2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SECURITIES

In order to ensure flexibility and give discretion to the Directors, in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to issue any new securities, approval is to be sought from the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for the General Mandate to issue securities. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution no. 8(A) will be proposed to grant the General Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and/or otherwise deal with the additional securities of the Company not exceeding 20% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the General Mandate. The General Mandate shall be limited by the applicable laws, rules and requirements of the Stock Exchange as amended from time to time, including the restrictions for using the General Mandate to issue (i) securities convertible into new Shares for cash consideration, if the initial conversion price of such convertible securities is lower than the benchmarked price (as hereinafter defined) of the Shares at the time of the relevant placing; and (ii) warrants, options or similar rights to subscribe for new Shares or securities convertible into new Shares for cash consideration.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,975,911,413 Shares which have been fully paid. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 8(A) and on the basis that no further securities are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to issue a maximum of 395,182,282 Shares (whether by way of Shares or otherwise).

In addition, subject to a separate approval of ordinary resolution no. 8(C), the number of Shares purchased by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 8(B) will also be added to extend the General Mandate as mentioned in ordinary resolution no. 8(A), provided that such additional value shall represent up to 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolutions in relation to the General Mandate and Repurchase Mandate. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new securities of the Company pursuant to the General Mandate.

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares representing up to 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 104 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Cai Yingjie, Mr. Wang Zhigao and Mr. Wang Liqun shall retire by rotation, and being eligible, offered themselves for re election at the Annual General Meeting.

The re-appointment of the abovenamed Directors has been reviewed by the nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") which made recommendation to the Board that the re-election be proposed for Shareholders' approval at the Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee has recommended three Directors to the Board for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Details of the above Directors who are subject to re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.

5. FINAL DIVIDEND

Reference is made to the annual results announcement for the year ended December 31, 2020 of the Company dated March 16, 2021. The Board resolved to propose to the Shareholders in the Annual General Meeting for the distribution of a final dividend of RMB0.288 per Share for the year ended December 31, 2020 payable to the Shareholders whose names are listed in the register of members of the Company on May 27, 2021. Subject to the consideration and approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, the final dividend will be paid in Hong Kong dollars based on the medium exchange rate between Renminbi and Hong Kong dollars as announced by the People's Bank of China on the date of the Annual General Meeting. On the basis of the total issued share capital of 1,974,838,413 shares of the Company as of December 31, 2020, it is estimated that the aggregate amount of final dividend would be approximately RMB568.8 million. The actual total amount of final dividends to be paid will be subject to the total number of issued share capital of the Company as at the record date for determining the entitlement of shareholders to the final dividend. The dividend warrants will be posted by ordinary mail to the Shareholders who are entitled to receive the dividend at their own risk on or around June 18, 2021 (Friday).

6. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular is the notice of the Annual General Meeting at which, inter alia, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and approve, among others, the granting of the General Mandate to issue securities and the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares, the re-election of Directors and the declaration of final dividend.

- 10 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

  1. ISSUED SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 1,975,911,413 Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each which have been fully paid. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 197,591,141 Shares which represent 10% of the issued Shares during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the revocation or variation by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

  1. REASONS AND FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the Company's and the Shareholders' best interests for the Directors to have general authority to execute repurchases of our Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made where the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

The repurchase of the Shares listed on the Stock Exchange must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors may not repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange for consideration other than cash or for settlement other than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, the Directors may make repurchases with profits of the Company or out of a new issuance of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company.

The Directors believe that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an 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.

- 11 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their close associates, as defined in the Listing Rules, currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

No core connected person, as defined in the Listing Rules, has notified the Company that he or she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

  1. TAKEOVERS CODE IMPLICATIONS

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase 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. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, 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. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

Mr. Cheung Tak On ("Mr. Cheung") set up a discretionary trust (the "Family Trust") on April 5, 2012 with himself as settlor and protector, and HSBC International Trustee Limited ("HSBC International Trustee") as trustee. The beneficiary objects of the Family Trust are Mr. Cheung and certain of his family members. Palace Wonder Company Limited ("Palace Wonder") is wholly-owned by Regency Valley Company Limited ("Regency Valley"), which is in turn wholly-owned by HSBC International Trustee as the trustee of the Family Trust. As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Cheung (as founder of the Family Trust), HSBC International Trustee and Regency Valley are deemed to be interested in the 401,409,500 Shares held by Palace Wonder. Asset Link Investment Limited ("Asset Link") is wholly-owned by Mr. Cheung and he is deemed to be interested in the 197,080,000 Shares held by Asset Link. Mr. Cheung also holds 9,303,000 Shares as the beneficial owner. Therefore, Mr. Cheung is deemed to be interested in 607,792,500 Shares (through the Family Trust, Asset Link and himself), representing approximately 30.78% in aggregate of the total number of the issued Shares.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Cheung in the Company will be increased to approximately 34.20% of the number of the issued Shares. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have confirmed that they have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for the Controlling Shareholders of the Company, namely Mr. Cheung, Asset Link, Palace Wonder and Regency Valley, to make a mandatory offer.
