    The Board is of the view that the Provision of Entrusted Loans to Kunlun Hotel by Finance Company as entrusted by the Company will fulfil the working capital requirements of Kunlun Hotel and help Kunlun Hotel resume production and operation under the impact of COVID-19, thereby safeguarding sound and stable business development. It will also facilitate the centralised application of the Group's existing funding resources to improve its fund application efficiency and generate interest income for the Group.

    The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that the terms of the Entrusted Loan Extension Agreement are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms, and are in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. As Mr. Yu Minliang, Ms. Guo Lijuan, Mr. Chen Liming, Mr. Ma Mingju, Ms. Zhou Wei and Mr. Sun Yu hold positions at Jin Jiang International, they abstained from voting in respect of the Board resolution approving the Entrusted Loan Extension Agreement. Save as disclosed above, none of the other Directors had a material interest in the relevant transactions or was required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution of the Board.
