The Board has adopted the following policy with regard to nomination of Directors:

  1. OBJECTIVE
    1. The nomination policy (the "Policy") aims to set out the approach to nominations of the nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee"). The Nomination Committee is committed to ensuring that the board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of the Company has a balance of skills, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of the Company's business.
    2. The Nomination Committee shall identify, consider and recommend suitable individuals to the Board to consider and to make recommendations to the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") for election of Directors at a general meeting either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board.
    3. The Nomination Committee shall make recommendations to the Board on the appointment or re-appointment of Directors and succession planning (the "Succession Planning") for Directors, in particular, the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company.
    4. The Nomination Committee may, as it considers appropriate, nominate a number of candidates more than the number of Directors to be appointed or re-appointed at a general meeting, or the number of casual vacancies to be filled.
    5. The ultimate responsibility for selection and appointment of Directors rests with the entire Board.
  2. SELECTION CRITERIA
    1. The factors listed below would be used as reference by the Nomination Committee in assessing the suitability and the potential contribution to the Board of a proposed candidate:

    4. diversity in all aspects, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, ethnicity, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service.

3. NOMINATION PROCEDURES

  1. The secretary of the Nomination Committee shall call a meeting of the Nomination Committee, and invite nominations of candidates from the Board, if any, for consideration by the Nomination Committee prior to its meeting.
  2. The Nomination Committee shall nominate candidates for the consideration and recommendation of the Board. The Nomination Committee may propose candidates who are not nominated by the Board. The Board shall have the final decision on all matters in relation to its nomination of any candidates to stand for election at a general meeting.

The candidate nominated by the Board to stand for election at a general meeting (the "Board Candidate") will submit the necessary personal information, together with his/her written consent to be elected as a Director and to the publication of his/her personal information for the purpose of or in relation to his/her standing for election as a Director. The Nomination Committee may request the Board Candidate to provide additional information and documents, if considered necessary.

information of the Board Candidate as required by the applicable laws, rules and regulations, inter alia, name, brief biographies (including qualifications and relevant experience), independence, proposed remuneration.

  1. Until the issue of the Shareholder Circular, the Board Candidate shall not assume that he/she has been nominated by the Board to stand for election at the general meeting.
  2. A Shareholder can serve a notice (the "Notice") to the company secretary of the Company (the "Company Secretary") within the Lodgement Period to propose another person (the "Shareholder Candidate", and together with the Board Candidate, the "Candidate") other than the Board Candidate for election as a Director.

The Nomination Committee had assessed the independence of each of Mr. Xu Gang, Mr. Lo Chi Chiu and Mr. Li Jiatong, the independent non-executive Directors who have offered themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting based on the independence criteria and are satisfied that each of them remains independent. In addition, the Nomination Committee had evaluated their respective performance and is of the view that each of them has provided valuable contributions to the Company and has demonstrated his abilities to provide independent, balanced and objective view to the Company's affairs.

The Nomination Committee is also of the view that Mr. Xu Gang, Mr. Lo Chi Chiu and Mr. Li Jiatong would bring to the Board their own perspectives, skills and experiences, as further described in their respective biography in the Appendix I to this circular.

- 17 -

APPENDIX I DETAILS OF DIRECTORS PROPOSED FOR RE-ELECTION

Based on the board diversity policy adopted by the Company, the Nomination Committee considers that the re-appointments of Mr. Xu Gang, Mr. Lo Chi Chiu and Mr. Li Jiatong can contribute to the diversity of the Board with reference including but not limited to their cultural and educational background, professional qualifications and skills (including knowledge and experience), reputation for integrity and potential commitment in respect of available time.

Therefore, the Board, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, has nominated each of Mr. Xu Gang, Mr. Lo Chi Chiu and Mr. Li Jiatong for re-election as an independent non-executive Director at the Annual General Meeting. Also, each of the candidates for independent non-executive Director did not have any relationship with any Director, senior management or substantial shareholder or controlling shareholder of the Company nor had any interests in the Shares within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO as at the Latest Practicable Date. Moreover, each of the candidates for independent non-executive Directors has confirmed his independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Board also considers that each candidate for independent non-executive Director meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the terms of the guidelines.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

  1. the shares to be repurchased by a company must be fully paid-up;
  2. the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules; and
  3. all on market repurchase of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchase, and a copy of such resolution together with the necessary documentation have been delivered to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,018,362,000 Shares of nominal value of US$0.01 each. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 101,836,200 Shares which represent 10 per cent of the issued share capital of the Company during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

3. REASONS AND FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

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 the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the

- 19 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law. The amount of premium over the par value of the Shares payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Company's Shares are repurchased in the manner provided for in the Cayman Companies Law.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors consider that if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 August 2019, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Debo Education Investments Holdings Limited (德博教育 投資控股有限公司) ("Debo") holds 750,000,000 Shares. Since Debo is directly owned by Mr. Liu as to 50% and Ms. Chen as to 50%, and Mr. Liu and Ms. Chen are spouses of each other, Mr. Liu and Ms. Chen are deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by Debo by virtue of the SFO.

- 20 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the interests of the abovementioned parties will be increased to approximately 81.83% of the issued share capital of the Company, and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25 per cent (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued shares of the Company would be in public hands. The Directors do not have intention to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND THE COMPANY'S CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company since the Listing Date to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
