APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE

BUY-BACK MANDATE

This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for approving the Buy-back Mandate. This explanatory statement contains all information required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules which is set out as follows:

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy-back Shares on the market.

The Company is empowered by its Articles of Association to buy back its Shares. In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association and applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors may not repurchase the Shares 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. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that payment for a share buy-back may only be made out of profits, share premium account or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose or subject to the Cayman Companies Law, out of capital of the Company. The amount of premium payable on buy-back of Shares may only be paid out of either or both of the profits or the share premium account of the Company or subject to the Cayman Companies Law, out of capital of the Company.

As compared with the financial position of the Company as disclosed in the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Directors consider that there would not be any material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed buy-back were to be carried out in full during the proposed buy-back period. In the circumstances, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE

BUY-BACK MANDATE

DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined under the Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

No core connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him to the Company in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

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

EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a buy-back of Shares by the Company pursuant to the 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 purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Lin Zhong, Mr. Lin Feng and Mr. Lin Wei, acting in a consensual manner, are entitled to exercise the voting rights of approximately 56.43% of the issued share capital of the Company through CIFI Holdings (Group) Co. Ltd. and other investment holding companies controlled by them, and together they constitute a group of controlling shareholders of the Company (the "Controlling Shareholders Group"). Based on such shareholdings and assuming that there is no change in the number of the issued Shares after the Latest Practicable Date, in the event that the Directors will exercise in full the Buy-back Mandate if so approved at the Annual General Meeting, the interest in the Company of the Controlling Shareholders Group would be increased to approximately 62.71% of the issued Shares and such increase will not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from conducting a repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
