ELECTIONS AS TO MEANS OF RECEIPT AND LANGUAGE OF

CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS

The Company is making arrangements for Shareholders to elect to receive Corporate Communications (i) in electronic form on the Company's website at http://www.tanchong.com(where they will continue to be published in both English and Chinese) or in printed form and (ii) if Shareholders elect to receive Corporate Communications in printed form, to elect to receive them in the English language, in the Chinese language or in both languages. The Company is doing this with a view to increasing efficiency, saving costs and protecting the environment.

PROPOSED ARRANGEMENTS

In accordance with Rules 2.07A and 2.07B of the Listing Rules, the following arrangements will be made by the Company:

1. The Company will send a letter to its Shareholders on 26 February 2020 (the ''First Letter'') together with a reply form with a mailing label attached for posting within Hong Kong (the ''Reply Form''). The First Letter and the Reply Form will be in English and Chinese. The Reply Form will enable Shareholders (i) to elect to receive the Company's future Corporate Communications by electronic means on the Company's website at http://www.tanchong.comor in printed form and (ii) if they elect to receive future Communications in printed form, to elect to receive them in the English language only, in the Chinese language only or in both languages. Corporate Communications will continue to be published on the Company's website in both languages.
   The First Letter explains that, if the Company does not receive from a Shareholder a duly completed and signed Reply Form (or another response from a Shareholder indicating that the Shareholder objects to receiving corporate communications in electronic form on the Company's website) on or before 25 March 2020, the Shareholder will be deemed, until the Shareholder informs the Company otherwise by reasonable notice in writing at the offices of the Hong Kong Share Registrar, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong or by email at [e-mail], to have elected to receive all future Corporate Communications in electronic form on the Company's website instead of receiving them in printed form.
2. If a Shareholder has elected in a Reply Form to receive Corporate Communications in printed form, the Company will send Corporate Communications to the Shareholder in the language or languages selected by the Shareholder unless and until the Shareholder notifies the Hong Kong Share Registrar in writing (at the above address) or by email to [e-mail] the Shareholder wishes to receive Corporate Communications in a different language (or, as the case may be, in both languages) or by electronic means on the Company's website.

1. If a Shareholder has elected in a Reply Form to receive Corporate Communications by electronic means on the Company's website, the Company will notify the Shareholder by e-mail (at the e-mail address provided in the Reply Form) when each Corporate Communication is published on the Company's website. If a Shareholder does not provide an e-mail address or is deemed (because the Shareholder has not sent a Reply Form) to have elected to receive Corporate Communications by electronic means on the Company's website, the Company will notify the Shareholder by post when each Corporate Communication is published on the Company's website. This notification will be sent to the address of the Shareholder which appears in the Company's register of members maintained by the Hong Kong Share Registrar.
2. When each Corporate Communication is sent by the Company in printed form to a Shareholder in accordance with the arrangements described in paragraph 2 above, a letter (the ''Second Letter'') and a change request form (the ''Change Request Form'') with a mailing label attached for posting within Hong Kong will be attached to or printed in the relevant Corporate Communication. The Second Letter and Change Request Form will be in English and Chinese. By completing and returning the Change Request Form to the Hong Kong Share Registrar, the Shareholder may elect (i) to receive future Corporate Communications in printed form instead of in electronic form on the Company's website (or in electronic form on the Company's website instead of in printed form) or (ii) to change the language in which the Shareholder receives Corporate Communications in printed form.
3. Shareholders may also at any time by reasonable notice in writing to the Company (sent to the Company's Hong Kong Share Registrar at the above address or by email to [e-mail]) elect (i) to receive future Corporate Communications in printed form instead of in electronic form on the Company's website (or in electronic form on the Company's website instead of in printed form) or (ii) to change the language in which they receive Corporate Communications in printed form. If any Shareholder who has elected (or is deemed to have elected) to receive Corporate Communications in electronic form on the Company's website for any reason has difficulty in obtaining access to Corporate Communications on the Company's website, the Company will upon request by the Shareholder send Corporate Communications to the Shareholder in printed form free of charge.
4. All Corporate Communications will continue to be available on the Company's website athttp://www.tanchong.comin both English and Chinese and in accessible format. Soft copies in both languages of all Corporate Communications will also be filed with the Stock Exchange on the same day as that on which they are made available to Shareholders (or on such other day as may be required by the Stock Exchange or in order to comply with to the Listing Rules) and will be available on the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk.
