PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE SGM

In view of the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the SGM to protect attending Shareholders of the Company, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  1. compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee at the entrance of the SGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the SGM venue or be required to leave the SGM venue;
  2. the Company will require all attendees to wear surgical face masks before they are permitted to attend, and during their attendance of the SGM at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats;
  3. no refreshment will be served at the SGM;
  4. no corporate gift will be distributed at the SGM; and

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the SGM venue or require any person to leave the SGM venue in order to ensure the safety of other attendees at the SGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and in accordance with recent guidelines for prevention and control of the spread of novel coronavirus, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the SGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 29 July 2020, the Lenders agreed to waive a default interest of HK$430.7 million which represented 50% of the outstanding default interest payable from 19 October 2018 to 2 September 2019 which was triggered by the failure to maintain LTV Ratio under the Original Facility Agreement. The waiver of 50% default interest was determined as part of the overall negotiations between the Borrower and the Lenders during the Negotiation Period. The Seller's entitlement of the remaining 50% of the outstanding default interest from 19 October 2018 to 2 September 2019 is HK$37.1 million as at the Maturity Date.

THE DEED OF THE CALL OPTION

Set out below are the principal terms of the Deed of Call Option:

Date

29 July 2020

Parties

  1. China Tonghai Holdings, as a one of the Grantee;
  2. Other Lenders, as Grantees;

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Huge Auto, as the Grantor;
  2. HGH; and
  3. BOCI Leveraged & Structured Finance Limited, as the Agent.

Option Shares

The Option Shares represent 100% of the issued share capital of CGA. CGA holds 100% equity interest in CGA Mauritius, which hold 1,621,932,099 shares of the PRC Listco, representing approximately 19.88% of the total issued shares of PRC Listco as at the Maturity Date. Based on the average closing price for the five business days immediately preceding the date of this circular, the market value of the shares of the PRC Listco held by CGA Mauritius was approximately RMB5,170,719,532.

Option period

The Grantees shall have the right to exercise the Call Option within two years after the Deed of Call Option becoming effective (the ''Call Option Period''), provided that the Borrower fails to irrevocably pay all outstanding amount owed by the Borrower under the Amendment and Restatement Agreement on the Maturity Date in full.

Exercise price

On the exercise of the Call Option by the Grantees, the Grantees shall be bound to purchase and the Grantor shall become bound to transfer the Option Shares then held by the Grantor to the Grantees, at a consideration (the ''Exercise Price'') payable by each Grantee, equal to the corresponding Participation Percentage of the aggregate amount of outstanding amounts owed by the Borrower and the Obligors payable to such Grantee and the Agent.

Following the exercise of the Call Option, the Exercise Price payable by such Grantee under the Call Option shall be set off automatically against the corresponding Participation Percentage of the total outstanding amount of the Loan Facility owed by the Borrower and the Obligors payable to such Grantee and the Agent, and no further amount is payable by the Grantee to the Grantor as the Exercise Price of the Call Option.

For any transfer of the Option Shares to each of the Grantees pursuant to the Call Option, any declared but unpaid dividends to which the Grantor is otherwise entitled in respect of the Option Shares subject to the Call Option shall be transferred with the Option Shares, and no additional consideration is payable by any Grantee for such declared but unpaid dividends on or after completion of the transfer of the Option Shares.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Exercise of the Call Option

Under the Deed of Call Option, the exercise of the Call Option must be in full but not in part by all the Grantees and the exercise of the Call Option is on joint but not singly basis. In particular, a majority consent of 80% among the Lenders is a condition for the Seller to exercise the Call Option. Apart from the above mentioned condition, there is no other condition required for the Seller to exercise the Call Option.

Lapse of the Call Option

The Call Option may only be exercised once and the Call Option not exercised shall lapse and cease to have any further effect on the expiration of the Call Option Period.

