LETTER FROM THE BOARD

1. INTRODUCTION

References are made to (i) the 2019 Announcement, and (ii) the Original Circular and the Original Notice of EGM, which sets out the time and venue of the EGM and contain the resolutions to be submitted at the EGM for Shareholders' approval. This supplemental circular of the EGM (the "Supplemental Circular") should be read together with the Original Circular.

The purposes of this Supplemental Circular are to set out the Supplemental Notice of EGM, and provide you with:

  1. further information in respect of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap;
  2. further details of the transactions contemplated under the New CCT Agreements (including the Ant Financial Annual Caps);
  3. the letter from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap and the New CCT Agreements (including the Ping An Annual Caps);
  4. the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap and the New CCT Agreements; and
  5. the Supplemental Notice of EGM at which relevant resolutions will be proposed to consider and approve the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap and the New CCT Agreements.

2. REVISION OF THE REVISED ANT FINANCIAL ONLINE PLATFORM ANNUAL CAP

Reference is made to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement, which is an online

platform cooperation framework agreement for the provision of insurance products to various parties, pursuant to which the relevant subsidiaries of Ant Financial Group will enter into separate agreements with the Company which will set out the specific terms and conditions (including pricing) according to normal commercial terms provided therein, with a term of three years commencing on the Listing Date, which will be terminated with effect from January 1, 2020 upon the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement becoming effective.

On May 24, 2019, the original annual cap for the continuing connected transactions under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2019 was revised (i.e., the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap), and the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap was approved by the then independent Shareholders.

− 9 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In light of (i) a rapid surge in demand for the Group's insurance products made available through the online platforms of Ant Financial Group pursuant to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement during the second half of 2019 resulting from (a) the increase in risk protection awareness among the public in the PRC which has led to an increase in demand for protection related insurance products, in particular, health insurance, and (b) the cooperation between the Group and Ant Financial Group on promoting product innovation and strengthening the education of risk protection awareness of the target group of the Group's insurance products, and (ii) the increase in sales of the Group's insurance products in connection with customer protection in e-commerce transactions resulting from

  1. the strong growth in e-commerce business which is facilitated by the development in mobile internet, and (b) the various promotion activities conducted by Ant Financial Group on its online platforms which have facilitated the development of its own business, and in turn, benefited the Company's sales of insurance products relating to customer protection on such online platforms, the Board expects that the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap will not be sufficient to meet the Company's requirements. Accordingly, the Board proposes to increase the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap from RMB1,140,670,000 to RMB1,176,770,000 (i.e. the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap).

Basis of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap

The Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap has been determined by the Board based on (i) the total Platform Service Fees of RMB719,551,180 that have been paid to Ant Financial and/or its associates as of September 30, 2019, which represents approximately 61.2% of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap, (ii) the Platform Service Fees expected to be payable to Ant Financial and/or its associates for the year ending December 31, 2019, which represents approximately 38.8% of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap, taking into account the total Platform Service Fees that have been paid to Ant Financial and/or its associates for the three months ended December 31, 2018 represented approximately 39.2% of the Platform Service Fees for the year ended December 31, 2018, and (iii) the Company's estimated market demand from the date of this announcement until December 31, 2019, taking into account the increase in sales volume with the five existing online platforms operated by Ant Financial Group and/or its business partners through which the Company can sell its insurance products to end users in 2019, and the increase in demand for protection related insurance products, in particular, health insurance, resulting from the increase in risk protection awareness among the public in the PRC.

Duration:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject matter:

Relevant subsidiaries of Ant Financial Group will enter into separate

agreements with the Company which will set out the specific terms and

conditions (including pricing) according to normal commercial terms

provided in the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement.

  1. Historical transaction amounts

The Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement is an existing agreement as at the date of this announcement concerning the same subject matter as that of the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement, which will be terminated with effect from January 1, 2020 upon the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement becoming effective.

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the total platform fees paid by the Company under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement were RMB437,700,000, RMB426,957,000, RMB487,624,000 and RMB719,551,180, respectively.

  1. Annual caps

The annual cap for the year ending December 31, 2020 for the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement is RMB2,010,670,000, which is determined principally with reference to:

  1. the total Platform Service Fees that have been paid to Ant Financial and/or its associates as of the Latest Practicable Date;
  2. the platform service fees expected to be payable to Ant Financial and/or its associates for the year ending December 31, 2020, taking into account (i) the tremendous development of online platforms in the PRC in recent years, in particular, the rapid growth of the Internet property and casualty insurance business, which has given rise to the increase in the gross written premiums received from the Company from its provision of insurance products through the online platforms of Ant Financial Group pursuant to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement from approximately RMB2,789,569,600 in 2018 to approximately RMB7,072,331,700 in 2019, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 153.57%, and the Directors' expectation that this growth trend will continue into 2020, (ii) the increase in sales volume with the five existing online platforms operated by Ant Financial Group and/or its business partners through which the Company can sell its insurance products to end users in 2019, and (iii) the remarkable increase in gross written premium of the Group's lifestyle consumption ecosystem business in the first half of 2019 as a result of the Company's enhanced cooperation with Ant Financial Group to actively explore product innovation and updates; and
  3. the Company's estimated market demand for the year ending December 31, 2020, taking into account (i) the rapid growth rate the Company has recorded in the sales of the Internet insurance products through Ant Financial and its partners in 2019, and (ii) the rise of awareness of insurance amongst the general public in the PRC resulting from the increase of their disposal income level and the upgrade of their consumption level.

− 11 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iii) Pricing policies

The Platform Service Fees payable to Ant Financial and/or its associates by the Company will be determined based on arm's length negotiations between the Company and Ant Financial and/or its associates and according to the following principles:

  1. if there exists comparable market rates paid by independent third parties, the platform service fees shall be based on such prevailing market rates;
  2. if there exists no comparable rates, the platform service fees shall be based on arm's length negotiations; and
  3. if there exists no comparable rates and there are difficulties with regards to arm's length negotiations, the platform service fees can be based on similar transactions' market rates.

The Platform Service Fees will be calculated with reference to the total premium the Company received from the insurance products sold through such platforms, and based on either:

    1. a fixed rate of the total premium, which is determined based on a number of factors specific to each insurance product, including the product's risk management level, the promotion offered by the online platform, prevailing market prices for similar insurance products and the scale of the product business; or
    2. a formula based on the actual settlement claim in relation to the insurance products.
  1. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement

The Company is one of only four companies with an online insurance licence in China. It is necessary as part of the Company's online business expansion to utilize various online platforms to reach a wider customer base. The cooperation with Ant Financial Group will be beneficial to the Company in light of Ant Financial Group's dominant market position in online platforms in the PRC market as well as its close cooperation with Alibaba and other well-known online platforms.

The Company considers Ant Financial an important ecosystem partner and the customer reach offered by Ant Financial is incomparable to other online platform service providers. Nevertheless, before entering into any agreement under the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement, the Company will assess its needs and will only enter into these transactions when the agreement is in the best interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

Date:

November 8, 2019

Parties:

(1)

the Company; and

(2)

Ping An P&C.

Duration:

Three years from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022

Subject matter:

The

Company will enter into agreements for the provision of auto

insurance services and Ping An P&C will be responsible for operating the

duties (including insuring and making payments pursuant to claims) under

such

auto insurance agreements. Payments under such auto insurance

agreements will be made to the Company which will then be settled with Ping An P&C.

