2021 is determined with reference to the adjusted net profit

benchmarks

of the Company and represents approximately 120%-150%

of the adjusted net profit of the Company for the year

ended 31 December 2019, and the performance targets for

each of the years ending 31 December 2022, 2023, 2024

represents an annual increase ranging between 15%-25%

as compared with the performance target of the previous

year (collectively, the "Performance Targets"). Each

Batch of Options will be fully vested if more than or equal

to 80% of the corresponding Performance Targets are

satisfied. If the actual adjusted net profit of the Company

lower than 80% of the Performance Targets, the Options in

the relevant Batch of Options will only vest in a fewer

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given that the total number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options to be granted to Mr. Zheng, may in a 12-month period exceed 1% of the Shares in issue, pursuant to the Listing Rules, the grant of the Options to Mr. Zheng is conditional upon the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the AGM. Mr. Zheng and his associates shall abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the Grant at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, other than the Options conditionally granted to Mr. Zheng for the subscription of 15,066,000 Shares (representing approximately 1.32% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date), Mr. Zheng and Rhythm Brilliant Limited, which is wholly-owned by Mr. Zheng are interested in 4,872,539 and 19,277,225 Shares of the Company, respectively, representing a total of 2.12% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Therefore, Mr. Zheng and his associate, Rhythm Brilliant Limited, shall abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the Grant at the AGM. Save for the aforementioned, no other Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the resolutions in relation to the Grant at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Shareholders who were required to abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the Grant at the AGM have given the Company notice of their intention to vote against this resolution at the AGM.

REASONS FOR THE GRANT

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to give incentives and rewards to the eligible participants as defined in the Post-IPO Share Option Scheme for their contribution to the Group, and to align the corporate objectives and interests between the Group and its key talents. The Board has taken into consideration of the following factors when determining the Grant:

  1. Mr. Zheng's Background and Qualifications

Mr. Zheng is an executive Director and the chief executive officer of the Company being responsible for the business operation and overall management of the Group and has held directorships and senior management positions at various subsidiaries within the Group, including as a director and the general manager of Tianjin Maoyan Weying since April 2016, and as an executive director, the legal representative as well as the manager of Maoyan Technology since February 2018. Mr. Zheng has extensive experience in the Internet and media industries, please refer to Appendix I for details of biography information of Mr. Zheng.

(ii) Mr. Zheng's contribution to the Group

Mr. Zheng is the main visionary of the Company, who has extensive experience in the Internet and media industries and led the Company to a successful listing on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange in February 2019.

The Company relies on the expertise, experience and leadership ability of our core senior management members, particularly Mr. Zheng, who has been critical to the strategic and overall management of our Company. The Company was spun off from Meituan and operated independently in 2016. Since then, Mr. Zheng has developed a horizontal and vertical development strategy, i.e. the Internet and Comprehensive Entertainment strategy. Under his leadership, the Company has experienced rapid expansion of platform business, fast growth in the businesses of investment and promotion and distribution of films and TV series, as well as continuous improvement and continual innovation in our professional service capabilities;

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

during the period, Mr. Zheng also led the Company to complete the Weying Acquisition, the introduction of strategic partners such as Tencent, the establishment of "Tencent and Maoyan Alliance" and other major events. Under the outstanding leadership of Mr. Zheng, the Company has now become the leading online movie ticketing service provider, the leading domestic movie producer/promoter and distributor, and the leading movie and television information services company. In 2019, the Company turned losses into profits for the first time, with satisfactory revenue contribution and development potential for itself and the shareholders. Under the leadership of Mr. Zheng, the Company will continue to grow firmly in line with the established strategic direction and objective in the future.

(iii) The Remuneration Policy of the Group

The Group's remuneration policy is based on position, duties and performance of the employees. The employees' remuneration varies according to their positions, which may include salary, bonus and various subsidies. The Group has adopted the Post-IPO Option Scheme for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group's operations. The Grant is therefore in line with the Group's remuneration policy.

(iv) The Board's view

The Board believes that Mr. Zheng's vision and leadership are essential for the Company to fulfil its strategic plan. The Board considers that the exercise of the Options depends upon the increase in the adjusted net profit of the Company to be driven by improving the overall management business and performance of the Group at which time all the Shareholders also stand to benefit. The Grant therefore provides an incentive to Mr. Zheng to continue being actively involved in the business operation and overall management of the Group to make the Group more profitable, which will also enhance the value of the Company and the Shareholders.

The Board considers that the grant of Options to Mr. Zheng is an appropriate way to recognise the contribution of Mr. Zheng, also as an incentive for his continuing commitment and contribution to the future growth of the Group which is the purpose of the Options.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE

PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,139,107,201 Shares of nominal value of US$0.00002 each. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting of the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 113,910,720 Shares representing 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or (ii) the expiration of the period with which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS AND FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its 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 its 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. The grant of the Proposed Repurchase Mandate will provide the Directors with flexibility to repurchase Shares when it is in the interest of the Company to do so.

Repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Cayman Companies Law. The Cayman Companies Law 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 Law. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased in the manner provided for in the Cayman Companies Law. The circumstances for which the Company can apply funds in repurchasing the Share are provided under section 37 of the Cayman Companies Law.

According to article 15(a) of the Articles of Association, subject to the Cayman Companies Law, or any other law or so far as not prohibited by any law and subject to any rights conferred on the holders of any class of Shares, the Company shall have the power to purchase or otherwise acquire all or any of its own Shares (which expression as used in the Articles of Association includes redeemable Shares) provided that the manner and terms of purchase have first been authorised by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.

- 22 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE

PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

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. The Directors consider that if the general mandate to repurchase Shares were to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2020, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to repurchase Shares to such 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 appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their close associates, currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, if the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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

No core connected person, has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

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 group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Wang Changtian was interested in approximately 41.39% of our Company's issued share capital through the following entities: (i) Vibrant Wide Limited, which holds approximately 24.40% of the Shares; and (ii) Hong Kong Pictures International Limited, which holds approximately 16.99% of the Shares. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Proposed Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Wang Changtian, Vibrant Wide Limited and Hong Kong Pictures International Limited in the Company will be increased to approximately 45.99%, 27.12% and 18.87% of the issued share capital of the Company respectively. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase in shareholding of Mr. Wang Changtian would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Proposed Repurchase

- 23 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE

PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE

Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.

As disclosed in the Prospectus and the announcement of the Company dated 27 February 2019, the Stock Exchange has granted the Company a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements of Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules, pursuant to which the public float of the Company may fall below 25% of the issued share capital of the Company, to allow a minimum public float of the Company to be 24.78%. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) has been made by the Company during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

SHARE PRICES
