In accordance with Article 108 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Fan Yajun and Mr. Leung Shu Sun, Sunny shall retire from the office as Non-executive Director and Independent Non-executive Director respectively at the Annual General Meeting. In accordance with Article 112 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Hu Jianjun, who was appointed as an Independent Non-executive Director on 1 April 2021 shall hold office until the Annual General Meeting. All of the above retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Mr. Leung Shu Sun, Sunny, who has been serving as 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. Leung Shu Sun, Sunny attended all of the meetings of the Board and the Board committees held in the past years and the current financial year. Details of the attendance records are set out in the Corporate Governance Report. The relevant Board papers and materials were provided to the Directors for review and consider prior to the meetings. Mr. Leung has remained responsible for his performance functions and discharged his duties to the Company through active participation on the Board and by bringing balance of views as well as knowledge, experience and expertise.

Mr. Leung has confirmed that he will continue to devote sufficient time for the discharge of his functions and responsibilities as an Independent Non-executive Director. With his background and experience as set out in the biographical information, Mr. Leung is fully aware of the responsibilities and expected time involvements in the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Board believes that Mr. Leung's position outside the Company will not affect him in maintaining his current role in, and his functions and responsibilities for, the Company.

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, the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of all Independent Non-executive Directors.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE

SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for 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 Share Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 840,000,000 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 Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 840,000,000 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, a total of 84,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Shares repurchases may, depending on the 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 when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE

The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE

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 Share Repurchase 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 Share Repurchase 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 appropriate for the Company.

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor 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 Share Repurchase 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 Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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

- 11 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE

SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares 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 purposes 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 Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Jiang Xin, executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Ms. Qian Yuanying, both being controlling Shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules), together were interested in 358,568,000 Shares representing approximately 42.69% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In addition, Caitong International Asset Management Co., Limited, being substantial Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules, was interested in 250,000,000 Shares representing approximately 29.76% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, the interests of Mr. Jiang Xin and Ms. Qian Yuanying together in the Company would be increased to approximately 47.43% while the interest of Caitong International Asset Management Co., Limited in the Company would be increased to approximately 33.07% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors consider that such increase in shareholding would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and would reduce the issued share capital in the public to less than 25% (or the relevant prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange). The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or would result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