  1. Historical transaction amounts

The Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Agreement is an existing agreement as at the date of this announcement between the Company and Ping An P&C for the provision of auto co-insurance to the public, which will be terminated with effect from January 1, 2020 upon the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements becoming effective.

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the total premiums the Company received under the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreement were RMB3,480,000, RMB77,901,000, RMB1,146,030,000 and RMB964,029,000, respectively.

  1. Annual caps
    The annual caps for the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements are as follows:

RMB2,779,205,000 (Note)

Note: The annual caps for the Auto Co-insurance Agreement for the years ending December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 have been determined principally with reference to:

  1. the premiums received under the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreement;
  2. the historical growth of actual insured premium of approximately 13.7 times from the year ended December 31, 2017 to the year ended December 31, 2018 and the approximate 13.3% growth in actual auto insurance premiums received for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to that for the nine months ended September 30, 2018;

− 13 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

    1. the potential growth of the scale of auto insurance premium which is associated with the expectation that the CBIRC will promulgate changes on how auto insurance premium should be calculated which will be implemented in 2020; and
    2. the Company's anticipation of a year-on-year growth rate that does not exceed 30% for the premiums it will receive for its auto insurance business under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements for each of the three years ending December 31, 2022, after taking into account:
      1. an approximate 10% year-over-year growth rate for the year ending December 31, 2019 being expected for the premiums received by the Company under the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Agreement will continue, and the Company's expectation that this growth rate will continue for each of the three years ending December 31, 2022; and
      2. the relatively conservative approach the Company has decided to adopt in projecting the premiums it will receive under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements for the three years ending December 31, 2022, given:
        1. there has been no unanimous growth rate in the Company's auto insurance business across the regions of China, although the Directors are of the view that there is still potential for growth in such business in most regions in China; and
        2. the uncertainty in the growth of the scale of auto insurance premium which is associated with the expectation that the CBIRC will promulgate changes on how auto insurance premium should be calculated that will be implemented in 2020, after taking into account such changes that have occurred in the Shaanxi, Guangxi and Qinghai regions of China.
  1. Pricing policies

The auto insurance premiums are heavily regulated in the PRC and the premium charged under the Auto Co-insurance Agreement is determined at a market rate and approved by the CBIRC. They are determined after careful examination and verification by the business management committee of the department. Members of the committee conduct market analysis and various other procedures to determine all aspects of the product including the pricing. These prices must conform with the terms and regulations set by the Company and be approved by other relevant departments such as the actuary department and the operations management centre. The premium and claim payment sharing ratio between the Company and Ping An Group is agreed by both parties after arm's length negotiations having regard to the fact that Ping An Group will be responsible for the daily operations of the agreement including receiving reports of claims, investigating the claims and maintaining customer records.

Pursuant to the Auto Co-insurance Agreement, the premiums, claims and all fees and expenses incurred in the provision of auto co-insurance pursuant to the Auto Co-insurance Agreement are to be shared by the Company and Ping An P&C in 50% and 50% proportions, respectively.

(iv) Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements

Ping An Group is one of the largest insurance providers in the PRC. Property and casualty insurance has been the foundation of its business with steady growth since its inception. The entering into of the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements, which is a continuation of the existing cooperation between Ping An P&C and the Company in the provision of auto co-insurance to the

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee, the Ant Financial Independent Shareholders in relation to the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap as well as the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the annual cap for transactions to be contemplated thereunder for the year ending December 31, 2020 (the "2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap")), and the Auto Co-insurance Independent Shareholders in relation to the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the annual caps of the transactions to be contemplated thereunder for the three years ending December 31, 2022 (the "Auto Annual Caps")), details of which are set out in the "Letter from the Board" (the

"Letter") contained in the supplemental circular dated November 22, 2019 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the "Supplemental Circular"), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Supplemental Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

On May 24, 2019, the original annual cap for the continuing connected transactions under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2019 was revised and was approved by the then independent Shareholders. The Board expects that the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap will not be sufficient to meet the Company's need for the transactions contemplated. Accordingly, the Board proposes to increase the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap from approximately RMB1,140.7 million to the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap of approximately RMB1,176.8 million.

On November 8, 2019, the Group entered into the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement to sell various insurance products to end users of Ant Financial Group's online platforms in the ordinary course of business of the Group. Pursuant to the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement, the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap will be amounted to approximately RMB2,010.7 million.

Furthermore, on November 8, 2019, the Group entered into the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements with Ping An P&C, a subsidiary of Ping An Insurance, to provide auto co-insurance to the public. Pursuant to the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements, the Company will enter into agreements for the provision of auto insurance services and Ping An P&C will be responsible for operating the duties (including insuring and making payments pursuant to claims) under such auto insurance agreements. Payments under such auto insurance agreements will be made to the Company which will then be settled with Ping An P&C., which the Group and Ping An P&C share the premiums and claim payments in 50% and 50% proportions, respectively. The Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Agreement will be terminated with effect from January 1, 2020 and the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements are for a term of three years which will be effective from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022. Under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements, the Auto Annual Caps for the three years ending December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022 are expected to be RMB1,644.5 million, approximately RMB2,137.9 million and approximately RMB2,779.2 million, respectively.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) Ant Financial held approximately 13.53% of the total issued share capital of the Company and is a substantial shareholder of the Company under the Listing Rules. Ant Financial and its subsidiaries are therefore connected persons of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules; and (ii) Ping An Insurance held approximately 10.20% of the total issued share capital of the Company and is a substantial shareholder of the Company. Given Ping An P&C is a subsidiary of Ping An Insurance, Ping An P&C is therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As a result, the transactions contemplated under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement as captured under the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap and the New Continuing Connected Transactions constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Rule 14A.54 of the Listing Rules, if the Company proposes to revise the annual caps for continuing connected transactions, the Company will have to re-comply with the provisions of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules applicable to the relevant continuing connected transaction.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated with reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of each of the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the Further Revised Ant

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Financial Online Platform Annual Cap for the continuing connected transactions under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement are more than 5%, the New Continuing Connected Transactions and the transactions under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement as captured under the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the (i) the Ant Financial Independent Shareholders in relation to the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap as well as the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and (ii) the Auto Co-insurance Independent Shareholders in relation to the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Further Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap, the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement (including the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap) and Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements (including the Auto Annual Caps). As the Independent Financial Adviser, our role is to give an independent opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in such regard.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Lego Corporate Finance Limited did not have any shareholding in any member of the Group, Ant Financial Group or Ping An Group or relationships with or interests, directly or indirectly, in any assets which have been or are proposed to be acquired or disposed of by or leased to any member of the Group, Ant Financial Group or Ping An Group since December 31, 2018, that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to the independence of Lego Corporate Finance Limited. In the last two years, other than the engagement in February 2018 and April 2019 as the independent financial adviser to the independent board committee and independent shareholders, in relation to the amendment to the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreement and the revision of annual cap of the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement (as defined in the circular of the Company dated April 30, 2019), there was no engagement between the Group and Lego Corporate Finance Limited. Apart from normal professional fees being paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we have received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Group, Ant Financial Group or Ping An Group. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of (i) the Further Revision Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap; (ii) the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement and the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap; and (iii) the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements and the Auto Annual Caps.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion and advice, we have relied on (i) the information and facts contained or referred to in the Supplemental Circular and the Prospectus; (ii) the information supplied by the Group and its advisers; (iii) the opinions expressed by and the representations of the Directors and the management of the Group (the "Management"); and (iv) our review of the relevant public information. We have assumed that all the information provided and representations and opinions expressed to us or contained or referred to in the Supplemental Circular and the Prospectus were true, accurate and complete in all respects as at the date thereof and may be relied upon. We have also assumed that all statements contained and representations made or referred to in the Supplemental Circular and the Prospectus are true at the time they were made and continue to be true as at the date of the Supplemental Circular and the Prospectus and all such statements of belief, opinions and intention of the Directors and the Management and those as set out or referred to in the Supplemental Circular and the Prospectus were reasonably made after due and careful enquiry. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors, the Management, and/or the advisers of the Company. We have also sought and received confirmation from the Directors that no material facts have been withheld or omitted from the information provided and referred to in the Supplemental Circular and that all information or representations provided to us by the Directors and the Management are true, accurate, complete and not misleading in all respects at the time they were made and continued to be so until the date of the Supplemental Circular.

