NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to give Shareholders notice of the Annual General Meeting and information in respect of certain resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting including:

  1. the granting of general unconditional mandates to Directors to:
    1. repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution;

- 3 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

    1. allot, issue and otherwise deal in additional Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution; and
    2. extend the general mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal in additional Shares as mentioned in paragraph (b) above by the number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the general mandate granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares as mentioned in paragraph (a) above; and
  1. the re-election of retiring Directors.

Details of the matters to be proposed to Shareholders for consideration at the Annual General Meeting are contained in the notice of the Annual General Meeting set out on pages 16 to 20 of this circular.

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 1 June 2020, a general unconditional mandate was given by the Company to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares up to 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolution. Under its terms and the requirements of the Listing Rules, such mandate will, unless renewed at the Annual General Meeting, lapse (i) at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting; (ii) upon the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held in accordance with the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) upon its revocation or variation by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is the earlier.

As the Directors believe that a renewal of the repurchase mandate is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting granting the Directors a general unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares at any time until the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of such resolution or such earlier period as stated in the ordinary resolution up to a maximum of 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of such ordinary resolution (the "Repurchase Mandate").

The explanatory statement required under the Listing Rules to provide Shareholders with information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

The full text of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the Repurchase Mandate is set out in resolution No. 5A in the notice of the Annual General Meeting set out on pages 16 to 20 of this circular.

- 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 493,057,189 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with resolution No. 5A set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting contained in this circular (and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting), the Directors shall have authority to repurchase a maximum of 49,305,718 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, representing not more than 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 1 June 2020, a general unconditional mandate was given by the Company to the Directors to allot, issue and deal in additional Shares up to 20% of the number of Shares in issue as of the date of passing of the resolution. Under its terms and the requirements of the Listing Rules, such mandate will, unless renewed at the Annual General Meeting, lapse (i) at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting; (ii) upon the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held in accordance with the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) upon its revocation or variation by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in general meeting, whichever is the earlier.

As the Directors believe that a general mandate to allot, issue and deal in additional Shares provides the Company with flexibility to allot and issue new Shares where the Directors believe it is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole to do so, in particular for the purposes of any capital raising or other strategic needs that may arise from time to time, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting granting the Directors a general unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal in additional Shares at any time until the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of such resolution or such earlier period as stated in the ordinary resolution up to a maximum of 20% of the number of the Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of such ordinary resolution (the "Issue Mandate").

The full text of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the Issue Mandate is set out in resolution No. 5B in the notice of the Annual General Meeting set out on pages 16 to 20 of this circular.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 493,057,189 Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the Issue Mandate in accordance with resolution No. 5B set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting contained in this circular (and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting), the Directors shall have authority to issue a maximum of 98,611,437 Shares under the Issue Mandate, representing not more than 20% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution.

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition to the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in respect of the Issue Mandate, a further resolution will be proposed to increase the Issue Mandate by granting the Directors the right to allot, issue and deal in such number of additional Shares as is equal to the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. The full text of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the increase in the Issue Mandate is set out in resolution No. 5C in the notice of the Annual General Meeting set out on pages 16 to 20 of this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the executive Directors are Mr. Liu Sai Wang Stephen and Mr. Liu Sai Keung Thomas, the non-executive Directors are Mr. Ma Ting Hung and Mr. Yip Ka Kay, and the independent non-executive Directors are Mr. Chen Penghui, Mr. Fang Yuan and Mr. Wu Chak Man.

Pursuant to Article 109 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Ma Ting Hung, Mr. Chen Penghui and Mr. Wu Chak Man will retire by rotation from office at the Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to Article 113 of the Articles of Association, as Mr. Fang Yuan was appointed as an independent non-executive Director on 19 August 2020 to fill a casual vacancy, he will retire at the Annual General Meeting.

