LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for the Reduction of Share Premium, the Accumulated Losses Set Off and the Distribution

The Board considers it appropriate to make the Distribution to repay the Shareholders' continuous support.

The Company is an investment holding company incorporated in Bermuda, the major incomes of which are principally dividends declared and paid by its operating subsidiaries. The Directors understand that it is prohibited under the Companies Act and the Bye-Laws from declaring dividends to the Shareholders when the Company has accumulated losses and no profits for the financial period. The Directors consider that the Reduction of Share Premium and the Accumulated Losses Set Off will allow the Company to eliminate its accumulated losses, thus providing more flexibility for future dividend distribution plans.

The Directors consider that the current losses position of the Company on an unconsolidated basis is temporary. The Company's consolidated financial position remains sound with satisfactory earnings during the six months ended 30 June 2019, and its operating subsidiaries in the PRC have sufficient reserves for profit distribution. Having considered the current financial position of the Group, in particular the Group's unaudited profit of RMB50,143,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Directors consider it appropriate to make certain distributions to the Shareholders. The Directors consider that the Reduction of Share Premium, the Accumulated Losses Set Off and the Distribution are beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

SGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, the resolution set out in the SGM Notice will be decided by poll. An announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the SGM in the manner prescribed under the Listing Rules. The SGM Notice is set out on pages 9 to 11 of this circular.