CREDIT ASSESSMENT

Our Group has performed an internal assessment to assess credit and risk management of the extension of the Loan and the exercise of the Call Option. Our Group has closely monitored the PRC Listco including the news, LTV Ratio and the share price performance. As a normal process for credit assessment and risk management of extension of the Loan, an internal committee consisted of four senior management members of the Group and a member from the risk department, has considered the relevant information including, among other things, the background of the Borrower, its repayment history including several payments made during the Negotiation Period which reduced the principal amount and hence lowered the respective risk associated to the Sale Loan and the value of the shares of the PRC Listco indirectly held by the Grantor which covers the Sale Loan.

Assuming the Call Option is exercised by the Grantees, the maximum of 1,621,932,099 shares of CGA (which indirectly hold 1,621,932,099 shares of PRC Listco) held by the Grantor will be transferred to the Lenders, of which 139,581,075 shares of CGA will be allocated to the Group based on the Participation Percentage. Base on the average closing price for the five business days immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the value of the Options Shares represents RMB444,984,467, equivalent to approximately HK$533,981,360.

The Loan attributable to the Seller represents the Participation Percentage of approximately 8.61% of the total outstanding principal amount to all Lenders on the Maturity Date. Since the Seller is a minority lender, its decision to vote for or against the exercise of the Call Option has no casting effect and not influential to the final decision of the Lenders. The position of the Seller under the Call Option is passive and the right to exercise is not at the Seller's sole discretion.

After the Maturity Date, the Seller had several rounds of discussions with the Borrower and other Lenders and no agreement was reached in relation to the restructuring or the Loan Facility or a repayment plan. In this regard, the Seller together with the Lenders agreed that the Loan Facility will not be extended. In addition, the Lenders are unable to obtain a majority consent of 80% among themselves to vote for the exercise of the Call Option. Therefore, the Group cannot recover the Sale Loan through exercising the Call

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Option and hence the sale of the Option Shares and therefore faces uncertainty of repayment. In view of the foregoing, the Group considered the sale of the Sale Loan is the best option.

THE DISPOSAL

On 17 March 2021 (after trading hours), the Seller and the Buyer entered into a conditional SPA, pursuant to which the Seller has conditionally agreed to sell and the Buyer has conditionally agreed to buy the Sale Loan and the Call Option for a consideration of approximately HK$261 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration:

accrued interest pursuant to the Original Facility

Agreement.

remaining 50% of the outstanding default interest

recognized for the period 19 October 2018 to 2 September

2019 of approximately HK$37.1 million after the waiver of

50% default interest from 19 October 2018 to 2 September

2019 under the Original Facility Agreement. In view of the

uncertainty in recoverability of the aforesaid default

interest, the Buyer and the Seller agreed to exclude the

remaining 50% of the default interests of approximately

HK$37.1 million in determining the Consideration.

The Seller had also considered its rights and entitlement of

the outstanding accrued interest of approximately HK$30.1

million pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement

Agreement. In view of the uncertainty in recoverability of

the outstanding accrued interest, the Seller had applied 70%

discount on the outstanding accrued interest to arrive the

Consideration.

The Seller had also considered its rights and entitlement of

default interest from the Maturity Date to and including the

Completion Date. In view of the uncertainty in

recoverability of the aforesaid default interest, the Buyer

and the Seller also agreed to exclude the default interest

from the Maturity Date to and including the Completion

Date in determining the Consideration.

- 13 -

business and commercial and normal terms and was

arrived after arm's length negotiation between the Seller

and Buyer and has taken into consideration the carrying

value of the Sale Loan, the historical repayment record and

the credit profile of the Borrower. The Seller has also made

reference to the terms and conditions of some other

Lender's disposal of their portion of the Loan Facility,

including but not limited to the basis of determining

consideration, such as the exclusion of 50% of the default

interest for the period 19 October 2018 to 2 September 2019

and the default interest from the Maturity Date to and

including the Completion Date, and approximately 70%

discount on the outstanding accrued interest of

approximately HK$30.1 million, which were the same as

of the Disposal. The Board had considered the fact that

there was uncertainty in recoverability of the default interest

and the outstanding accrued interest, no other potential

buyers provided a better offer than that of the Buyer and the

Disposal allows the Group to recover the outstanding

principal amount and part of the accrued interest in one

go. In addition, certain terms of the Disposal is the same as

the terms of the disposals of other Lenders in relation to

their portion of the Loan Facility. As such, the Board

considers that the terms of the Disposal are fair and

reasonable and are on normal commercial terms, and the

Disposal is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the

Company and shareholders as a whole. To the best of the

Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made

all reasonable enquiries, the Buyer was not involved in the

sale of other Lender's disposal of their portion of the Loan.