We consider that we have reviewed the relevant information currently available to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Supplemental Circular so as to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided, representations made or opinion expressed by the Directors and the Management or Ping An Group or Ant Financial Group, nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the business, affairs, operations, financial position or future prospects of the Group, Ant Financial Group or Ping An Group or any of their respective subsidiaries or associates.

  1. PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED IN RELATION TO THE FURTHER REVISED ANT FINANCIAL ONLINE PLATFORM ANNUAL CAP AND THE NEW ONLINE PLATFORM COOPERATION FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

In arriving at our recommendation, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background of the Group and Ant Financial

The Company is an online Insuretech company in the PRC and is principally engaged in the provision of insurance products and solutions in the context of five major ecosystems, namely lifestyle consumption, consumer finance, health, auto and travel ecosystems.

Ant Financial (formerly known as Zhejiang Alibaba E-Commerce Co., Ltd.* (浙江阿里巴巴電子 商務有限公司)) is a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC on October 19, 2000. Ant Financial is a technology company that aims to bring accessible financial services to the world. With

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

its mission "to bring the world equal opportunities", Ant Financial is committed to building an open and shared credit system and financial services platform to provide safe and accessible financial services to global consumers and microenterprises through its technological and innovation capabilities.

2. The Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap

2.1 Background of the revision

Reference is made to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement, which is an online platform cooperation framework agreement for the provision of insurance products to various parties, pursuant to which the relevant subsidiaries of Ant Financial Group would enter into separate agreements with the Company which would set out the specific terms and conditions (including pricing) according to normal commercial terms provided therein, with a term of three years commencing on the Listing Date.

On May 24, 2019, the original annual cap for the continuing connected transactions under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2019 was revised (the "Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap") and was approved by the then independent Shareholders.

2.2 Reasons for the revision

As mentioned in the Letter, given that the total Platform Service Fees of approximately RMB719.6 million that have been paid to Ant Financial and/or its associates as of September 30, 2019 already represents approximately 61.2% of the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap and in light of (i) a rapid surge in demand for the Group's insurance products made available through the online platforms of Ant Financial Group pursuant to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement during the second half of 2019 resulting from (a) the increase in risk protection awareness among the public in the PRC which has led to an increase in demand for protection related insurance products, in particular, health insurance; and (b) the cooperation between the Group and Ant Financial Group on promoting product innovation and strengthening the education of risk protection awareness of the target group of the Group's insurance products; and (ii) the increase in sales of the Group's insurance products in connection with customer protection in e-commerce transactions resulting from

  1. the strong growth in e-commerce business which is facilitated by the development in mobile internet; and (b) the various promotion activities conducted by Ant Financial Group on its online platforms which has facilitated the development of its own business, and in turn, benefited the Company's sales of insurance products relating to customer protection on such online platforms, the Board expects that the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap will not be sufficient to meet the Company's requirements. Accordingly, the Board proposes to increase the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap from approximately RMB1,140.7 million to the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap of approximately RMB1,176.8 million.

Having considered that the Group and Ant Financial Group is required to suspend business under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement should the actual platform service fee equal

− 25 −

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

or exceed the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap, which in turn will limit the revenue to be generated by the Group, we are of the view that the adoption of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2.3 Basis of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap

As mentioned in the Letter and as advised by the Management, the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap has been determined by the Board based on (i) the total Platform Service Fees of approximately RMB719.6 million that have been paid to Ant Financial and/or its associates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019; (ii) the premium of RMB4,311.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019; (iii) the Platform Service Fees expected to be payable to Ant Financial and/or its associates for the period from the date of the Announcement up to December 31, 2019; and (iv) the Company's estimated market demand from the date of the Announcement up to December 31, 2019, taking into account the increase in sales volume with the five existing online platforms operated by Ant Financial Group and/or its business partners, through which the Company can sell its insurance products to end users in 2019, and the increase in demand for protection related insurance products, in particular, health insurance, resulting from the increase in risk protection awareness among the public in the PRC.

Having considered (i) the Platform Service Fees of approximately RMB719.6 million that have been paid to Ant Financial and/or its associates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 represented approximately 61.2% of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap, and the remaining 38.8% of the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap is expected to be utilised for the three months ending December 31, 2019; and (ii) the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap only represents an increment of only approximately 3.2% as compared to the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap, which is not significant, we are of the view that the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap is not excessive and fair and reasonable so far as the Ant Financial Independent Shareholders are concerned.

3 The New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement

3.1 Principal terms

As disclosed in the Letter, the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement entered into by the Group and Ant Financial is an online platform cooperation framework agreement for the provision of insurance products to various parties through Ant Financial Group. As a provider of online insurance products, the Group uses online platforms (the "Online Platforms") operated by Ant Financial Group to sell various insurance products to end users of their Online Platforms in the Group's ordinary course of business.

As disclosed in the Letter, the principal terms of the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement are as follows:

  1. the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement is for a term of one year commencing on January 1, 2020; and

− 26 −

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. relevant subsidiaries of Ant Financial Group will enter into separate agreements with the Company which will set out the specific terms and conditions (including pricing) according to normal commercial terms provided in the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement.

We have reviewed the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement and did not note any abnormal terms or material difference between the terms of the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement and the terms of the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement.

3.2 Pricing policies

As disclosed in the Letter, the platform service fees paid to Ant Financial and/or its associates by the Group are determined based on arm's length negotiations between the Group and Ant Financial and/or its associates. They are determined according to the following principles: (i) if there exists comparable market rates paid by independent third parties, the platform service fees shall be based on such prevailing market rates; (ii) if there exists no comparable rates, the platform service fees shall be based on arm's length negotiations; and (iii) if there exists no comparable rates and there are difficulties with regards to arm's length negotiations, the platform service fees can be based on similar transactions' market rates.

As stated above, relevant subsidiaries of Ant Financial Group will enter into separate agreements with the Company which will set out the specific terms and conditions (including pricing) according to normal commercial terms provided in the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement. As advised by the Management, currently the platform service fees charged by Ant Financial Group are calculated with reference to the total premium the Group receives from the insurance products sold through the Online Platforms. The calculation is either based on (a) a fixed rate of the total premium pursuant to the product agreement entered; or (b) a formula based on the actual settlement claim in relation to the insurance products as detailed below.

We have discussed with the Management and noted that currently there are total three categories of insurance products sold by the Group under the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement, namely health insurance, travel insurance and e-commerce related insurance and it is expected that the said three types of insurance products will continue to be sold by the Group under the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement.

Under the current arrangements, the platform service fee in relation to e-commerce related insurance products is calculated by multiplying the total premium of the insurance by the surplus of settlement limit after deducting the actual maturity loss ratio times the fixed rate. The actual maturity loss ratio is calculated based on, and is adjusted from time to time in accordance with, the actual claim settlements of the insurance product. The settlement limit is based on the claim settlement limit set for each policy.

