Shareholders and other persons attending the Annual General Meeting should note that the Company may need to take certain precautionary measures at the venue of the Annual General Meeting to ensure the safety of attendees, including (but not limited to) requiring all attendees to have body temperature check and wear face masks. In addition, no refreshments will be served and no corporate gift will be distributed at the meeting. The Company reserves the right to deny admission to the meeting venue if any person does not comply with the precautionary measures to be taken at the meeting or such person is subject to any applicable prescribed quarantine or has close contact with any person under quarantine or has any flu-like symptoms.

Shareholders are reminded that they should carefully consider the risks of attending the Annual General Meeting, taking into consideration their own personal circumstances.

Subject to the continuing development of COVID-19, the Company may be required to adopt further changes to the arrangement of the Annual General Meeting at short notice. Shareholders are advised to check the websites of the Company (http://www.tontine-wines. com.hk) and the Stock Exchange (http://www.hkexnews.hk) for any further announcement(s) and information relating to the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GRANT OF BUY-BACK MANDATE, GENERAL MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and buy-back mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to buy-back issued Shares. The maximum number of Shares that may be bought back pursuant to the Buy- back Mandate will be such number which represents 10% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution subject to the Listing Rules.

The Buy-back Mandate will lapse on the earliest of (i) the date of the next annual general meeting, or (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law and/or the Bye-laws, or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Company in general meeting.

The explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders in connection with the proposed resolution to grant to the Directors the Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. This contains all the information reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution.

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with further Shares representing up to 20% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution of the Buy-back Mandate and the General Mandate, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed to authorise the Directors to issue new Shares in an amount not exceeding the aggregate number of Shares bought back pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate.

Based on 2,013,018,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and on the basis that no new Shares will be issued and no Shares will be bought back by the Company for the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting:

  1. subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the General Mandate to the Directors, the Company will be allowed under the General Mandate to issue up to a maximum of 402,603,600 Shares, representing 20% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; and
  2. subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate to the Directors, the Company will be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy-back up to a maximum of 201,301,800 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to buy-back any Shares or to allot and issue any new Shares, other than Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of any options granted under the share option scheme(s) of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Nomination policy and recommendation of the Nomination Committee and the Board

To ensure a balance of skills, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of the business of the Group among members of the Board, the nomination of Directors for re-appointment at the Annual General Meeting were made by the Nomination Committee in accordance with the nomination policy adopted by the Company and the selection criteria as set out in the diversity policy of the Company (including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service).

The Nomination Committee established by the Board had nominated Mr Zhang and Mr Lai to the Board for the Board to make recommendation to the Shareholders for re-election at the Annual General Meeting, having reviewed the composition of the Board and having regard to their professional experience, skills, knowledge and/or length of service, their commitment to their respective roles and functions, and their respective contributions brought and to be brought to the Group.

Furthermore, according to code provision A.4.3 set out in the Corporate Governance Code contained in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive director serves more than nine years, his further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by shareholders. This code provision is applicable to the re-election of Mr Lai who has been serving as independent non-executive Director for more than nine years.

The Board (as well as the Nomination Committee) is satisfied that, at all times during the period of Mr Lai's directorship with the Company, Mr Lai has properly discharged his duties and responsibilities as an independent non-executive Director and has made positive contribution to the development of the Group through independent and constructive comments and participation at the business and other affairs relating to the Group. The Board (as well as the Nomination Committee) was also satisfied with the independence of Mr Lai, having regard to the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

Having considered the above, the Board (as well as the Nomination Committee) is satisfied that Mr Lai is a person of integrity and stature and believes that his re-election and continued appointment or re-appointment will allow the Board and the Group as a whole to continuously benefit from the sharing of his invaluable experience, contribution and participation. Therefore, the Board concurred with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee regarding the re-election of Mr Lai as independent non-executive Director at the Annual General Meeting.

Mr Lai (being one of the members of the Nomination Committee) had abstained from voting at the meeting of the Nomination Committee and at the meeting of the Board when his own nomination was being considered.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the grant of the Buy-back Mandate to the Directors.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE BUY-BACK OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to buy-back their securities on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all buy-back of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 2,013,018,000 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no new Shares are issued and no Shares are bought back for the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to buy-back up to a maximum of 201,301,800 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

3. REASONS FOR THE BUY-BACKS

The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate 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 buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-backs will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

In making buy-backs, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share buy-back may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The premium payable on buy-back may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the

- I-1-

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

Company's share premium before the Shares are bought back. In accordance with the laws of Bermuda, the Shares so bought back would be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital would not be reduced.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT IN THE EVENT OF BUY-BACK IN FULL

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period, it might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 December 2020, being the date on which its latest published audited consolidated financial statements were made up. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. SHARE PRICES

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

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

7. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Buy- back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum of association of the Company and the Bye-laws.

8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Buy-back Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the grant of the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

9. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to buy-back securities pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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, according to the register of interests kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, the following persons were directly or indirectly interested in 5% or more of the issued Shares:

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

Notes:

  1. These Shares are held by Up Mount International Limited (''Up Mount'') (a company incorporated in the BVI) whose entire issued shares were solely and beneficially owned by Mr Wang Guanyuan (''Mr. Wang''). Mr Wang is deemed to be interested in all the Shares held by Up Mount under Part XV of the SFO.
  2. Ms Zhang Min is the spouse of Mr Wang and is deemed to be interested in all the Shares held or taken to be interested by Mr Wang under Part XV of the SFO.

On the basis of 2,013,018,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming there is no further issue or buy-back of Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting, if the Buy-back Mandate were exercised in full, the shareholding in the Company of Mr Wang together with his close associates (including Up Mount and Ms Zhang Min) would be increased from approximately 24.60% to approximately 27.33% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase would not result in the aggregate amount of the issued share capital of the Company in the public hands being reduced to less than 25%, and would not give rise to an obligation on the part of Mr Wang and parties acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) with him to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent that would result in (i) any obligation of Mr Wang and parties acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) with him to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or (ii) the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed percentage of 25%.

10. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY

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