LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Vesting period: Subject to the Grantees’ continued employment relationship with the Group, and conditional upon the performance targets to be achieved by the Grantees as set out in their respective form of award agreement between the Grantee and the Company and the approval of the Proposed Grant by the Shareholders at the AGM, the RSUs proposed to be granted shall vest in four installments, where:

(i) 25% of the RSUs shall vest within ten business days following the date of the AGM; and

(ii)	75% of the RSUs shall vest in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the Date of Grant, respectively.
According to the 2022 Share Incentive Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the time or times when awards may vest. The vesting period for the RSUs proposed to be granted to the Grantees is shorter than 12 months because such grants (i) are with a total vesting and holding period of more than 12 months; (ii) vest evenly over a period of 12 months or more; and (iii) are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, which are permitted by the 2022 Share Incentive Plan.
The Compensation Committee is of the view that such shorter vesting period is appropriate because (i) the total vesting and holding period for the grants is three years from the Date of Grant; (ii) only the first batch of 25% of the RSUs proposed to be granted to the Grantees will vest upon the Shareholder’s approval, and the rest 75% of the RSUs shall vest evenly over the course of three years from the Date of Grant; and (iii) only when the Grantees have met the predetermined performance-based vesting conditions, the first batch of RSUs to vest upon the Shareholder’s approval will actually vest; otherwise, the corresponding number of the RSUs shall be immediately forfeited and automatically lapse.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Performance targets and Clawback mechanism: The Group has established an appraisal mechanism to evaluate the performance of each Employee Participant during a fixed assessment period. The performance evaluation for each Employee Participant is individually tailored based on the job nature and job positions of the Employee Participant. In accordance with the Group’s appraisal mechanism, with respect to each Grantee, upon each vesting date, the portion of the RSUs eligible to vest will only actually vest to each Grantee provided that (i) the Grantee’s work performance assessment for the year preceding each vesting date has met the predetermined threshold outlined in their award agreement with the Company, and (ii) the Grantee has maintained a clean record with respect to compliance with the Company’s internal policies for the year preceding each vesting date.

In particular, the performance of each of Ms. Jingbo Wang (as the chairwoman of the Board) and Mr. Zhe Yin (as a Director and the CEO) for the year preceding each vesting date will be assessed based on several key performance indicators with reference to the achievement of the overall financial and operational goals of the Group as determined by the Board, including (a) the overall financial position of the Group, such as the Group’s total revenues and adjusted net income attributable to the Shareholders (non-GAAP) for the preceding year, and (b) the overall operating conditions of the Group, such as the implementation of the business strategy and the achievement of the operational goal in relation to business development and expansion, with a focus on the growth and reputation of the Group, its overseas expansion and its industry ranking, and benchmarking the Company’s key performance metrics against comparable companies in the same industry or with a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and/or NYSE or other comparable stock exchanges. In addition, Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin shall also comply with the internal policies of the Company during the year preceding each vesting date and maintain a clean record.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Failure to meet the above performance targets as set out in the form of award agreement between the Grantee and the Company shall render the underlying RSUs not vesting to relevant Grantees on the prescribed vesting date(s), and such RSUs shall be immediately forfeited and automatically lapse without action on the part of the Grantee and be of no further force and effect.

If the Committee determines that a Grantee has (i) used for profit or disclosed to unauthorized persons, confidential or trade secrets of the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) breached any contract with or violated any fiduciary obligation to the Company or its subsidiaries; or (iii) engaged in any conduct which the Committee determines is injurious to Company or its subsidiaries, the Committee may cause such Grantee to forfeit his or her outstanding awards under the 2022 Share Incentive Plan, subject to certain limitations set forth in the 2022 Share Incentive Plan.

If the Grantee’s employment or service terminates, any portion of the RSUs granted yet unvested on such termination date shall be immediately forfeited and automatically lapse without action on the part of the Grantee and be of no further force and effect.

Rights as Shareholders: No RSU gives the Grantee any of the rights of a Shareholder with respect to such RSUs unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such Grantee in connection with such RSU and such Grantee becomes a shareholder of record with respect to such Shares.

Once a Grantee becomes a shareholder of record with respect to the Shares subject to the RSU, the Grantee shall have all rights as a Shareholder, including but not limited to, voting rights, disposal rights, the rights to receive dividends and the rights to participate in any capital adjustment applicable to all holders of the Shares (including rights arising on a liquidation of the Company); provided, however, that a distribution or dividend with respect to Shares subject to vesting conditions shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Shares with respect to which such distribution was made.

