An explanatory statement contains all the information necessary to enable the Shareholders to make informed decisions on whether to vote for or against the Repurchase Mandate as required by the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the 2020 AGM, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders granting the existing issue mandate to the Directors to issue Shares not more than 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of such resolution. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2021 AGM to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with, otherwise than pursuant to an issue of Shares as scrip dividends pursuant to the Articles of Association, additional Shares with an aggregate number not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the passing of such resolution. Besides, where Shares are issued under the Issue Mandate for cash consideration, they shall not be issued at a discount of more than 10% to the average closing price of the Shares in the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the earlier of (i) the date of announcement of the proposed issue of Shares; and (ii) the date of the agreement involving the proposed issue of Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Issue Mandate, based on 1,208,500,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorized to issue up to 120,850,000 Shares (being 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) and the Issue Mandate will remain in effect until the earliest 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 to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (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.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the 2020 AGM, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders granting the existing repurchase mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares not more than 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of such resolution to the Company. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM.

4

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2021 AGM to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares subject to the maximum number of Shares of up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of passing of such resolution. The Repurchase Mandate, if granted, will remain in effect until the earliest 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 to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (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.

4. EXTENSION OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the 2020 AGM, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders to extend the existing issue mandate granted to the Directors by a number representing the aggregate number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the existing repurchase mandate.

At the 2021 AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to extend, conditional upon the passing of the resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Issue Mandate by the number representing the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate provided that such extended number shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company at the date of passing the resolution for approving the Issue Mandate. Where the Shares so issued pursuant to this extension of the Issue Mandate are for cash consideration, it will also subject to the same restriction on discount of not more than 10% to the average closing price of the Shares in the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the earlier of (i) the date of announcement of the proposed issue of Shares; and (ii) the date of the agreement involving the proposed issue of Shares.

5. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules to be given to all the Shareholders relating to the resolution to be proposed at the 2021 AGM authorising the Repurchase Mandate.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company comprises 1,208,500,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to 120,850,000 Shares (being 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) during the period up to the next annual general meeting in 2022 or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands or the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchases when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the value of the net assets and/or earnings per Share.

3. IMPACT ON THE WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

As compared with the financial position of the Company as disclosed in its most recent published audited consolidated accounts as at 31 December 2020, the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

The Directors recognized that the repurchasing of Shares must be made by funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Act of the Cayman Islands as amended from time to time (the "Laws") provide that a share repurchase by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares repurchased or conditionally or unconditionally to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all 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 the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, 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 that they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and the regulations set out in the Articles of Association.

7. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Pan Benjamin Zhengmin ("Mr. Pan"), an executive Director, beneficially owns 68,262,162 Shares. Mr. Pan is deemed to be interested in (i) 51,439,440 Shares which are beneficially owned by Silver Island Limited, a company wholly-owned by Mr. Pan, (ii) 262,820,525 Shares which are beneficially owned by Ms. Wu, the wife of Mr. Pan, and (iii) 106,806,278 Shares, 4,738,844 Shares and 1,250,403 Shares which are held through discretionary trusts respectively under the SFO. Ms. Wu, as a non-executive Director, is deemed to be interested in (i) 120,952,005 Shares which are owned by Mr. Pan, the husband of Ms. Wu, (ii) 134,828,594 Shares which are beneficially owned by Sapphire Hill Holdings Limited and 127,991,931 Shares which are beneficially owned by K&G International Limited, all of which are companies wholly-owned by Ms. Wu and (iii) 106,806,278 Shares and 4,738,844 Shares which are held through discretionary trusts respectively under the SFO. For the purpose of the Takeovers Code, Mr. Pan and Ms. Wu and their respective associates are concert parties and are taken to have interests in a total of 495,317,652 Shares representing approximately 40.98% of the issued share capital of the Company.

9

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

In the event that the Directors shall exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate which is proposed to be granted by the Shareholders and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the 2021 AGM the aggregate interests of both Mr. Pan and Ms. Wu and their respective associates would be increased to approximately 45.54% of the issued Shares. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. In any event, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent which will trigger the mandatory offer requirement pursuant to the rules of the Takeovers Code.

The Company will not purchase Shares if that purchase would result in the number of Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the Company's issued Shares.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

8. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company did not repurchase any of its Shares during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

9. SHARE PRICES
