AND

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

This supplemental circular should be read together with the Circular which contains, inter alia, the AGM Notice and the information relating to the re-election of retiring Directors at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this supplemental circular is to provide you with (a) the Supplemental AGM Notice; and (b) further information relating to (i) the changes in the resolutions to consider and approve the proposed re-election of retiring Directors; and (ii) the special arrangements about completion and submission of the Second Proxy Form.

PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF ADDITIONAL RETIRING DIRECTORS

Subsequent to the despatch of the Circular and as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 18 August 2020, Dr. Wang Yu (''Dr. Wang'') and Dr. Li Yao (''Dr. Li'') were appointed as non-executive Directors with effect from 18 August 2020. Pursuant to article 86(3) of the Articles, any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Director shall hold office until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting. By virtue of article 86(3) of the Articles, each of Dr. Wang and Dr. Li will retire from office at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election as a non-executive Director at the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience of the two additional retiring Directors, having regard to the Nomination Policy and the Board Diversity Policy of the Company. Accordingly, the Nomination Committee has formed the view that Dr. Wang and Dr. Li will be able to contribute to the Board and recommended them to the Board for re-election. The Board has endorsed the recommendations of the Nomination Committee and recommended Dr. Wang and Dr. Li to stand for election at the Annual General Meeting.

Details of the additional retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting are set out in the Appendix I to this supplemental circular.

SUPPLEMENTAL AGM NOTICE AND SECOND PROXY FORM

Since the AGM Notice and the First Proxy Form sent together with the Circular do not contain the proposed resolutions in relation to the re-election of Dr. Wang and Dr. Li as non- executive Directors as set out in this supplemental circular, a Supplemental AGM Notice is set out on pages 11 to 12 of this supplemental circular and the Second Proxy Form is enclosed with this supplemental circular to include such proposed resolutions. The Second Proxy Form for the AGM is also published on the websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.haotianhk.com).

Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual General Meeting, please complete and return the Second Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the Annual General Meeting or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) (the ''Closing Time''). Completion and return of the Second Proxy Form will not preclude you from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) should you so wish. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, voting by poll is required for any resolution put to vote at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A Shareholder who has not yet lodged the First Proxy Form with the share registrar is requested to lodge the Second Proxy Form if he/she wishes to appoint proxy(ies) to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting on his/her behalf. In this case, the First Proxy Form should not be lodged with the share registrar.

A Shareholder who has already lodged the First Proxy Form with the share registrar should take note of the following:

  1. subject to (iii) below, if no Second Proxy Form is lodged with the share registrar, the First Proxy Form will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by him/her if correctly completed and signed. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder shall be required to vote in such manner as he/she may be directed under the First Proxy Form and, in respect of the resolutions for the proposed re-election of Dr. Wang and Dr. Li as non-executive Directors as set out in the Supplemental AGM Notice and the Second Proxy Form, the proxy will be entitled to vote at his/her discretion or to abstain from voting on such resolutions;
  2. if the Second Proxy Form is lodged with the share registrar before the Closing Time, the Second Proxy Form, if correctly completed and signed, shall revoke and supersede the First Proxy Form previously lodged by him/her. The Second Proxy Form will be treated as a valid form of proxy lodged by the Shareholder;
  3. if the Second Proxy Form is lodged with the share registrar after the Closing Time, or if lodged before the Closing Time but is incorrectly completed, the proxy appointment under the Second Proxy Form will be invalid. The proxy so appointed by the Shareholder under the First Proxy Form, if correctly completed, will be entitled to vote in the manner as mentioned in (i) above as if no Second Proxy Form was lodged with the share registrar.

Accordingly, Shareholders are advised to complete the Second Proxy Form carefully and lodge the Second Proxy Form with the share registrar before the Closing Time.

VOTING BY POLL AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Pursuant to Rule 13.39 of the Listing Rules and article 66 of the Articles, any votes of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll.
