To facilitate the implementation of the proposed A Share Offering and Listing plan and in accordance with Article 8.7 of the Articles of Association and the relevant laws and regulations, the Board of Directors has resolved to postpone the EGM (as additional time is required to prepare the Supplemental Circular containing the details of such resolutions) and convene the Class Meetings, and such resolutions will be put forward for consideration and approval by the Shareholders at the postponed EGM (subject to receipt of a written notice (the "Notice") from Mr. Zhang Haijun (張海軍) in respect of his proposal as described above), and the Class Meetings.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors hereby announces that the EGM, which is originally scheduled to be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, 15 October 2020, will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, 23 October 2020 instead.

In the light of the postponement of the EGM and the convening of the Class Meetings, the ending date of the period of closure of the register of members of the Company will be postponed, and such a period will be extended to Friday, 23 October 2020. Accordingly, no transfer of Shares has been registered from Monday, 14 September 2020 onwards, and such arrangements will remain in place until Friday, 23 October 2020 (both days inclusive). H Shareholders and Domestic Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on Monday, 14 September 2020 (Hong Kong time) are entitled to attend the postponed EGM and the H Shareholders Class Meeting or the Domestic Shareholders Class Meeting (as the case may be).
