The audited loss before and after taxation of the Disposal Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 was approximately RMB250,348,000 (approximately HK$277,886280) and RMB250,348,000 (approximately HK$277,886280), respectively.

The audited carrying value of the investments in Cayman Company measured at fair value as at

31 December 2019 was approximately HK$2,258,645,000, based on an independent valuation as at 31 December 2019 conducted by an independent valuer engaged by PNM to assist in the determination of fair value of the investments as at 31 December 2019 for financial reporting purpose, the details of which are also disclosed in the Company's previous published financial reports. Such independent valuation was based on scenario analysis, the weighted average valuation results derived from both the discounted cash flow model and the markets approach, and the probability of each scenario.

BASIS OF CONSIDERATION

The consideration for the 2020 Target Shares under the 2020 Agreement was determined based on normal commercial terms and after arm's length negotiations between PNM and the Purchaser with reference to a preliminary valuation of the Disposal Group at approximately RMB4,676,000,000 (22.45% of which is owned by PNM with a value of RMB1,050,000,000), taking into account various factors including (a) the price to sales ratio of listed market comparables, including A-sharelisted People.cn (人民網) and Xinhuanet (新華網) and NASDAQ listed Qutoutiao Inc. (趣頭條), which are all PRC internet companies principally engaged in the provision of contents and whose principal businesses are similar to that of the Disposal Group; (b) the business and financial performance of Yidian Technology in the first half of 2020 which was below expectation and not satisfactory; and (c) the need to strengthen PNM's cash position for other investment opportunities.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is a satellite television operator and, through its subsidiaries, is a leading satellite television operator broadcasting in the PRC as well as worldwide. Apart from satellite television broadcasting, the Group now has a diversified business portfolio covering internet media, outdoor media, animated comics, games, digital technologies, creative cultural, cloud technology services, education, exhibitions and other fields.

PNM (NYSE: FENG) is a leading new media company providing premium content on an integrated Internet platform, including PC and mobile, in China. Having originated from a leading global Chinese language TV network based in Hong Kong, Phoenix TV, PNM enables consumers to access professional news and other quality information and share user-generated content on the Internet through their PCs and mobile devices. PNM's platform includes its PC channel, consisting of ifeng.com website, which comprises interest-based verticals and interactive services; its mobile channel, consisting of mobile news applications, mobile video application, digital reading applications and mobile Internet website; and its operations with the

9

telecom operators that provides mobile value-added services.

The Purchaser has recently communicated with PNM about the arrangement of PNM Second Completion and wished to replace it with new terms. PNM considered various factors, including (i) business and financial performance of Yidian Technology; (ii) the uncertainties involved in any legal action to resolve the matter and the time, cost and management attention that will be incurred; (iii) the financial burden and investment risk faced by PNM if PNM Second Completion cannot be completed timely; (iv) the time required to find new buyers; and

  1. PNM's plan to realize its investment gain in Yidian Technology and recoup the cash invested as soon as possible. Having considered the above factors, in particular that PNM will achieve a substantial gain from its investment in Yidian Technology despite the price per share under the 2020 Agreement is lower than the favorable price per share that PNM obtained under the terms of the Previous SPA, the PNM management considered that the prompt realization of investment in Yidian Technology and recoupment of cash through the 2020 Agreement is in line with PNM's investment strategy in relation to Yidian Technology and in the interest of PNM and its shareholders.

Based on the PNM management analysis above, and taking into account factors such as the independent management of PNM as a listed issuer, the PNM management's first-hand knowledge and deep understanding of the Yidian Technology investment, and that PNM will achieve a substantial gain overall from its investment in Yidian Technology, the Directors consider that the terms of the 2020 Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders taking the Yidian Technology investment as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS

The outstanding shares held by PNM in Cayman Company was previously recognized as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" with fair value of approximately HK$2,256,645,000 as at 31 December 2019 (as at 31 December 2018: approximately HK$2,235,585,000).

Subject to and upon the completion of the Disposal, it is estimated that the Company will recognize an unaudited loss on the disposal (before tax and expenses) of approximately HK$1,087 million for the year ending 31 December 2020, which was calculated with reference to the carrying value of approximately HK$2,257 million. The actual loss as a result of the Disposal to be recorded by the Company is subject to audit and will be assessed after the completion of the Disposal.

After the transfer of the Pledged Shares, the Purchaser shall no longer be liable to repay the PNM Loan of US$9,671,045.96. The estimated value of the Pledged Shares was approximately US$6.8 million. It is estimated that the Company will recognize an unaudited loss of approximately US$2.8 million for the year ending 31 December 2020, which was the difference between PNM Loan and estimated value of the Pledged Shares.

Upon the transfer of Pledged Shares to PNM, the 4,584,209 series D1 preferred shares of Cayman Company held by PNM will be recorded as "financial assets at fair value through profit and loss".

10

INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL

The estimated net proceeds of US$135 million (RMB945 million) (which was calculated based on the 2020 Offshore Target Shares Purchase Price netting off the disposal related taxes and expenses) derived from the Disposal will be held in cash, deposits or short-term investments, subject to the ongoing assessment of PNM's business development and funding requirements from time to time for future allocation of all or part of the proceeds to various potential uses, including but not limited to enhancing the operational capability of PNM's existing business, financing possible investment(s) and/or making dividend payment(s), if any.
