PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will implement necessary preventive measures at the AGM to protect attending Shareholders, proxy and other attendees from the risk of infection, including without limitation:

  1. compulsory body temperature check will be conducted on every attendee at the entrance of the AGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.2 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the AGM venue or be required to leave the AGM venue;
  2. each attendee is required to prepare his/her own surgical face mask and wear the same inside the AGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and
  3. no corporate gifts will be distributed and no refreshments will be served.

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 attendees' health and safety, the Company wishes to advise all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions duly completed, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM instead of attending the AGM in person.

The proxy form, which can also be downloaded from the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.chinaconsun.com), is enclosed to this circular. In order to be valid, the signed and completed proxy form must be deposited at the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or the adjourned meeting (as the case may be). 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 or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase shares on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the SFC subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchases 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.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 819,623,980 Shares in issue.

The Repurchase Mandate will enable the Directors to repurchase the Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of the issued Shares of the Company on the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution at the AGM. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 81,962,398 Shares.

The Repurchase Mandate, unless revoked or varied by way of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, which is expected to be convened on or before 30 June 2022.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company's memorandum of association, the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, which may include distributable profits of the Company.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. 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 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.

- 10 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the most recent published audited financial statements, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase 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.

CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

UNDERTAKING

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

THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If, as a result of a Shares repurchase, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a 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 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and insofar the Directors are aware of, Mr. An is the founder of a discretionary trust holding, via an intermediate holding company, 197,324,000 Shares, representing approximately 24.08% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company. Mr. An, the trustee (and the intermediate holding company) of the discretionary trust in its capacity, Ms. Li, Double Grace International Limited, Mr. Young and Guidoz Limited (which is wholly owned by Mr. Young) are taken to be a concert party group holding a total of approximately 452,716,000 Shares, representing approximately 55.23% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. On the basis of 819,623,980 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the date of the AGM and assuming that there will not be any change in the issued share capital of the Company prior to the repurchase of Shares, in the

- 11 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full, their interests in the Company as a concert party group with respect to the Company will be further increased to approximately 61.37%. On the basis of the aforesaid increase of shareholding, the Directors are not presently aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company bought back an aggregate of 6,045,000 Shares on the Stock Exchange during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, details of which are as follows:
