The businesses to be considered at the EGM are described in more details in the notice of EGM, which was dispatched to the Shareholders on 27 August 2020.

* For identification purposes only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Resolutions to be proposed at the EGM for the Shareholders' consideration include the following:

    1. the resolution on the 2019 Annual Profit Distribution Plan,
    2. the resolution on the change in appointment of the PRC auditor for 2020, and
    3. the resolution on the election of Supervisors of the Company's fourth session of the Supervisory Committee.
  1. BUSINESSES OF THE EGM

1. To consider and approve the resolution on the 2019 Annual Profit Distribution Plan

Reference is made to the announcement dated 20 August 2020 of the Company with respect to the 2019 Annual Profit Distribution Plan.

A meeting of the Board was convened on 20 August 2020. Taking into full account the reasonable returns of investors and the long-term development of the Company and provided that the normal business operation and development of the Company is guaranteed, the Board proposes the distribution of profits for the year 2019 based on the total number of issued Shares of the Company on the record date for the distribution of the 2019 Annual Dividends, and the details of the 2019 Annual Profit Distribution Plan is as follows:

The Company proposes to distribute a cash dividend of RMB1.25 (tax inclusive) for every 10 Shares to all Shareholders, and calculated based on the total number of issued Shares of the Company on the date when the Board approves the 2019 Annual Profit Distribution Plan, being 3,849,910,396 Shares, the total cash dividend to be distributed will amount to RMB481,238,799.50 (tax inclusive). If the total number of issued Shares of the Company changes during the period from the date of the aforesaid Board meeting to the record date for distribution of the 2019 Annual Dividends, the total amount of distribution will remain unchanged and the distribution amount per share will be adjusted accordingly. The amount of cash dividend of the Company for the year 2019 accounts for approximately 34.01% of the Company's net profit attributable to shareholders of parent company in 2019. The undistributed portion of the distributable profit of the Company for 2019 will be carried forward to the next year.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no plan for share issue that might change the total number of its issued Shares on or before the record date for the distribution of the 2019 Annual Dividends.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is also proposed to the EGM to authorize the Board and its authorized person(s) to implement the 2019 Annual Profit Distribution Plan. Subject to the above authorization being granted, the Board will delegate its authority to the Company's management for implementing all relevant matters relating to the 2019 Annual Profit Distribution Plan.

Subject to the 2019 Annual Profit Distribution Plan being approved at the EGM, the 2019 Annual Dividends will be paid to holders of H Shares whose names are registered in the Company's register of members on Thursday, 22 October 2020. In accordance with the Articles of Association, the 2019 Annual Dividends will be denominated in RMB, of which the dividends of holders of A Shares will be distributed and paid in RMB while those of holders of H Shares will be declared in RMB and paid in HKD. The 2019 Annual Dividends are expected to be paid to holders of H Shares on or before Monday, 30 November 2020.

2. To consider and approve the resolution on the change in appointment of Ernst & Young Hua Ming as the PRC auditor of the Company for 2020

Reference is made to the announcement dated 20 August 2020 of the Company with respect to the proposed change of PRC auditor by the Company.

Given that Ernst & Young Hua Ming strictly abided by its duties, and issued an audit report for the Company in an objective and fair manner pursuant to the independent auditing standards during the preparation of the initial public offering of A Shares of the Company, the Board resolved on 20 August 2020 to propose the change of the PRC auditor of the Company for 2020 from Reanda to Ernst & Young Hua Ming, with a term of office from the date when its appointment is approved at the EGM to the date of the annual general meeting of the Company for the year 2020, and to authorize the Board (and its authorized person(s)) to determine its remuneration.

The Company has communicated with Reanda in advance regarding the above-mentioned change of PRC auditor and obtained its understanding and support. Reanda is aware of the related arrangement and confirms that it has no objection to it. Reanda has confirmed in writing to the Company that there are no matters relating to its retirement from the PRC auditor of the Company that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company. The Board also confirms that there is no arrangement relating to the change of PRC auditor that needs to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company.
