The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information of the resolutions to be proposed, and if thought fit, to be approved at the Annual General Meeting in respect of:

  1. the re-election of the retiring Directors;
  2. the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and the Issuance Mandate to the Directors;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the declaration of payment of a final dividend of HK$0.2661 (equivalent to approximately US$0.0343) per Share; and
  2. the Share Purchase Agreements.

2. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 16.2 of the Articles of Association, any Director who is appointed by the Board either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting. In addition, pursuant to Article 16.19 of the Articles of Association, 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 by rotation at least once every three years. Any Director required to stand for re-election pursuant to Article 16.2 shall not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors and which Directors are to retire by rotation. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election.

In accordance with Article 16.2 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Mao Wei, who was appointed as a Director on August 25, 2020, shall retire from his office as Director at the Annual General Meeting, and being eligible, will offer himself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with Article 16.19 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Wang Xuning, Ms. Han Run, Ms. Huang Shuling, Mr. Hui Chi Kin Max, Mr. Stassi Anastas Anastassov, Dr. Wong Tin Yau Kelvin, Mr. Timothy Roberts Warner and Mr. Yang Xianxiang, shall retire from their offices as Directors by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. All of the above retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

The biographical details of the retiring Directors are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The Nomination Committee had assessed and reviewed the written confirmation of independence of each of the independent non-executive Directors who have offered themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting (namely, Dr. Wong Tin Yau Kelvin, Mr. Timothy Roberts Warner and Mr. Yang Xianxiang) based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is satisfied that all of them remain independent in accordance with Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

Based on the board diversity policy adopted by the Company, the Nomination Committee considers that Dr. Wong Tin Yau Kelvin, Mr. Timothy Roberts Warner and Mr. Yang Xianxiang have diversified cultural background and language skills, as well as a broad range of educational background (including degrees in engineering, economics, business administration, English literature and history) and working experience in different countries and regions. The independent non-executive Directors also have a balanced mix of knowledge and skills with different industry backgrounds.

The Nomination Committee is of the view that each of Dr. Wong Tin Yau Kelvin, Mr. Timothy Roberts Warner and Mr. Yang Xianxiang would bring to the Board their own perspective, skills and experience, including in business administration, finance, corporate governance and compliance, as further described in their respective biographies in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board has noted that as of the Latest Practicable Date, Dr. Wong held directorships with seven listed companies (including the Company). However, the Board is of the view that Dr. Wong would still be able to devote sufficient time to the Board for the following reasons:

  • Dr. Wong's role in the Group is non-executive in nature and he will not be involved in the daily management of Group's business, and thus his engagement as an independent non-executive Director will not require his full-time participation;
  • except for COSCO SHIPPING Ports Limited, Dr. Wong is neither a full-time member of the listed companies nor involved in day-to-day operations or management of such companies, and thus has no management responsibility therein;
  • Dr. Wong has maintained a high attendance rate for board meetings, committee meetings and shareholders' meetings for the listed companies during the respective latest financial periods since his appointment date;
  • with his knowledge and experience, Dr. Wong has not found difficulties in devoting his time to and managing his time with the listed companies in which he serves as an independent non-executive director, and he is confident that with his experience in being responsible for several roles, he will be able to fulfill his duties to the Company properly; and
  • none of the listed companies that he holds directorships with has questioned or complained about his time devoted to such listed companies.

Dr. Wong has undertaken to devote sufficient time to attend to his work as an independent non-executive Director of the Company, and also, based on the foregoing, the Board does not have reason to believe that the directorships currently held by Dr. Wong will result in his having insufficient time to act as an independent non-executive Director of the Company or improperly discharge his fiduciary duties as a Director of the Company. In addition, Dr. Wong intends to retire from his position of acting as an independent non-executive director in I.T Limited (stock code: 999), after its privatization by way of a scheme of arrangement and withdrawal of listing, which is expected to happen on April 30, 2021 according to the current timetable on the composite document dated March 21, 2021 and announcement dated April 16, 2021.

Recommendation of the Nomination Committee with respect to the Directors subject to re-election at the Annual General Meeting

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience, time commitment and contributions of the retiring Directors, having regard to the nomination policy and the board diversity policy of the Company. The Nomination Committee is of the view that the retiring Directors have extensive experience in different fields and professions that are relevant to the Company's business. In addition, their respective background, experience and knowledge allow them to provide valuable and relevant insights and contribute to the diversity of the Board. Accordingly, the Nomination Committee has recommended them to the Board for re-election and the Board has endorsed the recommendations of the Nomination Committee and recommended all retiring Directors to stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATES TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND TO ISSUE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 5, 2020, general mandates were granted to the Directors to (i) exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares with an aggregate number of not more than 10% of the aggregate number of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such ordinary resolution; and (ii) allot, issue or deal with additional Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of such ordinary resolution, and such general mandate was extended by adding the total number of Shares repurchased by the Company.

Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase Shares and issue Shares if and when appropriate, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve:

  1. the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares with an aggregate number of not more than 10% of the aggregate number of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such ordinary resolution (i.e. 349,461,227 Shares, on the basis that the total number of issued Shares will remain unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting);
  2. the granting of the Issuance Mandate to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with additional Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of such ordinary resolution (i.e. 698,922,455 Shares on the basis that the total number of issued Shares will remain unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting); and
  3. the extension of the Issuance Mandate by adding the total number of Shares repurchased by the Company since the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

Each of the Share Repurchase Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will remain in effect until the earliest of the following:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company;
  2. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held under any applicable laws or the Articles of Association; or
  3. it is varied, revoked or renewed by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting.

The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase any Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate or to issue any Shares pursuant to the Issuance Mandate.

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

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. PROPOSED FINAL DIVIDEND

On March 31 2021, the Board recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK$0.2661 (equivalent to approximately US$0.0343) per Share for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Final Dividend") to the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on June 4, 2021, subject to approval by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The Final Dividend will be paid in Hong Kong dollars, which is expected to be payable on or around July 30, 2021.

5. CONNECTED TRANSACTION - SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

On April 6, 2021, each Seller entered into the Share Purchase Agreements with the Purchaser, respectively, pursuant to which, the Sellers collectively agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the Target Shares representing approximately 16.247% of the total issued shares of Shanghai Lihong as at the Latest Practicable Date, for a total consideration of approximately RMB1,155.61 million.

The principal terms of the Share Purchase Agreements are summarized below:

Date

April 6, 2021

Parties

  1. Sellers: the Controlling Shareholders Group, Shanghai Hezhou and the Other Individual Shareholders; and
  2. Purchaser: JS Global Trading.

Subject Matter

Target Shares, being approximately 13.604% of equity interest of Shanghai Lihong held by the Controlling Shareholders Group, approximately 0.003% of equity interest of Shanghai Lihong held by Shanghai Hezhou and approximately 2.640% of equity interest of Shanghai Lihong held by the Other Individual Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Consideration

The Consideration is approximately RMB1,155.61 million, which is payable by the Purchaser to the Sellers in cash within approximately 3 months after the Company is registered with the relevant PRC authorities as the legal owner of the Target Shares. The Consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between the parties with reference to, among others, the value of the Target Shares of approximately RMB1,275.64 million as at the valuation reference date of January 31, 2021 as set out in a valuation report (the "Valuation Report") based on assets appraisal standards of the PRC prepared by

the independent valuer engaged by the Company, namely Shanghai Zhonghua Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. (上海眾華資產評估有限公司). The summary of Valuation Report is set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, Shanghai Lihong held two subsidiaries, namely Joyoung as to approximately 50.12% and Zheng Hong Development Company Limited ("Zheng Hong") as to 100%. Given Zheng Hong is not engaged in any actual business operations, the value of Shanghai Lihong's equity investments in Zheng Hong is insignificant and the 50.12% equity interests of Joyoung constitute the major assets of Shanghai Lihong. The Valuation Report was prepared based on the audited single financial statements of Shanghai Lihong, with considerations including, among others, the total net liabilities of Zheng Hong and the value of Shanghai Lihong's equity investments in Joyoung as of the Valuation Reference Date.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company has sufficient cash resources generated from its business operations and is therefore able to pay the Consideration with its proprietary funds. The Company does not intend to use the proceeds from its listing to pay the Consideration.

Conditions Precedent

The Transaction is conditional upon the satisfaction of, inter alia, the following conditions:

  1. the passing of the resolution by the Independent Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to approve the Share Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder;
  2. the completion of the relevant approval, registration and filing procedures with the competent local counterparts of State Administration for Market Regulation, Ministry of Commerce and State Administration of Foreign Exchange with respect to the Share Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder (the "Approval Procedures"); and
  3. the opening of relevant capital realization accounts by the Sellers to receive their respective purchase price (the "Seller Accounts").

Completion

Completion shall take place within 60 business days after completion of the Approval Procedures and the opening of the Seller Accounts or such other time as mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Sellers. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement entered into by the Purchaser and each Seller, completion of the relevant share transfers is not inter-conditional.

