LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES
Pursuant to a resolution passed by the then Shareholders on 6 June 2025 (the "2025 AGM"), the Directors were granted a general mandate to repurchase the Class A Shares on the Stock Exchange. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, such mandate, to the extent not fully utilised by the date of the AGM, will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 827,262,593 Shares, out of which 759,343,733 were Class A Shares and 67,918,860 were Class B Shares.
In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase the Class A Shares if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant to the Directors the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase the Class A Shares on the Stock Exchange of not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company (excluding treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution, details of which are set out in the proposed ordinary resolution 7 in the notice of the AGM (i.e. a maximum of 82,726,259 Class A Shares to be repurchased by the Company, on the basis that the total issued share capital of the Company of 827,262,593 Shares (excluding treasury Shares) remains unchanged from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM).
The Share Repurchase Mandate, if granted, will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or regulations or the Articles of Association; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.
In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing the requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Share Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES (INCLUDING SALE OR TRANSFER OF TREASURY SHARES)
Pursuant to a resolution passed by the then Shareholders at the 2025 AGM, the Directors were granted a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Class A Shares. Such mandate, to the extent not utilised by the date of the AGM, will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue Class A Shares (including sale or transfer of treasury Shares) if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant to the Directors the Share
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Issue Mandate to allot, issue or deal with additional Class A Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued shares of the Company (excluding treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution, details of which are set out in the proposed ordinary resolution 8 in the notice of the AGM (i.e. a maximum of 165,452,518 Class A Shares to be issued by the Company, on the basis that the total issued share capital of the Company of 827,262,593 Shares (excluding treasury Shares) remains unchanged from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM).
In addition, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the extension of the Share Issue Mandate by adding to the total number of Class A Shares which may be allotted or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted by the Directors pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate the number of Shares purchased under the Share Repurchase Mandate (referred to in section 2 above), if granted. Details of the Share Issue Mandate and the extension of the Share Issue Mandate are respectively set out in resolutions 8 and 9 in the notice of the AGM.
The Share Issue Mandate, if granted, will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or regulations or the Articles of Association; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.
References herein to an allotment, issue or dealing with securities or Shares shall include a sale or transfer of treasury Shares held under the name of the Company pursuant to the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Article 27.4 of the Articles of Association, at each AGM one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), 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 at an AGM at least once every three years.
Accordingly, Mr. Chen Min, and Ms. Yan Huiping shall retire from the office and, being eligible, to offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
director nomination policy and the Company's corporate strategy and the independence of the independent non-executive Directors. Ms. Yan Huiping and Ms. Zhou Lingfei, the retiring independent non-executive Directors of the Company, have made an annual confirmations of their independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and have demonstrated their ability to provide an independent view on the Company's matters. The Nomination Committee and the Board considered that the retiring independent non-executive Directors are independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules; and satisfied with all the retiring Director's contribution to the Company, which will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. The Nomination Committee is of the view that Ms. Yan Huiping and Ms. Zhou Lingfei are able to continue to fulfill their role as independent non-executive Directors and thus recommends them to the Board the re-election of all the retiring Directors including the aforesaid independent non-executive Directors who are due to retire at the AGM.

The preliminary estimated audit fee for the audit services relating to the financial year ending 31 December 2026 is in the range of RMB4 million to RMB6 million. The estimated audit fee was determined after discussion between the Company and Ernst & Young having regard to the complexity and scale of the Company's business operations, the expected scope of the audit work, the audit timetable, and the level of auditors' resources required to perform the engagement. The estimated audit fee is preliminary in nature and may be subject to adjustment depending on, among other things, changes in the scope of audit work and other relevant factors as the engagement progresses.

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

10. GENERAL INFORMATION

Yours faithfully,
By order of the Board
TUHU Car Inc.
Chen Min
Chairman and Executive Director
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.
- REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Repurchases 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. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
- SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 827,262,593 Shares, out of which 759,343,733 were Class A Shares and 67,918,860 were Class B Shares. The Company did not hold any treasury shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 7 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the AGM, i.e. being 827,262,593 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, up to a maximum of 82,726,259 Class A Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM (excluding treasury Shares).
- FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will be funded from the Company's internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
5. TAKEOVERS CODE
If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase 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 (as defined under the Takeovers Code) 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, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the WVR Beneficiary was Chen Min. Chen Min is deemed to be interested in 14,368,284 Class A Shares (including 212,500 Class A Shares underlying the share options granted to him) and 67,918,860 Class B Shares, representing approximately 48.2% of the voting rights in the Company (except for resolutions with respect to the Reserved Matters, in relation to which each Share is entitled to one vote). Pursuant to Rule 8A.15 of the Listing Rules, in the event that the Directors exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate, if the Company reduces the number of its Shares in issue (after deducting treasury Shares) would result in an increase in the above-mentioned proportion that carry weighted voting rights, the WVR Beneficiary must reduce their weighted voting rights in the Company proportionately through conversion of a proportion of their shareholding into Class A Shares, if the reduction in the number of Shares in issue (after deducting treasury Shares) would otherwise result in an increase in the proportion of Class B Shares. As such, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate is not expected to give rise to an obligation of Chen Min to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares.
In addition, the Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the relevant prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands as required by the Stock Exchange.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
6. GENERAL
None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates 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 make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
7. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES
The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Class A Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months were as follows:
| Month | Price per Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest HK$ | Lowest HK$ | |
| 2025 | ||
| May | 19.44 | 16.64 |
| June | 20.90 | 17.28 |
| July | 21.00 | 18.80 |
| August | 21.24 | 18.33 |
| September | 21.12 | 18.88 |
| October | 19.51 | 17.51 |
| November | 18.16 | 16.38 |
| December | 17.92 | 15.50 |
| 2026 | ||
| January | 16.74 | 15.45 |
| February | 16.13 | 14.36 |
| March | 14.80 | 11.76 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 13.65 | 12.95 |

8. REPURCHASES OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company or its subsidiaries (as defined under the Listing Rules) has not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months preceding to the Latest Practicable Date.
9. INTENTION STATEMENT REGARDING REPURCHASED SHARES
Subject to the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules, the Company may cancel the repurchased Shares following settlement of any such repurchase or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to, for example, market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
Should the Company decide to hold repurchased Shares as treasury Shares, the Company will, upon completion of the Share repurchase, withdraw the repurchased Shares from CCASS and register the treasury Shares in the Company's name. The Company may re-deposit its treasury Shares into CCASS only if it has an imminent plan to resell these treasury Shares on the Stock Exchange and will complete such resale as soon as possible.
The Company will have appropriate measures to ensure that it would not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the relevant laws with respect to treasury Shares. These measures include, for example, an approval by the Board that (i) the Company should procure its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company should withdraw the treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in the Company's name as treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.
Holders of treasury Shares (if any) shall abstain from voting on matters that require Shareholders' approval at the Company's general meetings.
The Directors have no present specific intention as to whether any Shares repurchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate will be cancelled or held as treasury Shares. Such determination will be made by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to, among other things, prevailing market conditions, the Group's capital management needs, and the requirements of the Listing Rules and applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
