The Board will assess and determine their remuneration; and (ii) remunerations of full-time executive Directors who are not concurrently acting as the senior management of the Company are determined at the general meeting.
For January to March 2025, the full-time executive Director of the Company who was not concurrently acting as the senior management of the Company was Mr. Wenjie Zhang. Mr. Wenjie Zhang was re-designated from an executive Director to a non-executive Director with effect from 24 March 2025 due to adjustments to work arrangements. According to appraisal plans of the Company for the year 2025, his remunerations for January to March 2025 are mainly determined based on indexes such as financial index, marketing index, operational and management index, research and development index, strategic and developmental index, as well as assessed his contributions comprehensively. Save for above, there were no other full-time executive Directors who were not concurrently acting as senior management of the Company for the year 2025.

In order to seize the market opportunities and to ensure the flexibility of issuing new shares, a special resolution will be proposed to the AGM to approve granting an unconditional general mandate to the Board to exercise the general power of the Company to issue, allot and deal with additional Shares of the Company subject to the market condition and the needs of the Company, and to make or grant offers, agreements and/or options in respect thereof, provided that the number of the Shares involved shall not exceed 20% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of passing this resolution at the general meeting of the Company.
Further details of the special resolution to be passed with respect to the grant of general mandate to issue shares of the Company are set out in the Notice of AGM.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR H SHARES REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the grant of the H Shares Repurchase Mandate.
I. THE LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below. The Company is empowered by the Articles of Association to repurchase its own securities.
II. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares issued by the Company was 543,494,853 (including 197,420,456 Unlisted Shares and 346,074,397 H Shares). Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the H Shares Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no H Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the H Shares Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 34,607,439 H Shares, being up to 10% of the total H Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of passing the relevant resolution.
III. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the H Shares Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the H Shares Repurchase Mandate may, depending on 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 if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
IV. EXERCISE OF THE H SHARES REPURCHASE MANDATE
Subject to the passing of the special resolution(s) in relation to the grant of the H Shares Repurchase Mandate to the Board proposed at the AGM, the Board will be granted the H Shares Repurchase Mandate. Such H Shares Repurchase Mandate, if approved, will lapse at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the relevant special resolution(s) at the AGM; or (b) the date on which the authority conferred by the relevant special resolution(s) is revoked or varied by a special resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting. In addition, the exercise of the H Shares Repurchase Mandate shall be subject to the approval of the relevant PRC regulatory authorities as required by the law, rules and regulations of the PRC being obtained (if applicable).
V. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing its H Shares, the Company may only apply funds from the Company's internal resources legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC, including but not limited to surplus funds and undistributed profits of the Company. The
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR H SHARES REPURCHASE MANDATE
Company may not repurchase securities on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as amended from time to time.
VI. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 in the event that the repurchase of H Shares was carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the repurchase of H Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing ratio of the Company.
VII. STATUS OF REPURCHASED H SHARE
As stated in "2. Details of the Resolutions – (9) General Mandate to Repurchase H Shares of the Company" in the Letter from the Board, if the Company repurchases any H Shares pursuant to the H Shares Repurchase Mandate, the Company will either (i) cancel the H Shares repurchased and reduce the Company's registered capital in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations; and/or (ii) hold such H Shares in treasury, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time any repurchases of H Shares are made. Under the PRC laws, if the H Shares repurchased by the Company will be cancelled, the Company's registered capital will be reduced by an amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the H Shares so cancelled.
VIII. H SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the H Shares have traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Highest (HK$) | Lowest (HK$) | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | ||
| April | 39.95 | 23.00 |
| May | 47.10 | 32.75 |
| June | 53.80 | 43.00 |
| July | 74.50 | 50.80 |
| August | 85.95 | 63.20 |
| September | 92.00 | 66.00 |
| October | 79.60 | 65.30 |
| November | 72.00 | 56.20 |
| December | 70.00 | 55.60 |
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR H SHARES REPURCHASE MANDATE
| Highest (HK$) | Lowest (HK$) | |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | ||
| January | 71.50 | 53.05 |
| February | 74.50 | 54.60 |
| March | 72.45 | 61.55 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 87.10 | 70.45 |
IX. GENERAL
The Directors will, so far as the same may be applicable, exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the H Shares Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.
To the best of the knowledge of the Directors, neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.
X. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
To the best of knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or their respective close associates have any present intention to sell to the Company any of the H Shares of the Company if the H Shares Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any H Shares nor has such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the securities held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the H Shares Repurchase Mandate is granted.
XI. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the H Shares Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code and any similar applicable laws as a consequence of any repurchase of Shares under the H Shares Repurchase Mandate.
XII. SECURITIES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not purchased any H Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
