LETTER FROM THE BOARD

VOTING AT THE AGM

Pursuant to rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at general meetings must be taken by poll except where the chairman, 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.

In the case of an equality of votes on a poll, the chairman of the meeting shall, subject to the Articles of Association, be entitled to casting vote in addition to any other vote he may have.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules on the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the AGM.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE

This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you to enable you to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the Buy-back Resolution.

SHARES IN ISSUE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,184,000,000.

Subject to the passing of the Buy-back Resolution at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back following the Latest Practicable Date and up to the AGM Date, exercise in full of the Buy-back Mandate could accordingly result in up to 118,400,000 Shares, representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue (subject to adjustment in the case of subdivision and consolidation of Shares), being bought back by the Company during the period from the AGM Date up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held, or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by Shareholders in general meeting of the Company revoking or varying the Buy-back Mandate, whichever occurs first.

REASONS FOR BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it is appropriate to buy back Shares, they believe that an ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

FUNDING OF BUY-BACK

In buy-back of any Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. Share buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate will be made out of funds legally permitted to be utilised in this connection, including the funds from the distribution profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buy-back to such extent allowable under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position as at 31 December 2020, the date to which the most recent audited accounts of the Company were made up) in the event that buy-backs of Shares under the Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full during the period of the Buy-back Mandate. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Buy-back Mandate to such extent as it would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company, which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company under the Buy-back Mandate.

No core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notified the Company that they have any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the power of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-back Resolution passed by the Shareholders and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

SHARE BUY-BACK BY THE COMPANY

No Shares had been bought back by the Company in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

- 9 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE

TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT

If as a result of buy-back(s) of Shares by the Company, 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. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could, depending on the level of increase of his or their interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Sino-Ocean Group Holding Limited ("Sino-Ocean", together with its subsidiaries, the "Sino-Ocean Group"), through Shine Wind Development Limited, indirectly held 800,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 67.57% of the total number of Shares in issue. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to buy back Shares in accordance with the Buy-back Mandate, the shareholding of Sino-Ocean would be increased to approximately 75.08% of the total number of Shares in issue (subject to adjustment in the case of subdivision and consolidation of Shares). On this basis, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any buy-backs to be made under the Buy-back Mandate.

The Directors will use their best endeavours to ensure that the Buy-back Mandate will not be exercised to the extent that the percentage of total issued Shares held in public hands would fall below the minimum percentage prescribed by the Stock Exchange. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Buy-back Mandate which may result in possible mandatory offer being made under the Takeovers Code or the public float of the Company falling below the minimum percentage prescribed by the Stock Exchange.