Upon Completion, Shanghai Lihong will be owned as to approximately 99.145% by JS Global Trading and approximately 0.855% by Easy Appliance (Hong Kong) and therefore become an indirect wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the requirements relating to certain pre-existing loan facilities (the "Facilities") granted to the Company and Global Appliance LLC (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) on March 17, 2020, the Purchaser shall pledge all of the equity interests in Shanghai Lihong it holds to the security agent under the Facilities. Therefore, upon completion of the Transaction, the Target Shares will be pledged by the Purchaser in favour of the security agent under the Facilities as security for the Facilities.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Reference is made to the section headed "Relationship with our Controlling Shareholders - Potential conflicts of interest and corporate governance measures" of the Prospectus. As disclosed in the Prospectus, upon completion of the then reorganization of the Company, the Controlling Shareholders Group remained to hold approximately 13.604% equity interest in Shanghai Lihong (the "Remaining Interest") due to certain PRC regulatory restrictions and potential burdensome tax payment on the part of the Controlling Shareholders Group. As such, the Company, the Controlling Shareholders Group and Shanghai Lihong, at the time of the proposed listing of the Company, undertook to unwind the Remaining Interest held by the Controlling Shareholders Group as soon as practicable. For the purpose of fulfilling such undertaking, the Company, the Controlling Shareholders Group and Shanghai Lihong, together with the Purchaser, Shanghai Hezhou and Other Individual Shareholders, had commercial negotiations and reached consensus on the terms of the Share Purchase Agreements.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company will have full ownership and control over Shanghai Lihong, which enables us to better manage and operate Shanghai Lihong and its subsidiaries (including Joyoung) and enjoy more economic benefits thereof. Further, upon the completion, Shanghai Lihong will cease to be a connected subsidiary of our Company. As a result, the Company and its other subsidiaries are allowed to carry out transactions with Shanghai Lihong in a more direct, efficient and cost-saving way.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, are of the view that the entering of the Share Purchase Agreements has been conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group on normal commercial terms, and the terms therein (including the Consideration) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON SHANGHAI LIHONG

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION

IN RELATION TO SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The resolution in relation to the Share Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be put forward in the forthcoming AGM to seek the Independent Shareholders' approval. As the Controlling Shareholders Group indirectly controls the Company through JS Holding, Mr. Wang Xuning, a member of the Controlling Shareholders Group, directly and indirectly through Sol SPC holds the Shares, Ms. Han Run and Ms. Yang Ningning, members of the Controlling Shareholders Group, directly hold the Shares, JS Holding, Sol SPC, Mr. Wang Xuning, Ms. Han Run and Ms. Yang Ningning and their respective associates will abstain from voting with respect to the relevant resolution at the AGM. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, save as the aforesaid, no other Shareholders will be required to abstain from voting in respect of the relevant resolution.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely, Dr. Wong Tin Yau Kelvin, Mr. Timothy Roberts Warner and Mr. Yang Xianxiang, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Transaction. We have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to give an independent opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in such regard.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, China Tonghai Capital Limited did not have any relationships with or interests in the Group or the Sellers which could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. In the last two years, there was no engagement between the Group and China Tonghai Capital Limited. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the independent financial adviser, no arrangement exist whereby we had received any fees or benefits from the aforesaid companies. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the Transaction.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our recommendation, we have relied on, among other things, (i) the information, facts and representations contained or referred to in the Circular; (ii) the information, facts and representations provided by the Company; (iii) the beliefs, opinions and intentions expressed by and the representations of the Directors and the management of the Group (the "Management"); (iv) the valuation report dated 28 April 2021 (the "Valuation Report") prepared by Shanghai Zhonghua Asset Evaluation Co., Ltd. (the "Valuer"); and (v) our review of the relevant public information. We have assumed that the information and facts contained in the Valuation Report, information, facts and opinions provided and representations and beliefs, opinions and intentions expressed to us or contained or referred to in the Circular were true, accurate and complete in all respects as at the date thereof and may be relied upon. We have also assumed that all statements contained and information, facts and representations made to us or referred to in the Circular are true at the time they were made and continue to be true as at the Latest Practicable Date and all statements of belief, opinions and intentions of the Directors and the Management and those as set out or referred to in the Circular were reasonably made after due and careful enquiry.

We have also sought and received confirmation from the Directors that no material facts have been withheld or omitted from the information, representations, beliefs, opinions and intentions provided to us or contained or referred to in the Circular and that all information or representations provided to us by the Directors and the Management are true, accurate, complete and not misleading in all respects at the time they were made and continued to be so until and including at the date of the AGM.

