2. DISTRIBUTION OF FINAL DIVIDEND

The resolution in relation to the distribution of a final dividend of RMB0.05 per share (tax inclusive) for the year ended 31 December 2020, totaling approximately RMB52,150,000, has been considered and approved at the meeting of the Board held on 25 March 2021.

To determine the identity of the holders of H Shares entitled to receive the final dividend, the register of holders of H Shares of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 3 June 2021 to Tuesday, 8 June 2021 (both days inclusive) during which no transfer of H Shares will be registered. In order to qualify for entitlement to the proposed final dividend, all transfers of H Shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates and transfer forms must be lodged with the Company's Hong Kong Share Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 2 June 2021.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People's Republic of China (effective since 1 January 2008) and its implementation regulations, and the Notice on the Issues Concerning Withholding and Payment of the Enterprise Income Tax on the Dividends Paid by Chinese Resident Enterprises to H Share Holders Who Are Overseas Non-resident Enterprises (Guo Shui Han [2008] No. 897) issued by the State Administration of Taxation on 6 November 2008, when the Company distributes dividends to non-resident enterprise holders of H Shares whose names appear on the register of the Company, it is obliged to withhold and pay enterprise income tax on their behalf at a tax rate of 10%. Any H Shares registered in the name of non-individual shareholders, including HKSCC Nominees Limited, other nominees or trustees, and other organizations and groups, are deemed to be held by non-resident enterprise shareholders. Therefore, the Company will withhold and pay 10% corporate income tax on their behalf before distributing the final dividend to such non-resident enterprise shareholders.

Pursuant to the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Concerning the Administration of Individual Income Tax Collection after the Annulment of Document Guo Shui Fa [1993] No. 045 (Guo Shui Han [2011] No. 348)) issued by the State Administration of Tax on 28 June 2011, the dividend to be distributed by the PRC non-foreign invested enterprises which have issued shares in Hong Kong to the overseas resident individual shareholders, is subject to 10% individual income tax. Thus, a 10% individual income tax will be withheld from the final dividend payable to any individual shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of H Shares of the Company on 8 June 2021, unless otherwise stated in the relevant taxation regulations, taxation agreements or notices.

The Company will have no liability in respect of any claims arising from any delay in, or inaccurate determination of the status of the shareholders or any disputes over the mechanism of withholding.

3. RENEWAL OF LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR DIRECTORS, SUPERVISORS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to consider and approve renewal of liability insurance for Directors, Supervisors and senior management of the Company.

Pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules and Governance Standards of Listed Companies issued by the China Securities Regulation Commission, listed companies should/ may arrange appropriate insurance coverage for potential legal action against its directors. In order to effectively manage the legal and regulatory risks arising from the performance of the duties by the Directors, Supervisors and senior management of the Company, the Company intends to renew liability insurance for all Directors, Supervisors and senior management for a period of one year and with an insurance premium of not more than RMB150,000. It is also proposed that the AGM grant authorization to the Board to determine issues including but not limited to engagement of insurance companies and intermediaries, determination of the terms of the insurance and further renewal of liability insurance within the aforesaid insurance premium limit and the core insurance coverage.

Note: The letter "L" stands for long position.

If as a result of share repurchase by the Company, a substantial Shareholder 's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company or become obligated to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As illustrated in the table above, exercise of the Repurchase Mandate will not have any impact on the substantial Shareholders under the Takeovers Code.

Assuming that no Shares are issued between the Last Practicable Date and the repurchase date, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in whole or in part will not result in the public float being less than 25% of the Company's shares or other minimum shareholding percentage as required by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Directors do not intend to make share repurchase on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange if such repurchase would result in failure to comply with the requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Except as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences of any repurchase of shares in accordance with the Takeovers Code and / or any relevant regulations known to them.
