For any person who has acquired ordinary shares through private transactions or otherwise obtained the shares outside The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Hong Kong Stock Exchange”) and has not yet registered on the Company’s share register, in order to qualify for the dividend, you need to submit all valid documents for the transfers of shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates to either (i) the Company’s Hong Kong Share Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, or (ii) the Company’s Principal Share Registrar, Maples Fund Services (Cayman) Limited, c/o Maples Fund Services (Asia) Limited, at 16/F, Central Plaza, 18 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, respectively, in each case not later than 4:30 p.m. on December 21, 2023, Hong Kong Time.
To Holders of ADSs	The dividend to be paid to the holders of the Company’s ADSs through the depositary bank will be subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, including the fees and expenses payable thereunder. The Company’s depositary bank has posted and will post additional announcements related to the dividend on its website.
Temporary Suspension of Conversion between Ordinary Shares and ADSs	Per standard operations of the Company’s depositary bank, to fix the holders of ordinary shares and holders of ADSs who will be entitled to the dividend, conversion between the Company’s ADSs and ordinary shares will be suspended between the close of business on December 15, 2023, New York Time and close of business on December 21, 2023, New York Time.

	Trading of our ordinary shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and trading of our ADSs on the New York Stock Exchange will not be affected by the suspension of conversions between the Company’s ADSs and ordinary shares.
