On 12 May 2021, the Board approved the Proposed Spin-off and declared the special interim dividend to be satisfied by way of the Distribution.

Accordingly, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should be aware that there is no assurance that the Proposed Spin-off will take place or as to when it may take place.

DECLARATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION

1. Basis of the assured entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders in the Preferential Offering

The basis of the assured entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders to the CCMGT Shares (the "Reserved Shares") in the Preferential Offering, if and when made, has been determined, which is one (1) Reserved Share for every integral multiple of 90 shares of the Company ("Shares") held by the Qualifying Shareholders at the Record Date, being 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 14 May 2021.

The assured entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders to the Reserved Shares are not transferable and there will be no trading in nil-paid entitlements on the Stock Exchange.

Qualifying Shareholders may apply for a number of the Reserved Shares which is greater than, equal to or less than their assured entitlements or may apply only for excess Reserved Shares under the Preferential Offering.

A valid application for a number of the Reserved Shares which is less than or equal to a Qualifying Shareholder's assured entitlement under the Preferential Offering will be accepted in full, subject to the terms and conditions of the Preferential Offering.

Where a Qualifying Shareholder applies for a number of the Reserved Shares which is greater than the Qualifying Shareholder's assured entitlement under the Preferential Offering, the relevant assured entitlement will be satisfied in full (subject to the terms and conditions as mentioned above), but the excess portion of such application will only be satisfied to the extent that there are sufficient available Reserved Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders as their assured entitlements under the Preferential Offering. Details of how such excess portion will be satisfied will be further described in the prospectus of CCMGT (the "Prospectus").

Qualifying Shareholders who hold less than 90 Shares on the Record Date and therefore will not have an assured entitlement to the Reserved Shares will still be entitled to participate in the Preferential Offering by applying for excess Reserved Shares only. Such application will only be satisfied to the extent that there are sufficient available Reserved Shares not taken up by Qualifying Shareholders as their assured entitlement under the Preferential Offering.

3

If the Preferential Offering proceeds, details of the Preferential Offering, including the terms and conditions for applications (including excess applications) for the Reserved Shares under the Preferential Offering, will be set out in the Prospectus and the accompanying blue application form.

As the size and structure of the Global Offering have not yet been finalised, the basis of the assured entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders to the Reserved Shares in the Preferential Offering as set out in this announcement is subject to change. In the event that there is a change in the basis of the assured entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders to the Reserved Shares in the Preferential Offering, a further announcement will be made by the Company.

2. Basis of the assured entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders in the Distribution

On 12 May 2021, the Board declared the Distribution. The basis of the assured entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders to CCMGT Shares in the Distribution, if and when made, has been determined.

The Distribution, as declared by the Board, is conditional upon the Listing Committee granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the CCMGT Shares and such approval not having been revoked prior to 8:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on the date on which dealings in the CCMGT Shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange commence. If this condition is not satisfied, the Distribution will not be made and the Proposed Spin-off will not take place.

If the Distribution becomes unconditional, it will be satisfied wholly by way of a distribution in specie of the CCMGT Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appeared on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date on basis of one (1) CCMGT Share for every one (1) Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date.

Fractional entitlements of Qualifying Shareholders to the CCMGT Shares under the Distribution will be retained by the Company for sale in the market and the Company will keep the proceeds of sale, after deduction of related expenses therefrom, for the benefit of the Company.

4

As the details of the Distribution have not yet been finalised, the basis of the entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders to the CCMGT Shares in the Distribution as set out in this announcement is subject to change. In the event that there is a change in the basis of the entitlement of Qualifying Shareholders to the CCMGT Shares in the Distribution, a further announcement will be made by the Company.

3. PRC Stock Connect Investors

According to the "Stock Connect Shareholding Search" available on the Stock Exchange's website (www.hkexnews.hk), as at 11 May 2021, China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited ("ChinaClear") held 153,554,000 Shares, representing approximately 5.18% of the total issued Shares (i.e. 2,967,116,120 Shares). ChinaClear is a CCASS Participant with HKSCC Nominees Limited.

Under Article 23 of the Implementation Rules for Registration, Depository and Clearing

Services under the Mainland China-HongKong Stock Markets Connect Program (《內地與香港股票市場交易互聯互通機制登記、存管、結算業務實施細則 》), ChinaClear does not provide services relating to the subscription of newly issued shares. Accordingly, the PRC southbound trading investor(s) through Shenzhen-HongKong Stock Connect (the "Shenzhen Connect") who hold the Shares through ChinaClear as nominee (the "PRC Stock Connect Investors") are Non-QualifyingShareholders and cannot participate in the Preferential Offering through the trading mechanism of the Shenzhen Connect.

The PRC Stock Connect Investors may hold the CCMGT Shares pursuant to the

Distribution through ChinaClear. Pursuant to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Measures for the Implementation of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program ( 深圳證券 交易所深港通業務實施辦法》), the PRC Stock Connect Investors (or the relevant ChinaClear participants, as the case may be) whose stock accounts in ChinaClear are credited with CCMGT Shares may only sell the CCMGT Shares on the Stock Exchange under the Shenzhen Connect.

PRC Stock Connect Investors should seek advice from their intermediary (including broker, custodian, nominee or ChinaClear participant) and/or other professional advisers for details of the logistical arrangements as required by ChinaClear.