- 18 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information currently available to reach an informed view so as to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided, representations made or belief, opinions and intentions expressed by the Directors and the Management, nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the business, affairs, operations, financial position, financial forecast or future prospects of the Group (including Shanghai Lihong and its subsidiaries (the "Shanghai Lihong Group")). We have not conducted any independent appraisal of the assets and liabilities of Shanghai Lihong, neither have we conducted any independent verification of the information contained in the Valuation Report.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Reasons for and benefits of the Transaction

As disclosed in the Prospectus, upon completion of the then reorganisation of the Company, the Controlling Shareholders Group remained to hold the Remaining Interest, being approximately 13.604% equity interest in Shanghai Lihong, due to certain PRC regulatory restrictions and potential burdensome tax payment on the part of the Controlling Shareholders Group. As such, the Company, the Controlling Shareholders Group and Shanghai Lihong, at the time of the proposed listing of the Company, undertook to unwind the Remaining Interest held by the Controlling Shareholders Group as soon as practicable.

For the purpose of fulfilling such undertaking, the Company, the Controlling Shareholders Group and Shanghai Lihong, together with the Purchaser, Shanghai Hezhou and Other Individual Shareholders, had commercial negotiations and reached consensus on the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement to acquire the Target Shares, being approximately 16.247% equity interest in Shanghai Lihong.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company will have full ownership and control over Shanghai Lihong, which enables the Company to better manage and operate Shanghai Lihong Group (including Joyoung and its subsidiaries (the "Joyoung Group")) and enjoy more economic benefits. Upon Completion, Shanghai Lihong will cease to be a connected subsidiary of the Company. As a result, the Company and its other subsidiaries are allowed to carry out transactions with Shanghai Lihong in a more direct, efficient and cost-saving way.

Overall comments

It is noted that Joyoung Group and the Group (other than the Joyoung Group) have entered into certain continuing connected transactions. Upon Completion, Shanghai Lihong will cease to be a connected subsidiary of the Company. As such, any transactions between the Shanghai Lihong Group (including the Joyoung Group) on one hand and the Group (other than the Shanghai Lihong Group) on the other hand will no longer constitute connected transactions that would be subject to disclosure and independent shareholders' approval requirement under the Listing Rules. Thus, we concur with the Company's view that any transactions between the Shanghai Lihong Group and the Group (other than the Shanghai Lihong Group) will be conducted in a more efficient and cost-saving way after Completion. More importantly, as the Controlling Shareholders Group will no longer own any interest in Shanghai Lihong, this will eliminate any potential or perceived conflict of interest for any transactions between the Shanghai Lihong Group and the Group (other than the Shanghai Lihong Group) after Completion.

As stated in the section headed "4. Information on Shanghai Lihong" below, the principal asset of Shanghai Lihong is the 50.12% equity interest in Joyoung. As shown in the section headed "5. Information on Joyoung" below, the Joyoung Group's revenue and net profit both grew for each of the two years ended 31 December 2020.

- 19 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having taken into account the aforesaid, we concur with the Directors' view that the Transaction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration was analysed in the section headed "6. Evaluation of the Consideration" below.

Year ended 31 December 2019 compared to year ended 31 December 2018

Revenue increased by approximately 12.5% from approximately US$2,681.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 to approximately US$3,016.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 as a result of the increase in revenue from both of the Joyoung segment and the SharkNinja segment.

The increase in revenue generated from the Joyoung segment by approximately 8.6% from approximately US$1,179.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 to approximately US$1,280.0 million was mainly attributable to the user centric and demand oriented strategy, introducing a series of innovative as well as adorable and stylish products targeting young people to the market. The revenue generated from the Joyoung segment accounted for approximately 42.4% and 44.0% of the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018 respectively.

For the year ended 31 December 2019, revenue from the SharkNinja segment amounted to US$1,736.1 million, representing an increase of approximately 17.5% from approximately US$1,477.4 million in the previous year. The revenue growth of the SharkNinja segment was mainly due to the increase in sales of cooking appliance in North America and strong sales growth in the European market. The revenue generated from the SharkNinja segment accounted for approximately 57.6% and 55.1% of the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018 respectively.

Cost of sales mainly consists of procurement cost of finished products, raw materials and components, inbound transportation costs, taxes, duties and surcharges and other costs primarily consist of certain labour and overhead costs associated with the procurement and importation of finished goods.

The gross profit margin of the Joyoung segment and the SharkNinja segment remained stable for the year ended 31 December 2019 as compared to the year ended 31 December 2018.

- 22 -

Overall comments

As stated in the section headed "3. Information on the Group" above, one of the principal activities of the Group is the manufacture and sale of small kitchen electrical appliances under the brand of "Joyoung" in PRC. The revenue from the Joyoung segment accounted for approximately 34.9% of the total revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 (year ended 31 December 2019: approximately 42.4%). The revenue from the Joyoung segment recorded year-on-year growth rates of approximately 8.6% and approximately 14.3% for the year ended 31 December 2019 and the year ended 31 December 2020, respectively.

