The Board has recommended a final dividend of HK$0.0693 per Share for the year ended 31 December 2025 to be paid out of the retained earnings of the Company, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. It is expected that the relevant dividend will be paid on 24 July 2026 to those entitled, subject to Shareholders' approval at the Annual General Meeting.
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Pursuant to Bye-law 84(1) and (2), at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation, provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires.
Accordingly, the Directors who will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting pursuant to the Bye-laws are Mr. LU Xin ("Mr. Lu") and Mr. SUN Po Yuen ("Mr. Sun"), both of whom are independent non-executive Directors.

Ms. Zhang and Mr. Zhang will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Pursuant to code provision B.3.4 of the Corporate Governance Code in Appendix C1 of the Listing Rules, where the board proposes a resolution to elect an individual as an independent non-executive director at the general meeting, it should set out in the circular: (i) the process used for identifying the individual and why the board believes the individual should be elected and the reasons why it considers the individual to be independent; (ii) if the proposed independent non-executive director will be holding his seventh (or more) listed company directorship, why the board believes the individual would still be able to devote sufficient time to the board; (iii) the perspectives, skills and experience that the individual can bring to the board; and (iv) how the individual contributes to the diversity of the board.
In reviewing the structure of the Board, the Nomination Committee will consider the Board diversity from a number of aspects, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills and knowledge. All Board appointments will be based on meritocracy, and candidates will be considered against criteria including talents, skills and experience as may be necessary for the operation of the Board as a whole, with a view to maintaining a sound balance of the Board's composition.
Mr. Lu Xin has over 31 years of experience in finance, investment and corporate management with extensive knowledge about economic activities of Hong Kong and Mainland China. The Nomination Committee is of the view that the re-election of Mr. Lu as an independent non-executive Director may replenish the professional knowledge of the Board in economic and financial affairs, promote the diversity of the Board in terms of skills and experience, and improve the corporate governance of the Company.
Mr. Lu has been serving as an independent non-executive Director of the Company since February 2015. Pursuant to code provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code in Appendix C1 of the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive director has served a company for more than nine years, his further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders. During his term of office, Mr. Lu has actively participated in the meetings of the Board and the Board committees, and provided independent and objective judgment and advice to the Board to safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Mr. Lu has not been involved in any management role in the Company nor has he been involved in any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgement. The Board considers that the continuous appointment of Mr. Lu as an independent non-executive Director will help maintain the stability of the Board as he will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. In addition, Mr. Lu has declared his independence by submitting an annual written confirmation of independence to the Board pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Board believes that Mr. Lu is independent from the Company and complies with the independence requirements of Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.
With nearly four decades of experience in accounting, Mr. Sun has extensive experience working in accounting firms and services for multinational corporations. He is familiar with business logic and regulatory requirements for listed companies, and has a deep understanding of the Hong Kong capital market and the sustainable development of listed companies. Mr. Sun has also been engaged in charity and social service work for a long time, demonstrating good social influence. In addition, Mr. Sun has declared his
- 6 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
independence by submitting an annual written confirmation of independence to the Board pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Board believes that Mr. Sun is independent from the Company and complies with the independence requirements of Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.
The Board and the Nomination Committee are of the view that their appointment will bring valuable perspectives, knowledge, skills, and experience to the Board, to ensure its efficient and effective operation, and will facilitate the Board to achieve diversity, benefiting the Company's compliant operation, as well as robust and sustainable development.
The Board has considered the recommendation of the Nomination Committee and recommended to the Shareholders that Mr. Lu and Mr. Sun be re-elected as independent non-executive Directors, Mr. Zhang be re-elected as an executive Director, and Ms. Zhang be re-elected as a non-executive Director at the Annual General Meeting. Each of them has abstained from voting at the Board meeting in respect of their respective nominations.
Biographies of the Directors proposed for re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
PROPOSED RE-APPOINTMENT OF THE COMPANY'S AUDITOR
KPMG will retire as the Company's auditor at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offers itself for re-appointment. The Board recommends the re-appointment of KPMG as the Company's auditor for a term until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee.
For the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year ended 31 December 2026, the audit fees payable to KPMG are RMB3.6 million (excluding relevant taxes and out-of-pocket expenses). The audit fees were determined by the Company and KPMG after due consideration and on an arm's length basis, taking into account the scale, nature and complexity of the Group's business operations, the expected audit scope (covering the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards), the audit timetable, and the level and composition of professional staff to be deployed. The audit fees are also based on the assumption that there will be no material changes in the Group's operating conditions, accounting policies or regulatory environment during the financial year, and that the Company will provide timely adequate assistance and information as reasonably required for the audit.
Unless there are material changes to the above basis or assumptions, the final audit fees shall not differ materially from the amount disclosed. The Company will make further disclosure in a timely manner should any material changes occur.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED BUY-BACK MANDATE
This explanatory statement contains the particulars required by the Listing Rules to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the Buy-back Mandate.
LISTING RULES FOR BUY-BACK OF SHARES
Pursuant to the Listing Rules, companies with primary listing on the Stock Exchange are permitted to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange, subject to certain restrictions.
FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACKS
Buy-backs of Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose and in accordance with the Company's constitutive documents and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated or otherwise established. Bermuda laws provide that funds used for a share buy-back may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution, or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium, if any, payable on a buy-back may only be paid out of the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution, or out of the share premium account of the Company before the Shares are bought back.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company comprised 7,024,455,733 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed to buy back a maximum of 702,445,573 Shares during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the Bye-laws, or the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACKS
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share, and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Directors have no present intention to buy back any Shares and they would only exercise the power to buy back in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that there would not
- I-1 -
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED BUY-BACK MANDATE
be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. In any event, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing positions of the Company which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
SHARE PRICES
The following table shows the highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the last twelve months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

USE OF SHARES BOUGHT BACK
Following a buy-back of Shares, the Company may cancel any Shares bought back and/or hold them as treasury Shares subject to, among others, market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the buy-backs, which may change due to evolving circumstances. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should pay attention to any announcement to be published by the Company in the future, including but without limitation, any next day disclosure return (which shall identify, among others, the number of Shares bought back that are to be held in treasury or cancelled upon settlement of such buy-backs, and where applicable, disclose the reasons for any deviation from the intention statement previously disclosed) and any relevant monthly return.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED BUY-BACK MANDATE
For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall, upon approval by the Board, implement the below interim measures:
(i) the Company shall procure its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the treasury Shares deposited with CCASS;
(ii) in the case of dividends or distributions (if any and where applicable), the Company shall 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 relevant record date for the dividend or distributions; or
(iii) take any other measures to ensure that the Company 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.
TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a buy-back of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
According to the register of interests maintained by the Company under section 336 of the SFO and so far as was known to the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Sinochem HK held 3,698,660,874 Shares, representing approximately 52.65% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date, in the event that the Directors exercise the Buy-back Mandate in full, the shareholdings of Sinochem HK would be increased to approximately 58.50% of the entire issued ordinary share capital of the Company. Such increases would not trigger any obligation to make a mandatory offer for Shares under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any consequences under the Takeovers Code in the event of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate.
GENERAL
None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their close associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors will exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Bermuda. In addition, the Company has confirmed that neither this explanatory statement nor the Buy-back Mandate has any unusual features.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED BUY-BACK MANDATE
No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
In addition, the Directors do not propose to buy back Shares to such an extent as would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares being held by the public.
The Company has not bought back any Shares, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
