APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required to be sent to all Shareholders under the Listing Rules, to provide the relevant information in connection with the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASES OF SECURITIES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchases of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the mandate granted to them if the Repurchase Mandate is approved would be beneficial to the Company.

It is proposed that up to 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares as at the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate may be repurchased. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 840,000,000 Shares were in issue and outstanding. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 5 of the notice for the AGM and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Board would be authorised to repurchase up to 84,000,000 Shares during the period up to: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiry of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will only be made if the Board is of the view that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Any exercise of the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital. Any repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company that are legally permitted to be utilised in this connection in accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE

On the basis of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020 (being the date of its latest published audited financial statements) and taking into account the current working capital position of the Company and the number of Shares now in issue, the Directors consider that there will unlikely be any material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors confirm that no repurchase would be made to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

5. STATUS OF REPURCHASED SECURITIES

The Listing Rules provide that the listing of all repurchased securities is automatically cancelled and that the certificates for those securities must be cancelled and destroyed. The aggregate of the authorised share capital shall remain unchanged.

6. INTENTION TO SELL SHARES

None of the Directors, and to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Directors, have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

7. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

9. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of its or their shareholding, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, Mr. Lai Zhi Tian through himself and Crystal Talent is interested in 472,281,000 Shares, Ms. Jiang Li Xia through Cheer Lik is interested in 42,240,000 Shares and Mr. Lai Ying Feng is interested in 5,990,000 Shares (respectively representing approximately 56.22%, 5.03% and 0.71% of the total issued Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) (the "Group of Shareholders"). The Group of Shareholders are together entitled to exercise or control the exercise of approximately 61.96% of voting power of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the resolution, the shareholding interest of the Controlling Shareholders in the Company would be increased to approximately 68.85% of the issued shares of the Company and such an increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase Shares to an extent which will result in the number Shares held by the public reduced to less than 25%.

10. MARKET PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
