PROPOSALS FOR

  3. GRANT OF THE SHARE ISSUE MANDATE; AND
  4. EXTENSION OF THE SHARE ISSUE MANDATE; AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Circular is to provide you with the 2021 AGM Notice and further information on the resolutions to be proposed at the 2021 AGM to approve (i) the re-election of the retiring Directors; (ii) the grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate; (iii) the grant of the Share Issue Mandate; and (iv) extension of the Share Issue Mandate.

2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were four executive Directors, namely Mr. Liu Heqiang, Ms. Yang Meiyu, Mr. Ren Xiaowei (''Mr. Ren'') and Mr. Shi Janson Bing; four non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Zuo Kun, Mr. Li Yao Min, Mr. Wei Dongzheng and Mr. Wang Jiangang (''Mr. Wang''); and four INEDs, namely Mr. Henry Tan Song Kok (''Mr. Tan''), Mr. Kong Siu Chee, Mr. Zhang Hao and Mr. E Hock Yap (''Mr. Yap'').

Pursuant to Articles 86(1) and 86(2) of the Articles, Mr. Ren, Mr. Wang, Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap will retire from office by rotation and being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the 2021 AGM.

Pursuant to the code provision set out in the paragraph A.4.3 of Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, any further appointment of INED serving more than 9 years should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by Shareholders. As at the date of 2021 AGM, Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap as the INEDs serving on the Board for more than 9 years. However, they have never held any executive or management position in the Group nor have they throughout such period been under the employment of any member of the Group. The Directors noted the positive contributions of Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap to the development of the Company's strategy and policies through independent, constructive and informed contributions supported by their skill, expertise and qualification and from their active participation at meetings. Each of Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap had given his annual confirmation of his independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules to the Company and the Nomination Committee has assessed and reviewed each of the annual written confirmation of independence of the INEDs based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that all the INEDs including Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap remain independent. Hence, the Board considers that the long services of Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap would not affect their exercise of independent judgment and therefore recommends Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap to be re-elected as the INEDs at the 2021 AGM.

Further, the Nomination Committee has also assessed and evaluated the performance of each of the retiring Directors during the Year based on the nomination policy of the Company, which was disclosed in the annual report of the Company and found their performance satisfactory. The Nomination Committee also considered that the experiences, skills and other perspectives of Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap as at out in Appendix I to this Circular can bring further contributions to the Board and its diversity. Therefore, upon the nomination by the Nomination Committee, the Board has recommended that the retiring Directors, namely Mr. Ren, Mr. Wang, Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap, stand for re-election as Directors at the 2021 AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of Mr. Ren, Mr. Wang, Mr. Tan and Mr. Yap abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders. The Board believes that the continuous appointment of the retiring Directors contributes to the stability and diversity of the Board.

The particulars required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules in relation to the retiring Directors proposed for re-election are set out in Appendix I to this Circular.

3. GRANT OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The Company's existing mandate to buy back Shares was approved by its then Shareholders at the 2020 AGM. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to buy back Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM.

At the 2021 AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be given the Share Buy-back Mandate. Under the Share Buy-back Mandate, the maximum number of Shares that the Company may buy back shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution in relation thereof. The Company's authority is restricted to buy back the Shares on the market in accordance with the Listing Rules. The mandate allows the Company to buy back Shares only during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required by the BVI Act, applicable laws or the Company's memorandum and Articles to be held; and (iii) the date on which the authority set out in the resolution is revoked or varied by way of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

An 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 proposed ordinary resolution for the grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate at the 2021 AGM in accordance with the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix II of this Circular.

4. GRANT AND EXTENSION OF THE SHARE ISSUE MANDATE

The Company's existing mandate to issue Shares was approved by its then Shareholders at the 2020 AGM. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to issue Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM.

At the 2021 AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed that the Directors be given the Share Issue Mandate in order to ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors to issue up to 1,945,249,283 new Shares, being the Shares not exceeding in aggregate 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution (assuming that no further Shares are issued and allotted or bought back and cancelled by the Company after the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the 2021 AGM).

In addition, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed to extend the Share Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of such Shares to be bought back under the Share Buy- back Mandate.

7. VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, the chairman of the 2021 AGM will demand for a poll for all resolutions put forward at the 2021 AGM and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to provide you with certain information relating to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 9,726,246,417 issued Shares. Subject to the grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate by the Shareholders at the 2021 AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back and cancelled prior to the 2021 AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back up to a maximum of 972,624,641 Shares, representing not more than 10% of the total issued Shares as at the date of the 2021 AGM.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate authorising the Company to purchase, redeem or acquire its Shares would give the Company the flexibility to undertake purchases of its Shares up to the 10% limit described at any time during the period when the Share Buy-back Mandate is in force. The rationale for the Company to undertake the purchase of its issued Shares is as follows:

  1. in managing the business of the Group, the management of the Company will strive to increase Shareholders' value by improving, amongst other things, the ROE of the Company. In addition to growth and expansion of the business, purchases of the Shares may be considered as one of the ways through which the ROE of the Company may be enhanced;
  2. in line with the international practice, the Share Buy-back Mandate will provide the Company with greater flexibility in managing its funds and maximising returns to Shareholders. To the extent that the Company has surplus funds which are in excess of its financial needs, taking into account its growth and expansion plans, the Share Buy-back Mandate will facilitate the return of excess cash and surplus funds to Shareholders in an expedient, effective and cost-efficient manner by way of purchasing its issued Shares at prices which are viewed as favourable;
  3. the Share Buy-back Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to undertake purchases of its Shares at any time, subject to market conditions, during the period when the Share Buy-back Mandate is in force;
  4. share purchases may help mitigate short-term market volatility (by way of stabilising the supply and demand of the issued Shares), offset the effects of short- term speculation, support the fundamental value of the issued Shares and bolster Shareholders' confidence; and

- 13 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

  1. all things being equal, purchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate will result in a lower number of issued Shares being used for the purpose of computing EPS and BVS. Therefore, share purchases under the Share Buy-back Mandate will improve the Company's EPS and BVS, which in turn is expected to have a positive impact on the fundamental value of its issued Shares.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

In purchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such

purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles and the applicable laws of the BVI and the Listing Rules for such purpose.

The BVI Act does not specify the funds out of which a company incorporated in the BVI as a business company may use to pay the purchase price. Such company may purchase its own shares so long as it is in accordance with the provisions of the BVI Act or such other provisions for the purchase as may be specified in the memorandum of association or articles of association of the company, and the directors of the company are satisfied on reasonable grounds that the company will, immediately after the purchase, redemption or acquisition, satisfy the solvency test. The BVI Act provides for certain situations in which the solvency test need not be satisfied. For instance, where the company redeems the shares pursuant to a right of a shareholder to have his shares redeemed or exchanged for money or other property of the company.

In purchasing Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Directors will principally consider the availability of internal resources. There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's annual report for the Year in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed purchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back 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 which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the SEHK that so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and any applicable laws of the BVI. None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Share Buy-back Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

6. TAKEOVERS CODE IMPLICATIONS

If on the exercise by the Directors of the Company's power to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or 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 Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

According to the register of interests in Shares and short positions maintained by the Company under section 336 of the SFO, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders were interested or deemed to be interested in 5% or more the issued Shares:

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

Notes:

  1. CDBIH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDBC and CDBC, in turn, is wholly owned by CDB. Both CDB and CDBC are, therefore, deemed under Part XV of the SFO to be interested in the 5,347,921,071 Shares held by CDBIH.
  2. Pursuant to Part XV of the SFO, Mr. Shi is deemed to be interested in a total of 1,474,461,800 Shares for the following reasons: (i) Mr. Shi holds 6,104,938 Shares directly; and (ii) Mr. Shi is deemed to be interested in 1,468,356,862 Shares held by SREI by virtue of the fact that he and his wife, Ms. Si Xiao Dong together beneficially own 81% of the issued share capital of SREI as a controlling shareholder.
  3. Jia Yun acquired the security interests of 1,027,849,803 Shares from SREI on 28 December 2017. Jia Yun is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiabo, which in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiashun. Jiashun is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiasheng and Jiasheng is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiaxin. Jiaxin is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Minsheng Jiaye, which in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Minsheng. All of Jia Yun, Jiabo, Jiashun, Jiasheng, Jiaxin, China Minsheng Jiaye and China Minsheng are, therefore, deemed under Part XV of the SFO to be interested in the 1,027,849,803 Shares of security interest held by Jia Yun.

On the basis that the shareholdings held by the Shareholders named above and the number of Shares in issue would remain the same, an exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate in full will not result in any of them becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

Based on the above, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any buy back of the Shares made under the Share Buy-back Mandate. Assuming that there is no change in the issued Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of buy-back, the exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate whether in whole or in part will result in less than 25% of the total issued Shares being held by the public. As required by Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules, the 25% minimum public float must be maintained by the Company. The Directors do not intend to buy back Shares which would result in a public shareholding of less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

7. SHARES BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not purchased any Shares (whether on the SEHK or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
