LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE REPURCHASE AND ISSUANCE MANDATES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 3, 2020, general mandates were granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares and to issue new Shares respectively. Such mandates, to the extent not utilized, will lapse at the conclusion of the 2021 AGM.

In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue and repurchase Shares if and when appropriate, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the 2021 AGM to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

  1. to purchase Shares, on the Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange, not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution (i.e. not exceeding 145,341,000 Shares on the basis that the existing issued share capital of the Company of 1,453,410,000 Shares remains unchanged as at the date of the 2021 AGM) (the "Repurchase Mandate");
  2. to allot, issue or deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing such resolution (i.e. not exceeding 290,682,000 Shares on the basis that the existing issued share capital of the Company of 1,453,410,000 Shares remains unchanged as at the date of the 2021 AGM) (the "Issuance Mandate"); and
  3. to extend the Issuance Mandate by adding the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the 2021 AGM or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in items 10 and 11 of the notice of the 2021 AGM as set out on pages 18 to 22 of this circular.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company shall send to Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Repurchase Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Articles of Association, Mr. Guan Yihong, Mr. He Chengxiao, Mr. Deng Tao, Ms. Tang Zhihui and Ms. Zhu Rui shall retire and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the 2021 AGM.

The Nomination Committee of the Company has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's Board Diversity Policy, Procedures for the Nomination Committee to Nominate to the Board a Person as Director, the Company's corporate strategy and the independence of the independent non-executive Directors.

Mr. Deng Tao, Ms. Tang Zhihui and Ms. Zhu Rui, the retiring independent non-executive Directors, have confirmed their independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The aforesaid independent non-executive Directors also demonstrate the ability to provide an independent, balanced and objective view to the Company's matters. The Nomination Committee and the Board thus considered that the retiring independent non- executive Directors are independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules.

Besides, the Nomination Committee and the Board are satisfied with the contribution of Mr. Guan Yihong, Mr. He Chengxiao and Mr. Deng Tao to the Company. Both the Nomination Committee and the Board believed that all the retiring Directors will continue to make contribution to the Board and continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. The Nomination Committee and the Board therefore recommended the re-election of all the retiring Directors, including the retiring independent non-executive Directors.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders' approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of all retiring Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. 2021 AGM AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The notice of the 2021 AGM is set out on pages 18 to 22 of this circular. At the 2021 AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and the Issuance Mandate, the extension of the Issuance Mandate by the addition thereto of the number of Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, all the proposed resolutions will be put to vote by way of poll at the 2021 AGM. An announcement on the poll results will be made by the Company after the 2021 AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the 2021 AGM is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.jiumaojiu.com). Whether or not you are able to attend the 2021 AGM, please complete and sign the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power of attorney or authority, to the Company's Share Registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the 2021 AGM (i.e. not later than 2:30 p.m. on Monday, May 31, 2021) or any adjournment thereof. Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the 2021 AGM in person if you so wish and in such event, your proxy form shall be deemed to be revoked.

5. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate, the granting/extension of the Issuance Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors are in the interests of the Company, the Group and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the 2021 AGM.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2021 AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company, the Group and the Shareholders.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,453,410,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 10 of the notice of the

2021 AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the 2021 AGM, i.e. being 1,453,410,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, 145,341,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the 2021 AGM.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be funded from the Company's internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Company's memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase

- 7 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time befitting the Company.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, GYH J Limited held 590,945,000 Shares, representing approximately 40.66% of the total issued share capital of the Company. GYH J Limited is wholly owned by Mr. Guan Yihong, the Chairman of the Board and an executive Director. On the basis that (i) the issued share capital of the Company (being 1,453,410,000 Shares) remains unchanged as at the 2021 AGM; and (ii) the shareholding interests held by GYH J Limited remains unchanged immediately after the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding interests of GYH J Limited would be increased to approximately 45.18% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such an increase in shareholdings would give rise to an obligation for GYH J Limited to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Company does not have any intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to such an obligation.

In addition, the Company has no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the effect that it will result in the public float to fall below 25% or such other minimum percentage prescribed by the Listing Rules from time to time.

6. GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE

REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
