APPENDIX I INFORMATION ON RETIRING DIRECTORS

Mr. YAN Fashan, aged 69, has been an independent non-executive Director since November 2014. Mr. YAN is also a chairman of the Remuneration Committee and a member of the Nomination Committee. He is currently a professor in the school of economics at Fudan University and an independent director of Pengqi Technology Development Co., Ltd.*, whose shares are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 600614). He obtained a Master's degree in economics from Fudan University in 1981 and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in economics from Fudan University in June 1998.

There is a service contract between the Company and Mr. LIU and Mr. YAN respectively for a term of three years, subject to retirement by rotation and re-election at the annual general meeting of the Company in accordance with the Bye-laws. Each of Mr. LIU and Mr. YAN is entitled to an annual director's fee of HK$250,000, which is determined by the Remuneration Committee with reference to their duties and contribution, the Group's performance and prevailing market contribution.

The nomination committee under the Board has reviewed the annual confirmations of independence provided by Mr. LIU Jipeng and Mr. YAN Fashan pursuant to the Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, and confirmed that they remained independent. The Nomination Committee has made reference to the board diversity policy of the Company and reviewed their respective skills, knowledge and experience. It considered that each of them has extensive experience and would continue to bring in valuable independent views and opinions to the Board. Therefore, the Nomination Committee has recommended them to the Board to stand for re-election at the AGM pursuant to the requirements of the Bye-laws.

The Nomination Committee and the Board believe that the re-election of Messrs. LIU Guosheng, LIU Jipeng and YAN Fashan at the AGM are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and therefore recommend the Shareholders to re-elect them as Directors.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration of the Buy-back Mandate proposed to be approved at the AGM.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 16,142,653,060 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate at the AGM and assuming that there are no changes in the number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy-back a maximum of 1,614,265,306 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM.

2. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/ or earnings per Share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

The Company is empowered by the Bye-laws to buy-back its Shares. Buy-backs must be funded entirely from the funds legally available for such purpose. The laws of Bermuda provide that the buy-back of Shares may only be paid out of the capital paid up on the bought-back Shares, out of the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for payment of dividend or distribution, or out of the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose. Any premium payable on the buy- back over the par value of the Shares to be bought-back must be paid out of either the funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for payment of dividend or distribution, or out of the share premium account of the Company. Such buy-back may not be made if, on the date on which the buy-back is to be effected, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the purchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the Company's 2020 annual report, in the event that the Buy- back Mandate is to be exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to buy-back Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws of Bermuda, any provisions of the Bye-laws, and the Takeovers Codes and use their best endeavours to procure that the Company shall so comply.

6. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Buy-back Mandate if the Buy- back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has he/she/ it undertaken to the Company not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 10 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE

7. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODES

If, on the exercise of the power to buy-back 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 Codes. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of the Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate his/her/their control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Codes.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Oceanwide Holdings International beneficially owned 11,346,221,178 Shares, representing approximately 70.28% of the issued share capital of the Company. Oceanwide Finance beneficially owned 751,500,000 Shares representing approximately 4.66% of the issued share capital of the Company. Mr. LU Zhiqiang ("Mr. LU") and Ms. HUANG Qiongzi ("Ms. HUANG"), the spouse of Mr. LU, were deemed to be interested in an aggregate of 12,097,721,178 Shares held by Oceanwide Holdings International and Oceanwide Finance, which are indirect wholly owned by Oceanwide Holdings, the ultimate controlling shareholder of which is Mr. LU.

In the event that the Buy-back Mandate is to be exercised in full and on the basis that the present shareholdings remain unchanged, the aggregate interests of Mr. LU and Ms. HUANG in the Shares would be increased from approximately 74.94% to approximately 83.26%. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Codes but would not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes. The number of Shares in public hands would accordingly be reduced to less than 25%. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to buy-back Shares to the extent that the number of Shares in public hands would accordingly be reduced to below 25%. Therefore, the Directors are currently not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Codes as a result of any buy-back made under the Buy-back Mandate.

8. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not bought-back any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

Notes:

  1. For determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the meeting, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 14 May 2021 to Thursday, 20 May 2021, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof, all transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 13 May 2021.
  2. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and, on a poll, vote at the meeting in his stead. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. To be valid, the form of proxy, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed (or a notarially certified copy thereof), must be deposited at the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong no later than 11:00 a.m. on Monday, 17 May 2021.
  3. Where there are joint registered holders of any Share, any one of such holders may vote, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such Share at the meeting or any adjournment thereof as if he/ she were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such holders were present at the meeting or any adjournment thereof, the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders; for this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members of the Company in respect of such Share.
  4. Taking into account the recent development of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the meeting to protect the attendees from the risk of infection:
    1. compulsory body temperature check will be conducted for all shareholders, proxies and other attendees at the entrance of the venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.5 degrees Celsius will not be admitted to the venue;
    2. all shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to wear surgical mask (please bring your own) before they are permitted to attend, and during their attendance of the meeting; and
    3. no refreshment will be served.

Any person who does not comply with the above precautionary measures or is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine may not be admitted to the venue. The Company reminds shareholders that they may appoint the chairman of the meeting as a proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions, instead of attending the AGM in person.

5. The Chinese translation of this notice is for reference only. In case of any inconsistency, the English version shall prevail.
