PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

In view of the ongoing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the AGM to protect all attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  1. the Company encourages the Shareholders to consider appointing the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM as an alternative to attending the AGM in person;
  2. compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue;
  3. each attendee must wear surgical face masks inside the AGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and
  4. no refreshments will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and consistent with recent pandemic guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising their voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM instead of attending the AGM in person.

The proxy form is attached to the AGM Circular for Shareholders who opt to receive physical circulars. Alternatively, the proxy form can be downloaded from the "Investors - Circulars" section of the Company's website at http://ausnutria.com.hk/en/ir/circulars.php.

If the Shareholders choose not to attend the AGM in person have any questions about the relevant resolutions, or about the Company or any matters for communication with the Board, they are welcome to contact the Company via its investors contact as follows:

In addition, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the extension of the Issue Mandate by adding to the aggregate number of Shares which may be allotted or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted by the Directors pursuant to the Issue Mandate the number of Shares purchased under the Repurchase Mandate (refer to section 2 below), if granted.

APPENDIX 1

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement includes information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.

  1. LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

  1. SHAREHOLDER'S APPROVAL

The Listing Rules provide that all on-market share repurchases by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by specific approval of a particular transaction or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such repurchases and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.

(III) EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,716,045,175 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased prior to the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 171,604,517 Shares, representing 10% of the then number of total issued Shares.

(IV) REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases may, depending on the circumstances, result in an increase in net assets and/ or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking in the grant of Repurchase Mandate to give the Company flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The timing and the numbers(s), 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 prevailing.

  1. SOURCE OF FUNDS

Repurchases must be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association. It is envisaged that the funds required for any repurchase would be derived from the distributable profits of the Company.

Under the Companies Law, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of the reserves of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

- 9 -

APPENDIX 1

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

There could be adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group contained in the Annual Report) in the event that the proposed Share repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or its gearing level.

(VI) SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

(VII) UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors have also undertaken not to repurchase any Shares if there is less than a minimum of 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company in public hands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquires, any of their close associate(s), currently intends to sell the Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

- 10 -

APPENDIX 1

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell the Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares.

(VIII) TAKEOVERS CODE

Pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code, if as a result of a Share repurchase, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code and may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for the Shares under Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, nothing has come to the attention of the Directors that there will be any consequences arise under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

(IX) SHARES REPURCHASE BY THE COMPANY

The Company did not repurchase any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
