(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 2038)

ANNOUNCEMENT MADE PURSUANT TO

RULES 13.51(2)(N)(V) AND 13.51B(2) OF THE LISTING RULES

This announcement is made by FIH Mobile Limited (the "Company") pursuant to Rules 13.51(2)(n)(v) and 13.51B(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").

The Company provides an update on matters relating to Mr. Lau Siu Ki ("Mr. Lau"), an independent non-executive director and current chairman of the Company's audit, remuneration and nomination committees. Mr. Lau is scheduled to retire, but has been proposed for re-election, at the Company's forthcoming annual general meeting which is scheduled to be held on 28 May 2021.

In the Company's announcement dated 1 November 2019 and the Company's corporate governance report as of 26 March 2021 contained in the Company's 2020 annual report published on 20 April 2021 (please see page 178), the Company referred to its previous disclosures about Hong Kong Market Misconduct Tribunal ("MMT") proceedings that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission ("SFC") had commenced in October 2019 against China Medical & Healthcare Group Limited ("CMHGL") and six individuals who were directors of CMHGL at the relevant time, including Mr. Lau, for alleged late disclosure of inside information ("MMT Proceedings"). Mr. Lau was formerly a CMHGL independent non-executive director.

On 12 May 2021, the SFC announced that (amongst other information):

  1. the MMT had fined CMHGL and six of its former and current directors ("Relevant Directors") a total of
    HK$4.2 million for failing to disclose inside information as soon as reasonably practicable in 2014;
  2. the Relevant Directors had admitted that their negligent conduct had resulted in CMHGL's breach of the requirements of the corporate disclosure regime;
  3. Mr. Lau was one of the Relevant Directors, and of the HK$4.2 million fine referred to in (a) above, the MMT had fined Mr. Lau HK$300,000 (the MMT did not make any disqualification order against him from being a listed company director); and
  4. the MMT had ordered the Relevant Directors to: (i) pay the SFC's investigation and legal costs as well as the costs of the MMT Proceedings; and (ii) attend an SFC-approved training programme on the corporate disclosure regime, directors' duties and corporate governance.

Given that development, the Company will carefully assess the MMT's findings in its report of the MMT Proceedings, when available, and determine whether it considers Mr. Lau is fit and proper to remain an independent non-executive director and chairman of the Company's audit, remuneration and nomination committees. The Company will make a further announcement in due course, as necessary.

In the meantime, shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company's shares.

By Order of the Board

CHIH Yu Yang

Acting Chairman

Hong Kong, 12 May 2021

As at the date of this announcement, the board of directors of the Company comprises three executive directors, namely Mr. CHIH Yu Yang, Dr. KUO Wen-Yi and Mr. MENG Hsiao-Yi; and three independent non-executive directors, namely Mr. LAU Siu Ki, Dr. Daniel Joseph MEHAN and Mr. TAO Yun Chih.
