APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT OF JOINT PROVISIONAL

LIQUIDATORS FOR RESTRUCTURING PURPOSES ONLY

This announcement is made by MIE Holdings Corporation (the ''Company'', together with its subsidiaries, the ''Group'') pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ''Stock Exchange'') (the ''Listing Rules'') and the Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board of directors (''Board'') announces that the Company intends to implement a restructuring with the assistance of the court-supervised provisional liquidation regime in the Cayman Islands, commonly known as a ''light touch'' provisional liquidation. Accordingly, a winding up petition (the ''Petition'') has been filed by Mr. Zhao Jiangwei, an executive director and creditor of the Company on 11 May 2021 (Cayman Islands Time) with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the ''Grand Court'') to facilitate the making of the Cayman JPL Appointment Application (defined below). Together with the Petition, an application for the appointment of joint provisional liquidators of the Company on a ''light touch'' basis (the ''Cayman JPL Appointment Application'') was also filed by the Company on 11 May 2021 (Cayman Islands Time).

Upon the granting of the order sought in the Cayman JPL Appointment Application, the Cayman JPLs will be appointed as joint provisional liquidators of the Company on a ''light touch'' basis in order to assist the Company and its existing management with its ongoing financial restructuring efforts. During such process, the Company will be protected by an automatic statutory moratorium under Cayman Islands law from any proceedings being commenced or continued against it without the leave of the Grand Court thereby facilitating

the Company, the management and the proposed Cayman JPLs in continuing to formulate and implement a collective restructuring plan in the best interests of all of the Company's stakeholders.

Accordingly, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company, its shareholders and its creditors, that the Cayman JPLs be appointed to the Company by way of the Cayman JPL Appointment Application.
