PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE AGM

In view of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and recent guidelines for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the AGM to protect the Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders who attend the AGM from the risk of infection:

  1. 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;
  2. the Company will require all attendees to wear surgical face masks before they are permitted to attend, and during their attendance of the AGM at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats;
  3. no refreshment will be served at the AGM; and
  4. no souvenirs will be distributed at the AGM.

Any person who does not comply with the above requirements may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue. 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 other attendees at the AGM. In our case, denied entry to the AGM venue also means that person will not be allowed to attend the AGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and in accordance with recent guidelines for prevention and control of the spread of the pandemic, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, the Shareholders may complete the proxy forms and 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 forms were despatched to the Shareholders together with this circular, and can otherwise be downloaded from the websites of the Company at www.ccnewlife.com.cn or the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk. If you are not a registered Shareholder (i.e. if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks, brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, approve, among other things, the following resolutions to be proposed at the AGM:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the re-election of the retiring Directors.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

Pursuant to the written resolutions passed by the then Shareholders on 29 April 2020, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase the Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase the Shares not exceeding 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution at the AGM. Details of the Repurchase Mandate are set out in the ordinary resolution no. 5(B) in the AGM Notice.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,257,242,000 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 125,724,200 Shares.

An explanatory statement, as required under the Listing Rules to provide the requisite information in connection with the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The Repurchase Mandate will continue in force until the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be convened under the Articles of Association or any applicable law(s); or (iii) the date on which the authority given under the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.

ISSUE MANDATE

Pursuant to the written resolutions passed by all the then Shareholders on 29 April 2020, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, two ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution at the AGM, and an extension of the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate. Details of the Issue Mandate and its extension are set out in the ordinary resolution nos. 5(A) and 5(C), respectively, in the AGM Notice.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,257,242,000 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing of the resolution approving the Issue Mandate at the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Issue Mandate as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Issue Mandate will be 251,448,400 Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Issue Mandate and its extension will continue in force until the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be convened under the Articles of Association or any applicable law(s); or (iii) the date on which the authority given under the ordinary resolution approving the Issue Mandate and its extension is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.

FINAL DIVIDEND

As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 26 March 2021 relating to, among others, the annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Board recommends the payment of a final dividend of HK18 cents per Share for the year ended 31 December 2020 to be paid on Tuesday, 25 May 2021 to the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on Thursday, 13 May 2021. Such dividend, if approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, will be paid out of share premium account of the Company.

For determining the entitlement to the proposed final dividend (subject to the approval by Shareholders at the AGM) for the year ended 31 December 2020, the register of members of the Company will be closed on Thursday, 13 May 2021, during which period no transfer of shares will be registered. In order to be qualified for the proposed final dividend, all transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai for registration not later than 4 : 30 p.m. on Wednesday, 12 May 2021.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 84(1) of the Articles of Association, at every annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. Pursuant to Article 84(2) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Wang Qian, as a retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires. In accordance with Article 84(1) and 84(2) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Wang Jun, Mr. Wang Qian and Ms. Min Huidong, therefore, will retire from their offices at the AGM, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you to enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the proposed granting of the Repurchase Mandate.

PROVISIONS OF THE LISTING RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below.

EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company was HK$12,572,420 comprising 1,257,242,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the resolution approving the granting of the proposed Repurchase Mandate at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and/or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could result in up to 125,724,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of such resolution, being repurchased by the Company during the period from the date of passing the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate until the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company unless by an ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held under any applicable Cayman Islands law or the Articles of Association; or (iii) the date on which the authority given under the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate is revoked, varied or renewed by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek the Repurchase Mandate 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. The timing of such repurchases, the number of Shares to be repurchased, the repurchase price and other terms upon which the Shares are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the prevailing circumstances.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. The Company may not repurchase the Shares for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the

- 9 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time. Subject to the foregoing, the Company may make repurchases with funds which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of an issue of new Shares for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to compliance with the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, out of capital.

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 Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing levels 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. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, result in 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.

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, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

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

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he or she or it has a present intention to sell his or her or its Shares to the Company, nor has he or she or it undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make purchases of the Shares.

EFFECTS OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interest of the Shareholder(s), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

- 10 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 1,257,242,000 Shares in issue. According to the register kept by the Company pursuant to Section 336 of the SFO, Mr. Wu Po Sum was interested in 848,092,944 Shares held via Enjoy Start, representing approximately 67.46% of the issued share capital of the Company.

On the assumption that the issued share capital of the Company remains the same, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Wu Po Sum in the Company would be increased from approximately 67.46% to approximately 74.95% of the issued share capital of the Company. As such, an obligation to make a mandatory offer to the Shareholders under the Takeovers Code may potentially arise. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent which would otherwise result in takeover obligations or the number of Shares being held by the public falling below the minimum requirement as prescribed by the Stock Exchange, which is currently 25% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, there was no repurchase of its Shares made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

SHARE PRICES

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