INSIDE INFORMATION IN RELATION TO USD54,000,000

CONVERTIBLE BONDS DUE 10 MAY 2021

This announcement is made by Great Harvest Maeta Group Holdings Limited (the ''Company'', and together with its subsidiaries, the ''Group''), pursuant to the Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and Rules 13.09 and 13.19 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 23 December 2015 and 10 May 2016 and the circular of the Company dated 15 April 2016 (the ''Circular''), in relation to, among other things, the issue of the Convertible Bonds. Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context herein requires otherwise.

The Board would like to inform the Shareholders that the Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of USD54 million matured on 10 May 2021. Since 2020, the Company has been negotiating with the Bondholder for the extension of the maturity of the Convertible Bonds for an extended period of not less than twelve months. Due to the continuous impacts on COVID-19 pandemic, such extension could not take place prior to the original maturity date, and the Company has not repaid to the Bondholder the redemption amount for such Convertible Bonds in full on the maturity date. Up to the date of this announcement, USD51 million in the redemption amount of such Convertible Bonds remained outstanding.