Long Stop Date:

30 June 2021 (or any other date as agreed by the parties in

writing)

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

Impact on financial performance

The Sale Loan has contributed interest income of HK$26.3 million and HK$52.4 million pursuant to the Original Facility Agreement for the year ended 31 December 2018 and 2019 respectively, totalling HK$78.7 million.

As at the Maturity Date, the Borrower had fully settled the accrued interest pursuant to the Original Facility Agreement. As at the Maturity Date, the outstanding 50% default interest pursuant to the Original Facility Agreement was approximately HK$37.1 million, of which the Seller had recognised and the Borrower did not repay.

- 15 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Sale Loan has contributed interest income of HK$13.4 million and HK$23.2 million pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement for the year ended 31 December 2019 and 2020 respectively, totalling HK$36.6 million.

As at the Maturity Date, the accrued interest pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement was approximately HK$36.6 million, the Borrower has repaid HK$6.4 million and the outstanding accrued interest was approximately HK$30.2 million. After the Maturity Date, in view of the uncertainty in recoverability of the default interest, the Seller did not recognise the default interest pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement.

The Group had recognised a net loss of HK$35.0 million for the Sale Loan for the year ended 31 December 2020, representing the interest income of HK$23.2 million netted of the impairment loss for expected credit losses of approximately HK$58.2 million.

Upon the Completion of the Disposal, it is expected that the Sale Loan will not cause any material impact on the earnings of the Group as there is no difference between the Consideration and the carrying amount of the Sale Loan as at 31 December 2020. The reporting accountants of the Company have performed certain factual finding procedures in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Related Services 4400, Engagements to Perform Agreed-upon Procedures Regarding Financial Information, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, for financial effect on earnings on the Disposal recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Impact on financial position

The Sale Loan was accounted for an asset with carrying amount of approximately HK$261 million as at 31 December 2020.

Upon the Completion of the Disposal, it is expected the Sale Loan will not cause any material impact on the total assets and total liabilities of the Group.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Disposal provides for a one-off repayment of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of the Seller's participation under the Loan Facility, which allows the Group to use the proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital and future investment opportunities of the Group. Save for the aforesaid, the Group has no specific designated purpose for the use of the proceeds obtained from the Disposal as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Hence, the Board has approved the Disposal and the transaction contemplated thereunder after considering all the circumstances, including the timing of payment and recoverable amount. The Board considers that the above analysis and the decision made is beneficial to the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

Despite the Borrower entered into the Amendment and Restatement Agreement with the Sellers and other Lenders on 29 July 2020, the Borrower has failed to fulfill its repayment obligations since the Maturity Date. The Seller has several rounds of discussions with the Borrower and other Lenders and no agreement was reached in relation to the restructuring or extension of the Loan Facility or a repayment plan. The Group has considered other exit options and among others, the exercise of the Call Option. In November 2020, the Seller had voted for the exercise of the Call Option. However, the Lenders are unable to obtain a majority consent of 80% as some Lenders considered that it will take more than a year to transfer the Option Shares to them and is not a feasible option to sell the Option Shares in the market within a short period of time. The Group considered the Disposal is the best option to the Group. The Group had approached other potential buyers for the Disposal including an investment bank, a private company and other Lenders, however none of them provides a better offer than that of the Buyer. The Disposal, which is to be sold to a party not originally involved in the Loan Facility though selling at a discount, provides for a one-off repayment of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of the Seller's participation under the Loan Facility, which allows the Group to use the proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital and future investment opportunities of the Group.

