APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution approving the granting of the Buy-back Mandate to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 400,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued, allotted or bought back after the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 40,000,000 Shares, which represent 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of the passing of resolution to approve the Buy-back Mandate, during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the Annual General Meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable law or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS

The Directors believe that Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

Buy-backs of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Cayman Companies Law. The Cayman Companies Law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share buy-back may be paid out of either the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the buy-back or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if the Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

IMPACT OF BUY-BACKS

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020, being the date of the latest published audited financial statements of the Company) if the Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors

- 14 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

do not intend to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their respective close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Buy-back Mandate in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he or she or it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Buy-back Mandate is exercised.

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares 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 a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and 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, Yingheng Co., Ltd (which was wholly owned by Ms. Wang Lei as at the Latest Practicable Date) was interested in 161,704,734 Shares, representing approximately 40.43% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Buy-back Mandate in full, the shareholding of Yingheng Co., Ltd (which was wholly owned by Ms. Wang Lei as at the Latest Practicable Date) would be increased to approximately 44.92% of the issued share capital of the Company, based upon her shareholdings as at the Latest Practicable Date. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation on Yingheng Co., Ltd (which was wholly owned by Ms. Wang Lei as at the Latest Practicable Date) to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

Since the Listing Date and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not bought back any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

- 15 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

UNDERTAKING

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