Meanwhile, the fixed rate of the total premium received by the Group through Ant Finance Group were adopted in calculating the platform service fee for the health insurance products and travel insurance products. Such fixed rates used in both calculation methods were determined based on a number of factors specific to each insurance product, including the product's risk management level, the promotion offered by the online platform, prevailing market prices for similar insurance products and the scale of the product business.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have reviewed sample product agreements entered into by the Group and Ant Financial Group pursuant to the Online Platform Corporation Framework Agreement for each category of insurance products as stated above, and noted that the pricing policies stipulated in the product agreements were consistent with the pricing policies as discussed above. As advised by the Management, the service scope provided by Ant Financial Group with respect to the travel insurance products is different from the service scope provided by other third parties independent from the Company, therefore, there is no product agreement entered into between the Group and independent third parties which is comparable to the product agreements between the Group and Ant Financial Group with respect to the travel insurance products. We have also reviewed sample agreements entered into by the Group and other third parties independent from the Group who provided similar online platform services to the Group with respect to the sales of health insurance products and e-commerce related insurance products and noted that the rates of platform service fees charged by such independent third parties were similar than the rates charged by Ant Financial Group.

Please refer to the section headed "3.4 The annual caps" in this letter for more information of the fixed rates adopted between the cooperation of the Group and Ant Financial Group. Based on the above, we are of the view that the the terms of the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Ant Financial Independent Shareholders are concerned.

3.3 Reasons for and benefits of entering into the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement

As disclosed in the Letter and confirmed by the Management, the Group is one of the only four companies with an online insurance licence in China. It is necessary as part of the Group's online business expansion to utilise various online platforms to reach a wider customer base. As stated in the Letter, the cooperation with Ant Financial Group under the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement will continue to be beneficial to the Group in light of Ant Financial Group's leading market position in online platforms in the PRC market as well as its close cooperation with Alibaba and other well-known online platforms. Moreover, the premium received by the Group pursuant to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement entered into between the Company and Ant Financial increased from the year ended December 31, 2016 to 2018, and the premium received by the Group pursuant to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 already exceeded the premium received the year ended December 31, 2018. As such, we are of the view that the entering into of the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement will allow the continuous business cooperation between the Group and Ant Financial Group and provide a stable platform for the distribution of the Group's online insurance products, therefore is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors consider Ant Financial an important ecosystem partner and the customer reach offered by Ant Financial is wider as compared to other online platform service providers because of its leading position in the online financial services industry in the PRC as well as its close cooperation with Alibaba and other well-known online platforms. Nevertheless, before entering into any agreement under the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement, the Group will assess the needs and will only enter into these transactions when the agreement is in the best interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

Note: The above table is for illustration purpose only and all figures in the above table have been rounded up to one decimal place. As advised by the Management, as the above information was provided by Ant Financial Group to the Group for settlement purpose, some premium and platform service fees for different categories of insurance policies sold through one online platform may be provided to the Group as a package and hence the Group may not be able to have an exact separation of premium and platform service fees for each category of insurance policies sold in this case. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts of premium shown in the above table represented the total premium pursuant to the product agreements entered for the year/period but not the actual premium received and the platform service fee represented the actual fees paid by the Group to Ant Financial Group based on the actual premium received for the period/year.

We have discussed with the Management and noted that during the Review Period, there were a total of three categories of insurance products sold by the Group through the Online Platforms, namely health insurance, travel insurance and e-commerce related insurance.

We have reviewed the management schedule for each of the years ended December 31, 2016,

2017 and 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019 stating the premium received by the Group pursuant to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement and the corresponding platform service fees paid to Ant Financial Group for each of the aforementioned categories. As shown in the schedule, the Group commenced the sales of e-commerce related insurance products through the Online Platforms before 2016, while it only started to receive premium and pay the platform service fees for the health insurance products and travel insurance products since the second to third quarter of 2016.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Platform service fees

The platform service fees paid by the Group to Ant Financial Group recorded a slight decrease by approximately 2.4% from approximately RMB437.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 to approximately RMB427.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Such slight decrease was mainly due to the decrease in platform service fees paid for the e-commerce related insurance policies as a combined effect of the decrease in premiums received from sales of insurance policies as well as the Average Platform Service Rate (representing the simple average of total platform service fee paid divided by the total premium received under the respective category of products) as discussed below in the paragraph headed "Platform service rate", which was partially offset by the increase in platform service fee paid for health insurance policies and travel insurance policies as a result of the substantial increase of premiums received by the Group from the sales of such insurance policies.

The platform service fee paid to Ant Financial Group by the Group increased by approximately 14.2% from approximately RMB427.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 to approximately RMB487.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Such increase was mainly due to the significant increase of platform service fee paid for the sales of health insurance policies due to the increase in both premiums received as well as the Average Platform Service Rate as discussed below.

The platform service fee paid to Ant Financial Group by the Group is projected to be approximately RMB959.5 million for the annualised amount for year ending December 31, 2019 based on the actual amount of approximately RMB719.6 million for nine months ended September 30, 2019, which represents an increase by approximately 96.8% from the year ended December 31, 2018. Such increase was mainly due to (i) the expanded customer base, particularly for health insurance related products after the introduction of settling premium by instalments in mid 2019 as evidenced by the sharp increase in premium starting from June 2019; and (ii) the expected increase of premium to be received by the Group.

Premium

We note that the premium received by the Group increased from approximately RMB1,932.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 to approximately RMB2,297.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing an year-on-year increase of approximately 18.9%. As advised by the Management, such increase was mainly attributable to the notable increase of premium received from the sales of health insurance policies after the launch of new products, and partially offset by the decrease of premium received from the sales of e-commerce related insurance policies as a result of switch of sales focus to the health insurance products.

The premium received by the Group further increased to RMB2,789.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, indicating an increase of approximately 21.4% as compared to the previous year. The increase was mainly led by the continuous growth of the premium received from the sales of health insurance policies since the previous year, and partially offset by the decrease of premium received from sales of travel insurance policies due to the change of marketing methods of certain online platforms through which the Group sold such products.

− 30 −

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The premium to be received by the Group is projected to be approximately RMB5,748.7 million for year ending December 31, 2019 based on the actual amount of approximately RMB4,311.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2019, which represents an increase of approximately 106.1% from the year ended December 31, 2018. Such increase was mainly due to (i) the increase in premium from health related insurance mainly due to premium generated from the core products of the health ecosystem, namely Personal Clinic Policy (*尊享e) and Healthcare Ecosystem (*好醫保) as a result of the increasing awareness of the health issues which led to a strong demand for family health insurance products; and (ii) the increase in premium from e-commerce related insurance as a result of the increase popularity of mobile internet and the penetration rate of online shopping by users.

Platform service rate

As illustrated in the section headed "3. The New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement - 3.2 Pricing policies" in this letter, fixed rate of the total premium received by the Group through Ant Finance Group were adopted in calculating the platform service fees for the health insurance products and travel insurance products, while the platform service fees in relation to e-commerce related insurance products is calculated by multiplying the total premium of the insurance by the surplus of settlement limit after deducting the actual maturity loss ratio (賠付率) times the fixed rate. As advised by the Management, the fixed rate, settlement limit and actual maturity loss rate may vary from product to product.

