PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the Annual General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, 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 Annual General Meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the Annual General Meeting venue or be required to leave the Annual General Meeting venue.
  2. All Shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to complete and submit at the entrance of the Annual General Meeting venue a declaration form confirming their names and contact details, and confirming that they have not travelled to, or to their best of knowledge had physical contact with any person who has recently travelled to, any affected countries or areas outside of Hong Kong (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong government at www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html) at any time in the preceding 21 days. Any person who does not comply with this requirement may be denied entry into the Annual General Meeting venue or be required to leave the Annual General Meeting venue.
  3. The attendees are required to wear surgical face masks inside the Annual General Meeting venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats.
  4. No refreshments will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.

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

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and consistent with recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the Annual General Meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders may appoint the Chairman of the Annual General Meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the Annual General Meeting instead of attending the Annual General Meeting in person.

The proxy form can be downloaded from the "Investors" section of the Company's website at http://haitianinter.com/en/investor-relations/reports-and-news/. If you are not a registered Shareholder (if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

If Shareholders choosing not to attend the Annual General Meeting in person have any questions about the relevant resolutions, or about the Company or any matters for communication with the Board, they are welcome to contact the Company via Haitian's investor relations department as follows:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ISSUE MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise the power of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 1,596,000,000 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Issue Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 319,200,000 Shares.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase, on the Stock Exchange, Shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give to its Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting. An explanatory statement for such purpose is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

EXTENSION MANDATE

In addition, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to extend the Issue Mandate by an addition of an amount representing the aggregate number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting).

The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate would expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Law or the Articles to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when revoked or varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular. The annual report (the "Annual Report") incorporating the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 and the Directors' and auditors' report thereon are dispatched to the Shareholders together with this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual General Meeting in person, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time for the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to Article 87(1) 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 less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years.

As such, Mr. Chen Weiqun, Mr. Zhang Bin, Mr. Guo Mingguang and Dr. Yu Junxian will retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Particulars of each of them are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") and the Board have reviewed the annual written confirmations of independence of Dr. Yu Junxian and assessed her independence based on the independence criteria as set out in rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. She does not have any other relationships with any Directors, senior management, substantial Shareholders or controlling Shareholders of the Company. The Nomination Committee and the Board are also not aware of any circumstance that might influence Dr. Yu in exercising independent judgment and are satisfied that she has the required character, integrity, independence and experience to fulfill the role of an independent non-executive Director. On this basis, Dr. Yu is considered independent. The Nomination Committee nominated Dr. Yu to the Board for it to propose to the Shareholders for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. Accordingly, the Board proposed that she stands for re-election as independent non-executive Director at the Annual General Meeting.

Dr. Yu Junxian has in-depth knowledge of auditing, accounting and finance. The Board believes that the skills and experiences she acquired will be able to bring valuable contribution to the Group and her re-appointment will contribute to the diversity (in terms of skills) of the Board.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing

Rules, to provide requisite information as to the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which the securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,596,000,000 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 159,600,000 Shares, which represents 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares may be listed. Share 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 when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing the Company's securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the Companies Law.

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company.

6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder 's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases when the Company exercises its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, Mr. Zhang Jianming together with the wholly-owned investment holding companies and Mr. Zhang Jingzhang through the investment holding companies held respectively 523,005,219 Shares and 515,329,219 Shares, representing 32.77% and 32.29% of the issued Shares.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholdings of Mr. Zhang Jianming together with the wholly-owned investment holding companies and Mr. Zhang Jingzhang through the investment holding companies would increase to approximately 36.41% and 35.88% of the issued Shares, resulting in a mandatory offer being made under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention to repurchase Shares which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchases made under the Repurchase Mandate.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent that the public float would fall below 25% of the total number of Shares in issue or any other minimum percentage prescribed under the Listing Rules.

7. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No purchase of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months prior to the date of this circular.

8. GENERAL

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their Associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will only exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

No Core Connected Person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such Core Connected Person undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.
