PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

The health of our Shareholders, staff and stakeholders is of paramount importance to us. In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong government at: www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html), the Company will implement necessary precautionary measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders, Directors, proxies and other attendees from the risk of infection, including but not limited to:

  1. Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every shareholder, proxy or other attendee at each entrance of the meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius or above may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue;
  2. The Company requires each attendee to wear a surgical face mask throughout the meeting and inside the meeting venue, and to maintain a safe distance between seats;
  3. No refreshment will be served, and there will be no corporate gift.

In addition, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. Any Shareholder may appoint the chairman of the AGM as his/her/its proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the AGM instead of attending the AGM in person, by completing and return the proxy form attached to this document.

As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, the Company will closely monitor the situation and reserves the right to take further measures as and when appropriate in order to minimise the risk to the Shareholders, Directors, proxies and other attendees attending the AGM and to comply with the requirements and/or recommendations of any government agency from time to time.

If any Shareholder chooses not to attend the meeting in person but has any question about any resolution or about the Company, or has any matter for communication with the board of directors of the Company, he/she/it is welcome to send such question or matter in writing to our principal place of business in Hong Kong or to our email at ir@meitu.com.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of nine Directors, Mr. CAI Wensheng, Mr. WU Zeyuan, Dr. GUO Yihong, Dr. LEE Kai-fu, Mr. CHEN Jiarong, Mr. ZHOU Hao, Mr. LAI Xiaoling, Mr. ZHANG Ming and Ms. KUI Yingchun.

Pursuant to Article 84 of the Articles of Association, Mr. WU Zeyuan, Mr. LAI Xiaoling and Mr. ZHANG Ming will retire by rotation at the AGM. Mr. ZHANG Ming will not offer himself for re-election as Director at the AGM in order to devote more time to focus on his other business commitments, while Mr. WU Zeyuan and Mr. LAI Xiaoling, being eligible, will offer themselves for re- election.

The Nomination Committee had assessed and reviewed the annual written confirmation of independence of each of the independent non-executive Directors, and based on the independence criteria set out in rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, each of the independent non-executive Directors, including Mr. LAI Xiaoling and Mr. ZHANG Ming, remain independent. The Nomination Committee had considered the perspectives, skills, experience and diversity of the above retiring directors and nominated the above retiring Directors (except for Mr. ZHANG Ming who will not offer himself for re-election at the AGM) to the Board for it to propose to the Shareholders for re-election at the AGM.

Accordingly, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed that Mr. WU Zeyuan and Mr. LAI Xiaoling shall stand for re-election as Directors at the AGM.

Brief biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

If any Shareholder wishes to nominate candidate(s) for election as Director(s) at the AGM in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws, the period for lodging a written notice for such nomination(s) is between April 28, 2021 and May 21, 2021. Shareholders may refer to the "Procedures for Shareholders to Propose a Person for Election as a Director of the Company" adopted by the Company pursuant to a resolution passed at the meeting of the Board held on November 20, 2016 and published on the website of the Company (www.meitu.com) for further details.

3. RE-APPOINTMENT OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS AS THE AUDITOR OF THE COMPANY

The Board proposes to re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers as the auditor of the Company to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting. A resolution will also be proposed to authorize the Board to fix the auditor's remuneration. PricewaterhouseCoopers has indicated its willingness to be re-appointed as the Company's auditor for the said period.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. SHARE ISSUE MANDATE

On June 3, 2020, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders to give a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares. Such general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew such general mandate at the AGM. An ordinary resolution item 5 will be proposed at the AGM to grant a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and otherwise deal with additional Shares up to a limit equal to 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the ordinary resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 4,351,798,565 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing this resolution, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate as at the date of passing the ordinary resolution item 5 approving the Share Issue Mandate will be 870,359,713 Shares, representing not more than 20% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing the resolutions.

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution item 7 will also be proposed to approve the extension of the Share Issue Mandate by adding to the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued by the Directors pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate by the number of Shares representing such number of Shares bought back under the Share Buy-back Mandate.

5. SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

On June 3, 2020, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders to give a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back its own Shares. Such general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew the Share Buy-back Mandate at the AGM. An ordinary resolution item 6 will be proposed at the AGM to grant the Share Buy-back Mandate to the Directors, which will allow them to cause the Company to buy back Shares of up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the ordinary resolution item 6.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 4,351,798,565 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the ordinary resolution item 6, the maximum number of Shares which may be bought back pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate as at the date of passing the ordinary resolution item 6 will be 435,179,856 Shares, representing not more than 10% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution.

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Share Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the Share Buy-back Mandate.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Share Issue Mandate (including the extended Share Issue Mandate) and the Share Buy-back Mandate, if granted, shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Share Issue Mandate (including the extended Share Issue Mandate) and the Share Buy-back Mandate up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company;

  1. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the laws of the Cayman Islands or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Share Issue Mandate (including the extended Share Issue Mandate) or the Share Buy-back Mandate (as the case may be) by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever occurs first.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).

6. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice convening the AGM, which contains, inter alia, ordinary resolutions to approve the Share Issue Mandate, the Share Buy-back Mandate, the extension of the Share Issue Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors, is set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular.

7. CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS

The register of members will be closed from Friday, May 28, 2021 to Wednesday, June 2, 2021, both dates inclusive, during which period no transfer of share will be effected.

8. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

All the resolutions at the AGM shall be taken by poll in accordance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and Article 66(1) of the Articles of Association, except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution that relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands pursuant to the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Article 66(1) of the Articles of Association, subject to any special rights, privileges or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any class or classes of Shares, at any general meeting every Shareholder present in person (or in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy shall have one vote for each Share registered in his name in the Company's register of members. Where more than one proxy is appointed by a recognized clearing house (or its nominee(s)), each such proxy is under no obligation to cast all his/her votes in the same way.

An announcement on the poll vote results will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution item 6 in respect of the approval of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. EXERCISE OF THE SHARE BUY BACK MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 4,351,798,565 Shares.

Subject to the passing of ordinary resolution item 6, as set out in the Notice of AGM, in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate, and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the AGM, i.e. being 4,351,798,565 Shares, the Directors will be authorized under the Share Buy-back Mandate to buy back up to 435,179,856 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM) during the period up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Share Buy-back Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR BUY BACK OF SHARES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to purchase securities of the Company in the market. Such purchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share and will be made only when the Directors believe that such purchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

The Directors have no present intention to cause the Company to buy back any Shares and they would exercise the power to buy back only in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF BUY BACK

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The law of the Cayman Islands provides that the amount to be repaid in connection with a share buy-back may be paid from the profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buy back or out of capital, if the Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. The Company may not purchase securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

4. IMPACT OF BUY BACK

The Directors consider that there might be a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or gearing position of the Company in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is exercised in full at the prevailing market value. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on its gearing position.

6. UNDERTAKING BY DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make buy backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company, the laws of Hong Kong and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands (being the jurisdiction in which the Company was incorporated).

7. INTENTION OF DIRECTORS AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS TO SELL SHARES

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved, to sell any Shares to the Company.

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

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON

THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

8. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT

If, on the exercise of the power to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share 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 group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in those Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and becomes obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the following substantial Shareholders were interested in 10% or more of the number of issued Shares as recorded in the register required to be kept by the Company, pursuant to section 336 of the SFO:

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. CAI Wensheng was directly or indirectly interested in 1,126,600,000 Shares as disclosed pursuant to the SFO, which represented approximately 25.89% of the voting rights attaching to the issued share capital of the Company. Were the Share Buy- back Mandate to be exercised in full, which is considered to be unlikely in the current circumstances, Mr. CAI Wensheng would (assuming that there is no change in relevant facts and circumstances) hold approximately 28.76% of the voting rights attaching to the issued share capital of the Company. It is considered that, in the absence of any special circumstances, an obligation to make a mandatory offer as referred to above as a result of a share buy-back is unlikely to arise. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any buy- backs pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate. The Directors have no present intention to buy back the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for the concert parties and deemed concert parties to make a mandatory offer.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making any buy back on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange if the result of such buy back would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) of the Company's issued share capital would be publicly held. The Directors do not intend to buy back Shares to the extent that, after the consummation of any such buy back, less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) of the Company's issued share capital would be publicly held.

9. BUY BACK OF SHARES 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.