As shown in this section, net profit of the Joyoung Group increased by approximately

9.3% from the year ended 31 December 2019 to the year ended 31 December 2020 and further increased by approximately 14.1% to approximately RMB940.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Given that (i) the Joyoung segment is a major revenue contributor to the Group and (ii) the Joyoung Group's revenue and net profit both grew for each of the two years ended 31 December 2020, we consider that the Transaction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole in this regard.

6. Evaluation of the Consideration

The Consideration of approximately RMB1,155.61 million, representing a discount of approximately 9.41% to the Appraised Value.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As stated in the section headed "4. Information on Shanghai Lihong" above, Zheng Hong is not engaged in any business operations and the principal asset of Shanghai Lihong is the 50.12% equity interest in Joyoung. As Joyoung Shares are traded on an open and liquid market, we consider that the fair value of the Joyoung Shares held by Shanghai Lihong shall be based on market price but not the underlying net asset value of the Joyoung Group. The Valuer has adopted the market price to determine the appraised value of the Joyoung Shares held by Shanghai Lihong as discussed below.

In order to assess the basis in determining the Appraised Value, we have reviewed the Valuation Report and discussed with the Valuer. We noted that the Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with the Asset Valuation Standards - Basic Standards issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Principles of Asset Appraisal Practice and Code of Ethics issued by China Appraisal Society. In addition, we have also reviewed and enquired the Valuer's qualification and experience in relation to the business valuation. We understand that the Valuer has the relevant experience and the Valuer is independent of the Company, its subsidiaries, holding companies and associated companies as well as the Sellers. We have reviewed the scope of the Valuer's mandate and there is no qualification in scope that would adversely impact the reliability of the Valuation Report.

Following discussions with the Valuer, we understand that the Valuer has considered (i) income approach; (ii) market approach; and (iii) asset-based approach. The Valuer has considered that the income approach was not appropriate as the future operating and financial performance of Joyoung and the Investee (as defined below) is highly uncertain. The Valuer has considered that the market approach was not appropriate due to the fact that no comparable companies of Shanghai Lihong with sufficient operational and financial data are available on the public domain. The Valuer has adopted the asset-based approach that involves the assessment of the value of individual items of assets and liabilities as of the valuation date. Taking into consideration of Shanghai Lihong is an investment holding company, in particular, its principal asset is the 50.12% equity interest in Joyoung and shares of Joyoung (the "Joyoung Shares") are traded on an open and liquid market, we consider that the asset-based approach is appropriate in determining the Appraised Value.

The Valuer has determined the Appraised Value as at 31 January 2021 with reference to the audited financial statements of Shanghai Lihong for the 25 months ended 31 January 2021.

Based on the Valuation Report and our discussion with the Valuer, the valuation methodologies adopted by the Valuer on major items of assets and liabilities (with appraised value in bracket) are summarised below:

  • Cash and bank balances (approximately RMB1,072.3 million). The Valuer has checked the bank statements and bank reconciliation to verify the amount as at 31 January 2021. The appraised value of cash and bank balances is equivalent to the book value as at 31 January 2021.
  • Other receivables (approximately RMB96.3 million). We understand that the Valuer has agreed the balances of other receivables to accounting records and the relevant agreements as well as sent confirmations to debtors of material balance to verify the outstanding balances. The Valuer has assessed the recoverability of other receivables to determine the appraised value.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • Long-termequity investment (approximately RMB102.8 million). The long-terminvestment represented the holding of approximately 15.58% equity interest in a fund (the "Investee") that is principally engaged in investment in private companies in PRC. The Valuer has checked the documents including the investment agreement and accounting record to verify the existence of the investment, the shareholding interest and the investment amount of Shanghai Lihong in the Investee. The appraised value of the long-termequity investment is equivalent to 15.58% of net asset value of the Investee based on the accounts of the Investee as at 31 December 2020.
  • Other equity investment (approximately RMB10,839.7 million). Other equity investment represented the holding of approximately 50.12% equity interest in Joyoung. The appraised value of the shares of Joyoung Joyoung Shares held by Shanghai Lihong was determined based on the closing price of Joyoung Shares of RMB28.19 as at the valuation date, being 31 January 2021 (the "Joyoung Benchmark Price").
    We have assessed the Joyoung Benchmark Price, details of which were set out in the section headed "7. Assessment of the Joyoung Benchmark Price" below. Based on our comparison, the then prevailing average share prices prior to the date of the Share Purchase Agreements were higher than the Joyoung Benchmark Price.
  • Deferred tax liabilities (approximately RMB2,637.3 million). The appraised value of deferred tax liabilities as at 31 January 2021 was calculated based on the difference between the investment cost and the fair value of the Joyoung Shares held by Shanghai Lihong as at 31 January 2021 based on the Joyoung Benchmark Price and the applicable tax rate.
  • Tax payables and other payables (approximately RMB187.9 million). The Valuer has assessed the amount of actual tax payables and other payables borne by Shanghai Lihong as at 31 January 2021. The appraised value of tax payables and other payables items are equivalent to their book value as at 31 January 2021.
    The Valuer has applied a discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") of 15.8% in deriving the Appraised Value. The DLOM reflects the fact that there is no ready market for shares of private companies. We understand that the DLOM of 15.8% adopted by the Valuer is the same as the median DLOM as stated in the 2020 edition of Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide by Stout Risius Ross, LLC. The Valuer advised that the median DLOM adopted is more appropriate than the average DLOM as the median DLOM excludes the extreme cases and, thus, the median DLOM is more representative. Based on the website of Business Valuation Resources, LLC and Stout Risius Ross, LLC, it is noted that (i) Stout Risius Ross, LLC is a global investment bank and advisory firm specialising in corporate finance, valuation, financial disputes, and investigations; and (ii) the Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide is the largest fully-vetted discount for DLOM database that provides the empirical support needed to determine a DLOM. As advised by the Valuer, the Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide is commonly used by valuers to determine DLOM. We have searched on the website of the Stock Exchange and we note that certain valuation reports (contained in circulars issued by listed companies) adopted the Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide to determine DLOM. Based on the aforementioned, we consider that the DLOM adopted by the Valuer to be appropriate.

