;
(II) each shareholder may concentrate all the voting rights of the shares held on one director candidate, or distribute them among any number of director candidates;
(III) the number of votes that each shareholder casts for a single director candidate may be higher or lower than the number of voting shares held by the shareholder, and does not have to be an integral multiple of the number of such shares. However, the total number of votes cast by the shareholder for all director candidates shall not exceed the total number of valid voting rights held by the shareholder;
(IV) after the voting is completed, based on the number of votes obtained by all candidates and limited to the number of directors to be elected, the elected directors shall be determined in descending order of votes among the candidates who have received votes.
