(the "Company") dated 18 March 2021; (ii) the notice of annual general meeting (the "Notice of AGM") and the circular containing the Notice of AGM (the "AGM Circular") of the Company both dated 20 April 2021 in relation to the annual general meeting of the Company to be held on Thursday, 20 May 2021 (the "AGM"); and (iii) the notice of the extraordinary general meeting (the "Notice of EGM") and the circular containing the Notice of EGM (the "EGM Circular") of the Company both dated 23 April 2021 in relation to the extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held on Wednesday, 9 June 2021 (the "EGM").

It was provided in the Annual Results Announcement, the Notice of AGM and the AGM Circular that the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 20 April 2021 to Thursday, 20 May 2021 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of H shares will be registered (the "AGM Book Closure Period").

The EGM Book Closure Period and the AGM Book Closure Period were determined based on article 48 of the articles of association of the Company, which provides that no changes resulting from share transfers may be made to the register of shareholders within 30 days prior to a shareholders' general meeting.

As the Notice of EGM was published during the AGM Book Closure Period, the EGM Last Registration Date falls within the AGM Book Closure Period and the AGM Book Closure Period ends during the EGM Book Closure Period. In order to meet the requirements of the articles of association of the Company and to align the book closure periods for both the EGM and the AGM, the Company would like to clarify that, the paragraphs in relation to the EGM Book Closure Period, being page 18 of the EGM Circular and note (2) of the Notice of EGM, shall be amended as follows:

"In order to determine the holders of H Shares who will be entitled to attend the EGM, the register of members of the Company have been closed since Tuesday, 20 April 2021 (due to the annual general meeting of the Company to be convened on 20 May 2021) to Wednesday, 9 June 2021 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of H Shares will be registered. In order for the holders of H Shares to qualify for attending the EGM, all completed share transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates must have been lodged with the Company's H Share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, and in any case no later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 19 April 2021."

Save as stated above, all other information in the Notice of EGM and the EGM Circular remains unchanged. This clarification announcement is supplemental to and should be read in conjunction with the Notice of EGM and the EGM Circular.