As further advised by the Management, the Group and Ant Financial Group are in the progress of expanding the customer base while relevant expenses/fees may increase. The Average Platform Service Rate for the health insurance products experienced an upward trend from the year ended December 31, 2016 to 2018. As advised by the Management, such upward trend was mainly due to

  1. the launch of new product in 2017 which bore a higher platform service rate as compared to the then existing products; and (ii) the sales of another new product launched in the end of 2017 which bore a higher platform service rate. The Average Platform Service Rate for the health insurance products decreased slightly for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the year ended December 31, 2018 mainly because the total premium pursuant to the product agreements entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased as a result of the introduction of settling premium by way of instalments whereas such increase in premium because of the instalments would not materially affect the actual platform service fee paid by the Group to Ant Financial Group which was based on the actual premiums received by the Group in the period.

The Average Platform Service Rate for the travel insurance policies increased from the year ended December 31, 2016 to the year ended December 31, 2017, and remained relatively stable for the year ended December 31, 2018 and further increased to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As confirmed by the management of the Company, the fluctuations of the Average Platform Service Rate were mainly due to the mix of the travel insurances purchased by the insurers.

With respect to the e-commerce related insurance policies, its Average Platform Service Rate recorded a decreasing trend during the Review Period. As advised by the Management, such downward trend of the Average Platform Service Rate was mainly attributable to the increase of

maturity loss ratio during the Review Period, which was brought by the expansion of the Group's sales channel which brought some customers who might be more likely to claim for repayment of certain insurance policies. Nevertheless, the Group may further optimise its risk management models based on its larger customer base so as to lower the maturity loss ratio subsequently.

As advised by the Management, the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap was determined by the Board having taken into consideration of (i) the expansion of insurance products under the cooperation between the Company and Ant Financial and/or its associates, through which the Company can sell its insurance products to end users and at the same time better serve the insurance needs of ecological Internet users based on mutual cooperation, thus improving the user experience of the platforms; (ii) the tremendous development of online platforms in the PRC in recent years, in particular, the rapid growth of the Internet property and casualty insurance business, which has given rise to the increase in the gross written premiums received by the Company from its provision of insurance products through the online platforms of Ant Financial Group pursuant to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement from approximately RMB2.8 billion in 2018 to an estimated amount of approximately RMB7.1 billion in 2019, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 153.6%, and the Directors' expectation that this growth trend will continue into 2020;

  1. the increase sales volume in the five exisiting online platforms established by Ant Financial and/or its associates through which the Company can sell its insurance products to end users in 2019; and (iv) the remarkable increase in gross written premium of the Group's lifestyle consumption ecosystem business in the first half of 2019 as a result of the Company's enhanced cooperation with Ant Financial Group to actively explore product innovation and update. Based on the insurance technology and Internet ecological service capabilities accumulated by the Company, the Company recorded a rapid growth rate in the sales of the Internet insurance products through Ant Financial and its partners. As such, it is expected that the platform service fees to be paid by the Company to Ant Financial and/or its associates for the year ending December 31, 2020 will be higher than the annual cap for the year ended December 31, 2019. Accordingly, the Board proposes to increase the annual cap from approximately RMB1,176.8 million for the year ending December 31, 2019 to approximately RMB2,010.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2020.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap has been determined by the Board based on (i) the total platform service fees that has been paid to Ant Financial and/or its associates as of the Latest Practicable Date, (ii) the platform service fees expected to be payable to Ant Financial and/or its associates for the year ending December 31, 2020; and (iii) the Company's estimated market demand for the year ending December 31, 2020, taking into account (a) the rapid growth rate the Company has recorded in the sales of the Internet insurance products through Ant Financial and its partners in 2019, and (b) the rise of awareness of insurance amongst the general public in the PRC resulting from the increase of their disposal income level and the upgrade of their consumption level.

Premium

It is noted that the Company expects to receive premiums from the sales of health insurance, travel insurance and e-commerce related insurance products of approximately RMB6,537.5 million, RMB390.8 million and RMB4,086.3 million for the year ending December 31, 2020, representing a year-on-year growth of approximately 2.0 times and 27.5% for health insurance and e-commerce related insurance products, respectively and a year-on-year decline of approximately 3.2% for travel insurance as compared to the annualised amount for the year ending December 31, 2019 through the Online Platforms.

We were advised by the Management that the Group, together with Ant Financial Group, continue to explore more insurance products and relevant services to solve the customers' problems. The Group has expanded its sales volume with the five existing online platforms operated by Ant Financial Group and/or its business partners in 2019. Such online platforms includes (i) an online third party payment platform ; (ii) two online shopping platform targeting buyers globally; (iii) an online trading platforms for business; and (iv) an online air ticketing platform. It is expected that the Group could benefit from the large amounts of end-users from these online platforms through the launch of new insurance products, especially health insurance products and e-commerce related insurance products.

Furthermore, as advised by the Management, the Group continued to provide insurance products covering risks associated with product return, product quality, logistics, post-sale services and merchant security deposits for main stream e-commerce platforms in China, such as customer finance insurance Fang Xin Tao* (放心淘) with Taobao and Furniture Cargo Policy* (天貓家裝貨運險) with Tmall. Through the cooperation with Ant Financial Group in several business fields, the Group is expected to continue to (i) explore innovative insurance products and user experiences for the customers of the lifestyle consumption related business; and (ii) proactively explore upgrades and innovation under the e-commerce scenarios by enhancing cooperation with an aim to identify any unsolved deficiency and provide comprehensive insurance solutions in order to increase the premium received by the Group.

We were also advised that the introduction of settling premium by instalments for health insurance related products has successfully attracted more customers. It is expected that (i) the expansion of insurance products under the cooperation between the Company and Ant Financial and/or its associates; (ii) launch of new insurance products; and (iii) the impact of settling premium by instalment for health insurance related products as evidenced by the sharp increase in premium starting from June 2019 will help generate additional premium to the Group.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

With respect to the travel insurance products, since the travel insurance products are not the core products under discussion with the new business partners, the Directors have been rather conservative on estimating the premium to be received by the sales of travel insurance policies as compared to the annualised premium for the year ending December 31, 2019.

We have also reviewed the management schedule with respect to the premium received by the Group and corresponding platform service fee paid to Ant Finance Group by the Group pursuant to the Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 provided by the Group. We note that the Group recorded an increase in premium received from the sales of insurance products through the online platforms of approximately 1.3 times as compared to that for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which also indicates an increasing trend of the Group's business and better cooperation with Ant Financial Group.

With respect to the health and related insurance market, according to the Statistical Communique of the People's Republic of China on the 2018 National Economic and Social Development (2018年 國民經濟和社會發展統計公報) (the "Statistical Communique") published by the National Bureau of Statistics, the annual premium of the insurance industry has increased by approximately 3.9% to around RMB3,801.7 billion whereas the annual premium of the health and casualty insurance has a significant increase of approximately 23.3% to around RMB652.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to expect that the health insurance market still has a potential for a significant expansion in the coming years.

In relation to the travel insurance market, the Statistical Communique also set out that the number of outbound travellers in 2018 has increased by approximately 13.5% from around 142.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 to around 162.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Among the outbound travellers, the non-business travellers have increased around 14.1% from approximately 135.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 to approximately 155.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, consequently, the demand for travel insurance may be boosted as a result of the increase in number of outbound travellers.

For the e-commerce related insurance market, the online retail sales in 2018 has a significant rise of approximately 23.9%, from RMB7175.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2017 to RMB9,006.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018 according to the Statistical Communique. Hence, the demand of value-added service such as insurance with transportation coverage and contents coverage is likely to increase along with the thrive of the e-commerce market.

