VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

PARTIAL REPURCHASE OF SENIOR NOTES DUE 2024

This is a voluntary announcement made by Central China Real Estate Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group").

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 6 August 2020 and 14 August 2020 in relation to the 7.25% senior notes due August 2024 (the "August 2024 Notes") (ISIN: XS2215180550), the announcements of the Company dated 18 November 2020 and 30 November 2020 in relation to the 7.75% senior notes due May 2024 (the "May 2024 Notes") (ISIN: XS2262030369), as well as the announcements of the Company dated 9 September 2021 and 12 September 2021 (collectively, the "Announcements"). Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcements.

During the period from 16 September 2021 to 20 September 2021, the Company has in the open market repurchased part of the August 2024 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$2,151,000, representing approximately 0.72% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the August 2024 Notes, as well as part of the May 2024 Notes in an aggregate principal amount of US$1,451,000, representing approximately 0.48% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the May 2024 Notes. The Board expects to cancel the senior notes which have been repurchased, which will thereafter cease to be outstanding.

The Board considers that the repurchases of the senior notes will reduce the Company's future financial expenses and lower its financial gearing level, and are therefore in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Company will continue to monitor the market conditions and its financial structure and may further repurchase its senior notes as and when appropriate.

Noteholders and potential investors should note that any purchase of the senior notes from time to time by the Company will be at the Board's sole and absolute discretion. There is no assurance of the timing, amount or price of any purchase of the senior notes or whether the Company will make any further purchase at all. Noteholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in any senior notes of the Company.

By order of the Board
