LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among other matters, the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and the Share Issue Mandate and the re-election of Directors.

The notice convening the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 15 to 19 of this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the meeting, you are requested to complete the accompanying proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event by 3:00 p.m. on 8 June 2021 (Hong Kong time), being 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Annual General Meeting. Completion and returning of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting or any adjourned meeting should you so wish.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, a resolution put to the vote of a general meeting shall be decided 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.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the proposals for the grant of the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Share Issue Mandate and the re-election of Directors are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this circular and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other facts not contained in this circular, the omission of which would make any statement herein misleading.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board

Da Ming International Holdings Limited

Zhou Keming

Chairman

APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the granting to the Directors of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was HK$124,519,000 comprising 1,245,190,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions at the Annual General Meeting and assuming that no further Shares are issued and bought back by the Company, the Directors will be authorised to buy back up to 124,519,000 Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

2. REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to buy back the Shares in the market. Such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets or its earnings per Share or both and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and the Articles and all applicable laws. It is envisaged that the funds required for any buy-backs would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

The Share Buy-back Mandate, if exercised in full, may have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the Company's most recent published audited accounts. The Directors, however, do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing level of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective associates currently intends to sell the Shares to the Company under the Share Buy-back mandate in the event that it is granted by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

No core connected persons, as defined in the Listing Rules, have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

12

APPENDIX

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Company has not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

5. UNDERTAKING

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

6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to buy back the Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of such increase, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, Mr. Zhou Keming and Ms. Xu Xia, are the controlling shareholders of the Company through their interest in Ally Good Group Limited and their personal interest, are interested in 793,551,000 Shares, representing approximately 63.73% of the issued share capital 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 shareholding interest of Mr. Zhou Keming and Ms. Xu Xia in the Company would be increased to approximately 70.81% of the issued share capital of the Company. Accordingly, such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to buy back Shares to the extent that the aggregate amount of the share capital of the Company in public hands would be reduced to less than 25%.
