AND

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purposes of this circular are to give you notice of the AGM, and information on certain matters to be dealt with at the AGM, which include (i) grant of general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares; and (ii) re-election of Directors.

- 3 -

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 29 April 2020, general and unconditional mandates were given to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares and to repurchase Shares. These mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

The Directors believe that the renewal of such general mandates is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to give Directors general and unconditional mandates to exercise powers of the Company to issue and to repurchase Shares:

  1. an ordinary resolution (resolution 4) to give the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares not exceeding (a) 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of the AGM (the "Issue Mandate") plus (b) (if the Directors are so authorised by a separate resolution (resolution 6) of the Shareholders) the number of Shares repurchased by the Company subsequent to the passing of such resolution by the Shareholders as described below (collectively the "Issue Mandates"); and
  2. an ordinary resolution (resolution 5) to give the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of the AGM (the "Repurchase Mandate").

Based on 776,244,974 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company would be allowed to issue a maximum of 77,624,497 Shares under the Issue Mandate and to repurchase a maximum of 77,624,497 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

Shareholders are invited to refer to the Notice set out on pages 13 to 17 of this circular for full text of the abovementioned ordinary resolutions in relation to the Issue Mandates and Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement required under rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Process for Nomination of Director

A Director Nomination Policy has been adopted by the Board in November 2018. The Board has the ultimate responsibility for the selection, appointment and re-appointment of Directors. The Nomination Committee is delegated with the duties to, inter alia, review the composition of the Board. When necessary, the Nomination Committee will identify, select and nominate suitable candidates for appointment as new Director(s), and make recommendations on the re-appointment of incumbent Directors in accordance with the said policy.

When recommending any candidate for directorship, the Nomination Committee will consider various factors including, but not limited to, the potential contribution that the candidate can bring to the Board in terms of qualifications, skills and experience, the candidate must have sufficient time available for the proper performance of Director's duties, the candidate should be of high ethical character with reputation for integrity, the candidate will contribute optimally to diversity, and so forth.

The search process for candidates can be undertaken by the Nomination Committee itself, through referral from various sources, or by the Company's advisors and professional search consultants. The Nomination Committee will then develop a short list of potential candidates for the Board to agree on a preferred candidate.

After the Board has made the appointment, the newly appointed Director is subject to election by shareholders at the first general meeting following the appointment.

Non-executive Directors were appointed for an initial term of three years and will continue in office thereafter subject to termination by notice in writing by either party to the other. In addition, pursuant to Article 87 of the Company's Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors shall retire from office by rotation and every Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.

Accordingly, Dr Victor Fung Kwok King, Mr Anthony Lo Kai Yiu and Mr Benedict Chang Yew Teck will retire at the AGM. Mr Anthony Lo Kai Yiu and Mr Benedict Chang Yew Teck, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.

Dr Victor Fung Kwok King has decided not to stand for re-election and will retire from the Board with effect from the conclusion of the AGM due to the need to devote more time to other commitments within and outside the Fung Group. Dr Victor Fung Kwok King has confirmed that he has no disagreement with the Board and there is no matter relating to his retirement that needs to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Recommendation of the Nomination Committee

On 23 March 2021, the Nomination Committee, having reviewed the Board's composition, recommended Mr Anthony Lo Kai Yiu and Mr Benedict Chang Yew Teck to the Shareholders for re-election at the AGM. Mr Anthony Lo Kai Yiu, who is a member of the Nomination Committee, abstained from voting at the Committee meeting when his own nomination was being considered.

The nominations were made in accordance with the Nomination Policy and the objective criteria (including without limitation, professional experience, skills and knowledge), and with due regard to the Board Diversity Policy of the Company.

The Nomination Committee has also taken into account the annual written confirmation provided by Mr Anthony Lo Kai Yiu to the Company regarding his independence in accordance with Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, his valuable contribution to the Board and commitment to his role. Mr Lo has served on the Board for more than nine years. As an Independent Non-executive Director with extensive knowledge and experience in business management, Mr Lo demonstrated ability to provide independent and valuable advice/guidance regarding the Company's affairs and acted in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders over the years. After assessment by the Nomination Committee, the Board is of the view that Mr Lo continues to be independent and provides valuable contributions, relevant insights and can contribute to the diversity of the Board in addition to his ability to fulfill his role as required and thus recommends him to be re-elected.

Details of the Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II of this circular.

Under resolution 2 in the Notice, the re-election of Directors will be individually voted on by the Shareholders.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Notice is set out on pages 13 to 17 of this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular. A member entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of him/her. Whether or not you intend to be present at the AGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar, Tricor Abacus Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM should you so wish.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

VOTING

Pursuant to Rule 13.39 of the Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at general meetings must be taken by poll. Chairman of the AGM will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM. Pursuant to Article 66 of the Company's Articles of Association, a poll can be demanded:

  1. by the chairman of such meeting; or
  2. by at least three members present in person or in the case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or
  3. by a member or members present in person or in the case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all members having the right to vote at the meeting; or
  4. by a member or members present in person or in the case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and holding Shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting being Shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all Shares conferring that right; or
  5. if required by the rules of the designated stock exchange, by any Director or Directors who, individually or collectively, hold proxies in respect of Shares representing 5% or more of the total voting rights at such meeting.

The results of the poll will be published on the websites of the Company at www.cr-asia.com and HKExnews at www.hkexnews.hk following the AGM.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the proposals mentioned in this circular, including the proposals for the grant of the Issue Mandates and the Repurchase Mandate and re-election of Directors, are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board recommends you to vote in favour of all these resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

Yours faithfully

Victor FUNG Kwok King

Chairman

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares was 776,244,974 Shares. Subject to the passing of resolution 5 approving the Repurchase Mandate as set out in the Notice on pages 13 to 17 of this circular and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 77,624,497 Shares until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Memorandum and Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is the earliest.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

A repurchase of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such purchase will be to the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Directors propose that repurchases of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate will be financed from the Company's distributable profits or proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose. In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

It is envisaged that a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (including repurchase of the maximum number of Shares under such mandate effected in full at any time during the period of the mandate) may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020 but the Directors do not intend to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent.

DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

None of the Directors or (to the best of the knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries) any close associates of the Directors have a present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company of a present intention to sell Shares to the Company and no such persons have undertaken not to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

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 Listing Rules, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

SHARE PRICE

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

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a share repurchase 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Fung Retailing Limited is directly interested in approximately 40% of the Company's issued Shares and is one of the substantial Shareholders (as defined in Rule 1.01 of the Listing Rules). Based on the said interests of Fung Retailing Limited in the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the resolution to be proposed at the AGM, the interests of Fung Retailing Limited in the issued Shares will be increased from approximately 40% to approximately 45% and they would be obliged to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of such increase. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would give rise to an obligation on the part of Fung Retailing Limited to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

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