APPENDIX I

SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL ON THE 2021-2023 STRATEGIC

DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF HARBIN BANK (GROUP)

  1. Strategic Background
    1. The necessity of strategic upgrade. First, the world is now undergoing significant changes unseen in a century, and the impact of the global spread of COVID-19 lingers on. The internal and external development factors of China have changed profoundly. The business environment of commercial banks is getting more complex and changeable with greater uncertainty and instability. Second, the financial supply-side reform continues and has formed a new landscape that adapts to changes: Low-speed growth in asset size, low market interest rates, and narrowing interest margins have become the new normal of the banking industry. Third, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is on the rise. Technological innovation has become a new engine of economic growth, and digital management and intelligent risk control have become a must-have for the industry. Fourth, the interbank "rigid repayment" mechanism has been shattered, leading to diverging credit levels and fading faith in license. The business differentiation of small and medium-sized banks is increasing, and the deep-seated problems and weaknesses in the operations and management have gradually been exposed. As a city commercial bank in Northeast China, the Bank faces a range of challenges, covering asset quality, structural adjustment, basic governance, etc.
    1. The feasibility of strategic upgrade. First, the Bank has long been committed to the business philosophy of "Inclusive Finance, Harmonious Co-enrichment", and the key for the Group to achieve healthy development is to maintain its strategic focus. Second, the Bank always upholds the differentiated, distinctive and market-oriented development philosophy. Its great efforts over the years provide strong support for strategic upgrade. Third, since the implementation of the previous strategic plan, under the unprecedented difficulties facing small and medium-sized banks, the Bank adhered to its strategies, improved governance, and promoted transformation. We drew up our blueprint, fought "three battles" and had been improving governance for three years. Thanks to such efforts, we have regained a sound development momentum and re-established a good market image, laying a solid foundation for strategic upgrade.
  1. Vision and Goals
    1. Guidelines. First, we will adhere to the principle of stable operation to seek progress while maintaining stability and safeguard the dual bottom lines of "stable growth and risk prevention; and enable personnel to work happily and live healthily, so as to ensure the stability of business operations and workforce. Second, we will keep in mind our original aspiration, maintain our strategic direction, focus on our principal business, serve inclusive finance, support the real economy, and perform social responsibility, with a view to enhancing our core competitiveness and brand influence. Third, we will pursue high-quality development, be more customer-centric, and put more emphasis on fintech application, compliance-based operations and improvement of professional capabilities, so as to shift from traditional expansion in size to high-quality development. Fourth, we will adhere to the principles of marketisation and rule of law, deepen the differentiated and international development, promote the reform of the management system, optimise the authorisation management system,

DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF HARBIN BANK (GROUP)

strengthen the incentive and restraint mechanism, and mobilise all positive forces to seize market opportunities, with an aim to increase income sources and profits. Fifth, we will follow the guidance of party building, integrate party leadership into all aspects of corporate governance, lead the institutional construction, team building and cultural construction with party building, and strengthen the foundation of our governance as a modern commercial bank.

  1. Strategic vision. Serve the real economy, SMEs and local development, maximise the risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC), adhere to characteristic and differentiated business operations, and create fundamental advantages in China's digital inclusive finance market, in an effort to build a leading microfinance bank with premium services, remarkable characteristics, standardised governance and advanced management.
  1. Development goals. During the planning period, with an aim to achieve high-quality development, we will accelerate the improvement of bank-wide asset quality, coordinate corporate and retail businesses as dual drivers, and build an ecosystem underpinned by "corporate finance, retail finance and Sino-Russia financial services" through multi-channel capital replenishment, strategic business investment, fintech application, incentive and restraint policies and other measures and on the premise of ensuring legal compliance, quality and efficiency. By doing so, we seek to achieve steady growth in main business indicators within three years, improve quality and efficiency indicators, outperform peers in terms of strategic structural indicators, and have all relevant indicators meet the regulatory requirements, so as to become the most competitive city commercial bank in the region with characteristic advantages in inclusive finance.

First, we aim to steadily increase the size of assets and liabilities. To achieve high-quality business development, the Group will seize opportunities amidst changes, maintain an industry-average growth rate of assets and liabilities, effectively improve resource allocation capacity and efficiency, and continuously consolidate the capital base. Second, we aim to improve asset quality steadily. By the end of 2023, we will achieve great results in the NPL collection, build up a full-process asset quality management system with improving asset quality, control the NPL ratio below the average level of city commercial banks, and have the capital adequacy ratio and allowance to NPL ratio meet the regulatory requirements. Third, we aim to maintain stable profitability. We will experience a steady recovery of net profit, have stable income, gradually develop a stable and sound profit structure, and control the cost-to-income ratio at the average level of comparable banks. Fourth, we aim to improve basic governance in an all-round way. By the end of 2023, we will comprehensively strengthen our corporate governance, internal control and risk management systems. Our transformation will be fruitful: the customer mix, asset-liability structure and income structure will be greatly improved; the proportion of active liabilities will drop significantly; micro and retail loans will account for more than 40% of the Bank's loans, and savings deposits will account for more than 50% of the total. We will promote fintech application, business process reengineering and basic governance improvement, make up for the weaknesses of our capabilities, and greatly enhance

DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF HARBIN BANK (GROUP)

the capabilities in strategic management, product management, marketing management, risk management, pricing management, asset & liability management, operations management, technology management and human resource management, so as to create core competitiveness.

