6,945,571 RSUs will be granted to the remaining Grantees who are not Directors, the chief executive, or a substantial shareholder of the Company or its subsidiaries, nor an associate (as defined in the

Listing Rules) of any of them.

REASON FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE GRANT OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNITS

The reason for the grant of RSUs is to satisfy the Share component of those Directors' service contracts that comprise cash and Shares. The grant of RSUs will also incentivize skilled and experienced talent to remain with the Group and to motivate them to strive for the future development and expansion of the Group by providing them with the opportunity to own an equity interest in the Company, while at the same time encouraging them to be long-term holders of the Shares.

The Directors (including all the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the grant of RSUs is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Each of Ms. Cao Xinyi, Mr. Wang Wengang, Mr. Wang Yaxu and Mr. Li Jianlou had material interest in their respective grants, and therefore, abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board approving such grants.

By Order of the Board E-Commodities Holdings Limited

Cao Xinyi

Chairman

Hong Kong, 18 January 2019

As at the date of this announcement, the executive directors of the Company are Ms.Cao Xinyi, Mr. Wang Wengang, Mr. Wang Yaxu and Mr. Li Jianlou; the non-executive director of the Company is Mr. Guo Lisheng; and the independent non-executive directors of the Company are Mr. Ng Yuk Keung, Mr. Wang Wenfu and Mr. Gao Zhikai.
