Mr. Zhou Minfeng, Ms. Lai Cairong and Mr. Wong Luen Cheung Andrew, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. Mr. Chang Jingzhou will not offer himself for re-election of the Annual General Meeting due to his other business commitments.

Each of Mr. Wong Luen Cheung Andrew, Mr. Yu Shuli, Mr. Tian Yushi and Mr. Xu Jiali has made an annual confirmation of independence pursuant to the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Company is of the view that each of Mr. Wong Luen Cheung Andrew, Mr. Yu Shuli, Mr. Tian Yushi and Mr. Xu Jiali is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines. Hence, the Company recommends Mr. Wong Luen Cheung Andrew to be re-elected as independent non-executive Director.

In accordance with the nomination policy of the Company and the objective criteria (including without limitation, gender, age, ethnicity, cultural and educational background, professional experiences and knowledge) with due regard for the benefits of diversity, as set out under the board diversity policy of the Company, the Nomination Committee has reviewed the re- election of the Directors through:

  1. evaluating the performance and contribution of the retiring Directors during the last financial year of the Company and the period thereafter up to the date of evaluation; and
  2. assessing the independence of the independent non-executive Directors, being Mr. Wong Luen Cheung Andrew, Mr. Yu Shuli, Mr. Tian Yushi and Mr. Xu Jiali, and considered whether they remained independent and suitable to continue to act in such roles.

After due evaluation and assessment, the Nomination Committee is of the opinion that:

  1. the performance of the retiring Directors was satisfactory and contributed effectively to the operation of the Board; and

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. based on the information available to the Nomination Committee and the annual written independence confirmation received from the independent non-executive Directors, the
    Nomination Committee was satisfied that Mr. Wong Luen Cheung Andrew, Mr. Yu Shuli, Mr. Tian Yushi and Mr. Xu Jiali
    1. fulfill the requirements of an independent non-executive Director as stipulated under 3.13 of the Listing Rules; and
    2. are the persons of integrity and independent in character and judgement.

Accordingly, the Nomination Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has considered the re-election of Mr. Zhou Minfeng as the executive Director, Ms. Lai Cairong as the non-executive Director and Mr. Wong Luen Cheung Andrew as the independent non- executive Director, is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and has resolved to propose to re-elect each of the retiring Directors at the Annual General Meeting.

Details of the Directors who will be proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

3. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 19 June 2020, ordinary resolutions were passed by the Shareholders to grant the existing general mandates to the Directors to issue and repurchase Shares respectively. Such general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

  1. to allot, issue or deal with additional Shares of up to 353,838,760 Shares, being 20% of the issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 10 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting on the basis that 1,769,193,800 Shares were in issued as at the Latest Practicable Date and no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting (the "Issue Mandate");
  2. to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of up to 176,919,380 Shares, being 10% of the issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 11 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting on the basis that 1,769,193,800 Shares were in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting (the "Repurchase Mandate"); and
  3. to extend the Issue Mandate by adding the amount of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

With reference to the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares or repurchase any Shares pursuant thereto.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Each of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will expire at the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the Company's next annual general meeting; or
  2. the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by law or the Articles of Association to hold its next annual general meeting; or
  3. when varied or revoked by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.

4. FINAL DIVIDEND AND CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS

In order to determine the entitlement of the shareholders to attend and vote at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 28 May 2021 to Wednesday, 2 June 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares in the Company will be registered. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, all transfers of shares, accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Company's Hong Kong share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 27 May 2021.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The register of members of the Company will also be closed from Wednesday, 16 June 2021 to Friday, 18 June 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares in the Company will be registered. In order to qualify for the entitlement to the proposed 2020 Final Dividend, all transfers of shares, accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Company's Hong Kong share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 15 June 2021.

5 . TERMINATION OF EXISTING SCHEME

The Existing Scheme was adopted by the Company pursuant to the passing of an ordinary resolution of the then Shareholders on 15 December 2011. The Existing Scheme enables the Group to grant options to the Directors, the employees of the Group and other selected participants as incentives for their contribution to the Group. Pursuant to the terms of the Existing Scheme, it shall be valid and effective for a period of 10 years commencing on the adoption date (i.e. 15 December 2011) of the Existing Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no share options granted under the Existing Scheme which remained outstanding.

