PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the current Novel Coronavirus ("COVID-19") epidemic situation and the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulations (the "Regulations"), the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the Annual General Meeting to safeguard the health and safety of every attendee at the AGM:

  1. Voting by proxy
    For the health and safety of the Shareholders, the Company strongly recommends Shareholders to exercise their voting rights by appointing the Chairman of the AGM as their proxy instead of attending the AGM in person. Shareholders who choose to do so should ensure the proxy instructions reach our share registrar not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). The proxy form is attached to the AGM Circular for Shareholders who opt to receive physical circulars or can be downloaded from the "INVESTOR RELATIONS" section of the Company's website at http://www.fsanthracite.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 or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of a proxy.
  2. Seating at the meeting will be arranged so as to comply with relevant Regulations. As a result, there will be limited seating capacity. The Company may limit the number of attendees at the AGM for compliance with such Regulations.
  3. 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 will not be admitted to the meeting and will be requested to leave the AGM venue.
  4. All Shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to complete and submit at the entrance of the AGM venue a health declaration form before admission to the meeting venue.
  5. Every attendee will be required to wear surgical face masks at the meeting venue throughout the AGM. Please note that no face masks will be provided at the AGM venue and attendees should bring and wear their own face masks.
  6. Any person who has recently travelled outside Hong Kong and is subject to any quarantine requirements ("Recent Traveler"), or has had close contact with any person under quarantine or with any Recent Traveler shall not attend the AGM.
  7. No refreshments or corporate gifts will be provided.

To the extent permitted under law, 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.

The Company will closely monitor the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that the AGM will be conducted in compliance with the laws, regulations and measures introduced by the Hong Kong Government from time to time. Where necessary, the Company may implement further changes and precautionary measures and may issue further announcement on such measures as appropriate.

Subject to the passing of the resolution set out in item 4(B) of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and assuming that the total number of issued Share of the Company remains unchanged after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, i.e. being 1,380,545,800 Shares, the Directors would be authorised under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 138,054,580 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM.

2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE

SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, 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.

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. LI Feilie, the controlling Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules), was interested and deemed to be interested in an aggregate of 739,029,650 Shares representing approximately 53.53% of the total issued Shares. Such 739,029,650 Shares comprised of 15,000,000 Shares (representing approximately 1.09% of the total issued Shares) held by himself directly as beneficial owner, 604,029,650 Shares (representing approximately 43.75% of the total issued Shares) held by Feishang Group Limited and 120,000,000 Shares (representing approximately 8.69% of the total issued Shares) held by China Natural Resources, Inc., a controlled corporation of which 62.87% is held by Feishang Group Limited. Feishang Group Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Laitan Investments Limited, which is in turn wholly owned by Mr. LI Feilie. Mr. LI Zongyang, the son of Mr. LI Feilie, is interested and deemed to be interested in an aggregate of 182,740,000 Shares representing approximately 13.23% of the total issued Shares. Such 182,740,000 Shares comprised of 125,000,000 Shares (representing approximately 9.05% of the total issued Shares) held by himself, and 57,740,000 Shares (representing approximately 4.18% of the total issued Shares) held by Field Rich (China) Limited, which is wholly owned by Mr. LI Zongyang. Mr. LI Zongyang is deemed to be a party acting in concert with Mr. LI Feilie.

In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the aggregate shareholding of Mr. LI Feilie and his party acting in concert would be increased to approximately 74.18% of the issued Shares capital of the Company.

The Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who will become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of the repurchase of Shares.

The Directors have no present intention of exercising the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in a mandatory offer or the number of Shares held by the public will fall below the relevant minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange.

8. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

If more than one proxy is appointed, the number of shares in respect of which each such proxy so appointed must be specified in the relevant form of proxy. Every Shareholder present in person or by proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by him.

In order to be valid, the form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a certified copy of that power of attorney or authority, must be deposited at the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the holding of the meeting (i.e. not later than 2:30 pm on Saturday, 29 May 2021) or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting in person at the meeting and, in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked if the Shareholder votes in person at the AGM.