Overall comments

We have discussed with the Management in respect of the nature of the assets and liabilities. We have reviewed the valuation methodologies and basis for the individual items of assets and liabilities as set out in the Valuation Report. We have also discussed with the Valuer the valuation methodologies and the basis adopted in arriving at the Appraised Value as well as its due diligence work. The Valuer has determined the Appraised Value with reference to the audited financial statements of Shanghai Lihong for the 25 months ended 31 January 2021. It is noted that the financial statements were audited by PRC certified public accountants.

Taking into consideration of (i) we consider that the valuation methodologies and basis adopted by the Valuer are appropriate; (ii) the then prevailing average Joyoung Share prices prior to the date of the Share Purchase Agreements were higher than the Joyoung Benchmark Price; and (iii) the Consideration represented a discount of approximately 9.41% to the Appraisal Value, we consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

7. Assessment of the Joyoung Benchmark Price

As stated in the section headed "6. Evaluation of the Consideration" above, the Valuer has determined the fair value of the Joyoung Shares held by Shanghai Lihong as at 31 January 2021 based on the Joyoung Benchmark Price, being RMB28.19 per Joyoung Share.

Joyoung Shares are listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Thus, we consider that the adoption of the Joyoung Benchmark Price to determine the appraised value of the Target Shares as at 31 January 2021 is appropriate. As Joyoung Shares are traded on an open and liquid market, we consider that for the purpose of assessing the Joyoung Benchmark Price, the then prevailing market prices prior to the execution of the Share Purchase Agreements shall be considered.

The Joyoung Benchmark Price of RMB28.19 per Joyoung Share represents:

  1. a discount of approximately 15.17% to the closing price of RMB33.23 per Joyoung Share as quoted on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on the date of the Share Purchase Agreements, being 6 April 2021 (the "Last Trading Date");
  2. a discount of approximately 12.59% to the average closing price of approximately RMB32.25 per Joyoung Share as quoted on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for the five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;
  3. a discount of approximately 9.47% to the average closing price of approximately RMB31.14 per Joyoung Share as quoted on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;
  4. a discount of approximately 9.82% to the average closing price of approximately RMB31.26 per Joyoung Share as quoted on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for the 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date; and
  5. a discount of approximately 12.32% to the average closing price of approximately RMB32.15 per Joyoung Share as quoted on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for the 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As shown above, the Joyoung Benchmark Price is lower than the then prevailing Joyoung Share prices prior to the Last Trading Date.

It is noted that the Joyoung Benchmark Price is equivalent to the lowest closing Joyoung Share price for the one year period up to and including the Last Trading Date, being RMB28.19 per Joyoung Share.

Overall comments

Based on the fact that the Joyoung Benchmark Price is lower than the then prevailing Joyoung Share prices prior to the Last Trading Date, we consider that the Joyoung Benchmark Price is favourable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

8. Financial effects of the Transaction

Shanghai Lihong is a non-wholly subsidiary of the Company and its financial results are consolidated to the consolidated accounts of the Group. After completion of the Transaction, the Company's equity interest in Shanghai Lihong will increase from approximately 83.753% to 100%. The financial effects of the Transaction set out below are hypothetical analyses based on historical financial results.