Mr. Ma Ting Hung, Mr. Chen Penghui and Mr. Fang Yuan, being eligible, shall offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting. The re-election of each of Mr. Ma Ting Hung, Mr. Chen Penghui and Mr. Fang Yuan will be subject to separate resolutions to be considered and if, thought fit, approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Details and brief biographies of each of Mr. Ma Ting Hung, Mr. Chen Penghui and Mr. Fang Yuan are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Mr. Wu Chak Man has informed the Board that he will not offer himself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting, and will retire as an independent non-executive Director, the chairman of the audit committee and a member of the nomination committee and the remuneration committee of the Board at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages 16 to 20 of this circular.

The register of members of the Company will not be closed for the purpose of ascertaining the right of Shareholders to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting to be held on Friday, 18 June 2021.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To be eligible and attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, all transfers of Shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 11 June 2021.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) should you so wish.

VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes at the Annual General Meeting will be taken by poll except where the chairman of the Annual General Meeting, 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.

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative, shall have one vote for every Share held which is fully paid or credited as fully paid.

The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the proposals referred to above, including the proposals to grant the Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate to the Directors and the re-election of the retiring Directors, Mr. Ma Ting Hung, Mr. Chen Penghui and Mr. Fang Yuan, are in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting contained in this circular.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of the Board

VCREDIT Holdings Limited

Ma Ting Hung

Chairman

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The following serves as the explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to be provided to Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate.

Approval of the Repurchase Mandate will grant a general unconditional mandate to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company during the period as set out in the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate.

1. SHARE REPURCHASES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

  1. Shareholders' Approval
    All on-market share repurchases by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate granted to the directors of the company to make share repurchases.
  2. Source of Funds
    Share repurchases must be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the company's constitutive documents and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the company is incorporated or otherwise established.
  3. Maximum Number of Shares to be Repurchased and Subsequent Issue
    The shares to be repurchased by a company must be fully-paid up. A maximum of 10% of the existing number of issued shares of a company as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution may be repurchased on the Stock Exchange and a company may not, without the prior approval of the Stock Exchange, issue new shares or announce a proposed new issue of shares for a period of 30 days immediately following a share repurchase whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise (other than an issue of securities pursuant to the exercise of warrants, share options or similar instruments requiring the company to issue securities, which were outstanding prior to the repurchase).

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. SHARE CAPITAL
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 493,057,189 Shares.
    Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 49,305,718 Shares representing not more than 10% of the number of Shares in issue.
  2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
    The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole as share repurchases by the Company may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share. Share repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate will only be made when the Directors believe that repurchases will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
  3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
    Any repurchase of Shares will be made out of funds legally available for such purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, any repurchase of Shares by the Company may be made out of profits of the Company, out of the Company's share premium account, out of proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any amount of premium payable on the purchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be paid out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.
    Based on the financial position of the Company disclosed in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020, there might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent where it would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or gearing levels of the Company or which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time inappropriate for the Company.

  1. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
    The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make share repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.
  2. REPURCHASE OF SHARES OF CONNECTED PERSONS
    None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such mandate is approved by Shareholders.
    No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any Shares to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders.

- 10 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. TAKEOVERS CODE
    If on the repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Ma Ting Hung ("Mr. Ma"), Skyworld-Best, Wealthy Surplus and Glory Global had beneficial interests in 8,450,000 Shares, 84,719,154 Shares, 46,607,010 Shares and 45,595,933 Shares, respectively. As each of Skyworld-Best, Wealthy Surplus and Glory Global is wholly-owned by Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma is taken to have an interest in a total of 185,372,097 Shares (excluding share options), representing 37.60% of the total Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. In the event the Directors were to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, and assuming the number of Shares held by Mr. Ma, Skyworld-Best, Wealthy Surplus and Glory Global and the number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date remain the same, the attributable shareholding percentage in Shares in issue in which Mr. Ma is taken to have an interest under the SFO (excluding share options) would increase to approximately 41.77% of the total number of Shares in issue. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in such mandatory offer obligation arising.
  2. PUBLIC FLOAT
    The Directors will ensure that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent that the number of Shares held by the public would be reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.
