Dear Sir or Madam,

  1. GENERAL MANDATES FOR REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY OF ITS OWN SHARES AND FOR ISSUE OF SHARES,
    1. RE-ELECTIONOF RETIRING DIRECTORS,

AND

  1. NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in connection with the convening of

the AGM and explanation in connection with the matters to be dealt with at the AGM.

In accordance with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules and the Articles of Association, each of the resolutions set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting shall be voted on by poll at the AGM. These include resolutions to (i) grant to the Directors the Share Repurchase Mandate and the Share Issue Mandate to repurchase and issue Shares; (ii) extend the Share Issue Mandate to issue the number of Shares repurchased; and (iii) re-elect the retiring Directors.

4

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In compliance with the Listing Rules, this circular provides all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make informed decisions on whether to vote for or against the resolutions approving the granting to the Directors of the Share Repurchase Mandate and the Share Issue Mandate to repurchase and issue Shares and the re-election of the retiring Directors.

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 May 2020, the Directors were granted by approval of Shareholders a general mandate to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange.

The existing mandate will expire at the conclusion of the AGM. At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase issued Shares subject to the criteria set out in this circular. In particular, Shareholders should note that the maximum number of Shares that may be repurchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate will be such number which represents 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution subject to the Listing Rules. The Share Repurchase Mandate will end at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless it is renewed at such meeting or until revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 10,686,000 Shares, of which approximately 54.30% are held by the "public" (as the term is defined in the Listing Rules) and form part of the public float of the Company. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the resolution approving the Share Repurchase Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate on the date of passing the resolution approving the Share Repurchase Mandate will be 1,068,600 Shares.

In the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised by the Company in full, and the shareholding of the substantial shareholders (as the term is defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company remain the same, then the public float of the Company will be reduced to approximately 49.23% of the issued share capital of the Company.

While the Directors have no present intention to initiate a share repurchase program, the flexibility granted by the Share Repurchase Mandate will enable the Company to repurchase Shares if Shares continue to trade at a significant discount to their underlying value.

An explanatory statement containing all the information necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the Share Repurchase Mandate as required by the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular. Save as disclosed above, the Company did not obtain any other general mandate to repurchase Shares in the past 12 months.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 May 2020, the Directors were granted by approval of Shareholders a general mandate to allot and issue Shares.

The existing mandate will expire at the conclusion of the AGM. At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares representing up to 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 10,686,000 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the resolution approving the Share Issue Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate on the date of passing the resolution approving the Share Issue Mandate will be 2,137,200 Shares.

The purpose of the general mandate is to ensure the Directors have the flexibility to issue additional Shares should the need ever arise, or if there is a suitable opportunity to broaden the Company's capital base and strengthen its capital position to effectively support business development initiatives.

The Directors acknowledge the concern of minority Shareholders with respect to the possible dilution of their shareholding interest resulting from the exercise of the Share Issue Mandate, and reaffirmed its commitment to only use the mandate in the interest of all Shareholders. Should the Board consider an issuance of Shares, the Board will clearly communicate the rationale behind that decision and ensure it is fair and reasonable, and in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors have no present intention to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate. Save as disclosed above, the Company did not obtain any other general mandate or special mandate to issue securities in the past 12 months.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company may not make a new issue of Shares or announce a proposed new issue of Shares for a period of 30 days after any purchase by it of Shares without prior approval of the Stock Exchange. The Share Issue Mandate may only continue in force during the period ending on the earlier of the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

4. EXTENSION OF SHARE ISSUE MANDATE

Conditional upon the passing of resolutions to grant the Share Issue Mandate and the Share Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the Share Issue Mandate by the addition to the aggregate number of issued Shares which may be allotted or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted by the Directors pursuant to such general mandate of an amount representing the aggregate number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, provided that such extended amount shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate of the total number of issued Shares in issue on the date of passing the resolution for the Share Issue Mandate.

5. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to articles 98(b) and 98(c) of the Articles, Dr. HUA Min and Mr. YICK Wing Fat Simon shall retire by rotation at the AGM, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Biographical details of each of Dr. HUA Min and Mr. YICK Wing Fat Simon (collectively, the "Retiring Directors") proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The re-election of Directors has been reviewed by the Nomination Committee which made the recommendation to the Board that the re-election be proposed for Shareholders' approval at the AGM.

Assessment of independence of INEDs

The Nomination Committee has also assessed the independence of all INEDs, in particular, Dr. HUA Min, Mr. ONG Ka Thai and Mr. YICK Wing Fat Simon who have served the Board for more than 9 years. All the INEDs satisfy the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

The Nomination Committee also believes that each of the INEDs has demonstrated their ability to provide an independent view on the Company's matters notwithstanding the length of their service on the Board. None of these INEDs are involved in the daily management of the Company nor are there any relationships or circumstances which would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment and ability to provide independent, balanced and objective view to the affairs of the Company. Each of the INEDs has provided an annual written confirmation of their independence to the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

7. VOTING BY POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at the general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands.

The results of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolutions passed at the AGM and the poll results will be published on the website of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (www . hkexnews . hk) and the website of the Company (http://shanghaigrowth.etnet.com.hk).

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration as to whether or not to vote for or against of the Share Repurchase Mandate. References in this explanatory statement to "Shares" mean fully paid up ordinary shares of US$0.10 each in the capital of the Company.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at 30 March 2021 (being the Latest Practicable Date prior to the printing of this document), the issued share capital of the Company comprised 10,686,000 Shares in the Company. Subject to the passing of the Ordinary Resolution 4 as set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting on pages 15 to 18 and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorized to effect the repurchase of up to 1,068,600 Shares (being 10% of the Shares in issue) 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 law to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Share Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in an general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

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

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Share Repurchase Mandate would be funded from the available cash flow and/or working capital facilities of the Company. The funds employed by the Company in connection with a repurchase of Shares would be those legally available for such purpose under the Company's M&A and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 contained in the 2020 Annual Report) in the event that the mandate to repurchase Shares were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the 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 at the time of the relevant repurchases unless the Directors determined that such repurchases were, taking into account all relevant factors, in the best interests of the Company.

10

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

4. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

To the best of the Directors' knowledge after having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their close associates (as defined in Rule 1.01 of the Listing Rules) currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Share Repurchase Mandate if such Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

No core connected persons (as defined in Rule 1.01 the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor have they undertaken not to do so in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the regulations set out in the M&A.

6. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase 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. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, as far as the Directors were aware, the following entities or persons had interests or short positions in Shares or underlying Shares of the Company which were disclosed to the Company pursuant to provisions of Divisions 2 and 3 of Part XV of the SFO and were entered in the register required to be kept by the Company under section 336 of the SFO. The effect of the exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate on their respective shareholding are also shown below:
