Pursuant to article 81 of the Articles, the Board has the power from time to time at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director so appointed by the Board shall hold office only until the next general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election (but shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at such meeting). Accordingly, Mr. HE Xi ("Mr. HE") and Mr. ZHOU ("Mr. ZHOU") Jie who were appointed as Directors on 28 July 2020 and 12 April 2021 respectively, shall retire from their office.

Pursuant to article 82 of the Articles, at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not greater than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that notwithstanding anything therein, each Director shall be subject to retirement from office by rotation at least once in every three years. Accordingly, Mr. KWONG Che Keung, Gordon ("Mr. KWONG") shall retire from his office.

Mr. KWONG has informed the Company that he will not stand for re-election and will therefore retire as an independent non-executive Director at the conclusion of the AGM as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 22 April 2021. Accordingly, Mr. LI Fang ("Mr. LI") who has been the next longest in office since his last re-appointment shall retire from his office.

The remuneration and nomination committee of the Company (the "RNC"), after having reviewed the profile of the retiring Directors who have offered themselves for re-appointment at the AGM to consider their suitability in light of the structure, size and composition of the Board, and the applicable Listing Rules requirements, nominated the above-mentioned Directors to the Board for it to recommend to the Shareholders for re-election as Directors at the AGM. Mr. LI who is the chairman and present at the meeting of the RNC, has abstained from voting at the meeting of the RNC when his nomination was being considered. The Board accepted the nomination by the RNC and recommended the above-mentioned Directors to stand for election by the Shareholders at the AGM.

The nominations were made in accordance with the nomination policy of the Company and the objective criteria (including without limitation, character and integrity, professional qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience, and potential time commitment for the Board and/or committee responsibilities), with due regard for the structure and size of the Board and the benefits of diversity as set out under the board diversity policy of the Company. The RNC had also taken into account the respective contributions of the above-mentioned Directors to the Board and their commitments to their roles.

Mr. LI has served the Company for more than nine years. In recommending him to stand for re-election as an independent non-executive Director, the RNC has considered the following backgrounds and attributes of the nominee concerned:

  1. Mr. LI has intense experience in legal and corporate governance, and is familiar with management of listed public companies in Hong Kong which enables him to provide valuable insights and contribute to the diversity of skills and perspectives of the Board, and the Board believes that he is able to exercise his professional judgement and draw upon his strong legal, corporate governance and commercial knowledge for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, in particular, the independent shareholders of the Company;

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Mr. LI has demonstrated great ability to provide an independent, balanced and objective view to the Company's affairs which contributes positively to the formulation of the Company's strategy and policies;
  2. Mr. LI has not had and does not have any executive or management roles or functions in the Group; and
  3. Mr. LI does not hold any Shares.

The RNC considered that in view of his educational background, professional knowledge and experience as mentioned above and set out in Appendix I to this circular, Mr. LI as an independent non-executive Director will bring valuable perspectives, knowledge, skills and experiences to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and his appointment will contribute to the diversity (in particular in terms of professional knowledge) of the Board appropriate to the requirements of the Company's business.

During his years of appointment, he has not involved in the daily management of the Company nor in any relationships which would interfere with his independent judgement. Taking into consideration of his actual contributions, the RNC considered that his long service would not affect his exercise of independent judgment and was satisfied that Mr. LI has the required integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of independent non-executive Director.

The Company has also received from Mr. LI a written confirmation of his independence which has met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Taking into consideration of his independent scope of works, his service commitment and performance demonstrated in the past years and the recommendation from the RNC, the Board considered Mr. LI remain independent under the Listing Rules notwithstanding the length of his service and Mr. LI would be able to continue to devote sufficient time to the Board. Accordingly, Mr. LI shall be subject to retirement by rotation and re-election by way of a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

The above-mentioned Directors, being eligible, shall offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, the details of the retiring Directors are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement required to be sent to Shareholders under the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Buy-back Mandate to be granted to the Board.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue of the Company was 9,806,886,321.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution in respect of the granting of the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 980,688,632 Shares (representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of granting of the Buy-back Mandate).

2. REASON FOR BUY-BACKS

The Board believes that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Board believes that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors have no present intention to buy-back any Shares.

3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

In buying back the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with Articles, the laws of Hong Kong and the Listing Rules. Buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection, including funds otherwise available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Board does not propose to exercise the 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 its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Board, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. UNDERTAKING

The Board has undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, it will exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Buy-back Mandate if such resolution is approved by the Shareholders.

No other connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, nor have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

APPENDIX III EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

6. TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to buy back Shares pursuant to the 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 thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, SPIC through its direct and indirect interests in CPDL, CPI Holding and SPIC Finance HK held 5,887,793,513 Shares representing approximately 60.04% of the total number of Shares in issue. On the basis that no Shares are issued or bought back prior to the date of the AGM, in the event that the Board exercises in full the power to buy back Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM, the interests of SPIC in the Shares would be increased to approximately 66.71% of the total number of Shares in issue. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Board is not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy-backs made under the Buy-back Mandate.

7. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not bought back any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
