Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED
GRANTING OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES
AND REPURCHASE SHARES AND/OR ADSS,
PROPOSED
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS,
PROPOSED RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR,
AND
NOTICE OF THE
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
On
behalf of the Board, I would like to invite you to attend the AGM to be held at 21/F, GrandyVic Building, Taiyanggong Middle Road, Chaoyang
District, Beijing, China on Friday, June 28, 2024. The AGM will commence at 3 p.m. (Beijing time).
The
purpose of this circular is to give you notice of the AGM, and to provide you with information regarding the following proposals to be
put forward at the said meeting:
| (a) | the proposed grant of a general mandate to issue Shares; |
| (b) | the proposed grant of a general mandate to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs; |
| (c) | the proposed re-election of Directors; and |
| (d) | the proposed re-appointment of Auditor. |
2. | PROPOSED GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES |
At
the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 26, 2023, the Directors were given a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with
Shares. Such mandate, to the extent not utilized by the date of the AGM, will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
Upon
the Proposed Amendments to the Listing Rules as to Treasury Shares coming into effect on June 11, 2024, in order to give the Company the
flexibility to issue Class A Ordinary Shares (including any sale or transfer of Treasury Shares) if and when appropriate, without needing
to convene a general meeting for each and every such issuance, sale and/or transfer of Treasury Shares, an ordinary resolution will be
proposed at the AGM to approve the granting of a general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with Class A Ordinary Shares
(including any sale or transfer of Treasury Shares) not exceeding 15% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any Treasury Shares)
as at the date of passing of such resolution (the “Issuance and Resale Mandate”).
For
the avoidance of doubt, subject to Shareholders considering and approving, among others, the Issuance and Resale Mandate at the AGM, the
Company will only become able to utilize the Issuance and Resale Mandate to resell and/or transfer any Shares out of treasury and held
as Treasury Shares after the Proposed Amendments to the Listing Rules as to Treasury Shares come into effect on June 11, 2024.
As
at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued and outstanding shares of the Company comprised 748,837,967 Class A Ordinary Shares and 139,216,577
Class B Ordinary Shares (excluding the 2,098,960 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the Depositary for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved for
future issuances upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted under the Share Incentive Plans as of the Latest Practicable Date). Subject
to the passing of the ordinary resolution 8 and on the assumption that the issued and outstanding shares of the Company remain unchanged
as at the date of the AGM, i.e. being 888,054,544 Shares, the Company will be allowed to issue (or transfer out of the treasury) a maximum
of 133,208,182 Class A Ordinary Shares. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares (including
the sale or transfer of Treasury Shares) pursuant to the Issuance and Resale Mandate.
In
addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution 10, the number of Shares and/or ADSs purchased by the Company under
ordinary resolution 9 will also be added to extend the Issuance and Resale Mandate as mentioned in ordinary resolution 8 provided that
such additional amount shall represent up to 10% of the number of issued Shares (excluding any Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing
the resolutions in relation to the Issuance and Resale Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate (as defined below).
Details
of the Issuance and Resale Mandate are set out in ordinary resolution 8 in the notice of the AGM set out on pages 25 to 26 of this circular.
The Issuance and Resale Mandate (including the extended Issuance and Resale Mandate), if granted, will expire upon whichever is the earliest
of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual
general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or by applicable Laws to be held; and (c) the date on which
the authority given under the ordinary resolution approving the Issuance and Resale Mandate (including the extended Issuance and Resale
Mandate), is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.
3. | PROPOSED GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND/OR ADSS |
At
the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 26, 2023, the Directors were given a general mandate to repurchase Shares. Such
mandate, to the extent not utilized by the date of the AGM, will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
In
order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs if and when appropriate, without needing to convene a general
meeting for each and every such repurchase, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the granting of a new general
mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs representing up to 10% of the total number
of issued Shares (excluding any Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of such resolution (the “Repurchase Mandate”).
As
at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued and outstanding shares of the Company comprised 748,837,967 Class A Ordinary Shares and 139,216,577
Class B Ordinary Shares (excluding the 2,098,960 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the Depositary for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved for
future issuances upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted under the Share Incentive Plans as of the Latest Practicable Date). Subject
to the passing of the ordinary resolution 9 and on the assumption that the issued and outstanding shares of the Company remain unchanged
as at the date of the AGM, i.e. being 888,054,544 Shares, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 88,805,454 Class A Ordinary
Shares.
An
explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate
is set out in Appendix I to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders
to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the AGM.
The
Repurchase Mandate, if granted, will expire upon whichever is the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of
the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles
of Association or by any applicable Laws to be held; and (c) the date on which the authority given under the ordinary resolution approving
the Repurchase Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.
4. | PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE DIRECTORS |
Pursuant
to Article 94(d) of the Articles of Association, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a
multiple of three, then the number nearest to, but not less than, one-third) shall retire from office by rotation and shall be eligible
for re-election at every annual general meeting, provided that every Director (including every independent non-executive Director and/or
those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. Accordingly, Mr. Peng
Zhao, Mr. Tao Zhang and Ms. Xiehua Wang, shall retire at the AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.
Pursuant to Article 94(e) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Yan Li and Ms. Mengyuan Dong, who was appointed as an independent non-executive
Director with effect from October 18, 2023 and May 21, 2024, respectively, will hold office until the AGM and, being eligible, will offer
themselves for re-election.
The
Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors,
the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination
principles and criteria set out in the Company’s Board diversity policy, Director Nomination Policy and the Company’s corporate
strategy. The Nomination Committee and the Board are satisfied with all the retiring Directors’ contribution to the Company, which
will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning
and diversity. The Nomination Committee and the Board therefore recommended the re-election of all the retiring Directors who are due
to retire at the AGM.