Other than the Existing Scheme, the Company currently does not maintain any other share option scheme. Taking into account that the Existing Scheme will expire on 14 December 2021, the Board proposes to adopt the New Scheme which complies with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and a resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for the adoption of the New Scheme.

Conditional upon the passing of the ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, the Existing Scheme will be terminated and no further options shall be granted pursuant to the Existing Scheme but the Existing Scheme shall in all other respects remain in force to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any outstanding share options granted prior to its termination.

6. ADOPTION OF NEW SCHEME

Since the Existing Scheme will expire on 14 December 2021, the Board proposes to adopt the New Scheme pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, and an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for the adoption of the New Scheme.

The purpose of the New Scheme is to enable the Group to grant options for rewarding its employees, the Directors and other eligible participants for their contribution to the Group. The eligibility of any of the eligible participants to the grant of any option shall be determined by the Directors from time to time on the basis of the Directors' opinion as to his/her contribution to the development and growth of the Group.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no share options had been agreed to be granted under the New Scheme. None of the Directors are appointed as trustees of the New Scheme or have a direct or indirect interest in the trustees of the New Scheme. There are no material differences on the principal terms between the Existing Scheme and the New Scheme.

Scheme Mandate Limit

The initial maximum number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted under the New Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including the Existing Scheme) may represent up to 10% of the Shares in issue on the date of approval of the New Scheme by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (the "General Scheme Limit"), which maximum number may however be refreshed as detailed in paragraph (3) of Appendix II to this circular.

On the basis of 1,769,193,800 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that, prior to the Annual General Meeting, no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company, the General Scheme Limit will be 176,919,380 Shares.

Conditions of the adoption of the New Scheme

The adoption of the New Scheme is conditional upon:

  1. the termination of the Existing Scheme by an ordinary resolution at the Annual General Meeting;
  2. the approval of the New Scheme at the Annual General Meeting and the allotment and issue of the Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the options granted under the New Scheme; and
  3. the Stock Exchange granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the number of Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the options granted up to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the terms and conditions of the New Scheme.

Values of all options that can be granted under the New Scheme

The Directors consider that it is not possible to state the value of all options that may be granted pursuant to the New Scheme as if they had been granted on the Latest Practicable Date, because the calculation of the value of the options is based on a number of variables such as the exercise price, exercise period, interest rate, expected volatility and other relevant variables. As options have not been granted under the New Scheme, certain variables are not available for calculating the value of the options. The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the options as at the Latest Practicable Date prior to the approval of the New Scheme at the Annual General Meeting based on a great number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful to the Shareholders.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Compliance to the Listing Rules

The provisions of the New Scheme comply with the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. With respect to the operation of the New Scheme, the Company will, where applicable, comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

General

An ordinary resolution to approve and adopt the New Scheme will be proposed to be approved at the Annual General Meeting. A summary of the principal terms of the rules of the New Scheme is set out in Appendix III to this circular. A copy of the rules of the New Scheme is available for inspection at the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong at Unit 19, 36th Floor, China Merchants Tower, Shun Tak Centre, Nos. 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong during normal business hours from the date of this circular up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of the options granted under the New Scheme (up to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting).

  1. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT
    The notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 27 to 31 of this circular.
    A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (http://www.cn-huazhong.com).

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting if you so wish.
  2. VOTING BY POLL
    Pursuant to the rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, all resolutions set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting will be taken by way of poll. The chairman would explain the detailed procedures for conducting a poll at the commencement of the Annual General Meeting. No Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Appendix II

Explanatory Statement on the

Repurchase Mandate

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued shares of the Company are 1,769,193,800 Shares.
    Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 11 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a maximum of 176,919,380 Shares, representing 10% of the amount of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.
  2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
    The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
    Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the 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 a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
  3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
    In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
  4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
    There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such 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.