  1. Implementation Methods
    1. Develop corporate and retail business as dual drivers. Based on its development positioning as a city commercial bank, the Bank will, on the basis of consolidating existing characteristic advantages, promote the coordinated development of corporate and retail business, create a digital retail finance system, seek new breakthroughs in corporate finance, and optimise business structure at a faster pace, so as to build a business model driven by corporate and retail business. As to corporate business, we will make good use of our advantageous access to local SOE and government customers, seize a new round of opportunities from regional economic development, accelerate the restructuring of existing businesses, and rebuild our competitive edge in corporate finance in key regions and key industries. As to retail business, we will steadily promote the development of asset business, optimise the structure of the liabilities business, and improve the comprehensive financial service system for strategic customer base, with a view to building a microfinance bank brand.
  1. Explore a second growth engine. In line with the government's strategy, we will leverage our unique advantage in Sino-Russia financial services to develop a second engine for the Group's operations and development. We will take the opportunities from the construction of a characteristic financial centre in Harbin New Area and Shenzhen-Harbin cooperation to deepen the development of Sino-Russia financial services, so as to facilitate business development towards both the north and the south. Specially, we will integrate Sino-Russia financial resources, set up new branches in Harbin New Area, give full play to the functions of Sino-Russia Financial Alliance, Sino-RussiaCross-border Settlement Centre and Cross- border E-commerce Financial Service Platform, and speed up the introduction of Russian strategic investors, in a drive to further improve the level of opening up to and integration with Russia.
  1. Seize opportunities in the financial market. Based on stable and standardised operations and guided by market-oriented and specialization-based approaches, we will speed up the transformation and upgrading of investment banking, financial market, asset management, wealth management and private banking business, enhance our professional capabilities in market trading, asset allocation and investment consulting, and mobilise all positive forces and seize all potential market opportunities to increase income sources, so as to increase returns on assets through multiple channels.

(IV) Improve the results of branch transformation. We will intensify the institutional reform, release the potential capacity of branches, and encourage branches to carry out distinctive operations according to local conditions, with a view to realising differentiated development and improving regional competitive advantages. While building a strong headquarters, we will strengthen the reform of authorisation, optimise the resource allocation system, and fully stimulate the vitality of branches through such management approaches as old-new separation, full authorisation, employment liberalisation, flexible distribution and cost packaging, so as to release potential profitability. We will encourage and support branches to seize strategic opportunities in regional markets. The Harbin branch will strengthen its advantageous access to provincial and municipal government customers after the equity replacement of the Group, consolidate the Bank's brand advantage in characteristic business in the province, and enhance our advantage in accessing market resources outside the province, so as to build a new pattern of differentiated development by region. Focusing on retail transformation and underpinned by smart operation as the support, we will optimise the business mix of branches, strengthen the professional management of teams, improve the service system of outlets, increase the output per outlet, and support transformation of outlets of sub-branches, with a view to turning our advantages in retail transformation into commercial success.

  1. Reap fruits from NPL collection. The next three years will be a period for the Bank to experience a growth rate shift, optimise business structure in a painful way, and resolve existing problems. The primary challenge facing the Bank is still how to deal with non-performing assets, and the pressure on the exposure and disposal of hidden risks is huge. In the new strategic period, the asset business-related departments of the head office, branches and various entities of the Bank should have faith in seeking benefits from the collection of non-performing loans, ensure the completion of NPL collection target, and strengthen full-process asset quality control.

(VI) Realise coordinated development of the Group. We will promote and improve the group-wide coordination mechanism. While strengthening cross-selling and building a universal sharing platform, we will further consolidate the group-wide management mechanism, improve the financial holding management system, and strengthen performance assessment with a focus on RAROC. Based on the maturity of each subsidiary, we will strengthen the senior management assessment, improve the performance assessment mechanism, and guide subsidiaries to raise the awareness of independent operation and self-financing as a legal person, enhance market competitiveness, increase profitability and return on capital, make greater contributions to the Group in the period of structural adjustment while ensuring their own sustainable development, so as to improve the overall business performance of the Group.

(VII) Strengthen the incentive and restraint mechanism. We will cherish and carry forward the advantages of our market-oriented mechanism and diversified innovation DNA developed over the years, adhere to the market-oriented reform, and strengthen the incentive and restraint mechanism to fully mobilise the enthusiasm of frontline teams of branches and

sub-branches. According to the basic principles of commercial banks, we will comprehensively promote market-oriented resource allocation for business portfolio, team staffing, incentives and performance assessment, capital pricing, etc. We will promote the reform of human resources on the market-oriented principle to mobilise the initiative and enthusiasm of branches by creating three career development pathways - management, marketing and professional technology, in an effort to maximise the role of human resources in the Bank's business development.

(VIII) Improve the foundation of corporate governance.
