  1. RE-APPOINTMENTOF THE COMPANY'S EXTERNAL AUDITOR;
  2. PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES; AND
    1. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide Shareholders with the notice of AGM and further

information on the following proposals that will be put forward at the AGM for Shareholders' approval: (a) the re-election of the retiring Directors; (b) the re-appointment of our Company's external auditor; and (c) the granting of general mandates to our Directors to issue Shares and repurchase Shares.

LETTER FROM OUR BOARD

2. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 84(2) of the Articles of Association, Mr. YU Minhong ("Mr. Yu"), Ms. LEUNG Yu Hua Catherine ("Ms. Leung"), and Mr. TONG Sui Bau ("Mr. Tong") will retire as Directors by rotation. All of our retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. Pursuant to Article 83(3) of the Articles of Association, Mr. LIN Zheying ("Mr. Lin"), having been appointed as a Director by our Board, with effect from 20 January 2020, will retire as Director by rotation, and being eligible, will also offer himself for re-election at the AGM.

When identifying suitable candidates for directorship, the nomination committee of our Board (the "Nomination Committee") considers, among other factors, the skill, experience, background, professional knowledge, personal integrity and time commitments of the proposed candidates, as well as the experience, professional knowledge and other diversifying factors of the Board as a whole, in order to select a candidate (or candidates) who contributes to a Board that would be diverse and well-rounded that would have members who have the relevant experience required, or expected to be required, by our Company. All candidates proposed by the Nomination Committee must meet the standards set out in Rules 3.08 and 3.09 of the Listing Rules. A candidate who is to be appointed as an independent non-executive Director must also meet the independence criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Qualified candidates will be recommended to our Board for approval.

When considering the re-elections of Mr. Tong and Mr. Lin, our Board (with the assistance and recommendation of the Nomination Committee), considered, among other things, the factors listed above, the biographical details of Mr. Tong and Mr. Lin (which are set out in Appendix II to this circular), the composition and diversity of our Board following the re-elections, the tenure and past service on our Board (where any) and the attributes that each of them would bring to our Board and our Company. Having considered the above, our Board is of the view that during their tenure as an independent non-executive Director, each of Mr. Tong and Mr. Lin has made an invaluable contribution to our Company's strategy, policies, performance, and in giving their independent advice and general expertise and views, together with their general understanding of the businesses in which our Group operates. Each of Mr. Tong and Mr. Lin holds directorships in not more than seven listed companies (including our Company) and would be able to devote sufficient time and attention to perform the duties required of an independent non-executive Director. In view of the above, the re-elections of Mr. Tong and Mr. Lin to our Board as independent non- executive Directors are considered to be beneficial to our Company, and our Board is of the view that our Company would be extremely fortunate to have each of Mr. Yu, Ms. Leung, Mr. Tong and Mr. Lin be reelected to, and continue their positions on, our Board.

Biographical details of the four Directors mentioned above are set out in Appendix II to this circular, in accordance with the Listing Rules.

3. RE-APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE TOUCHE TOHMATSU AS OUR COMPANY'S EXTERNAL AUDITOR

Our Board proposes to re-appoint Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as our Company's external auditor until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting following the AGM. A resolution will be proposed to authorise our Board to fix the auditor's remuneration for the ensuring year. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu has indicated their willingness to be re-appointed as our Company's external auditor for the proposed period.

LETTER FROM OUR BOARD

4. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES Overview

Pursuant to the Shareholders' resolution passed on 5 November 2019, our Directors were given:

  1. a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares (or securities convertible to Shares); and (b) a general unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange. Both general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

The purpose of the Share Issue Mandate is to enable our Directors to issue additional Shares should the need arise, while the purpose of the Repurchase Mandate is to give our Directors greater flexibility and direction to repurchase and cancel our Shares on-market should our Directors consider it desirable to repurchase our Shares and, in turn, decrease the total number of Shares issued by our Company and in circulation. Further details on the Repurchase Mandate, including reasons for the mandate, are set out in the "Explanatory statement" in Appendix I to this circular.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, and for the reasons above, our Company will be proposing the Share Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate to replace the general mandates that will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

General mandate to issue Shares

Ordinary resolution 7 will be proposed at the AGM for our Shareholders to grant a general mandate to our Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares up to a limit equal to 20% of our Company's total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution. As at the Latest Practical Date, our Company's total number of issued Shares was 939,965,602 and the maximum number of Shares that can be issued upon exercise of the Share Issue Mandate was 187,993,120 (assuming that the total number of Shares remain unchanged between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM date).

In addition, subject to approval of ordinary resolutions 7 and 8 at the AGM, the number of Shares repurchased by our Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (detailed below) under ordinary resolution 9 will be added to the 20% limit under the proposed general mandate to issue Shares.

The 20% limit to the Share Issue Mandate is imposed pursuant to the Listing Rules. As at the date of this circular, our Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Issue Mandate.

General mandate to repurchase Shares

Ordinary resolution 8 will be proposed at the AGM for our Shareholders to grant another general mandate to our Directors to repurchase Shares (or cause the repurchase of our Shares) up to 10% of our Company's total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution. Assuming that the total number of Shares remain unchanged between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM date, the maximum number of Shares that can be repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate is 93,996,560 (assuming that the total number of Shares remain unchanged between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM date).

- 5 -

LETTER FROM OUR BOARD

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to all Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

As at the date of this circular, our Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate.

5. UPCOMING ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Notice of AGM

A notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 13 to 16 of this circular. The following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM for Shareholders' approval: (a) the re-election of the retiring Directors; (b) the re-appointment of our Company's external auditor; and (c) the granting of general mandates to our Directors to issue Shares and repurchase Shares.

Voting by poll at the AGM

All resolutions at the AGM will be taken by poll in accordance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and Article 66(1) of the Articles of Association, except where the chairman of the AGM may in good faith, allow a resolution that relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands.

Pursuant to Article 66(1) of the Articles of Association, subject to any special rights, privileges or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at any general meeting, every Shareholder present in person (or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy will have one vote for each Share registered in that Shareholder's name in our Company's register of members. Where one or more proxy is appointed by a recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)), each proxy is under no obligation to cast all the votes in the same way.

We will publish the poll vote results by way of announcement after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

Closure of our Company's register of members

In order to determine the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the AGM, our Company's register of members will be closed from Monday, 2 November 2020 to Thursday, 5 November 2020 (both dates inclusive), during which period, no transfer of Shares will be registered. Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members on Thursday, 5 November 2020 will be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM.

To be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM, all transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with our Company's share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 30 October 2020 (Hong Kong time).

for and on behalf of the Board of

Koolearn Technology Holding Limited

APPENDIX I  EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide information for you to make a reasonably informed decision on whether to vote for or against ordinary resolution 8 with respect to the approval of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Company's total issued share capital was 939,965,602 Shares, and outstanding options granted to subscribe for 100,557,485 Shares.

Subject to passing ordinary resolution 8 at the AGM on granting the Repurchase Mandate, and on the basis that our Company's total issued share capital remains unchanged from the Latest Practical Date to the AGM date, our Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to 93,996,560 Shares, representing 10% of our Company's total issued share capital (i.e., 939,965,602), during the Repurchase Mandate period.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASING SHARES

Our Directors believe that it is in the best interests of our Company and Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable our Company to purchase securities of our Company in the market. The 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 its earnings per Share and will be made only when our Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit our Company and Shareholders.

Our Directors have no present intention to cause our Company to repurchase any Shares and they would exercise the power to repurchase only in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of our Company and Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be funded from our Company's internal resources, which includes funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with our Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, and applicable laws and regulations in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and elsewhere (as the case may be).

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of our Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in our Company's annual report for FY 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, our Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on our Company's the working capital requirements or gearing levels that, in the opinion of our Directors, are from time to time appropriate for our Company.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I  EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in our Company's voting right increases, this increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of our Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, New Oriental, our Controlling Shareholder, is interested in 500,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 53.2% of our Company's total issued share capital. If our Directors were to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, New Oriental's shareholding percentage in our Company would be increased to approximately 59.1%. To the best knowledge and belief of our Directors, such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making any repurchase on the Stock Exchange it would result in less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of our Company's total issued share capital being publicly held.

6. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

APPENDIX I  EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. NO REPURCHASES OF SHARES

During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, we did not repurchase any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

8. GENERAL

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

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified our Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to our Company if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

Our 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 and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands (being the jurisdiction of our Company's incorporation).