The Board considers that the reasons and basis for the Proposed Grant are to (i) recognize the contributions made to the Group by the Grantees, who have led the Group to achieve corporate goals and development over the past years, especially their significant engagement in building new businesses and developing new markets abroad for extended periods to implement the globalization strategy of the Group; (ii) encourage, motivate and retain the Grantees, whose contributions are key to expanding the Group’s global footprint and beneficial to the continual operation, development and long-term growth of the Group, to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and the Shares by further leveraging their industry expertise and extensive knowledge on wealth management and asset management; and (iii) closely align the interests and benefits of and risk sharing among the Shareholders, the Company and the Grantees in order to maximize the motivation of the Grantees.

2 As of the date of the Grant Announcement, following the grant of RSUs to the other 45 Employee Participants as set out in the Grant Announcement and upon the Proposed Grant becoming unconditional and effective after the approval by the Shareholders at the AGM, 18,174,625 underlying Shares were available for future grants under the Scheme Mandate Limit, among which 600,000 underlying Shares will be available for future grants under the Service Provider Sublimit.

Since the Date of Grant and up to the Latest Practicable Date, (a) among the total of 829,241 RSUs involving an aggregate of 8,292,410 Shares granted to the other 45 Employee Participants, 3,000 RSUs involving 30,000 Shares were subsequently forfeited and automatically lapsed following the grant on the Date of Grant due to the circumstances that certain grantees subject to such grant failed to meet the performance target stipulated in their award agreements, and (b) among the total of 175,396 RSUs involving an aggregate of 1,753,960 Shares granted on December 29, 2023, 4,685 RSUs involving 46,850 Shares were subsequently forfeited and automatically lapsed due to certain grantees’ employment with the Group being terminated.

Pursuant to the 2022 Share Incentive Plan and Note (1) to Rule 17.03B(2) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, to the extent that an award lapsed in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Share Incentive Plan, then Shares underlying such award shall not be regarded as utilized for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit and the Service Provider Sublimit, and shall remain available for the grant in the future. As a result, immediately following the Proposed Grant becoming unconditional and effective after the approval by the Shareholders at the AGM, the Shares available for future grants under the Scheme Mandate Limit increased by 76,850 Shares to 18,251,475 Shares following such forfeiture and lapse.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition to the management of all functional departments and supervising the operation and strategic development of the Group, Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin made significant contributions in leading the Company to have realized multiple key achievements in 2023. Under the astute guidance of Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin, the Group has continually refined its offerings to directly cater to the evolving requirements of its Mandarin-speaking clientele. Their proactive approach has fortified the resilience of the clients’ portfolios in the face of challenging market dynamics. Recognizing the imperative for diversified investment portfolios and global opportunities, Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin pioneered the establishment of the Group’s overseas business segment years ago. Their foresight led to the implementation of a robust overseas expansion strategy, in response to the growing client demand for global asset allocation. With Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin at the helm, the Group’s concerted efforts in executing its overseas expansion strategy have yielded substantial results. By the end of 2023, the Group’s overseas AUM surged by 7.6% to reach US$5.1 billion, accompanied by a remarkable 73.0% increase in the Group’s overseas net revenue compared to 2022. These outcomes underscore the effectiveness of the strategic initiatives of the Group in expanding its global presence, driven by the vision and expertise of Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin, who have been instrumental in setting the overall business direction and making key decisions.

The reasons for the Proposed Grant are to provide incentives for Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin to exert maximum efforts and reward continued efforts for the success of the Group, and to provide a means by which Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin may be given an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Shares through the Proposed Grant. Under the leadership of Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin, the strategic decisions and proactive measures made by the management team of the Group have enhanced profitability, diversified revenue streams, and ensured business continuity of the Group over the recent years. Their collaborative and visionary approach has earned trust, making the Group resilient and forward-thinking.

The Proposed Grant serves as a strategic tool to align the interests and benefits of Shareholders, the Company, and the Grantees. By offering long-term equity incentives, the Proposed Grant fosters a sense of ownership among the Grantees, aligning their interests closely with the Company’s success. As Shareholders themselves through equity incentives, the Grantees are motivated to make decisions that enhance the Share value and Shareholder value, thereby mitigating risks and conflicts and promoting the long-term sustainability of the Company.

