PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  1. Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue.
  2. Attendees must wear surgical face masks inside the AGM venue at all times, and maintain a safe distance between seats.
  3. No refreshments will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.

To the extent permitted under the laws of Hong Kong, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and in line with recent guidelines for prevention and control of COVID-19, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by submitting proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM instead of attending the AGM in person.

The proxy form for the AGM is enclosed with this circular. Alternatively, the proxy form can be downloaded from the "Investor Relations - Information Disclosure" section of the Company's website at www.binhaiinv.com. If you are not a registered Shareholder (if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks, brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the proposals for the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate, the increase in the authorised share capital and the re-election of the retiring Directors, and to seek your approval at the AGM in connection with, inter alia, such matters.

Letter from the board

ISSUE MANDATE

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 15 May 2020, the Shareholders passed an ordinary resolution to give a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with the Shares. Such general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew such general mandate at the AGM.

The Issue Mandate to issue Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of Shares in issue at the date of the relevant resolution will, if granted, remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by laws or regulations of Bermuda or the Bye-laws to be held; and (iii) the date on which the authority set out in the resolution approving the Issue Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

On the basis of 1,352,025,133 Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, if the Issue Mandate is exercised in full, it will result in the Directors being authorized to issue, allot and deal with a maximum of 270,405,026 Shares. After deducting 27,040,503 Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all the share options granted under the share option scheme adopted by the Company on 13 January 2021 up to the Latest Practicable Date, any issue of new Shares exceeding 120,934,364 Shares under the Issue Mandate will be subject to the passing of the resolution for approving the proposed increase in the authorised share capital of the Company at the AGM.

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate, and to authorize the extension of the Issue Mandate by the number of Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, details of which are set out in ordinary resolutions nos. 5(A) and 5(C) respectively in the notice of AGM.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

Also at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 15 May 2020, the Shareholders passed an ordinary resolution to give a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase its own Shares. Such general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew such general mandate at the AGM.

- 6 -

Letter from the board

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate, details of which are set out in ordinary resolution no.5(B) in the notice of AGM. The Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate is limited to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules, giving certain information regarding the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$750,000,000 divided into 1,500,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each, 170,000,000 convertible non-voting preference shares of HK$1.00 each ("Convertible Preference Shares") and 8,600,000 redeemable non-voting preference shares of HK$50.00 each ("Redeemable Preference Shares"). Among 1,500,000,000 Shares in the authorised share capital, 1,352,025,133 Shares had been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid.

In order to provide the Company with greater flexibility to issue new Shares for, including but not limited to, fund raising and exercise of share options in the future as and when appropriate, the Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$750,000,000 (divided into 1,500,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each, 170,000,000 Convertible Preference Shares of HK$1.00 each and 8,600,000 Redeemable Preference Shares of HK$50.00 each) to HK$828,000,000 (divided into 2,280,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each, 170,000,000 Convertible Preference Shares of HK$1.00 each and 8,600,000 Redeemable Preference Shares of HK$50.00 each) by the creation of an additional 780,000,000 new Shares.

With regard to the proposed increase in the authorised share capital of the Company, the Board has no present intention to issue any part of the increased authorised share capital of the Company.

An ordinary resolution to approve the proposed increase in the authorised share capital of the Company will be proposed to the Shareholders for approval at the AGM, details of which are set out in ordinary resolution no. 5(D) in the notice of AGM.

RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of nine Directors, namely, Mr. Wang Zhiyong, Mr. Zuo Zhi Min, Mr. Gao Liang, Mr. Wang Gang, Mr. Shen Hong Liang, Mr. Yu Ke Xiang, Mr. Ip Shing Hing, J.P. ("Mr. Ip"), Mr. Lau Siu Ki, Kevin and Professor Japhet Sebastian Law.

- 7 -

Letter from the board

In accordance with the Bye-laws, Mr. Gao Liang, Mr. Yu Ke Xiang and Mr. Ip, who have been longest in office since their last re-election, will retire by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

The nomination committee of the Company nominated Mr. Ip to the Board for it to propose to the Shareholders for re-election at the AGM. The Board proposed that Mr. Ip be re-elected as an independent non-executive Director at the AGM. Pursuant to code provision A.4.3 of the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report set out in Appendix 14 of the Listing Rules, as Mr. Ip has served as an independent non- executive Director for more than 9 years, his re-election will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders.

The nomination committee of the Company and the Board have reviewed the annual written confirmation of independence of Mr. Ip and assessed his independence based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. He does not have any relationship with any Directors, chief executive and senior management of the Company, substantial Shareholders or controlling Shareholders. The nomination committee of the Company and the Board are also not aware of any circumstance that might influence Mr. Ip in exercising independent judgment, and are satisfied that he has the required character, integrity, independence and experience to fulfill the role of an independent non-executive director. On this basis, Mr. Ip is considered independent.

Mr. Ip has extensive professional experience in the legal fields. He was identified as a suitable candidate to join an independent committee of the Company in the transition period when the Group was undergoing restructuring for resumption of trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange, and was subsequently nominated and appointed as an independent non-executive Director in 2009 when the Shares resumed trading on the Stock Exchange. As an independent non-executive Director with in-depth understanding of the Group's operations and business, Mr. Ip has expressed objective views and given independent guidance to the Company over the years. He contributes to the diversity of the Board by bringing his professional skills, knowledge and valuable experience in the areas of legal fields to the Board.

Based on the above, the Board considers that the re-election of Mr. Ip as an independent non-executive Director is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and that he should be re-elected.

Brief biographical details of the above retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Letter from the board

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice convening the AGM, which contains, inter alia, ordinary resolutions to approve the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate, the increase in the authorised share capital and the re-election of retiring Directors, is set out on pages 19 to 24 of this circular.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 11 May 2021 to Friday, 14 May 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the AGM, all completed transfer documents, accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Hong Kong Registrars Limited of Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 10 May 2021.

VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of 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. The chairman of the meeting will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM pursuant to Bye-law 66 and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

A proxy form for use at the AGM is enclosed herein. Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Registrars Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM, or any adjourned meeting, should you so wish.

Appendix I

Explanatory Statement

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

  1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

    1. Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 1,352,025,133 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, could result in up to 135,202,513 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company;
    2. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable laws of Bermuda to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.
  2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

  3. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. 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 earnings per Share.
  4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

  5. In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Bye-laws of the Company and the applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda. Bermuda laws provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either (i) the capital paid up on the relevant shares or (ii) the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium of the Company. The Company may not purchase 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.

- 11 -

Appendix I

Explanatory Statement

4. GENERAL

There might be 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 of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on its gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association and the Bye-laws of the Company and the applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda.

None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, to sell Shares to the Company.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to do so.

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase in the interest in the Company, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Notes:

  1. By virtue of the SFO, Tianjin TEDA Investment Holding Co. Ltd. is deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by TEDA Hong Kong Property Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tianjin TEDA Investment Holding Co. Ltd.
  2. By virtue of the SFO, China Petrochemical Corporation is deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by Great Wall Energy Investment (Hong Kong) Limited, an indirect subsidiary of China Petrochemical Corporation.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the percentage shareholdings of the above Shareholders would be increased to approximate percentages shown in the last column above. Accordingly, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, an obligation to make a mandatory general offer by Tianjin TEDA Investment Holding Co. Ltd. together with parties acting in concert with it, and China Petrochemical Corporation together with parties acting in concert with it, might arise under the Takeovers Code respectively if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

- 13 -

Appendix I

Explanatory Statement

Save as mentioned above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate and have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as to result in triggering the obligations under the Takeovers Code. In any event, the Company will not repurchase Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
