1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in relation to the resolutions to be

proposed at the AGM for the grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, declaration of a Final Dividend for the year ended 31 December 2020 and the re-election of retiring Directors, and to give you Notice of AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors new general mandates:

1. to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the proposed resolution at the AGM or any adjournment thereof; and
2. to repurchase Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the proposed resolution at the AGM or any adjournment thereof,

The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate shall be effective until whichever is the earliest of:

1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or
2. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable law to be held; or
3. the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying the authority given to the Directors.

Issue Mandate

To provide flexibility to the Company to effectively raise funds by issuing of Shares, at the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be granted the Issue Mandate to issue, allot and deal with unissued Shares. The Board believed that the grant of the proposed Issue Mandate will give the Company the financial flexibility which it needs to grow its business and maximize shareholder value.

The Company had 2,491,585,028 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolutions approving the Issue Mandate and in accordance with the terms therein, on the basis of 2,491,585,028 existing Shares in issue and assuming that such number of issued Shares remains the same at the date of passing the proposed resolutions, the Company could under the Issue Mandate allot, issue and deal with up to 249,158,502 new Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the total issued Shares of the Company at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Issue Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Shares to be issued and allotted by the Company upon the exercise of (i) the share options granted under the 2014 Share Option Scheme and (ii) the conversion rights attaching to the CS issued by the Company, the Directors have no immediate plans to issue any Shares under the Issue Mandate.

Any Shares to be allotted and issued (whether for cash or otherwise) under the authority granted by the proposed Issue Mandate shall not be at a discount of more than 10% to the "benchmarked price" (as described in Rule 13.36(5) of the Listing Rules).

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Details of the Issue Mandate are set out in Resolution No. 5 in the Notice of AGM.

Repurchase Mandate

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the terms therein, on the basis of 2,491,585,028 existing Shares in issue and assuming that such number of issued Shares remains the same at the date of passing the proposed resolution, the Company could under the Repurchase Mandate repurchase up to 249,158,502 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares at the time of the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

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

Details of the Repurchase Mandate are set out in Resolution No. 6 in the Notice of AGM.

3. PROPOSED FINAL DIVIDEND

As stated in the announcement issued by the Company dated 18 March 2021 relating to the annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Board recommended the payment of a Final Dividend of RMB20.46 cents per Share issued or to be issued upon conversion of CS in cash in respect of the year ended 31 December 2020 to (i) the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Final Dividend Record Date; and (ii) the CS Holder(s) whose CS remain outstanding on the Final Dividend Record Date. Such Final Dividend will not be subject to any withholding tax.

The proposed Final Dividend shall be declared in RMB and paid in Hong Kong Dollars based on the official exchange rate of Renminbi against Hong Kong Dollars as quoted by the People's Bank of China on 11 June 2021, being the date of the AGM on which the Final Dividend is proposed to the Shareholders for approval.

The proposed Final Dividend is subject to approval by the Shareholders at the AGM and a resolution in respect of the proposed Final Dividend will be proposed to the Shareholders for voting at the AGM. If the resolution for the proposed Final Dividend is passed at the AGM, the proposed Final Dividend is expected to be paid:

1. on 29 June 2021 to ordinary Shareholders whose names shall appear on the register of members of the Company on 21 June 2021;
2. on 29 June 2021 to holders of CS issued under the 2015 Open Offer which will remain outstanding on 21 June 2021; and
3. on 5 July 2021 (i.e. the third business day after 29 June 2021) to holders of CS issued under the 2013 Open Offer which will remain outstanding on 21 June 2021.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the avoidance of doubt, any CS subject to a conversion notice completed, executed and deposited on or before Final Dividend Record Date (being 21 June 2021) shall be entitled to the distribution of Final Dividend. For details of calculation of distribution of the Final Dividend entitled under the CS, please refer to the listing documents of the Company dated 27 March 2013 and 9 January 2015 respectively.

For ascertaining entitlement to the proposed Final Dividend to be approved at the AGM, the register of members and register of CS Holders of the Company will be closed as set out below:

Latest time to lodge transfer documents	4:30 p.m. on 17 June 2021 (Thursday)
Period of closure of register of members and	18	June	2021	(Friday) to 21 June 2021
register of CS Holders	(Monday) (both days inclusive)
Final Dividend Record Date	21	June	2021	(Monday)

In order to qualify for the proposed Final Dividend, all transfer documents must be lodged with the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, 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 Thursday, 17 June 2021. During the above closure period, no transfer of Shares or CS will be registered.

4. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 87 of the Articles of Association and the Corporate Governance Code set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, Mr. Li Ning, Mr. Li Qilin and Mr. Su Jing Shyh, Samuel ("Mr. Su") shall retire from the office by rotation and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the AGM.

Mr. Su was appointed as an independent non-executive Director on 5 July 2012 and has served on the Board for almost nine years. The Board considers that Mr. Su to be independent of management and free of any relationship which could materially affect the exercise of his independent judgment. The Board has assessed and reviewed the annual confirmation of independence based on the criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, and affirmed that Mr. Su remains independent. The Board considers that in a complex and competitive business environment with international and local sports brand companies in the PRC, it is essential that independent non-executive Directors have the opportunity to acquire, over a number of years, the experience and knowledge of the business and the sectors within which the Company operates. Hence, the Board considers that the long service provided by Mr. Su would not affect his exercise of independent judgment when serving the Company, and recommends Mr. Su for re-election as an independent non- executive Director at the AGM.

The biographical details, interests in the Shares and other information required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of the Directors proposed for re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to Shareholders for their consideration of the proposed resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PERSONS

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 nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,491,585,028 Shares. On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the AGM and subject to the passing of Resolution No. 6 approving the Repurchase Mandate as set out in the Notice of AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 249,158,502 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the total issued Shares.

3. REASON FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole 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 increase of the net asset value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made as and when the Directors believe such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with its financial position as disclosed in the Annual Report 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors, however, do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital position of the Company or the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during each of the 12 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM and exercised.

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

If as a result of a repurchase of 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 the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Repurchase Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the substantial Shareholders of the Company having interests in 10% or more of the issued share capital of the Company under the register of substantial shareholders maintained by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO were:

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Subject to passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the voting rights of Messrs. Li Ning, Li Chun and Li Qilin and any parties acting in concert (collectively, the "Interested Shareholders") under different shareholding position will be as follows:

		Approximate	Approximate
		percentage of	percentage of
		shareholding before	shareholding if the

2. Assuming that the underlying interests as disclosed in Note 1(b) above are vested in full before the AGM, and except as aforesaid, no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM.

The increase in voting rights of the Interested Shareholders under different shareholding position is not expected to give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer pursuant to Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are also not aware of any consequence of repurchases which would result in the amount of Shares held by public being reduced to less than 25%.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent as may result in a public shareholding of less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

7. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company did not purchase any Share (whether on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
