LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE BUYBACK AND ISSUANCE MANDATES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 May 2020, general mandates were granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares and to issue new Shares respectively. Such mandates, to the extent not used by the date of the Annual General Meeting, will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

1. to repurchase Shares, on the Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange, of not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. a total of 113,405,566 Shares on the basis that the existing issued share capital of the Company of 1,134,055,667 Shares remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the ''Buyback Mandate'');
2. to allot, issue or deal with new Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. a total number of 226,811,133 Shares on the basis that the existing issued share capital of the Company of 1,134,055,667 Shares remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the ''Issuance Mandate''); and
3. to extend the Issuance Mandate by adding the total number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Buyback Mandate.

The Buyback Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the Annual General Meeting or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in items 7 and 8 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Buyback Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Buyback Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

According to Article 87 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Ho Kam Wah and Mr. Tsui Yiu Wa, Alec shall retire from office by rotation and are eligible to offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's Board Diversity Policy and Director Nomination Policy and the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of all independent non-executive Directors.

Mr. Tsui Yiu Wa, Alec, who has been serving as an independent non-executive Director for more than 9 years, has confirmed his independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Mr. Tsui Yiu Wa, Alec also demonstrates the ability to provide an independent, balanced and objective view to the Company's matters. The Nomination Committee and the Board thus considered that the retiring independent non-executive Director is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules.

Besides, the Nomination Committee and the Board believed that the extensive business experience of Mr. Ho Kam Wah and Mr. Tsui Yiu Wa, Alec will continue to make contribution to the Board and are satisfied with all the retiring Directors' contribution to the Company, which will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. The Nomination Committee and the Board therefore recommended the re-election of all the retiring Directors, including the aforesaid independent non-executive Director, who are due to retire at the Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to Shareholders' approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of the above retiring Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular. At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the granting of the Buyback Mandate and the Issuance Mandate, the extension of the Issuance Mandate by adding the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Buyback Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, all the proposed resolutions will be put to vote by way of poll at the Annual General Meeting. An announcement on the poll vote results will be made by the Company after the Annual General Meeting in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed with this circular and published on the websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (http://corp.pconline.com.cn). Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual General Meeting, please complete and sign the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a certified copy of that power of attorney or authority, to the Company's Branch Share Registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Annual General Meeting (i.e. no later than 11 : 00 a.m. on Saturday, 15 May 2021) or any adjournment thereof. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof if you so wish and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

5. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the granting of the Buyback Mandate, the granting/extension of the Issuance Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors are in the interests of the Company, the Group and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

6. GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Buyback Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR BUYBACK OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Buyback Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,134,055,667 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 7 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. 1,134,055,667 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force, a total of 113,405,566 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be funded from the Company's internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the laws of Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. 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 accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Buyback Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time befitting the Company.

- 7 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate, 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or a group of Shareholders.

To the best knowledge of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Dr. Lam Wai Yan, personally held 320,810,561 Shares (representing approximately 28.29% of the total issued share capital of the Company) and Gallop Assets Management Limited, the entire issued share capital of which was owned by J.P. Morgan Trust Company (Bahamas) Limited as trustee of The Gallop Trust, held 296,172,030 Shares (representing approximately 26.12% of the total issued share capital of the Company). On presumption that both the issued share capital of the Company and the shareholdings of Dr. Lam Wai Yan and Gallop Assets Management Limited remained unchanged immediately before the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding interest of Dr. Lam Wai Yan would be increased to approximately 31.43% of the total issued share capital of the Company whereas the shareholding interest of Gallop Assets Management Limited would be increased to approximately 29.02% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

In the opinion of the Directors, such an increase of shareholding may give rise to an obligation for Dr. Lam Wai Yan to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not have any present intention to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to such an obligation.

In addition, the Directors do not have any intention to exercise the proposed Buyback Mandate to the effect that it will result in the public float to fall below 25% or such other minimum percentage prescribed by the Listing Rules from time to time.

6. GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the following months were as follows:

Month	Highest	Lowest
	HK$	HK$
2020
April	1.40	1.23
May	1.40	1.14
June	1.30	1.15
July	1.37	1.16
August	1.14	1.02
September	1.10	1.01

January	1.29	1.19
February	1.54	1.25
March	1.55	1.34

8. REPURCHASES OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY
