LETTER FROM THE BOARD

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Company’s announcement dated 19 November 2025 in respect of, among other things, (i) the Proposed Change of Company Name; (ii) the Proposed Abolition of the Board of Supervisors; and (iii) the Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association and the Proposed Amendments to the Related Corporate Governance Policies.

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information on, among other things, (i) the Proposed Change of Company Name; (ii) the Proposed Abolition of the Board of Supervisors; (iii) the Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association and the Proposed Amendments to the Related Corporate Governance Policies; and (iv) a notice convening the 2025 Second EGM.

2. PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Company proposes to change the Chinese name of the Company from “湖北香江電器股份有限公司” to “湖北香江電器集團股份有限公司” and the English name of the Company from “X.J. Electrics (Hu Bei) Co., Ltd” to “X.J. Electrics (Hu Bei) Group Co., Ltd”. The English stock short name and the Chinese stock short name of the Company will remain unchanged.

Reasons for the Proposed Change of Company Name

To enhance the Group’s overall competitiveness and align with the Group’s ongoing overseas expansion, the formal adoption of the “Group” designation will provide a more appropriate corporate image and identity. The Proposed Change of Company Name can better reflect the current business scale and strategic direction of the Company. Therefore, the Board is of the view that the Proposed Change of Company Name is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:

(i) the passing of the special resolutions by the Shareholders at the 2025 Second EGM approving the Proposed Change of Company Name and the Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association; and

(ii) the application for registration of change by the Company with the administrative authorities of the PRC for industrial and commercial administration, taxation and other related matters, and the obtaining of approval for registration.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effect of the Proposed Change of Company Name

The Proposed Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company's daily business operation and its financial position (including the share price of the Company and the investors will not be misled).

All existing share certificates in issue bearing the existing names of the Company will, after the Proposed Change of Company Name, continue to be evidence of the title and be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery for the same number of shares in the new name of the Company. Once the Proposed Change of Company Name has become effective, new share certificates of the Company will be issued only in the new name of the Company and the securities of the Company will be traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange under the new name. There will not be any arrangement for exchange of the existing certificates of securities for new certificates bearing the new name of the Company.

3. PROPOSED ABOLITION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Pursuant to the PRC Company Law and the Relevant Transitional Arrangements for the Implementation of Supporting Systems and Rules for the New Company Law (《關於新〈公司法〉配套制度規則實施相關過渡期安排》), and with reference to the Guidelines on the Articles of Association of Listed Companies (as amended in 2025) and other applicable laws, regulations and normative documents, and having regard to the actual circumstances of the Company, the Board proposes to abolish the Board of Supervisors subject to the consideration and by the Shareholders at the 2025 Second EGM. The functions and powers of the Board of Supervisors as stipulated under the PRC Company Law will be assumed by the Audit Committee. From the effective date of the amended Articles of Association, the existing positions of the Supervisors shall be terminated, and the rules of procedures for the Board of Supervisors' meetings of the Company shall be repealed accordingly.

The Proposed Abolition of the Board of Supervisors will enable the Company to implement the latest legal and regulatory requirements, further improve its corporate governance structure and enhance the standard of regulated operations. Prior to the approval of the resolution of the Proposed Abolition of the Board of Supervisors at the 2025 Second EGM, the fifth session of the Board of Supervisors will continue to diligently perform its supervisory duties in strict compliance with the PRC Company Law and other applicable laws, regulations and normative documents, including supervising the Company's operations, financial position, and the compliance of the Directors and senior management of the Company in the performance of their duties, so as to safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