In view of the above, the Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Disposal (including the Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and such terms are fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceed 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company and is subject to reporting, announcement, circular, and Shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Any Shareholder with a material interest in the Disposal and the close associates will abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the SGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Disposal and accordingly, none of the Shareholders and their respective close associates is required to abstain from voting in respect of the ordinary resolution to approve the Disposal at the SGM.

It is expected that the Group will continue to face various complex and challenging macro-economic circumstances in 2021, including but not limited to prolonged global novel coronavirus pandemic, growing tension between the Sino-U.S. relations, volatility of the capital markets in different countries, rising unemployment rates in Hong Kong.

Looking forward to 2021, the Group will continue to impose cost control measures to curb unnecessary expenses in order to mitigate the pressure from possible decrease in revenue. In light of the considerable uncertainties for the current situation, the Group will, from time to time, review our investment portfolios and business segments, to ensure a smooth transition in the severe environment.

Corporate Finance Business

The Group's corporate finance business comprises sponsorship for listing, financial advisory, financing consultation service, equity capital market and debt capital market. It consists of revenue booked in China Tonghai Capital Limited and some commission income from placing and underwriting booked under China Tonghai Securities. In 2020, total income from corporate finance business recorded HK$14 million, a drop of roughly 69% as compared to HK$45 million in 2019. In 2020, commission-based income (from placing, underwriting and sub-underwriting deals) amounted to HK$7.8 million, representing a year-on-year drop of 71% from HK$26.6 million in 2019. The major reason was high comparative figure caused by the commission income recorded from Tai Hing Group Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 6811) in 2019. In 2020, fee-based income (from sponsorship, financial advisory, compliance advisory engagements) was approximately HK$6.6 million, representing a year-on-year decline of approximately 64% from HK$18.3 million in 2019.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Asset Management Business

In 2020, total revenue from asset management business recorded HK$42 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 83% as compared to HK$23 million in 2019. The increase was mainly due to the increase of more than HK$20 million in performance fee from both funds and discretionary accounts. Average AUM for 2020 has decreased slightly as compared to that in 2019, thus a slightly decrease in general management fee was recorded. Our asset management business at the end of 2020 included the management of China Tonghai China Focus Segregated Portfolio (''CTCF'', a private fund incorporated in the Cayman Islands), China Tonghai Greater China UCITS fund (formerly known as Oceanwide Greater China UCITS fund) (''UCITS'', a European public fund registered in Luxemburg), private equity funds named Oceanwide Pioneer Limited Partnership, Oceanwide Elite Limited Partnership, China Tonghai Guaranteed Return Segregated Portfolio, Golden Global SP1, Golden Global SP2, China Tonghai Minsheng Trust A Shares Segregated Portfolio and various discretionary accounts managed by both our asset management subsidiary and our securities subsidiary company, etc.

Brokerage Business

In 2020, total income from brokerage business recorded HK$170 million, a year-on-year increase of 2% from HK$166 million in 2019, mainly due to the slight increase in commission from dealing in Hong Kong securities. Commission income on futures and options products slightly declined from HK$77 million in 2019 to HK$74 million in 2020.

Interest Income Business

The Group's interest income business includes interest income from margin loans, interest income from other loans, interest income from proprietary investment business and interest income from treasury operation. Total revenue from interest income business in 2020 recorded HK$667 million, representing a 9% growth from HK$611 million in 2019. In particular, interest income from other loans has increased from HK$305 million in 2019 to HK$368 million in 2020 by 21%. The main reason is the increase of loans to our connected parties. Interest income from margin loans has reduced from HK$193 million in 2019 to HK$159 million in 2020 by 18% which was basically in line with the reduction of outstanding margin loan amounts to clients. Key improvements have been made in IPO margin loan interest income. This item, though small in proportion to the overall revenue figure, has improved from HK$0.5 million in 2019 to HK$3.0 million in 2020 by around five folds.