  1. Earnings

As Shanghai Lihong recorded profits for each of the two years ended 31 December 2020, it is expected that the Group's share of profit in Shanghai Lihong would be increased following Completion.

  1. Working capital

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing bank borrowings of approximately US$570.8 million and US$939.4 million, respectively. Net debt (defined as borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) of approximately US$368.6 million. For illustrative purpose, the Consideration of approximately RMB1,155.61 million is equivalent to approximately US$176.2 million.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Group has sufficient cash resources generated from its business operations and is therefore able to pay the Consideration with its proprietary funds.

We are advised that taking into account the financial resources and banking facilities available to the Group, the Management consider that there will be no material adverse impact on the working capital position of the Group upon Completion.

  1. Assets and liabilities

The audited consolidated net asset value of the Group was approximately US$1,920.4 million as at 31 December 2020. As confirmed by the Management, the Transaction would not have any material impact on the net asset value of the Group.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable such Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 3,494,612,277.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the total number of issued Shares will remain unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, being 3,494,612,277 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, up to 349,461,227 Shares, representing approximately 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders for the Directors to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such 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 where the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE

Repurchase of the Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors may not repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, the Directors may make repurchases with profits of the Company or out of a new issuance of shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Cayman Companies Law, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Cayman Companies Law, out of capital.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, under the circumstances, have a material adverse effect in the opinion of the Directors on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing levels. However, 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 December 31, 2020 in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercise.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a securities repurchase pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of the increase of the Shareholders' interest, 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 as a result.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Controlling Shareholders Group, consisting of Mr. Wang Xuning, Mr. Zhu Hongtao, Mr. Zhu Zechun, Ms. Yang Ningning, Ms. Huang Shuling, Ms. Han Run and Mr. Jiang Guangyong, is a group of individuals holding their interests in the Company through a common investment holding entity, namely, JS Holding, and held 1,603,578,331 Shares, representing approximately 45.89% of the total Shares.

The percentage shareholding of the Controlling Shareholders Group will increase from approximately 45.89% to approximately 50.99% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately following the full exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate, which may trigger an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that, under the circumstances, would remain insufficient public float as prescribed under the Listing Rules or which would trigger a mandatory general offer obligation under the Takeovers Code.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF VALUATION REPORT

IX. Notes on Special Matters

We would like to emphasize that: the valuation opinion only serves as a value reference for the parties to conduct the equity transaction, but not a substitute for the decision of each party in respect of the equity transaction price. The Valuation Report and its valuation conclusion can only be used for the intention and purpose specified therein, and any use for other purpose shall be deemed as invalid.

The Chinese version of the Valuation Report shall prevail should there be any inconsistency between the Chinese version and the English version.

The above content is extracted from the text of the Valuation Report. For more details of the valuation and a proper comprehension of the valuation conclusion, please read the text of the Valuation Report carefully. We would like to remind users of the Valuation Report to pay attention to the valuation assumptions, limitations, notes on special maters and their impact on the valuation conclusion.

Supplemental Notes:

  • Applicability Analysis and Selection of Valuation Approach

According to the Basic Appraisal Standards, there are three basic appraisal approaches to determine the appraised value, namely the market approach, the income approach and the asset-based approach, and their derivative approaches.

The valuation adopts the asset-based approach as the valuation approach, with the reasons listed below:

The condition for adopting the market approach is that there is an active open market, in which information of the same or similar comparable companies can be collected and the available operating and financial data of comparable companies are sufficient and reliable. After the investigation and analysis, we conclude that there are no available comparable companies in the open market that are the same as or similar to the Valuation Entity with sufficient and reliable operating and financial data. Therefore, the market approach is not applicable to the valuation.

Considering that the Valuation Entity is primarily engaged in enterprise management and has Joyoung Co., Ltd. (002422.SZ) ("Joyoung") and Xinjiang Share Capital Partnership (LP) (新疆分享創贏創業投資 合夥企業(有限合夥)under its investment management, we are of the view that the future profitability of

these two companies is highly uncertain due to the difficulty to predict and quantify the future income and measure the risks to achieve the expected income. Therefore, the income approach is not applicable to the valuation.

The Valuation Entity has complete financial data and asset management information that are available for use, and data and information about the re-acquisition costs of assets can be sourced from a variety of channels. There is an inherent relationship and substitution relation between the asset replacement cost and the current market price and present value of income of the asset. Therefore, the asset-based approach is applicable to the valuation.

