The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Buy-back Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 1,147,294,200 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought-back after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to buy-back a maximum of 114,729,420 Shares with a total number of which represent 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless renewed by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands or the Articles of Association; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked, or varied, or renewed by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

REASONS AND FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy-back its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such buy-back 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 only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Buy-back of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Cayman Companies Law, the Listing Rules and any applicable laws. The Cayman Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a buy-back of Shares may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the buy-back of Shares or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Law. The amount of premium payable on buy-back may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Company's Shares are bought-back in the manner provided for in the Cayman Companies Law.

The Directors would only exercise the power to buy-back in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the Buy-back Mandate was to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. TheDirectors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back 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.

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates, as defined in the Listing Rules, currently intend to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.

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, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Buy-back Mandate is exercised.

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares by the Company pursuant to the Buy-back 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Glorious Peace Limited ("Glorious Peace") holds a total of 441,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 38.43% of the issued Shares. Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. and An Ke Technology Company Limited are deemed to be interested in to have an interest in all of the Shares held by Glorious Peace under Part XV of the SFO, representing approximately 38.43% of the issued Shares.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Buy-back Mandate, the shareholding of Glorious Peace in the Company will be increased to approximately 42.71% of the issued Shares. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

However, the Directors have no present intention to buy-back the Shares to such an extent as will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit the Company from making buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the result of the buy-back would be that less than 21.3% (the lower percentage according to the waiver in respect of public float requirement the Company has been granted by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital of the Company would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to buy-back Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY

No buy-back of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) have been made by the Company in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
