APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is an explanatory statement required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable such Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution to approve the grant of the H Share Repurchase Mandate.

  1. NUMBER OF SHARES PROPOSED TO BE REPURCHASED

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 298,944,035 H Shares.

Subject to the passing of the special resolutions in respect of the grant of the H Share Repurchase Mandate, on the basis that the total number of issued H Shares (being 298,944,035 H Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date, will remain unchanged on the date of the AGM, during the period in which the H Share Repurchase Mandate remain in force, the Directors will be authorised to repurchase up to 29,894,403 H Shares under the H Share Repurchase Mandate, representing 10% of the total issued H Shares.

  1. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

In order to maintain the value of the Company and rights and interests of the Shareholders, and to allow the Company to repurchase the Shares in a timely and flexible manner, it is proposed that the Board shall be granted the H Share Repurchase Mandate. The repurchase of the H Shares will only be exercised when the Directors believe such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  1. SOURCE OF FUNDS

In repurchasing the H Shares, the Company may use its self-owned funds or self-raised funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC, listing rules of the Company's listing places and the Articles of Association.

  1. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company were made up), the Directors consider that there will not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company in the event that the H Share Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

| | Highest
HK$ | Lowest
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2025 | | |
| October (from 10 October 2025) (note 1) | 204.80 | 170.10 |
| November | 222.80 | 170.90 |

The share prices from October 2025 to February 2026 as set out in the table above are the share prices of the H Shares after the share subdivision, while the share price for March 2026 is the share price of the subdivided H Shares.

6. GENERAL

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the proposed grant of the proposed grant of the H Share Repurchase Mandate are approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined under the Hong Kong 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 proposed grant of the proposed grant of the H Share Repurchase Mandate are approved by the Shareholders.

The Company may cancel the shares bought back under the H Share Repurchase Mandate, and/or hold them as treasury shares subject to, for example, market conditions, purposes of repurchase and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchase.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of the H Shares pursuant to the H Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC.

Neither the explanatory statement nor the H Share Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If on exercise of the powers to repurchase the H Shares pursuant to the H 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 Rule 32 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Huang Zhiming and the parties acting in concert with it controlled or was entitled to exercise control over the voting rights in respect of 128,345,075 H Shares, representing approximately 42.93% of the total issued share capital of the Company, and Mr. Huang Zhiming was the controlling shareholder of the Company.

In the event that the Directors should exercise H Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the proportional interests in the voting rights of Mr. Huang Zhiming in the Company would be increased to approximately 47.70% of the total share capital of the Company (if it does not participate in such repurchase). On this basis, the Directors are of the view that an exercise of the H Share Repurchase Mandate in full will give rise to an obligation on Mr. Huang Zhiming to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, because he will be deemed to have acquired voting rights in excess of the 2% creeper. Accordingly, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Moreover, the Directors will not make any repurchase of Shares on the Stock Exchange if such repurchase of Shares would result in the requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules not being complied with.

8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