Appendix II

Explanatory Statement on the

Repurchase Mandate

  1. TAKEOVERS CODE
    If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, 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 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, Huayou Holdings Company Limited holds 1,320,000,000 Shares, representing 74.61% of the issued shares of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of Repurchase Mandate, then (if the present shareholdings otherwise remain the same) the interests of Huayou Holdings Company Limited would increase to approximately 82.90% of the issued shares of the Company. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but would reduce the amount of Shares held by the public to less than 25% of the total issued shares of the Company. The Company has no present intention to repurchase Shares to such extent as to result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
  2. GENERAL
    None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
    The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by them to the Company, in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
    The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

APPENDIX III

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SCHEME

Set out below is a summary of the principal terms and conditions of the New Scheme to provide sufficient information to the Shareholders for their consideration of the New Scheme proposed to be adopted at the Annual General Meeting.

  1. PURPOSE OF THE NEW SCHEME
    The purpose of the New Scheme is to enable the Group to grant options to selected participants as incentives or rewards for their contribution to the Group. The Directors consider the New Scheme, with its broadened basis of participation, will enable the Group to reward the employees, the Directors and other selected participants for their contributions to the Group. Given that the Directors are entitled to determine any performance targets to be achieved as well as the minimum period that an option must be held before an option can be exercised on a case by case basis, and that the exercise price of an option cannot in any event fall below the price stipulated in the Listing Rules or such higher price as may be fixed by the Directors, it is expected that grantees of an option will make an effort to contribute to the development of the Group so as to bring about an increased market price of the Shares in order to capitalise on the benefits of the options granted.
  2. WHO MAY JOIN
    The Directors (which expression shall, for the purpose of this Appendix, include a duly authorised committee thereof) may, at its absolute discretion, invite any person belonging to any of the following classes of participants, to take up options to subscribe for Shares:
    1. any Eligible Employee;
    2. any non-executive Directors (including independent non-executive Directors);
    3. any supplier of goods or services to any member of the Group;
    4. any customer of any member of the Group;
    5. any person or entity that provides research, development or other technological support to any member of the Group;
    6. any shareholder of any member of the Group or any holder of any securities issued by any member of the Group;
    7. any adviser (professional or otherwise) or consultant to any area of business or business development of the Group; and

For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of any options by the Company for the subscription of Shares or other securities of the Group to any person who fall within any of the above classes of participants shall not, by itself, unless the Directors otherwise determined, be construed as a grant of option under the New Scheme.

- 18 -

APPENDIX III

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE NEW SCHEME

The eligibility of any of the above class of eligible participants to the grant of any option shall be determined by the Directors from time to time on the basis of the Directors' opinion as to his/her contribution or potential contribution to the development and growth of the Group.

Accordingly, the Board will assess the eligibility of these Eligible Participants based on various factors such as performance conditions, or targets to be achieved and potential and/or actual contribution to the business affairs of and benefits to the Group. It is expected that grantees of the Share Options will make an effort to contribute to the development of the Group so as to bring about an increased market price of the Shares in order to capitalize on the benefits of the Share Options granted and in turn benefiting the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

    3. Subject to (a) above but without prejudice to (d) below, the Company may issue a circular to the Shareholders and seek approval of the Shareholders in general meeting to refresh the General Scheme Limit provided that the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the New Scheme and any other share options scheme of the Group must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit and for the purpose of calculating the refreshed limit, options (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the New Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Group) previously granted under the New Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Group will not be counted.

The number and terms (including the exercise price) of options to be granted to such participant must be fixed before the Shareholders' approval and the date of Board meeting for proposing such further grant should be taken as the date of grant for the purpose of calculating the exercise price under note (1) to Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules.

    An option may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the New Scheme at any time during a period to be determined and notified by the Directors to each grantee, which period may commence on the date upon which the offer for the grant of options is made but shall end in any event not later than 10 years from the date of grant of the option subject to the provisions for early termination thereof.

A Share allotted upon the exercise of an option shall not carry voting, dividend or other rights until the completion of the registration of the grantee on the register of members of the Company as the holder thereof.
