CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY FOR ATTENDING THE

AGM

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 14 May 2021 to Thursday, 20 May 2021 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares will be effected. In order to be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM, all transfer instruments accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged by holders of the Shares with the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, namely, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 13 May 2021.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 108(a) and 112 of the Articles, the Directors, Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson, Mr. Ju Wenzhong and Ms. Liu Peilian, will retire at the AGM, and being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. Information required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules in relation to the Directors for re-election is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

Pursuant to Rule A.5.5 in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, the nomination committee under the Board and the Board have discussed the matters regarding the re-election of, the independent non-executive Director, Ms. Liu. Ms. Liu has served as the independent non-executive Director of the Company for more than eight years and is familiar with the Company's business. She has also provided the Company with objective, independent and sufficient opinions and analysis from different perspectives and with her professional knowledge and unique experience. Ms. Liu has proved her ability to provide independent, fair and objective opinions on the affairs of the Company by virtue of her personal views, skills and experience. She is also able to promote the diversity of the structure of the Board of the Company in various aspects, including gender, culture, knowledge, educational background, experience and skills. She does not hold seven or more listed company directorship, thus she can give sufficient time and attention to the Company's affairs. The Board has greatly benefited from her contribution in the past.

In view of the above, and given that Ms. Liu has furnished her independence confirmation under Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules to the Board and has not engaged in any executive management of the Group, the Board believes that Ms. Liu is independent and should be re-elected.

GENERAL MANDATE AND REPURCHASE MANDATE

By resolutions of the Shareholders passed on 19 May 2020, the Directors were granted general mandates to issue Shares and to repurchase Shares. Each such mandate will expire at the conclusion of the forthcoming AGM.

In addition, subject to a separate approval under ordinary resolution no. 8(3), the number of issued shares purchased by the Company under ordinary resolution no. 8(2) will also be added to the 20% general mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution no. 8(1).

This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the AGM.

NOTICE OF AGM

The AGM will be held at Unit B, 20/F, Two Chinachem Plaza, 68 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong on Thursday, 20 May 2021 at 10:30 a.m., at which, inter alia, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider the proposed declaration and payment of the final dividend, the proposed re-election of the Directors and the proposed grant to the Directors of the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate. The notice of AGM is set out on pages 15 to 18 of this circular.

VOTING PROCEDURES

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, all resolutions will be put to vote by way of poll at the AGM. An announcement on the poll results will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as the explanatory statement required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to provide you with the information necessary for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate to be granted to the Directors.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 8,430,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 843,000,000 Shares (representing not more than 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate).

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders that they should have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase the Shares in the market. Such repurchases 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 earning per Share and will only be made where the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

A listed company is prohibited from repurchasing its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time. Under the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, any repurchase by the Company may be made out of the profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, out of capital.

APPENDIX II

FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

On the basis of the current financial position of the Company as disclosed in its annual results announcement on 22 March 2021 and taking into account the Company's current working capital position, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's working capital and/or gearing position as compared with the position disclosed in this annual results announcement. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company's working capital requirements or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applied, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their Close Associates, currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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

As at the Latest Practicable Date, King Lok directly held 5,307,450,000 Shares, representing an effective interest of approximately 62.96% in the issued share capital of the Company. Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson, by virtue of his interest in King Lok, was deemed to be interested in the said 5,307,450,000 Shares. King Lok is held as to 100% by Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson. Accordingly, each of King Lok and Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson is interested in 5,307,450,000 Shares, representing an effective interest of approximately 62.96% in the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the effective interests of King Lok in the issued share capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 69.95%, and the effective interests of Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson in the issued share capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 69.95%. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent it will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for King Lok or Mr. Zhang Liang, Johnson to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchases made under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from repurchase of shares on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that the Company's public float will fall below 25%. The Directors do not intend to repurchase Shares to such an extent that the public float of the Company will fall below 25%.
