SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT CHANGES IN EXPECTED TIMETABLE

Reference is made to the announcement of Qingdao Holdings International Limited (the "Company") dated 17 March 2021 (the "Announcement"). Unless the context requires otherwise, terms defined in the Announcement shall have the same meanings when used herein.

CHANGES IN BOOK CLOSURE PERIODS, DATE OF SGM AND RIGHTS ISSUE RECORD DATE, AND DELAY IN THE DESPATCH OF PROSPECTUS DOCUMENTS

As stated in the Announcement, the SGM is expected to be convened on Friday, 9 April 2021 for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among others, (i) the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) the Specific Mandate; and (iii) the Rights Issue. The register of members of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 1 April 2021 to Friday, 9 April 2021 (both dates inclusive) for determining the identity of the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the SGM.

In connection with the Rights Issue, as stated in the Announcement, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 15 April 2021 to Wednesday, 21 April 2021 (both dates inclusive) for determining the entitlements under the Rights Issue, and the Rights Issue Record Date will be Wednesday, 21 April 2021. The Company will despatch the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders on Thursday, 22 April 2021.

Since more time is needed for the Company to prepare the circular containing further details of, among others, the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Consideration CB and the Rights Issue, the Board has determined that:

(i) the register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 7 April 2021 to

Tuesday, 13 April 2021 (instead of from Thursday, 1 April 2021 to Friday, 9 April 2021) (both days inclusive) for determining the identity of the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the SGM, during which no transfer of Shares will be registered;

  • (ii) the SGM will be convened on Tuesday, 13 April 2021 (instead of Friday, 9 April 2021) for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among others, (i) the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) the Specific Mandate; and (iii) the Rights Issue;

  • (iii) the register of members of the Company will be closed from Monday, 19 April 2021 to Friday, 23 April 2021 (instead of from Thursday, 15 April 2021 to Wednesday, 21 April 2021) (both days inclusive) for determining the entitlements under the Rights Issue, during which no transfer of Shares will be registered;

  • (iv) the Rights Issue Record Date will be Friday, 23 April 2021 (instead of Wednesday, 21 April 2021); and

Note:

(1)All times and dates in this announcement refer to Hong Kong local time and dates unless otherwise specified. Dates stated in this announcement for events in the timetable are indicative only and may be extended or varied. Any changes to the anticipated timetable for the Rights Issue will be announced as appropriate.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that as the Completion is subject to fulfilment of the conditions precedent set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition may or may not proceed. In addition, the Rights Issue is conditional upon, among others, the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional and the Underwriter not having terminated the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set out in the section headed "Rights Issue - Termination of the Underwriting Agreement" in the Announcement).

Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed.

The Shares will be dealt in on an ex-rights basis from Thursday, 15 April 2021. Dealings in the Rights Shares in nil-paid form are expected to take place from Wednesday, 28 April 2021 to Wednesday, 5 May 2021 (both days inclusive). Any Shareholder or other person contemplating transferring, selling or purchasing the Shares and/or Rights Shares in their nil-paid form is advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and/or the nil-paid Rights Shares. Any person who is in any doubt about his/her/its position or any action to be taken is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional adviser(s). Any Shareholder or other person dealing in the Shares or in the nil-paid Rights Shares up to the date on which all the conditions to which the Rights Issue is subject are fulfilled (or waived (as appropriate)) (and the date on which the Underwriter's right of termination under the Underwriting Agreement ceases) will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed.

Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

By order of the Board
