ANNOUNCEMENT

APPROVAL OF THE QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

References are made to the announcement dated 5 February 2021 regarding the proposed appointment of directors of the Board and shareholder representative supervisor and external supervisors of the board of supervisors (the "Announcement"), the circular dated 5 February 2021 (the "Circular") and the poll results announcement of the 2021 first extraordinary general meeting dated 24 February 2021 of Harbin Bank Co., Ltd. (the "Bank") in relation to, among others, the appointment of Mr. Deng Xinquan as an executive director of the Eighth Session of the Board of the Bank. Please refer to the Announcement and the Circular for biographical details of Mr. Deng Xinquan.

APPROVAL OF THE QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors of the Bank (the "Board") hereby announces that the Bank received the Approval of Heilongjiang Regulatory Bureau of CBIRC in relation to the Qualification of Deng Xinquan (Hei Yin Bao Jian Fu [2021] No. 65) today, in which the qualification of Mr. Deng Xinquan as director of the Bank was approved, with effect from 10 March 2021.

Since the qualification of Mr. Jin Qinglu is still subject to the approval of the banking and insurance regulatory authority under the State Council, the number of independent non-executive directors of the Eighth Session of the Board temporarily does not represent one-third of the Board before the approval is obtained. The Bank expects that the approval of the banking and insurance regulatory authority under the State Council on the qualification of Mr. Jin Qinglu will be obtained recently, so that the requirements of Rule 3.10A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited can be satisfied by then.

By order of the Board Harbin Bank Co., Ltd.

Vice Chairman and Company Secretary