Investments and Others Business

In 2020, due to the correct investment decisions made by our colleagues, we are proud to report that we have turned around from the loss of HK$66 million in 2019 to the gain of HK$212 million in 2020. There were several projects making significant gains in 2020 despite some projects were making losses. Other than those discussed in the section of our adjusted results, they are realized portion which give rise to more cash to the Group.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Capital Structure, Liquidity and Financial Resources

The Group generally finances its operations with internally generated cash flow as well as through the utilization of banking facilities and short-term notes. From time to time, the Company may raise funding by issuing new shares or debt instruments. The Group's cash level at the end of 2020 was around HK$214 million (2019 : HK$182 million).

At the end of 2020, the Group's total borrowings amounted to HK$1,875 million, decreased by 8% from HK$2,037 million at the end of 2019. Borrowings mainly consisted of three components. The first component was utilized bank facilities of around HK$1,503 million (2019 : HK$1,826 million), of which the Group had available aggregate banking facilities of around HK$3,849 million (2019 : HK$4,249 million). Most of our banking facilities are based on putting our margin clients' stock as collaterals (commonly known as ''margin loan''). The second component was private notes issued by our listed company, which amounted to HK$370 million at the end of 2020 (2019 : HK$211 million). They were very short term instruments ranging from 30 days to 180 days. The third component was the obligations under repurchase agreements, which recorded HK$2 million as at the end of

2020 (2019 : Nil). At the end of 2020, the Group's gearing ratio (leverage) was 32% (2019 : 35%), being calculated as total borrowings over net assets. The management has applied prudent risk and credit management on the increased borrowing. In addition, the Group is required to strictly follow regulatory re-pledging ratios and prudent bank borrowing benchmarks that govern the extent of bank borrowings in the securities margin lending business.

Contingent liabilities

Counterclaim by a Hong Kong listed company

On 4 February 2019, China Tonghai Securities, our subsidiary, initiated legal proceedings against a Hong Kong listed company (the ''Defendant'') in the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in respect of the failure of payment of commission fees to China Tonghai Securities under the agreement on provision of financial agency services dated 28 March 2018 (the ''Agency Agreement'') to recover the remaining commission fees of HK$10.35 million not yet paid by the Defendant to China Tonghai Securities (not yet booked). The Defendant submitted its defense and counterclaim in mid-2019. Save as disclosed above, the Directors consider that the Group has no other contingent liabilities. Although the possible consequence of the above case is now uncertain, the Directors consider any possible legal obligations arising from the above counterclaim would not impose any material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group.

Material acquisitions, disposals and significant investments

For 2020, the Group had not made any material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and associated companies. As at the end of 2020, the Group did not hold any significant investments.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Directors of China Tonghai International Financial Limited

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of China Tonghai International Financial Limited (the ''Company'') and its subsidiaries (collectively the ''Group'') by the directors of the Company (the ''Directors'') for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated net asset statement as at 31 December 2020, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2020 and related notes as set out in Part A of Appendix III of the circular dated 27 April 2021 (the ''Circular'') issued by the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are described in Part A of Appendix III to the Circular.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the disposal of Sale Loan and the Call Option (the ''Transaction'') on the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and the Group's financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2020 as if the Transaction had taken place at 31 December 2020 and 1 January 2020, respectively.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

Reporting Accountants' Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements (''HKSAE'') 3420, ''Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus'', issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountants plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purpose of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the events had occurred or the transactions had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 31 December 2020 and 1 January 2020 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the

- 37 -

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

. the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

. the pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants' judgement, having regard to the reporting accountant's understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  1. the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;
  2. such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and
  3. the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

    5. each attendee may be asked whether (a) he/she travels outside of Hong Kong within the 14-day period immediately before the SGM; and (b) he/she is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine. Anyone who responds positively to any of these questions may be denied entry into the SGM venue or be required to leave the SGM venue.

Any person who does not comply with above requirements may be denied entry into the SGM venue or be required to leave the SGM venue. To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the SGM venue or require any person to leave the SGM venue in order to ensure the safety of other attendees at the SGM. In our case, denied entry to the SGM venue also means that person will not be allowed to attend the SGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and in accordance with recent guidelines for prevention and control of the spread of novel coronavirus, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the SGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.