The Proposed Grant also encourages profit and risk sharing among the Grantees and the Shareholders. In line with the Group’s operational strategy to optimize the compensation structure in the current challenging environment, equity incentives, such as RSUs, are granted or proposed to be granted to employees who are assigned to work directly contributing to the Group’s overall financial and operational performance as part of their compensation package in lieu of cash. In particular, with respect to the Proposed Grant, the RSUs to be granted will be subject to the achievement of certain performance targets. Such compensation structure will, on one hand, link the compensation of the Grantees to the overall performance of the Group, thereby strengthening the profit and risk sharing among the Grantees, the Group and the Shareholders and, on the other hand, reduce the Group’s cash outflow so that resources can be allocated to prioritized needs, which is a proactive approach adopted by the Group to improve its operational efficiency in a challenging environment. In addition, by tying a portion of the Grantees’ compensation to the performance and value of the Shares, the Grantees are incentivized to make decisions that not only drive short-term gains but also ensure the Company’s long-term viability. This aligns with the interests of Shareholders who seek sustainable growth and value creation over time.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Moreover, the Proposed Grant serves as a retention tool, ensuring that key talent crucial for the Group’s growth and success remains committed to the Company. In a competitive market and industry where skilled professionals are in high demand, retaining top talent is essential for maintaining continuity and executing long-term strategic plans effectively. By rewarding the contributions of key management of the Company like Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin, the Proposed Grant reinforces their commitment to the Company’s vision and objectives.

Additionally, the Proposed Grant also facilitates transparency and accountability within the management of the Group. By linking compensation to performance metrics tied to the Share value and Shareholder value, the Company can establish clear expectations for its leadership team and hold them accountable for driving results that benefit all stakeholders. This not only enhances trust and confidence among Shareholders but also fosters a culture of accountability and performance-driven behavior throughout the management of the Group, which will benefit the Group as a whole.

The Compensation Committee and all independent Directors have reviewed and fully considered the Proposed Grant, and are of view that, (i) Ms. Jingbo Wang, as the chairwoman of the Board, and Mr. Zhe Yin, as a Director and the CEO, have made significant contributions to the Company in managing the overall operations and improving the performance of the Company; (ii) the vesting arrangement for the RSUs proposed to be granted to Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin is performance-based and serves as the appreciation and recognition for Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin’s contribution towards the growth of the Group; and (iii) the RSUs proposed to be granted to Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin will provide sufficient incentive to retain them and motivate them to create more value in the Group’s long-term development. Therefore, the Compensation Committee and all independent Directors are of view that the Proposed Grant and the vesting arrangement will closely align the purpose of the 2022 Share Incentive Plan and the interests and benefits of the Group, the Board and the management of the Group, and thus is appropriate, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Compensation Committee and all independent Directors approved the Proposed Grant and recommended the same for the approval by the Board and the independent Shareholders.

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Having considered the recommendations of the Compensation Committee and all independent Directors and the factors stated above, the Board (including the independent Directors) is of the view that the Proposed Grant recognizes the Grantees’ past contributions to the Group’s business performance and aims to secure their long-term support and commitment to the Group which is vital to the future development of the Group. The Board believes that the Proposed Grant serves as important incentives to motivate the Grantees to bring a higher return to the Company, which aligns the interests of the Grantees with the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and approved the same.

The Board, when determining such number of RSUs proposed to be granted to Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin, also considered the time commitment, duties and responsibilities of Ms. Jingbo Wang as the chairwoman of the Board and Mr. Zhe Yin as a Director and the CEO, took into account the remuneration package of similar positions of other comparable companies in the industry including listed companies, the achievements of the Company led by Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin for the past years, and the Group’s high potential in growth and further development under Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin’s guidance in the future. The Board (including the independent Directors) considered the number of RSUs proposed to be granted to the Grantees, the vesting arrangement and the other terms under the Proposed Grant appropriate and are aligned with the purpose of the 2022 Share Incentive Plan.

Hong Kong Listing Rules Implications

Pursuant to Rules 17.02(2)(c) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, none of the Directors is a trustee of the 2022 Share Incentive Plan or has a direct or indirect interest in the trustee of the 2022 Share Incentive Plan, if any.

