AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding (i) the ordinary resolutions granting the Directors general mandates to issue Shares and to buy back Shares to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting; and (ii) the details of Directors to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting.

- 3 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO BUY BACK SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 June 2020, ordinary resolutions were passed by the Shareholders granting general mandates to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules, to buy back its own Shares up to 10% of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company and to allot, issue and deal with Shares with an aggregate number of Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company at the date of passing of the resolutions. These mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

Separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to seek the approval of the Shareholders for the granting of general mandates to the Directors to:

  1. buy back Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution;
  2. allot, issue and deal with additional Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution; and
  3. extend the Share Issue Mandate by adding the aggregate number of Shares bought back under the Share Buy-back Mandate (subject to the passing of the aforesaid ordinary resolutions of the Share Issue Mandate and the Share Buy-back Mandate).

An explanatory statement containing the particulars required by the Listing Rules in relation to the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Share Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Share Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 214,554,025 Shares representing 20% of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

3. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 92 of the Articles of Association, any director so appointed by the Board shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company (in the case of filling a casual vacancy) or until the next following annual general meeting of the Company (in the case of addition to the existing Board) and shall then be eligible for re-election. Mr. Zhang Bingjun, being Director appointed by the Board since the last annual general meeting of the Company, will hold office until the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election.

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In accordance with Article 101 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Chen Yanhua, Mr. Cheung Wing Yui, Edward, Ms. Ng Yi Kum, Estella and Dr. Loke Yu will retire from office by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Ms. Ng Yi Kum, Estella has served as an independent non-executive Director for more than nine years. The Board is of the view that Ms. Ng continues to demonstrate the attributes of an independent non-executive director and her length of tenure does not affect her independence. The Board believes that her bountiful knowledge and experience will continue to be of significance to the Company.

The Nomination Committee had reviewed the annual confirmation of independence provided by each independent non-executive Director and was satisfied that each of them meets the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and that there were no relationships or circumstances which are likely to affect their independent judgement.

Particular attention was given to reviewing Dr. Loke Yu's capability to devote sufficient time to the Board. As at 31 December 2020, Dr. Loke Yu is an independent non-executive director of more than seven public companies (including the Company). The Nomination Committee focuses on the ability of a director to commit sufficient time to discharge his responsibilities as a board member rather than the number of directorships held, and is of the view that Dr. Loke Yu is able to give sufficient time and attention to the Company's affairs having regard to his full attendance at all Board and audit committee meetings held during the year.

Having reviewed the structure, size and composition (including but not limited to the skills, knowledge, experience and diversity) of the Board and taken into account the respective vast experience and contributions of each retiring Director to the Board, the Nomination Committee is of the view that the nomination of Mr. Zhang Bingjun, Mr. Chen Yanhua, Mr. Cheung Wing Yui, Edward, Ms. Ng Yi Kum, Estella, and Dr. Loke Yu will continue to bring valuable perspectives, skills and experiences to the Board.

Accordingly, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed all the above retiring Directors to stand for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the retiring Directors abstained from deliberations and decisions on their own eligibility to stand for re-election at the relevant Nomination Committee and Board meetings.

Details of the above retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice of Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 16 to 19 of this circular, which contains ordinary resolutions to approve, inter alia, the general mandates to issue Shares and to buy back Shares and the re-election of Directors. A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed herewith.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The register of members of the Company will be closed from 21 June 2021 (Monday) to 24 June 2021 (Thursday), both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares will be registered. In order to determine the entitlement to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, all completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company's share registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4 : 30 p.m. on 18 June 2021 (Friday).

Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual General Meeting, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's share registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event no later than 4 : 00 p.m. on 22 June 2021 (Tuesday), or in case of any adjournment thereof, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of any adjourned meeting. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) should you so wish.

  1. VOTING BY POLL
    Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, all resolutions set out in the notice of Annual General Meeting will be taken by way of poll.
    An announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the Annual General Meeting in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
  2. RECOMMENDATION
    The Directors consider that the general mandates to issue Shares and to buy back Shares and the re-election of Directors are all in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend you to vote in favour of all the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

Yours faithfully,

By Order of the Board

Tianjin Development Holdings Limited

Chen Yanhua

Executive Director and General Manager

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

This explanatory statement also constitutes the memorandum required under section 239 of the Companies Ordinance.

  1. SHARES IN ISSUE
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,072,770,125 Shares.
    Subject to the passing of the resolution in relation to the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 107,277,012 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution.
  2. REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS
    The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have the power to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
  3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS
    In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of Hong Kong, including but not limited to the Companies Ordinance. The Companies Ordinance provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a buy-back of its own shares may only be paid from the distributable profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buy-back to such extent allowable under the Companies Ordinance.
    In the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period, the working capital or gearing position of the Company might be materially different as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020 contained in the annual report of the Company. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make buy-back pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Hong Kong.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Share Buy-back Mandate if such Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. TAKEOVERS CODE
    If as a result of a buy-back of Shares, 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.
    As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders' 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.
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, Tsinlien is deemed to have an interest in 673,759,143 Shares, representing approximately 62.81% of the total number of Shares in issue. The interest include: (i) 22,960,000 Shares directly held by Tsinlien; and (ii) 568,017,143 Shares held by Tianjin Investment Holdings Limited, 2,022,000 Shares held by Tsinlien Venture Capital Company Limited and 80,760,000 Shares held by Tsinlien Investment Limited, all being wholly-owned subsidiaries of Tsinlien. By virtue of the SFO, Tsinlien is therefore deemed to have an interest in the Shares in which Tianjin Investment Holdings Limited, Tsinlien Venture Capital Company Limited and Tsinlien Investment Limited are interested.
    In the event that the Directors shall exercise in full the power to buy back Shares under the Share Buy-back Mandate, the interest of Tsinlien would be increased to approximately 69.78% of the total number of Shares in issue and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Buy- back Mandate to such an extent as would result in takeover obligations. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate.
  2. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY
    The Company has not bought back any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the date of this circular.