According to the 2018 Internet Property Insurance Market Report issued by Association of China Insurance Industry (中國保險行業協會) as provided by the Company, the online non-auto insurance business has maintained a steady and rapid growth, and the business ratio continues to rise, which is higher than the overall non-auto insurance business. In 2018, the accumulated online non-auto insurance premium income was approximately RMB32.7 billion, representing a growth rate of approximately 75.3% over the same period, and still maintained a high growth rate. The rapid growth of online non-auto insurance provides a more diversified platform and demands for the development of online insurance, promotes the innovation of insurance products and the growth of the business. On the other hand, with the increase of the disposable income level of the citizens, the consumption level has upgraded and the awareness on insurance has risen, making insurance services gradually become essential, popular products such as return freight insurance, high-end medical insurance, aviation

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

accident insurance, personal accident insurance, credit and guarantee insurance have further cultivated and rise the insurance awareness of the public. Moreover, the further development of the industry has provided more space for the online non-auto insurance innovation and diversified product line.

We are of the view that the estimation of respective premium amount is justifiable.

Platform service rate

After reviewing the calculation of the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap as provided by the Management, we noted that the Average Platform Service Rate for each category of insurance products under the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement for the year ending December 31, 2020 is estimated with reference to (i) latest fixed rates of corresponding insurance products as discussed above; or (ii) historical platform service rates.

In particular, the Average Platform Service Rate for the health insurance products for the year ending December 31, 2020 of approximately 18.0% is estimated with reference to the current fixed rate of various insurance products offered, which has also taken into account the impact of the introduction of settling premium by way of instalments which reduced the overall Average Platform Service Rate as detailed in paragraph headed "3.4.1 Historical transaction amount and the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Caps - Platform service rate" above.

The fixed rate for the travel insurance products is expected to be relatively stable at approximately 3.5% for the year ending December 31, 2020 which is referenced to that for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

With respect to the Average Platform Service Rate for the e-commerce related insurance products which should be calculated based on the settlement limit, actual maturity loss ratio and fixed rate for each product, the Management estimates the Average Platform Service Rate for the year ending December 31, 2020 will only have a slight increase to approximately 20.1% as both the Group and Ant Financial Group are striving to lower the actual maturity loss ratio by carefully selecting the target customers in the future as well as the Group will further optimise its risk management models based on its larger customer base.

We are of the view that the estimation of respective Average Platform Service Rate is justifiable.

Annual cap - aggregate platform service fee

As illustrated above, the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap, being the aggregate platform service fee for the year ending December 31, 2020, was estimated based on the premium to be received by the Group and the corresponding Average Platform Service Rate.

− 35 −

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Management advised that the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap is closely linked to the online insurance products to be sold by the Group using the online platforms operated by Ant Financial Group and/or its associates to the end users, which in turn represent the sales target of the Group's business. We would like to emphasise that, premium to be received by the Group pursuant to the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement is a stable and recurring source of income of the Group, hence we are of the view that it is fair and reasonable to determine the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap according to the Group's sales target, so as not to limit the development of the Group's business in the event that it is able to meet its sales target.

Moreover, given the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap has to be revised to the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap because it is expected that the Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap will be insufficient, we are of the view that the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap should provide certain buffer to the Group in order to save resources for revising it.

Based on the aforesaid, we consider the bases of determination of the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap under the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement to be fair and reasonable. In addition, having considered that (i) the provision of online insurance products under the New Online Platform Cooperation Framework Agreement falls within the ordinary course of business of the Group; and (ii) the expected increase in platform service fee to be paid to Ant Financial Group is resulted from the expected increase of premium to be received by the Group, which contributes to the Group's revenue inflow, we consider that the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap is acceptable.

The Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap and the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap are determined by the Management based on assumptions, which include but are not limited to the current estimation of the amount of premiums and market conditions. Accordingly, we express no opinion as to how closely the actual amounts contemplated under the continuing connected transactions in comparison to the Further Revised Ant Financial Online Platform Annual Cap and the 2020 Online Platforms Annual Cap.

  1. PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED IN RELATION TO THE AUTO CO-INSURANCE COOPERATION AGREEMENT AND THE AUTO ANNUAL CAPS

In arriving at our recommendation, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background of Ping An P&C

Ping An P&C is a subsidiary of Ping An Insurance, which is the Company's substantial shareholder. The business scope of Ping An P&C covers all statutory property and casualty business and international reinsurance business including insurance for automobile, commercial properties, construction, liability, cargo, short-term accident and health.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

2. Background of the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements

2.1 Principal terms of the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements

As advised by the Management, pursuant to the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements, the premiums, claims and all fees and expenses incurred in the provision of auto co-insurance are to be shared by the Group and Ping An P&C in 50%:50% proportion, respectively. The term of the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements will be effective from January 1, 2020 and expire on December 31, 2022. The Company will enter into agreements for the provision of auto insurance services and Ping An P&C will be responsible for operating the duties (including insuring and making payments pursuant to claims) under such auto insurance agreements. Payments under such auto insurance agreements will be made to the Company which will then be settled with Ping An P&C.

As advised by the Management, the premiums sharing proportion was determined and agreed between the Company and Ping An P&C after an arm's length negotiation, against the backdrop of successful collaboration between the two parties since the beginning of 2015. The parties reached an agreement to 50:50 premium sharing ratio due to the synergy that can be created out of the cooperation of both parties as the Company can successfully sell and market insurance products through various third parties and through its own proprietary platforms. This also represents an affirmation by both parties of the results of the existing cooperation, indicating the determination and confidence of both parties to further deepen the cooperation and marking a higher level of cooperation and business exploration between the parties in the area of auto insurance. We have reviewed the terms of the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Agreement and the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements. Save for the payments of premium under such auto insurance agreements will be made to the Company, we did not note any abnormal term or any material difference between the terms of the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Agreement and the terms of the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements.

The auto insurance premiums are heavily regulated in the PRC and the premium charged under the Auto Co-insurance Agreements are determined at a market rate and approved by the CBIRC. They are determined after careful examination and verification by the business management committee of the department. Members of the committee conduct market analysis and various other procedures to determine all aspects of the product including the pricing. These prices must conform with the terms and regulations set by the Company and be approved by other relevant departments such as the actuary department and the operations management centre. The premium and claim payment sharing ratio between the Company and Ping An Group is agreed by both parties after arm's length negotiations having regard to the fact that Ping An Group will be responsible for the daily operations of the agreement including receiving reports of claims, investigating the claims and maintaining customer records. We have obtained samples of the agreements for the provision of auto insurance services and such price were in line with the said pricing policies.

2.2 Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements

As disclosed in the Letter, Ping An Group is one of the largest insurance providers in the PRC. Property and casualty insurance has been the foundation of its business with steady growth since its inception. The entering into of the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements which is a continuation of the existing cooperation between Ping An P&C and the Company in the provision of

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

auto co-insurance to the public under the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Agreement, represents an affirmation by both parties of the results of the existing cooperation, indicating the determination and confidence of both parties to further deepen the cooperation and marking a higher level of cooperation and business exploration between the parties in the area of auto insurance. In addition, the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements allow the Company not only to share the risk of claims with Ping An Group but also to reach a wider base of customers. Moreover, the Directors believes that Ping An Group's online auto co-insurance network will provide the Company with a number of opportunities to conduct a variety of business explorations.

