LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE DOMESTIC SHARES AND H SHARES

In order to provide the Board with flexibility and discretion to issue Domestic Shares and H Shares in the event that it becomes desirable to issue any such shares, a special resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant the Board the Issue General Mandate.

Pursuant to the Issue General Mandate, a general and unconditional mandate is to be granted to the Board to exercise the power of the Company to separately or concurrently to issue, allot and/ or deal with additional Domestic Shares and/or H Shares, and to make or grant offers, agreements or options which would or might require Domestic Shares and/or H Shares to be issued, allotted and/or dealt with, up to the limit of 20% of each of its existing Domestic Shares and H Shares of the Company as at the date of passing the Issue General Mandate Resolution at the AGM.

The Issue General Mandate, if approved, shall be effective until whichever is the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the Issue General Mandate Resolution;
  2. the expiration of the 12-month period following the passing of the Issue General Mandate Resolution; or
  3. the date on which the authority granted to the Board as set out in the Issue General Mandate Resolution is revoked or varied by a special resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.

The obtaining of the Issue General Mandate is in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of government and regulatory authorities of the PRC. The Issue General Mandate Resolution is set out as resolution 16 in the notice of AGM which is appended to this circular.

The Board will only exercise its power under the Issue General Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of government and regulatory authorities of the PRC and only if all necessary approvals from the CSRC and/or other relevant PRC authorities are obtained.

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE H SHARES

The PRC Company Law (to which the Company is subject) provides that a joint stock limited company incorporated in the PRC may not repurchase its shares except under any of the following circumstances: (a) in order to reduce the registered capital of the company; (b) merger with another company holding shares in the Company; (c) the shares are used for employee stock ownership plan or equity incentives; (d) a shareholder requests the Company to purchase the shares held by him/her since he/she objects to a resolution of the shareholders' meeting on the combination or division of the Company; (e) the shares are used for converting convertible corporate bonds issued by the listed company; or (f) when it is necessary for the listed company to preserve its value and shareholders' rights and interests. The Mandatory Provisions (which the Company has incorporated in its Articles

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of Association) provides that the Company may, subject to procedures of its articles of association and approval of the relevant competent authorities of the PRC, repurchase its issued shares under the following circumstances: (a) cancellation of shares in order to reduce its capital; (b) merger with another company holding shares in the Company; or (c) other circumstances permitted by the laws and regulations.

The Listing Rules permits shareholders of a PRC joint stock limited company to grant a general mandate to its directors to repurchase H shares of such company that are listed on the Stock Exchange. Such mandate is required to be given by way of a special resolution passed by shareholders at general meeting and special resolutions passed by holders of domestic shares and overseas listed foreign shares at separate class meetings.

As H Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in Hong Kong dollars and the price payable by the Company upon any repurchase of H Shares shall, therefore, be paid in Hong Kong dollars, the payment of the repurchase price is subject to the approval of SAFE or entities authorised by it. Besides, the Company shall file with the CSRC (if required), seek approval of the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC and register the changes with company registration authorities after the Company has repurchased its H Shares.

In accordance with the requirements of Article 30 of the Articles of Association, the Company will have to notify its creditors within 10 days after the date of passing the resolution to reduce registered capital of the Company and also make an announcement in newspapers within 30 days after the passing of such resolution. A creditor shall have the right to demand the Company to settle its debts or provide a corresponding guarantee within 30 days of receiving such notice from the Company or, in the case of a creditor who has not received any notice, within 45 days of the date of the announcement.

In order to provide more flexibility to the Directors to repurchase H Shares, a special resolution will be proposed at the AGM and the Class Meetings to grant to the Board the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate.

Pursuant to the H Share Repurchase General Mandate, the H Shares which may be repurchased shall not exceed 10% of the total number of H Shares in issue and having not been repurchased of the Company as at the date of passing of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate Resolution.

The H Shares Repurchase General Mandate will be conditional upon the special resolution for approving the granting of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate being passed at each of the AGM and the Class Meetings. Such H Shares Repurchase General Mandate, if approved, will lapse at the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate Resolution at the AGM and the Class Meetings;

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the expiration of the 12-month period following the passing of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate Resolution at the AGM and the Class Meetings; or
  2. the date on which the authority conferred to the Board by the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate Resolution is revoked or varied by a special resolution of shareholders at a general meeting, or a special resolution of shareholders at their respective class meeting.

The obtaining of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate is in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of government and regulatory authorities of the PRC. The H Shares Repurchase General Mandate Resolution is set out as resolution 17 in the notice of AGM and resolution 1 in the notice of the H Shareholders' Class Meeting and the notice of the Domestic Shareholders' Class Meeting, respectively, which are appended to this circular.

An explanatory statement containing information regarding the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

In accordance with the Listing Rules, this appendix serves as the explanatory statement to provide you with requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolutions to be proposed at the AGM and the Class Meetings for the granting of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate to the Board.

SECURITIES REPURCHASE MANDATE

Reasons for Repurchasing H Shares

The Board considered that the repurchase of the H Shares would be beneficial to and in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. It can strengthen the investors' confidence in the Company and promote a positive effect on maintaining the Company's reputation in the capital market. Such repurchases will only be made when the Board believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholder as a whole.

Registered Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the Company was RMB4,610,000,000 comprising 1,771,000,000 H Shares with a nominal value of RMB1.00 each and 2,839,000,000 Domestic Shares with a nominal value of RMB1.00 each.

Exercise of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate

Subject to the passing of the special resolution 17 as set out in the notice of AGM and the special resolution 1 as set out in the notice of H Shareholders' Class Meeting and the notice of the Domestic Shareholder's Class Meeting, respectively, the Board will be granted the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate until the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate Resolution at the AGM and the Class Meetings;
  2. the expiration of the 12-month period following the passing of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate Resolution at the AGM and the Class Meetings; or
  3. the date on which the authority conferred to the Board by the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate Resolution is revoked or varied by a special resolution of shareholders at a general meeting, or a special resolution of shareholders at their respective class meeting.

(hereinafter referred to as the ''Relevant Period'').

The exercise of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate is subject to relevant approval of and/or filings with the relevant regulatory authorities as required by the laws, rules and regulations of the PRC being obtained and/or carried out.

- 11 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The exercise in full of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate (on the basis of 1,771,000,000 H Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no H Shares will be allotted and issued or repurchased by the Company on or prior to the date of the AGM and the Class Meetings) would result in a maximum of 177,100,000 H Shares being repurchased by the Company during the Relevant Period, being the maximum of 10% of the total H Shares in issue and having not been repurchased as at the date of passing the relevant resolutions.

Funding of Repurchases

In repurchasing its H Shares, the Company intends to apply funds from the Company's internal resources (which may include surplus funds and retained profits) legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

The Company is empowered by its Articles of Association to repurchase its H Shares. Any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose. Under PRC laws, H Shares so repurchased should be cancelled and the Company's registered capital should be reduced by amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the H Shares so cancelled. The Company may not purchase securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

GENERAL

The Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels of the Company. The number of H Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Board at the relevant time having regarded to the circumstances then prevailing, in the best interests of the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases under the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

If as a result of a share repurchase by the Company, a substantial shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company or further become obligated to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CNOOC whose interest in the Company is notifiable under Part XV of the SFO, held directly or indirectly approximately 59.41% of the Company's total registered capital. In the event that the Board exercises in full the power to repurchase H Shares in accordance with the terms of the H Shares Repurchase General Mandate proposed at the AGM and the Class Meetings, the total interests of CNOOC in the total registered capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 61.79%.
