In order to ensure greater flexibility and give discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to issue new Shares, approval is to be sought for the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for the General Mandate to issue Shares. An ordinary resolution no. 5(A) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant the General Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20 per cent of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the General Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was 1,683,431,417 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the above resolution 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 issue a maximum of 336,686,283 Shares.

In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution no. 5(C), the number of Shares bought-back by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 5(B), if approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, will also be added to extend the 20 per cent limit of the General Mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution no. 5(A) provided that such additional number shall not exceed 10 per cent of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the General Mandate and the Buy-back Mandate.

BUY-BACK MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES

In addition, an ordinary resolution no. 5(B) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant the Buy-back Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy-back Shares representing up to 10 per cent of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Buy-back Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,683,431,417 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the above resolution 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 168,343,141 Shares.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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 1,683,431,417 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 168,343,141 Shares which represent 10 per cent of the total number of issued Shares during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; 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 or the Articles of Association; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied 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 will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Buy-backs of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Cayman Company Law and the Listing Rules. The Cayman Company Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share buy-back 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 or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Cayman Company 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 Shares are bought-back in the manner provided for in the Cayman Company 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/or 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. The Directors 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.

- 11 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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 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 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, 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, Dingxin Company Limited ("Dingxin") was interested in 1,123,974,411 Shares, approximately 66.77 per cent of the issued Shares.

Dingxin was wholly owned by Honesty Global Holdings Limited ("Honesty Global"), the holding vehicle incorporated in the British Virgin Islands used by TMF (Cayman) Ltd., the trustee of the Ou Family Trust which is a discretionary trust established by Mr. Ou Guofei (as the settlor) with Mr. Ou Zonghong (the chairman, executive director and chief executive officer of the Company) being the protector. Accordingly, each of Honesty Global, Mr. Ou Guofei and Mr. Ou Zonghong was deemed to be interested in the Shares held by Dingxin.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Buy-back Mandate, the shareholding of Dingxin in the Company will be increased to approximately 74.19 per cent of the issued Shares. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeover Codes as a result of any buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the result of the buy-back would be that less than 25 per cent (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital 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.