As discussed with the Management, we note that the auto insurance products offered by the Group were all under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements and the Group does not have any other co-insurance cooperation arrangement with other third parties independent from the Company. The Group also does not offer any auto insurance services on its own. The payments of premium under such auto insurance agreements will be made to the Company which will then be settled with Ping An P&C. The Management are of the view that the Company has sufficient resources on handling the administrative work for the receipt of premium and experience in monitoring the compliance of relevant regulatory requirement. The Company would benefit from this arrangement in terms of cashflow management since the premium will be made to the Company directly by taking lead for the whole transaction. The total premiums the Group received under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements for each of the two years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, were approximately RMB77.9 million, RMB1,146.0 million and RMB964.0 million, respectively. Therefore, we consider that the co-insurance cooperation arrangement under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements provides a recurring and rapidly growing source of revenue to the Group, which is beneficial to the Group's business.

As discussed with the Management, we understand that for the auto co-insurance services under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements, Ping An P&C is primarily responsible for operating the duties under the agreement, such as underwriting and issuance of insurance policies, keeping insurance policies and settlement of insurance claims, whereas the Group is mainly responsible for the sales and distribution and provision of the sales channels, such as through its own proprietary platforms and cooperate with the Group's business partners who can provide their customers access to the Group's online insurance products. As discussed below, the transformation of the means and habits of auto insurance from offline to online and the simplification of insuring processes for automobiles create market opportunities for both Ping An P&C and the Group.

Particularly, having considered that the Group is the only few online Insuretech company, i.e. use of technology innovations designed to achieve savings and efficiency from the traditional insurance industry model, in the PRC to provide online auto insurance, whereas Ping An P&C, being a subsidiary of Ping An Insurance, is a solid and established insurance company which the insured would be confident with, the Directors consider, and we concur that the business cooperation under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements are mutually beneficial to Ping An P&C and the Group. In addition, the Group has powerful internet technologies and extensive connections to its ecosystem partners' platforms, while Ping An P&C will be able to reach such large extent of potential customers through online platforms under the cooperation with the Group, and hence, may be able to capture the potential growth in the Insuretech industry.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As advised by the Management, the auto insurance is only one of the five ecosystems of the Company, and the others include lifestyle consumption, consumer finance, health and travel. While the gross written premium from auto insurance has increased significantly from the year ended December 31, 2017 to the year ended December 31, 2018 as discussed further in the section headed "3. The annual caps" below, the Management confirmed there has also been increases in the performance of the other ecosystems. The auto co-insurance collaboration follows a unique business model that requires the two parties to perform two distinct roles. The Company performs the front-line sales function while Ping An P&C performs the back-end operation function. The Directors confirm that the Company maintains its independence by having its network of sales platforms from its various ecosystem partners including Alipay (支付寶), Xiaomi (小米) and WeChat payment (微信支付) and having its own proprietary platforms such as the Company's official website, the Company's own APP and Wechat platform as sales channels for the auto insurance products. While there are other players in the market that could provide the back-end operation function and there are other business models that the Company could implement to achieve and maintain the level of revenue in the future, the collaboration between the Company and Ping An P&C is one steeped in confidence and stability. The continuous collaboration between the parties to the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements further demonstrates Ping An P&C's confidence in its business relations with the Company and its enhanced effort to continue business collaboration with the Company.

As further disclosed in the Letter, the Company also believes that its collaboration with Ping An P&C is mutually beneficial. Ping An P&C benefits from the Company's technological expertise such as using big data analytics in price determination, personalised product design based on the Company's proprietary technologies and its network of platforms from its ecosystem partners as well as its own proprietary platforms to provide the front-line sales channels to Ping An P&C, while the Company benefits from Ping An P&C's brand name in the PRC market and its expertise in the operation of the provision of auto insurance products. The Company and Ping An P&C are both aligned to increase the total premiums received for the products to increase the revenue income of both parties.

Based on the aforesaid, the Directors believe that the collaboration with Ping An P&C does not raise a reliance issue on Ping An Group. Notwithstanding the expected increase in the amount of the Group's gross written premium under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements and regardless whether the collaboration with Ping An P&C raises a reliance issue on Ping An Group, considering that the entering into the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements with Ping An P&C allow the Group to (i) offer auto co-insurance services so as to reach a wider base of customers and expand its product offerings and revenue source; and (ii) achieve higher revenue by a proportion of 50% of premiums to be received, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Auto Co-insurance Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

RMB1,285.4 million

Note: Annualised based on the amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

We noted an upward trend of the historical amount of premiums shared by the Group under the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018 and the annualised amount for the year ending December 31, 2019 based on the amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The amount of premiums received was approximately RMB77.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, and increased by approximately 13.7 times to approximately RMB1,146.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. As advised by the Management, such increase was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in number of regions that the Group can offer the auto co-insurance products as approved by CIRC as detailed below; (ii) the increase in number of the insured during the year ended December 31, 2018; and (iii) the upgrade and optimisation of the Group's online purchase system for the commercial auto insurance products since mid-2017, such as simplification of the overall auto insurance procedures and process, which lead to an increase in insure conversion rate, which was derived by dividing the number of end-users who purchased the insurance products by the number of end-users who clicked into the Group's product purchase front page/commenced the process of online purchase by over 2.4 times from approximately 2.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017 to approximately 8.8% for the year ended December 31, 2018, which represented the successful rate of placing the auto insurance of an individual who browsed the online purchase platform.

The premiums shared by the Group for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 amounted to approximately RMB964.0 million with an annualised amount of approximately RMB 1,285.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2019, representing an increase of approximately 12.2% as compared to approximately RMB1,146.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Such increase was mainly due to the steady development in respect of the auto insurance business and optimised the underwriting quality of the existing business through refined operation to keep the loss ratio under control.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The annual cap for the year ending December 31, 2019 under the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreement was RMB6,000 million, while the annualised premiums of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2019 is approximately RMB1,285.4 million. According to the Management, such estimated shortfall was mainly due to (i) the unexpected slump on the automobile market in the PRC from the second half of 2018 which was unforeseen at the time of the revision of the annual cap for the year ending December 31, 2019 under the Existing Ping An Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreement in February 2018; and (ii) the cease of business relationship with some platforms such as Changan (長安汽車) and BYD (比亞迪汽車) since April 2019 which was mainly due to the relatively higher cost for the insurance for electric cars.

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (the "CAAM"), the auto market in the PRC dropped by approximately 2.8% on a year-on-year basis in 2018, being the first fall since 1990 and missed the previous sales growth expectation. CAAM citied that such decrease was mainly due to (i) slower economic growth in China led to the low consumer sentiment and the drop of vehicle sales; and (ii) a tough pollution crackdown which requires cars to have better filtering systems for particulate matters and for trapping exhaust gases and in turn, affect the sales of vehicle in particular those vehicle does not meet emission standard and the demand of the auto insurance.

As discussed with the Management, we note that the Group launched its auto co-insurance products by batch since 2015 after obtaining relevant approvals from CIRC. The table below sets forth the timing of launch of the Group's auto co-insurance products in respective regions of the PRC (other than Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan)

Auto Annual Caps

The Auto Annual Caps amount to approximately RMB1,644.5 million, RMB2,137.9 million and RMB2,779.2 million for the three years ending December 31, 2022, which represented growth rate of approximately 30.0% as compared to the preceding year. In estimating the Auto Annual Caps for the three years ending December 31, 2022, the Group has taken into account of (i) the historical growth of actual insured premium of approximately 13.7 times from the year ended December 31, 2017 to the year ended December 31, 2018 and approximately 13.3% growth in actual premiums received for nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to that of nine months ended September 30, 2018; (ii) the potential growth in all regions in the PRC; and (iii) the potential growth of the scale of auto insurance premium which is associated with the expectation that CBIRC will promulgate changes on how auto insurance premium should be calculated that is expected to be implemented in 2020.

