LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant the Issue Mandate. The Shares which may be allotted and issued pursuant to the Issue Mandate are up to 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution approving the Issue Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 6,093,451,026 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further new Shares will be issued or repurchased up to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 1,218,690,205 new Shares. In addition, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the extension of the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate. Details of the Issue Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate are respectively set out in resolutions 4 and 6 of the AGM Notice.

The Issue Mandate, if approved at the AGM, will continue in force until (a) the conclusion of next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) 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 laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking, varying or renewing the authority given to the Directors by this resolution, whichever occurs first.

4. PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

In order to ensure flexibility for the Directors to repurchase Shares, it is necessary to grant the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM, and the ordinary resolution set out in resolution 5 of the AGM Notice will be proposed to seek the Shareholders' approval for granting of the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM. The Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate are up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate, if approved at the AGM, will continue in force until (a) the conclusion of next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) 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 laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking, varying or renewing the authority given to the Directors by this resolution, whichever occurs first.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, an explanatory statement to provide Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on the proposed resolution for the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The AGM Notice is set out on pages 13 to 17 of this circular. At the AGM, relevant resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the re-election of the retiring Directors and the granting of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate.

A proxy form for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular and such proxy form is also published on the designated website of the Stock Exchange (http://www.hkexnews.hk) and the website of the Company (http://www.ming-fa.com). Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM or any adjournment thereof, you are requested to complete the proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish. In the event that a Shareholder attends the AGM after having lodged a proxy form, his or her proxy form will be deemed to have been revoked.

6. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39 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. The chairman of the AGM will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM pursuant to the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association.

The poll results will be published on the website of the Company (http://www.ming-fa.com) and the website of the Stock Exchange (http://www.hkexnews.hk) after the conclusion of the AGM.

7. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed resolutions regarding the re-election of the retiring Directors and auditors and the proposed granting of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate as set out in the AGM Notice, are all in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide relevant information to you in connection with the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:

  1. the shares proposed to be purchased by the company are fully-paid up;
  2. the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the provisions of Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules; and
  3. the shareholders of the company have given a specific approval or a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such purchase, by way of an ordinary resolution which complies with the provisions of Rule 10.06(1)(c) of the Listing Rules and which has been passed at a general meeting of the company duly convened and held.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued and fully-paid up share capital of the Company comprised 6,093,451,026 Shares. It is proposed that up to a maximum of 10% of the fully paid-up Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate may be repurchased by the Directors. Subject to the passing of the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 609,345,102 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 enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 10 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing its own Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company Law provides that repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection, including profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Company Law, out of capital of the Company and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company. The Company may not repurchase securities 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 from time to time.

5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

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 consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

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 and the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries. No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

- 11 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares had been made by the Company in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.

9. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interest of the Shareholder(s), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Galaxy Earnest Limited had interest in 5,086,500,000 Shares, representing approximately 83.47% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In light of this, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase that may be made under the Repurchase Mandate.

Any repurchase of Shares which will result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than the prescribed percentage (i.e. 15% as previously agreed and accepted by the Stock Exchange) of the Shares then in issue may only be implemented with the approval of the Stock Exchange waiving the Listing Rules requirements regarding the public shareholding. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that, in the circumstances, there is insufficient public float as prescribed.

10. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
