On 30 March 2021, the nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee"), after having reviewed the profiles of the retiring Directors who have offered themselves for re-appointment at the AGM to consider their suitability in light of the structure, size and composition of the Board, nominated Messrs. Quek Sze Whye, Bijay Joseph, Lau Yan Hong, Phang Yew Kiat, Chan Po Siu and Xu Fenglei to the Board for it to recommend to the Shareholders for re-election as Directors at the AGM. Messrs. Chan Po Siu and Xu Fenglei who are members and were present at the meeting of the Nomination Committee, abstained from voting at the meeting of the Nomination Committee when their respective nominations were being considered. The Board accepted the nominations by the Nomination Committee and recommended Messrs. Quek Sze Whye, Bijay Joseph, Lau Yan Hong, Phang Yew Kiat, Chan Po Siu and Xu Fenglei to stand for re-election by the Shareholders at the AGM.

The nominations were made in accordance with the nomination policy of the Company and the objective criteria (including without limitation, character and integrity, professional qualifications, skills, knowledge and experience, and potential time commitment for the Board and/ or committee responsibilities), with due regard for the benefits of diversity as set out under the board diversity policy of the Company. The Nomination Committee had also taken into account the respective contributions of Messrs. Quek Sze Whye, Bijay Joseph, Lau Yan Hong, Phang Yew Kiat, Chan Po Siu and Xu Fenglei to the Board and their commitment to their roles.

Chan Po Siu, Wee Hian Eng Cyrus and Xu Fenglei.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITOR

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 19 April 2021 in relation to the retirement of BDO as the auditor of the Company and the Proposed Change of Auditor.

BDO has been the auditor of the Company continuously for five years. The Board and the Audit Committee consider that changing the auditor of the Company after an appropriate period of time is a good corporate governance practice to ensure independence of the auditor. In this regard, BDO will retire as the auditor of the Company upon expiration of its current term of office and will not seek for re-appointment as auditor of the Company at the forthcoming AGM. The Board, with the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has resolved to change the auditor of the Company and proposed to appoint EY as the new auditor of the Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2021 to fill the vacancy arising from the retirement of BDO and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the forthcoming AGM. It is further proposed that the Board be authorised at the AGM to fix the remuneration of EY with reference to the Company's scale of business and the prevailing market conditions.

The Board and the Audit Committee confirmed that to the best of their understanding and knowledge, there are no matters regarding the retirement of BDO which need to be brought to the attention of the holders of securities of the Company. BDO has confirmed in writing that there were no matters relating to its retirement as the auditor of the Company that need to be brought to the attention of the holders of securities of the Company.

The Board would like to express its sincere gratitude to BDO for its professional and quality services rendered to the Company in the past years.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice convening the AGM, which contains, inter alia, ordinary resolutions to approve, among other things, (i) the Issue Mandate; (ii) the Buy-back Mandate; (iii) the extension of the Issue Mandate by the addition thereto of the aggregate number of Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate; (iv) the re-election of the retiring Directors; and (v) the Proposed Change of Auditor are set out on pages 23 to 28 of this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the AGM is enclosed with this circular and published on the respective websites of Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company at www.chuanholdings.com, respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Whether or not you are able to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's branch share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof) if you so wish, and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

VOTING BY POLL AT THE AGM

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, the vote of Shareholders at the AGM must be taken by poll and a scrutineer will be appointed by the Company for vote taking at the AGM except where the chairman, in good faith decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The chairman of the AGM will therefore demand a poll for every resolution as set out in the notice of the AGM to be put to the vote of the AGM pursuant to the Articles. An announcement on the poll vote results will be made by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules and will be published on the websites of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company at www.chuanholdings.com, respectively.

CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS

The Board consider that (i) the granting of the Issue Mandate; (ii) the granting of the Buy- back Mandate; (iii) the extension of the Issue Mandate; (iv) the re-election of the retiring Directors; and (v) the Proposed Change of Auditor are all in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Your attention is drawn to the general information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully,

By order of the Board

Chairman and Non-executive Director

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The explanatory statement contains all the information required to be given to the Shareholders pursuant to the requirement of Listing Rules. The purpose of this explanatory statement is to provide the Shareholders with all information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision as to whether to voting for or against the resolution relating to the grant of the Buy-back Mandate at the AGM.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,036,456,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to buy back a maximum of 103,645,600 Shares, being 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution for granting the Buy-back Mandate.

The Buy-back Mandate, will continue in effect until the earliest 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 held by the Articles, the Companies Act or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back its Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its 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.

3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS

Buy-backs made pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate would be funded entirely from the Company's available cash flow or working capital facilities derived from distributable profits of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or other distributions which will be funds legally available under the applicable law and regulations of the Cayman Islands, the Listing Rules and the Articles.

FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

4. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION OF BUY-BACK

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared to the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020) in the event that the Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy- back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would, under the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

6. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will only exercise the Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and in accordance with the regulations set out in the Articles.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not been notified by any core connected person (as defined as below and under the Listing Rules) that such a person has a present intention to sell, or has undertaken not to sell, any Shares to the company, if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates or close associate(s), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Buy-back Mandate if such is approved at the AGM.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

Pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Codes, if as a result of buy-back(s) of Shares by the Company, 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 Codes. Accordingly, if a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company following such buy-back(s) made by the Company, such Shareholder or group of Shareholders would become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes.

- 14 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

FOR THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

In the event that the Directors exercise the Buy-back Mandate in full, the total number of Shares which will be bought back pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate shall be 103,645,600 Shares (being 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Brewster Global (Mr. Lim is the sole shareholder and the sole director of Brewster Global, and pursuant to SFO, Mr. Lim is deemed to be interested in all the Shares of the Company held by Brewstel Global, and Brewster Global and Mr. Lim are controlling shareholders of the Company) is interested in 529,125,000 Shares, representing approximately 51.05% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Meanwhile, Mr. Lim also had direct personal interests in 17,044,000 Shares of the Company, representing approximately 1.65% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Therefore, Mr. Lim is holding in total 546,169,000 Shares through Brewster Global and in his personal capacity, representing approximately 52.70% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares under the Buy- back Mandate, then (if the present shareholdings remains the same) the attributable interests of Brewster Global would be increased to approximately 56.72% and the attributable interests of Mr. Lim would be increased to approximately 58.55% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors believe that such an increase will not give rise to an obligation of Brewster Global and Mr. Lim to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code whilst the Shares held by the public would be maintained at no less than 25%.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are currently not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy-back made under the Buy-back Mandate. Nevertheless, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, trigger any potential consequences under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Codes. In any event, the Buy-back Mandate will be exercised only if the number of Shares held by public would not fall below 25% following such exercise.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

Save as disclosed above, the Company had not bought back any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
