Pursuant to Article 84(1) of the Articles, Ms. Guo Lei (“Ms. Guo”), Ms. Lo Wan Man (“Ms. Lo”) and Mr. Zou Heqiang (“Mr. Zou”) will retire at the forthcoming annual general meeting. All of the above retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the forthcoming annual general meeting.
Pursuant to Article 83(3) of the Articles, Ms. Ye Bailing (“Ms. Ye”) (who has been appointed as an executive Director by the Board on 28 October 2025) shall hold office until the Annual General Meeting. The above additional retiring Director, being eligible, will offer herself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.
The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company’s board diversity policy and director nomination policy and the Company’s corporate strategy.
Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou confirmed their independence with regard to the independent criteria under Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Neither Ms. Lo nor Mr. Zou has served the Company as independent non-executive Director for more than nine years and neither of them serves in seven or more listed companies in Hong Kong as directors. The Nomination Committee has reviewed and assessed their independence based on their annual confirmation of independence. The Nomination Committee is satisfied that Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou are independent. Ms. Lo, being the chairman of the Nomination Committee, and Mr. Zou, being a member of the Nomination Committee, had abstained from voting at the meeting of the Nomination Committee in which their respective independence was being considered.
The Company has in place a nomination policy which sets out, inter alia, the selection criteria (the “Criteria”) and the evaluation procedures in nominating candidates to be appointed or re-appointed as Directors. The Nomination Committee is satisfied with the respective contributions of Ms. Ye, Ms. Guo, Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou. The re-appointment of each of Ms. Ye, Ms. Guo, Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou was recommended by the Nomination Committee, and the Board has accepted the recommendations following a review of their overall contribution and service to the Company including their attendance of Board meetings and general meeting, the level of participation and performance on the Board, and whether they continue to satisfy the Criteria. The Board considers that the re-election of Ms. Ye as executive Director, Ms. Guo as non-executive Director, and Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou as independent non-executive Directors is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and hence recommended Ms. Ye to stand for re-election as executive Director, Ms. Guo to stand for re-election as non-executive Director, and Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou to stand for re-election as independence non-executive Directors by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Each of Ms. Ye, Ms. Guo, Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou abstained from the discussion and voting at the Board meeting regarding their respective nominations.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou have been serving as the independent non-executive Directors of the Company since 29 May 2019. Taking into consideration of their valuable contributions, impartiality and independent judgment demonstrated at meetings of the Board and various Board committees and their respective contributions to the Board in the past, the Board is satisfied that Ms. Lo and Mr. Zou, who are with the qualification of certified accountant and lawyer respectively, have the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of the independent non-executive Director, and they will continue to bring a wide range of insights and expertise to the Board and enrich the diversity of the Board.

3. PROPOSED RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
Rongcheng (Hong Kong) CPA Limited (“Rongcheng”) will retire as the auditor of the Company at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-appointment.
With reference to the Guidelines for Effective Audit Committees — Selection, Appointment and Reappointment of Auditors published by the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council on 16 December 2021, the Audit Committee has given due consideration to the audit quality and audit fees when selecting and making recommendation to the Board on the re-appointment of Rongcheng as the external auditor for 2026.
The estimated audit fee for the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ending 31 December 2026 is approximately RMB1,240,000 (exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses). The audit scope covers the Company's core business operations, with an audit plan tailored to the Company's size and risk profile. The estimated audit fee has been determined after due consideration and arm's length negotiations between the Company and Rongcheng taking into account, among other matters, the scale and structure of the Group, as well as the nature and complexity of the Group's business and operations. Unless there is a material change in the basis or assumptions set out above, the final audit fee should not deviate materially from the estimated amount initially disclosed. In the event of any material change, the Company will make further disclosure as appropriate.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, the audit engagement team and other persons in Rongcheng are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The Board (which agreed with the view of the Audit Committee) recommended that, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the 2026 AGM, Rongcheng be re-appointed as the external auditor of the Company and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE 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 ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.
- SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 215,813,840 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 4 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the existing number of Shares in issue (i.e. a total of 215,813,840 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 21,581,384 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the total number of Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
- REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
Repurchase of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
- FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE
The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
4. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE

However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
6. GENERAL
To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
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 Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
The Company confirms that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Silver Castle International Limited is wholly owned by Mr. Wu Yueshi. By virtue of the SFO, Silver Castle International Limited and Mr. Wu Yueshi are deemed to be interested in the Shares in which XinDaXin is interested.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.
APPENDIX II

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
During the 6 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
