GRANT OF SHARE AWARDS PURSUANT TO THE SHARE AWARD SCHEME

Reference is made to the announcement of ANTA Sports Products Limited (the "Company") dated 19 October 2018 (the "Announcement") in relation to the adoption of the share award scheme at the same date. Unless otherwise defined in this announcement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement unless the context requires otherwise.

The Board is pleased to announce that on 5 November 2019, the Company has granted an aggregate of 11,170,000 Awarded Shares to 124 Selected Employees (the "Grantee") of which 1,000,000 Awarded Shares have been granted to Mr. Lai Shixian ("Mr. Lai"), an executive Director of the Company. The grant of Awarded Shares to Mr. Lai has been unanimously approved by all members of the remuneration committee of the Company and the Board (except Mr. Lai who has abstained from voting on the board resolution approving the grant of Awarded Shares to himself).

Mr. Lai, being the executive Director, is a connected person of the Company, and the grant of Awarded Shares to Mr. Lai constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the grant of Awarded Shares to Mr. Lai forms part of the remuneration package under his service contract with the Company, such grant is exempt from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.73(6) and Rule 14A.95 of the Listing Rules.

Save as disclosed above, none of the other Grantees is a Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective associates, pursuant to the Scheme.
