LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE BUYBACK AND ISSUANCE MANDATES

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 May 2020, general mandates were granted to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares and to issue new Shares respectively. Such mandates, to the extent not utilized by the date of the Annual General Meeting, will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase and issue Shares if and when appropriate, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

  1. to repurchase Shares, on the Stock Exchange or on any other stock exchange recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange, of not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. a total of 514,032,600 Shares on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company of 5,140,326,000 Shares remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the "Buyback Mandate");
  2. to allot, issue or deal with Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. a total of 1,028,065,200 Shares on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company of 5,140,326,000 Shares remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the "Issuance Mandate"); and
  3. to extend the Issuance Mandate by adding the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Buyback Mandate.

The Buyback Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the Annual General Meeting or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in items 7 and 8 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 18 to 23 of this circular.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company shall send to Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Buyback Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Buyback Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Articles of Association, three of the existing Directors, namely, Mr. Zhong Pengyi, Mr. Wang Bin and Mr. Pao Ping Wing, shall retire at the Annual General Meeting. All of the above retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee of the Company 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 and Director Nomination Policy and the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of the Independent Non-executive Directors.

Mr. Pao Ping Wing, the retiring Independent Non-executive Director, has confirmed his independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. He has served as an Independent Non-executive Director for more than 9 years. Notwithstanding his years of service as an Independent Non-executive Director, Mr. Pao Ping Wing continues to demonstrate the ability to provide an independent, balanced and objective view to the Company's matters. The Nomination Committee and the Company thus considered that the retiring Independent Non- executive Director is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules.

The Nomination Committee and the Board believe that the extensive experience of Mr. Zhong Pengyi, Mr. Wang Bin and Mr. Pao Ping Wing will continue to make contribution to the Board and 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 Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders' approval at that relevant general meeting. The requisite details of the above three retiring Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Accordingly, all the proposed resolutions will be put to vote by way of poll at the Annual General Meeting. An announcement on the poll vote results will be published by the Company after the Annual General Meeting in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.maoye.cn).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. GENERAL INFORMATION

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

Yours faithfully,

By order of the Board

Maoye International Holdings Limited

Mr. Huang Mao Ru

Chairman

Hong Kong, 21 April 2021

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK 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 Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Buyback Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR SHARE BUYBACK

The Directors believe that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is in the interests of the Company, the Group and the Shareholders.

Repurchases of Shares 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 Buyback 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.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 5,140,326,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 7 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 5,140,326,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force, a total number of 514,032,600 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

- 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be funded by the Company's internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

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 31 December 2020) in the event that the Buyback 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 Buyback Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time befitting the Company.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders' interest, 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Huang Mao Ru, the Chairman of the Board, and parties acting in concert with him were interested in 4,250,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 82.68% of the total issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that (i) the issued share capital of the Company (being 5,140,326,000 Shares) remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting and (ii) the shareholding of Mr. Huang Mao Ru and parties acting in concert with him in the Company (being 4,250,000,000 Shares) remains unchanged immediately after the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Buyback Mandate, the shareholding interest of Mr. Huang Mao Ru and parties acting in concert with him would, based on their current shareholding, be increased to approximately 91.87% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which would give rise to an obligation on the part of Mr. Huang Mao Ru and parties acting in concert with him to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors will not make any repurchase of Shares if the repurchase would result in the number of issued Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below the public float percentage as required under the Listing Rules and agreed by the Stock Exchange.

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor 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 Buyback 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 Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make any repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
