SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION TO

THE PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Peking University Resources (Holdings) Company Limited (the "Company") pursuant to Practice Note 2 of The Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeovers Code").

References are made to (i) the announcement of the Company dated 22 March 2021 (the "Profit Warning Announcement") in relation to a profit warning of the Company (the "Profit Warning") and (ii) the announcements of the Company dated 2 February 2021, 22 February 2021 and 12 March 2021 in relation to the winding-up of the controlling shareholder of the Company (collectively, the "Announcements"). Unless otherwise stated, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements.

The directors of the Company would like to clarify that the Profit Warning constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code and is required to be reported on by the financial advisers and the accountants or auditors in accordance with Rule 10.4 of the Takeovers Code. As the Profit Warning was made pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Part XIVA of the SFO, which require the Company to disclose any inside information as soon as practicable and given the time constraints, the Company has encountered genuine practical difficulties in meeting the requirements of Rule 10.4 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, the Profit Warning does not meet the standard required by Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code.

Under Rule 10.4 of the Takeovers Code and Practice Note 2 of the Takeovers Code, if the Profit Warning is first published in an announcement, it must be repeated in full, together with the reports from the Company's financial adviser and auditors or accountants on the Profit Warning, in the next document to be sent to the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders' Document"). The Profit Warning will be reported on by the Company's financial advisers and auditors or accountants as soon as possible in compliance with the Takeovers Code and such reports will be set out in the next Shareholders' Document.

However, if the annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 which fall within the ambit of Rule 10.9 of the Takeovers Code have been published by the time of release of the next Shareholders' Document and the relevant results together with the notes to the financial statements are included in the next Shareholders' Document, the requirements to report on the Profit Warning under Rule 10.4 of the Takeovers Code will no longer apply.

Save as disclosed in this announcement, all information in the Profit Warning Announcement remains unchanged.

Warnings: Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Profit Warning does not meet the standard required by Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code and has not been reported on in accordance with the Takeovers Code. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution in placing reliance on the Profit Warning in assessing the merits and demerits of any possible general offer for the securities of the Company as referred to in the Announcements.
