With the assistance and recommendation from the nomination committee of the Company, the Board has reviewed the structure, size, composition and diversity of the Board from a number of aspects, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and ethnic background, professional qualification, skills, knowledge and length of service and decided to propose the re-election of Mr. Kam, Eddie Shing Cheuk, Mr. Zhang Shulin and Mr. Cheung Man Sang as independent non-executive Directors at the AGM. Having made all necessary and reasonable enquiries, the Board is satisfied that each of Mr. Kam, Eddie Shing Cheuk, Mr. Zhang Shulin and Mr. Cheung Man Sang has no financial, business or family relationships with any other Directors, senior management or substantial or

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

controlling Shareholders of the Company. In addition, the Board has assessed and reviewed their written confirmations of independence based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is satisfied that each of Mr. Kam, Eddie Shing Cheuk, Mr. Zhang Shulin and Mr. Cheung Man Sang remains independent. Given that each of Mr. Kam, Eddie Shing Cheuk, Mr. Zhang Shulin and Mr. Cheung Man Sang does not hold any directorship in more than seven listed companies, the Board believes that they can commit sufficient time to assume their director's duties.

The Board is of the view that Mr. Kam, Eddie Shing Cheuk, Mr. Zhang Shulin and Mr. Cheung Man Sang have made positive contributions to the Company's strategy, policies and performance with their independent advice, comments, judgment from the perspective of their strong accounting, automobile enterprises management and financial management backgrounds coupled with their general understanding of business of the Group during their tenure as independent non-executive Director. The Board also considers that they will continue to contribute to the diversity of the Board, in particular, with their professional experience in the field of accounting, automobile enterprises management and financial management.

As a good corporate governance practice, Mr. Chen Cunyou, Mr. Guo Zhenjun, Mr. Kam, Eddie Shing Cheuk, Mr. Zhang Shulin and Mr. Cheung Man Sang each abstained from voting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by Shareholders.

Biographical details of Mr. Chen Cunyou, Mr. Guo Zhenjun, Mr. Kam, Eddie Shing Cheuk, Mr. Zhang Shulin and Mr. Cheung Man Sang are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

3. GRANTING OF ISSUE MANDATE

On 15 June 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 issue Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval of the resolution in relation to the Issue Mandate at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 800,000,000 Shares. Subject to passing of the resolution approving the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the resolution approving the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 160,000,000 Shares representing not more than 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Details of the Issue Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate are set out in ordinary resolutions as referred to in resolutions Nos. 5 and 6 respectively of the AGM notice. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate, other than Shares which may be allotted and issued upon the exercise of any options granted under the share option scheme of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. GRANTING OF REPURCHASE MANDATE

On 15 June 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 repurchase Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval of the Repurchase Resolution at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 800,000,000 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 Repurchase Resolution, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution will be 80,000,000 Shares representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

An explanatory statement as required under the Share Repurchase Rules to provide the requisite information in connection with the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

5. APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

6. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT Set out on pages 17 to 21 of this circular is the AGM Notice.

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders to approve the grant of Repurchase Mandate, the Issue Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate, the re-appointment of auditor and the re-election of retiring Directors.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the meeting, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instruction printed thereon and return it to the Company's branch registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM or any adjourned meeting if you so wish.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes at the AGM will 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 Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration in the Repurchase Mandate.

This appendix also constitutes the memorandum as required under Section 239(2) of the Companies Ordinance.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid shares, either directly or indirectly, on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that (i) the shares of such company proposed to be purchased must be fully paid up, (ii) such company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the necessary information as required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, and (iii) all repurchases of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders at a general meeting duly held and convened, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction, in compliance with the requirements under Rule 10.06(1)(c) of the Listing Rules.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprises 800,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Resolution to repurchase a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company during the period ending on the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or the Articles of Association or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have general authority from Shareholders to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange. 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 and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. The Cayman Companies Act provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the repurchase or out of capital subject to and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either or both of the profits of the Company or the share premium account of the Company before or at the time the Shares are repurchased in the manner provided for under the Cayman Companies Act.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. On the basis of the current financial position of the Group and taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Group. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Group or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

6. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

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 currently intends to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 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 Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

7. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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 a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar the Directors are aware of, Sunrise International and Mr. Chen Hao (directly and indirectly) owned 238,260,000 and 246,468,000 Shares respectively, representing 29.78% and 30.81% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full, their interest in the Company will be increased to approximately 33.09% and 34.23% respectively. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences of repurchases which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchases on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in public hands.

The Directors will use their best endeavours to ensure that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent that the number of Shares held by the public would be reduced to less than the public float percentage of 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

8. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