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF VALUATION REPORT

  • Main Procedures of Valuation

In light of the purpose of the valuation, due to the lack of liquidity of the target company in the open market, the proposed acquisition of its shareholders' equity requires further consideration of discount factors by way of discount to arrive at the valuation of the part of shareholders' equity.

Appraised value of the part of shareholders' equity = Value of total equity × (1 - liquidity discount) × share proportion

Value of total equity = Aggregate of all assets' appraised value - Aggregate of all liabilities' appraised value

  1. Cash and bank balances: Cash and bank balances are verified by the bank statement, the bank reconciliation and other documents, and the verified book value is adopted in the determination of appraised value.
  2. Financial assets held for trading: Equities. Upon the verification of the value composition and the number of shares subscribed for, the appraised value of equities is determined by multiplying the closing price as at the valuation reference date with the number of shares subscribed for.
  3. Other receivables: After verification and checking to accounting records and original documents as well as arranging confirmations in respect of material amounts, other receivables would be adjusted by the valuers for probability of bad debts (if any) by taking into account, among other things, (a) reasons for the outstanding amount; (b) status of recovery; (c) receivable aging; and (d) credibility, financial conditions and operation conditions of debtors.
  4. The long-term equity investment

The long-term investment of the Valuation Entity is the 15.58% equity interest of Xinjiang Share Capital Partnership (LP) held in the capacity of LP. The valuation verifies and analyses the reasons and the actual conditions of the long-term investment through reviewing the relevant investment agreement, the resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the articles of association, the relevant accounting records. With the truthfulness and completeness ensured, the valuation determines the appraised value by multiplying the book value of net asset recorded in the financial statements of the invested entity for the latest period before the valuation reference date with the share proportion.

5. Other equity investment

The valuation verifies the reasons, the book value, the actual conditions and other information of investments in other equity investment to ensure the truthfulness and completeness. As Joyoung is a listed company, the valuation of other equity investment determines by multiplying the market price of Joyoung with the number of shares held by the Valuation Entity at the valuation reference date;

Unit price of Joyoung at the valuation reference date = Closing price at the valuation reference date (RMB28.19 per share)

Appraised value of Joyoung = Unit price at the valuation reference date × Number of shares held at the valuation reference date

- 58 -

APPENDIX IV

SUMMARY OF VALUATION REPORT

6. Investment properties

Properties included in the valuation are commercial properties purchased by the Valuation Entity. The valuation adopts the market approach to assess the properties and land collectively. Under such approach, the appraised value is determined based on the price of the transactions in the similar or same area and type on the valuation reference date with corresponding correction and restoration.

7. Equipment - vehicles

The appraised value is mainly determined by deducting the physical and functional depreciation from the vehicle replacement cost.

8. Liabilities

We verify the existence of creditors and amount of liabilities by way of, among other things, checking to underlying books and records, sample check to relevant agreements and contracts, and creditors' confirmations in respect of material amounts so as to determine the actual liabilities for appraisal purpose.

Among these liabilities, we determine the appraised value of deferred tax liabilities upon the difference between the investment cost of Joyoung held by the Valuation Entity and the fair value of such investment as at the valuation reference date, with reference to the applicable tax rate.

9. Liquidity discount

The study, Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide (2020 Edition), which contains 759 restricted stock transactions with different trading and company characteristics, provides users with the most widely used and accepted database for determining the discount regarding the lack of market liquidity. In the study, Stout conducted a research on 759 private-equity deals of unregistered ordinary shares (irrespective of registration rights) issued by listed companies from July 1980 to December 2019. The overall average DLOM for all 759 transactions (as at June 2020) in the study applied was 20.6% and the median discount was 15.8%.

We are convinced by the study, and hold the view that the adoption of median discount is more appropriate than the average discount provided by the Stout study, as the median discount excludes the extremes and is more representative. Therefore, 15.8% is chosen to be the liquidity discount.

  • Valuation conclusion and analysis on major items of assets and liabilities
    Cash and bank balances:

As at 31 January 2021, the book value of cash and bank balances is RMB1,072.27 million. The appraised value is RMB1,072.27 million. The appraised value of cash and bank balances is equivalent to the book value.

  • Other receivables:

As at 31 January 2021, the book value of other receivables is RMB96.30 million. The appraised value is RMB96.30 million. The appraised value of other receivables is equivalent to the book value.

Among the other receivables, approximately RMB50 million was a loan receivable from Zheng Hong. Given that JS Holding has undertaken to Shanghai Lihong that if Zheng Hong is unable to repay to its loan due, JS Holding will provide funds or use other methods accepted by Shanghai Lihong to procure Zheng Hong to satisfy its repayment obligations, it is concluded that no write down of such other receivables is needed.
