(I) Analysis of the possible impact of this share repurchase on the Company’s daily operation, finance, research and development, profitability, debt performance, future development, maintenance of the status of listed company, etc.

As at 31 March 2023, the Company had the total assets of RMB71.256 billion and the current assets of RMB37.273 billion. In case the maximum repurchase amount of RMB1 billion is fully used up, the repurchase funds will represent approximately 1.40% of the Company’s total assets and 2.68% of its current assets based on financial data as at 31 March 2023.

Based on its current operation, finance and future development, the Company believes that the share repurchase amount no more than RMB1 billion (inclusive) while no less than RMB500 million (inclusive) will not pose a significant impact on its operation, finance and future development, and that the implementation of the share repurchase plan will neither lead to changes in its control, nor lead to its equity distribution not meeting the listing conditions.

1.

2. The implementation of the Company’s share repurchase is conducive to safeguarding the interests of the Company and its investors, stabilizing investor expectations, enhancing market confidence and promoting a reasonable return of the Company’s stock value, so such a share repurchase plan of the Company is necessary;

3. The total funds to be used for this repurchase accounts for a relatively low proportion of the total assets and current assets of the Company in the latest period, and the source of funds is its self-owned funds. Such a share repurchase will neither pose a significant impact on the Company’s operation, finance and future development, nor cause the Company’s equity distribution to fail to meet the listing conditions, so such a share repurchase plan of the Company is feasible;

4. This repurchase is carried out by means of centralized competitive trading, and there is no harm to the interests of the Company and all its shareholders, especially small and medium-sized shareholders
