passing of the resolution approving the Share Buy-Back Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be bought back pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate shall be 118,486,533 Shares.

An explanatory statement containing all relevant information relating to the Share Buy-Back Mandate as required under the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The information in the explanatory statement is to provide you with the information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant to the Directors the Share Buy-back Mandate at the Annual General Meeting.

3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Bye-laws and the Corporate Governance Code as set out in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, Dr. MA Weihua, Mr. SUN Lei and Mr. CHEN Yigong will retire as Directors by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election.

In regards to assessing the suitability of the Retiring Directors for re-election, the Nomination Committee has reviewed and considered the Board's composition and the biographies of the Retiring Directors in accordance with the nomination policy and board diversity policy of the Company. Taking into consideration their knowledge, experience, capability and various diversity aspects as set out in the board diversity policy of the Company, the Nomination Committee is of the view that (a) the re-election of Dr. MA Weihua as a non-executive Director would contribute to the diversity of the Board, in particular by virtue of his extensive managerial experiences; (b) the re-election of Mr. SUN Lei as an executive Director may contribute to the diversity of the Board, in particular by virtue of his deep understanding of the financial businesses of the Group and board range of commercial experiences; and (c) the re-election of Mr. CHEN Yigong as an independent non-executive Director would contribute to the diversity of the Board, in particular by virtue of his professional qualification as a lawyer having extensive experiences in legal industry.

For Directors who serve on multiple listed companies, the Company has not set any limitation on the maximum number of listed companies that an individual Director may serve. Instead, the Nomination Committee will make an assessment on a case-specific basis, having regard to the time commitments and attendance records of the relevant Director.

In regards to the independence of Mr. CHEN Yigong, he does not hold any cross-directorships or have any significant links with other Directors through involvement in other companies or bodies so his independent judgement would not be interfered. Mr. CHEN Yigong has confirmed his independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and the Board considered Mr. CHEN Yigong meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the terms of the guidelines.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves the explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to the Shareholders in connection with the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their fully-paid up shares traded on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the shares of the Company may be listed and recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange for this purpose subject to certain restrictions.

2. SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares comprised 1,184,865,332 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or bought back prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 118,486,533 Shares.

3. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK OF SHARES

The Directors consider that the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and will provide the Company the flexibility to make buy-backs of Shares when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such buy-backs may, depending on the circumstances, enhance the net asset value of the Company and/or earnings per Share.

The Directors intend that buy-backs will only be made when they believe that a buy-back of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors, nor to the best of the knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any close associates of any of the Directors has any present intention, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. None of the core connected persons of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has undertaken not to sell any of Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make buy-back of Shares.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

5. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of Bermuda, and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum of association of the Company and the Bye-laws.

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares by the Company, a Shareholders' proportionate interests 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, depending on the level of increase of shareholders' interests, 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 as a result of a buy-back of Shares by the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Bliss Chance Global Limited held or beneficially owned approximately 57.43% of the issued share capital of the Company and is a controlling shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to buy back Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Shares held or beneficially owned by Bliss Chance Global Limited will increase from approximately 57.43% to approximately 63.81% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors are not aware of any such consequences which would arise under the Takeover Code as a consequence of any exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate. In the event that any exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate would, to the knowledge of the Directors, have such a consequence, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would trigger a mandatory offer obligation for any shareholder or group of shareholders under Rule 26 of the Takeover Code.

7. SOURCE OF FUNDS

The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda to buy back its Shares. Buy-backs will be funded entirely from the funds legally available for that purpose. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share buy-back may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. It is envisaged that the funds required for any buy-back would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020, the Directors consider that there may be a material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed share buy-backs were to be carried out in full during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors propose that no buy-back would be made in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

No buy-back of Shares has been made by the Company on the Stock Exchange or otherwise in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

9. SHARE PRICES