The average premiums shared by the Group per region increased by approximately 12.2% from approximately RMB31.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to approximately RMB35.7 million for the year ending December 31, 2019 based on the annualised premium of approximately RMB1,285.4 million as all Region A, B, C and D also recorded growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to that for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As such, we are of the view that the premiums shared by the Group recorded a steady growth from 2018 to 2019.

In addition, as stated in the Prospectus, according to the research and forecasts of the industry consultant (the "Industry Consultant") engaged by the Group, China has become the largest auto market in the world. According to the information stated on the website of 中國公安部交通管理局 (Traffic Management Bureau of The Ministry of Public Securities of the PRC), the total number of automobiles under registration in the PRC is approximately 340 million as at the end of June 2019 and there are approximately 12.4 million new automobiles registered during the first half of 2019. According to the Industry Consultant, it is expected that the number of outstanding vehicles in China will grow at a compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") of 10.6% from 2016 to 2021, reaching 321 million by 2021. As stated in the Prospectus, according to the Industry Consultant, the size of the auto related Insuretech market amounted to RMB124 billion in 2016, and is expected to grow to RMB412 billion in 2021, representing a CAGR of 27.1%. The percentage of the overall auto insurance market that is addressable by Insuretech is expected to increase from 18% in 2016 to 35% in 2021, according to the Industry Consultant.

The implied total amount of premium income to be generated under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, which amounts to approximately RMB3.2 billion and RMB4.3 billion (i.e. the combined income of the Group and Ping An P&C) only account for approximately 3.0% market share of the size of the auto related Insuretech

market in the PRC in 2020 and 2021 as estimated by the Industry Consultant. The implied total amount of premium income to be generated under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements for the year ending December 31, 2022, which amounts to approximately RMB5.6 billion (i.e. the combined income of the Group and Ping An P&C) also accounts for approximately 3.5% market share of the size of the auto related Insuretech market in the PRC in 2022 only as estimated by referencing the size of the auto related Insuretech market in the PRC in 2021 based on the estimation by the Industry Consultant and using the compound annual growth rate of approximately 10.6% from 2016 to 2021. Moreover, considering that, as advised by the Management, the Group is currently the only few online Insuretech companies in the PRC and that the Group is approved to distribute the auto co-insurance products in all 36 regions of the PRC, we consider the Group is well-positioned to seize the growth of the auto related Insuretech industry of the PRC. Based on the aforesaid, we consider the bases and assumptions for determining the Auto Annual Caps (including the growth rate of premiums adopted by the Management) are fair and reasonable and that we do not consider the targeted premium income to be generated by the Group under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements for the three years ending December 31, 2022 is overly aggressive.

In estimating the Auto Annual Caps, the Group has also taken into account the further reforms to the administration system of the commercial auto insurance premium rates, as well as the gradual decrease in the premiums, there will come a golden era for further developments in internet auto insurance. Since 2017, the Group have commenced business in relation to auto ecosystems, including

  1. commencing the sale of auto insurance in the automotive aftermarket by means of software-as-a-service (SAAS); (ii) creating direct operation channels such as an auto insurance app, a WeChat service account and direct sales mini programs; (iii) enhancing the depth of cooperation with existing auto retail platforms including Guazi (瓜子), Maodou (毛豆), Yixin (易鑫) and Cango (燦穀); and (iv) commencing business with other insurance or auto retail platforms such as WeSure(微保) and TuHu (途虎養車).

Guazi (瓜子) is an online second-hand automobile transaction platform launched in 2015 and covers around 30 provinces in the PRC; Maodou (毛豆) is a business line operated by the owner of Guazi (瓜子) and an online plus offline auto retail platform launched in 2017, focusing on selling and rental of new automobiles and covers more than 30 major cities in the PRC; Yixin Group (易鑫), started in 2014, is an online automobile retail transaction platform in the PRC and mainly provides transaction platform services and auto related financing services. Based on the information provided by the Management, the premiums contributed by these platforms increased by approximately 381.0% from 2017 to 2018 and further by approximately 9.4% from the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

After discussing with the Management and according to our research, we noted WeSure(微保) is an online insurance platform launched by Tencent in the PRC which cover all 36 provinces and allowed its users from WeChat and QQ to purchase insurance products directly, TuHu (途虎養車) is an online automobile maintenance platform launched in 2011 and covers around 31 provinces in the PRC; and Cango (燦穀) is an automotive transaction service platform launched in 2010 for selling and rental of automobiles. We have reviewed the schedule of the auto insurance premiums expected to be generated via such platforms prepared by the Management and noted that the auto insurance premiums to be contributed via such business partners are expected to increase in the coming years considering the Group only commenced business cooperation with them in 2019 and the Group expects to cooperate with these business partners in a long run.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Moreover, as mentioned in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Group continued to increase investments in video claim settlement service for auto insurance and integrate in-house and external technologies and data during the first half of 2019, providing users of Baobiao Auto Insurance with online one-to-one instructions to complete loss assessment within 10 minutes at fastest. With the extensive rollout of the 5G technology in the future, its capability of video claim settlement will make communication via video even smoother and facilitate direct communications without delay and labour costs. It is believed that the enhancement of such video claim settlement service will attract more insurers to purchase from the Group.

Considering that, (i) as advised by the Management, the Group is currently the only few online Insuretech companies in the PRC to provide online auto insurance; (ii) the Group is approved to distribute the auto co-insurance products in all 36 regions of the PRC; and (iii) the marketing initiatives of the Group as discussed above; we consider the bases and assumptions for determining the Auto Annual Caps (including the growth rate of premiums adopted by the Management) are fair and reasonable and that we do not consider the targeted premium income to be generated by the Group under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements for the three years ending December 31, 2022 are overly aggressive.

Furthermore, CBIRC launched a one-year pilot program in April 2018 to reform the independent pricing of commercial auto insurance in Guangxi, Shanxi and Qinghai provinces. Insurance companies in these locations will have greater flexibility to price commercial auto insurance and offer deeper discounts to high-quality,low-risk customers. The Directors believe that, if such pricing mechanism imposes to other provinces, the pricing reform bring in a solid foundation for the market-oriented pricing mechanism since the Company can offer different premiums based on the risk identification and risk appetites of different customers. Drivers with good driving habits and low accident frequency can enjoy a lower premium which in turn, boosted the customer's willingness to buy additional auto insurance.

The Management advised that the Auto Annual Caps represent the sales targets of the Group's auto co-insurance business during the corresponding periods. We would like to emphasise that, notwithstanding the increasing Auto Annual Caps as compared to the actual historical premiums received, taking into account that the premiums to be received by the Group under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements is a stable and recurring source of income of the Group, we are of the view that it is fair and reasonable to set the Auto Annual Caps according to the Group's sales target, so as not to limit the development of the Group's business in the event that it is able to meet its sales target.

Based on the aforesaid, we consider the bases of determine of the Auto Annual Caps under the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements (including the assumptions and projections of the premiums to be received by the Group) are fair and reasonable. In addition, having considered that

  1. entering into the Auto Co-insurance Cooperation Agreements allows the Group to share a higher portion of premium; (ii) the expected increases in premium from the Group's auto co-insurance business were estimated in accordance with the assumptions made by the Directors which have been made with due care and consideration and made on an objective and a reasonable basis; and (iii) the provision of auto co-insurance products falls within the ordinary course of business of the Group, we consider that the proposed Auto Annual Caps are acceptable.
