POLL RESULTS OF THE EGM

The EGM was held at the Conference Room on Second Floor, CEA Development Co., Ltd., Auxiliary Building, No. 99 Konggang Third Road, Changning District, Shanghai, the PRC (中國上海市長寧區空港三路 99 號東航實業集團有限公司輔樓二樓會議室) on Friday, 27 August 2021. Shareholders of the Company representing 3,994,373,256 shares of the Company (the “Shares”) were present, in person or by proxy, at the EGM. The EGM was validly convened in compliance with the relevant requirements under the Company Law of the PRC and the articles of association of the Company (the “Articles of Association”).

As at the date of the EGM, the aggregate number of Shares in issue of the Company was 16,379,509,203, including 11,202,731,426 A Shares and 5,176,777,777 H Shares. As disclosed in the Circular, CEA Holding, together with parties acting in concert with it (including CES Finance and CES Global (both being wholly-owned subsidiaries of CEA Holding), and Li Yangmin (a director of CEA Holding), holding 8,156,483,960 Shares of the Company in aggregate) were required to abstain and have abstained from voting in respect of the resolution proposed at the EGM.

As such, the aggregate number of Shares entitling Shareholders to attend the EGM and vote for or against or abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution was 8,223,025,243 Shares, representing approximately 50.20% of the Company’s total share capital in issue. Saved as disclosed above, there were no Shares entitling the Shareholders to attend the EGM and abstain from voting in favour of the resolution proposed at the EGM as set out in Rule 13.40 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Each resolution proposed for approval at the EGM was taken by poll.
