The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information on, among other things, the following resolutions to be put forward at the AGM: (i) the proposed application for the comprehensive banking facility; (ii) the proposed purchase of wealth management products with internal idle fund and idle proceeds; (iii) the proposed foreign exchange derivatives transactions; (iv) the proposed grant of the


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

General Mandate to issue new Shares; and (v) other matters contained in the notice of AGM, so that the Shareholders may make an informed decision on voting in respect of the resolutions to be tabled at the AGM.

II. PROPOSED APPLICATION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE BANKING FACILITY

For the purpose of supplementing the working capital of the Company, the Company proposes to apply to banks for the comprehensive banking facility for new and renewed existing facility in the forms including but not limited to new and renewed existing short term working capital loan, medium and long term loan, bank acceptance bill, commercial acceptance bill, accounts receivable factoring, bill discount, guarantee, letter of credit and mortgage loan. The total amount of the comprehensive banking facility shall not exceed RMB600 million and is subject to the actual business need of the Company and the final amount approved by the banks. The above cap amount may be used on a rolling basis and the approval and authorisation shall be valid from the date of the approval at the AGM to the date of convening the 2025 annual general meeting of the Company. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, it is expected that the banks are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules).

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM regarding the consideration and approval of the proposal on the proposed application for the comprehensive banking facility and the authorisation of the chairman of the Board to sign, execute and deliver all facility agreements, financing agreements and other documents in relation to this resolution and to do all such acts and things as he deems necessary or appropriate in connection with or to carry out the actions contemplated by this resolution.

III. PROPOSED PURCHASE OF WEALTH MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS WITH INTERNAL IDLE FUND AND IDLE PROCEEDS

In order to improve the efficiency of internal idle fund and idle proceeds and maximise the practical value of the fund, under the premise of ensuring the daily operations of the Company, capital security, operational compliance, and control of risks, the Company intends to use the internal idle fund and idle proceeds to purchase wealth management products, and, subject to the future plans and purposes as disclosed in the "Future Plans and Use of Proceeds" of the prospectus of the Company dated 13 December 2024, the balance of internal idle fund and idle proceeds of such wealth management products purchased by the Company shall not exceed RMB300 million and RMB700 million, respectively. The above cap amounts may be used on a rolling basis and the approval and authorisation shall be valid from the date of the approval at the AGM to the date of convening the 2025 annual general meeting of the Company. If the purchase of wealth management products constitutes a transaction under Chapter 14 or Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Company will comply with relevant requirements under the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM regarding the consideration and approval of the proposal purchase of wealth management products with internal idle fund and idle proceeds and the authorisation of the chairman of the Board to sign, execute and deliver all documents in relation to the purchase of wealth management products within the authorised scope.

The total amount of the foreign exchange derivatives products, inclusive of the transaction amount of products purchased by proceeds from such transactions, shall not exceed RMB700 million at any point of time.

(b) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the PRC; or

(b) to make all necessary applications to the relevant authorities, enter into an underwriting agreement or any other agreements, and to make all necessary filings and registrations with the relevant PRC, Hong Kong and other regulatory authorities; and

(c) to make necessary amendments to the Articles of Association in order to reflect the new shareholding structure of the Company after authorising the Company to allot or issue Shares pursuant to this resolution.

No class meeting shall be required to be convened by the Company when the Board exercises the general mandate to issue, allot and deal with additional shares (whether non-listed shares or H shares or securities convertible into such shares, options, warrants or similar rights to subscribe for non-listed shares or H shares of the Company).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company issued 46,156,853 Domestic Shares and 358,038,547 H Shares.