At
the time of appointment as an independent non-executive Director, Mr. Yan Li and Ms. Mengyuan Dong have confirmed their independence with
reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Mr. Yan Li has submitted to the Stock Exchange a written confirmation
concerning his independence to the Company. Mr. Yan Li has confirmed that there is no subsequent change of circumstances which may affect
his independence which would require him to inform the Stock Exchange. The Company has received written annual confirmation from Mr. Yan
Li on his independence in accordance with the Listing Rules. Ms. Mengyuan Dong has confirmed her independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of
the Listing Rules in her confirmation of independence and understanding of director’s obligations letter.
In
determining the proposal to re-elect Mr. Yan Li and Ms. Mengyuan Dong as independent non-executive Directors, (i) the Board and the Nomination
Committee of the Company has assessed and reviewed the annual confirmation of independence based on the criteria set out in Rule 3.13
of the Listing Rules of Mr. Yan Li, and confirmation of independence and understanding of director’s obligations letter from Ms.
Mengyuan Dong, and is satisfied of the independence of Mr. Yan Li and Ms. Mengyuan Dong; (ii) the Nomination Committee and the Board of
the Company have reviewed the biographies of Mr. Yan Li and Ms. Mengyuan Dong and Mr. Yan Li’s past performance, and assessed their
suitability to be re-elected based on their reputation for integrity and extensive working experience having regard to the Board diversity
policy adopted by the Company; and (iii) the Board is satisfied that through exercising the scrutinising and monitoring function of an
independent non- executive Director, Mr. Yan Li and Ms. Mengyuan Dong provide independent and objective judgments and advice to the Board
to safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Mr.
Yan Li is currently the chairman of the Nomination Committee and Corporate Governance Committee, and a member of the Audit Committee of
the Company. He has been demonstrating firm commitments to his roles and always places great importance on high standards of corporate
governance. Due to his professional skills and experience in management services, which span across various business sectors, including
intellectual property rights protection and technology development, Mr. Yan Li is able to provide valuable and useful guidance to the
Board. Being a member of the Board with extensive knowledge and experience, the Board considers that Mr. Yan Li’s professional knowledge
and experience contribute to the diversity of the Board.

APPENDIX
I |
EXPLANATORY
STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE |
The
following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed
decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Repurchase
Mandate.
1. | REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES AND/OR ADSS |
The
Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Repurchases
of Shares and/or ADSs may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net
asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company
the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms
upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
The
Directors would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests
of the Company and the Shareholders.
As
at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued and outstanding shares of the Company comprised 748,837,967 Class A Ordinary Shares and 139,216,577
Class B Ordinary Shares (excluding the 2,098,960 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the Depositary for bulk issuance of ADSs reserved for
future issuances upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted under the Share Incentive Plans as of the Latest Practicable Date). Subject
to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 7 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the granting of the Repurchase Mandate
and on the assumption that the issued and outstanding shares of the Company remain unchanged as at the date of the AGM, i.e. being 888,054,544
Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate
remains in force, up to a maximum of 88,805,454 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares (excluding
any Treasury Shares) as at the date of the AGM.
Repurchases
of Shares and/or ADSs will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purpose
in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the applicable Laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable
Laws, as the case may be.
APPENDIX
I |
EXPLANATORY
STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE |
There
might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed
in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023) in the event that the Repurchase
Mandate was 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 an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the
working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate
for the Company.
Following
a repurchase of Class A Ordinary Shares or Class A Ordinary Shares underlying ADSs, the Company may cancel any repurchased Shares and/or
hold them as Treasury Shares subject to, among others, market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the
repurchases, which may change due to evolving circumstances. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should pay attention
to any announcement to be published by the Company in the future, including but without limitation, any next day disclosure return (which
shall identify, amongst others, the number of repurchased shares that are to be held in treasury or cancelled upon settlement of such
repurchase, and where applicable, disclose the reasons for any deviation from the intention statement previous disclosed) and any relevant
monthly return.
For
any Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall, upon approval by the Board, implement
the below interim measures (collectively, the “Interim Measures”) which include (without limitation): (i) procuring
its broker not to give an instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; (ii) in the
case of dividends or distributions (if any and where applicable), the Company shall withdraw the Treasury Shares from CCASS, and either
re-register them in its own name as Treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the relevant record date for the dividend or distributions;
or (iii) take any other measures to ensure that the Company will not exercise any shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements
which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as Treasury Shares.
If,
on the exercise of the power to repurchase 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 the Takeovers
Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined under the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate
control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
APPENDIX
I |
EXPLANATORY
STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE |
As
at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the WVR Beneficiary was Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao, was interested
in an aggregate of 139,216,577 Class B Ordinary Shares and 413,824 Class A Ordinary Shares within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO, representing
approximately 65.04% of the voting rights in our Company. Pursuant to Rule 8A.15 of the Listing Rules, in the event that the Directors
exercise the Repurchase Mandate, the WVR Beneficiary must reduce his weighted voting rights in the Company proportionately through conversion
of a proportion of their shareholding into Class A Ordinary Shares, if the reduction in the number of Shares in issue (excluding any Treasury
Shares) would otherwise result in an increase in the proportion of Class B Ordinary Shares. As such, to the best knowledge and belief
of the Directors, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate is not expected to give rise to an obligation of Mr. Zhao to make a mandatory
offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations
under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers
Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares.
In
addition, the Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the relevant prescribed minimum percentage
of Shares in public hands as required by the Stock Exchange.
None
of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as
defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Repurchase
Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The
Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present
intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event
that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The
Directors will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares and/or ADSs pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance
with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, the Company has confirmed that neither the Explanatory
Statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.
