INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to give you information on the following resolutions proposed to be tabled at the AGM, so as to enable you to make an informed decision on the resolutions at the AGM to be held on 4 May 2021.

The resolutions include, among others, (i) the declaration of final dividend, (ii) the re-election of the retiring Directors, (iii) the grant of the Repurchase Mandate, (iv) the grant of the General Mandate, and (v) the extension of the General Mandate.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 83 and 84 of the Articles, Ms. WANG Hui, Ina, Mr. WANG Dong and Mr. LEE Siu Ming will retire by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election. Details of such retiring Directors are set forth in Appendix I to this circular.

Mr. LEE Siu Ming has confirmed his independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee has reviewed the composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skill and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's board diversity policy and the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of Mr. LEE Siu Ming. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board on re-election of all the retiring Directors including the aforesaid independent non-executive Director who is due to retire at the AGM. The Board accepted the recommendations made by the Nomination Committee and considers that Mr. LEE Siu Ming is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules and will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. The Board, therefore, considers him to be independent and believes that he should be re-elected.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase Shares subject to the criteria set forth in this circular. In particular, you should note that the maximum number of Shares that may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be such number which represents 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue as of the date of passing of the resolution, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules. The Repurchase Mandate will be expired on the earliest of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or the Articles or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement, which is set forth in Appendix II to this circular.

GENERAL MANDATE

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with further Shares or to grant any offers, agreements or options which would or might require Shares to be issued, allotted or disposed of, representing up to 15% of the total number of the Shares in issue as of the date of passing of the resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,883,295,000 fully paid up Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing the aforesaid resolution, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the aforesaid general and unconditional mandate on the date of passing the aforesaid resolution will be 282,494,250 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the aforesaid ordinary resolutions of the Repurchase Mandate and the General Mandate, a separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the extension of the General Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate, if granted.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice of the AGM is set forth in Appendix III to this circular. At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the declaration of the final dividend out of retained earnings account of the Company, the re-election of the retiring Directors, the grant of the Repurchase Mandate, the grant of the General Mandate and the extension of the General Mandate.

PROXY ARRANGEMENT

A form of proxy for the AGM is enclosed with this circular. To be valid, the form of proxy must be completed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposited, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power of attorney or authority, at the Registrar at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM (i.e. not later than Sunday, 2 May 2021 at 10 a.m. (Hong Kong time)) or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS

The Register of Members for the purpose of AGM will be closed from Thursday, 29 April 2021 to Tuesday, 4 May 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered in order to determine the entitlement to attend and vote at the AGM. All share transfers documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Registrar at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 28 April 2021 for such purpose.

The Register of Members for the purpose of final dividend will be closed from Monday, 10 May 2021 to Wednesday, 12 May 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered.

VOTING BY WAY OF A POLL

According to 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. Therefore, poll voting for all proposed resolutions of the Company will be proceeded with at the AGM.

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative, shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he/she is the holder. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote needs not use all his/her votes or cast all the votes he/she uses in the same way.

There is no Shareholder who has any material interest in the proposed resolutions regarding the General Mandate and Repurchase Mandate, therefore none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on such resolutions.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board is of the opinion that the declaration of the final dividend, the proposed re-election of the retiring Directors, the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and the General Mandate and the extension of the General Mandate are in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and accordingly recommend all the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

This appendix contains particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

PROPOSED SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

It is proposed that the Directors be granted the Repurchase Mandate such that they may exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase up to 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue as of the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 1,883,295,000 Shares and they were all fully paid up.

Accordingly, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full (being the repurchase of 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue as of the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate) would enable the Company to repurchase a maximum of 188,329,500

Shares (assuming no Share is issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM).

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, the Directors believe that an ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value for each Share and/or earnings for each Share. The Directors would only make such purchases in circumstances where they consider them to be in the best interests of the Company.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In making repurchase, the Company proposes to apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles, the Listing Rules and the Companies Law. Under the Companies Law, Shares repurchased by the Company may only be paid out of profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by its memorandum of association, the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on share repurchase may only be paid out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

IMPACT OF REPURCHASE

On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2020 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up) and in particular the working capital position of the Company at that time and the number of Shares now in issue, the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital position and the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full. No repurchase would be made by the Company in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital position or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements).

SHARE PRICE

UNDERTAKING

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, none of the core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell his/her/its Shares to the Company, nor has he/she/it undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles and the Companies Law.

TAKEOVERS CODES

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 purpose of Rule 32 of the 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as is known to the Directors, the following person was the Substantial Shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company:

As of the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. LU Ruibo, being a controlling shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, together with its associates, was beneficially interested in 1,147,029,787 Shares, representing approximately 60.91% of the issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date, in the event that the Directors exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, the interests of Mr. LU Ruibo, together with its associates, in the Company would be increased to approximately 67.67% of the issued share capital. Such increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares being held by the public shareholders is 499,111,559, or being 26.50% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the extent that the purchase would result in the number of Shares being held by the public shareholders to fall below 25% of the number of issued Shares of the Company nor to the extent that would result in an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Code as a result of any repurchase made under the Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, there was no repurchase of its Shares made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