Pursuant to Rules 17.04(2) and 17.04(4) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, as the Proposed Grant to Ms. Jingbo Wang, the chairwoman of the Board, and Mr. Zhe Yin, a Director and the CEO, would result in the Shares issued and to be issued in respect of all awards granted (excluding any awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Share Incentive Plan) to each of Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin in the 12-month period up to and including the Date of Grant, representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the issued Shares, the Proposed Grant shall be approved by the Shareholders at the AGM whereby Ms. Jingbo Wang and Mr. Zhe Yin, and his/her associates and all core connected persons of the Company shall abstain from voting in favor for relevant Proposed Grant to her/him at the AGM.

The Proposed Grant as mentioned above has been approved by the independent Directors pursuant to Rule 17.04(1) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. As mentioned above, the independent Directors are of view that the Proposed Grant will closely align the purpose of the 2022 Share Incentive Plan and the interests and benefits of the Group, the Board and the management of the Group, and thus is appropriate and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND CONTINUING APPOINTMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR WHO HAS SERVED MORE THAN NINE YEARS

According to Article 77(b) of the Articles of Association, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board, subject to the Company’s compliance with director nomination procedures required under applicable New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules, as long as the Company’s ADSs are traded on the NYSE. Any Director so appointed shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting.

Mr. Kai Wang and Ms. Cynthia Jinhong Meng were appointed as a non-executive Director and an independent Director respectively on August 29, 2023, will hold office until the AGM, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Pursuant to Code Provision B.2.2 of the Corporate Governance Code, every director, including those appointed for a specific term, should be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. As such, Mr. Boquan He and Mr. Jinbo Yao will retire as Directors by rotation at the AGM. Mr. Boquan He and Mr. Jinbo Yao, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Pursuant to Code Provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code, if an independent non-executive director serves an issuer for more than nine years, any further appointment of such an independent non-executive director should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the shareholders. Since Mr. Jinbo Yao was appointed as an independent Director on November 7, 2014, he has served as an independent Director for more than nine years as of date of the AGM, a separate resolution will be proposed at the AGM to further appoint Mr. Jinbo Yao as an independent Director.

The Company has in place a nomination policy for nomination of directors (the “Director Nomination Policy”) pursuant to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter which includes the nomination procedures and the process and criteria adopted by the Committee to select and recommend candidates for directorship. Such policy ensures that the Board has a balance of skills, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of the Company’s business. In assessing the re-election of Mr. Boquan He and Mr. Kai Wang as non-executive Directors, and Ms. Cynthia Jinhong Meng and Mr. Jinbo Yao as independent Directors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board considered their respective contribution and service to the Company, and reviewed their respective expertise and professional qualifications to determine whether each of Mr. Boquan He, Mr. Kai Wang, Ms. Cynthia Jinhong Meng and Mr. Jinbo Yao satisfy the criteria under the Director Nomination Policy. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board also took into account the diversity aspects (including without limitation, gender, age, nationality, culture, educational background and professional experience) and were of the view that the election of Mr. Boquan He, Mr. Kai Wang, Ms. Cynthia Jinhong Meng and Mr. Jinbo Yao as Directors will further complement the Company’s corporate strategy, and promote the Board diversity. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee was satisfied that each of Mr. Boquan He, Mr. Kai Wang, Ms. Cynthia Jinhong Meng and Mr. Jinbo Yao has the required character, integrity and experience to continuously fulfill his/her role as Directors effectively.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board has received from Ms. Cynthia Jinhong Meng and Mr. Jinbo Yao their respective annual confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Each of them had no financial or family relationships with any Directors, senior management or substantial shareholders or single largest shareholders of the Company, each of them met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, and as of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not receive any notification from them that there has been a subsequent change of circumstances which affected their independence.

While serving on the Board for over nine years could be relevant to the assessment of independence of a Director, the Board was of the view that the independence of a Director cannot be solely determined by his/her period of service in the Company. In assessing the independence of Mr. Jinbo Yao, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considered his character and judgment with reference to their respective contribution to the Board.

Throughout Mr. Jinbo Yao’s directorship with the Company, he participated in Board meetings to give impartial advice and exercise independent judgment, and never engaged in any executive management. Taking into consideration of his independent scope of work in the past years, the Board considered that the long service of Mr. Jinbo Yao would not affect the exercise of his independent judgment and was satisfied that Mr. Jinbo Yao has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of an independent Director. In addition, Mr. Jinbo Yao did not hold seven or more listed company directorships as of the Latest Practicable Date and thus can give sufficient time and attention to the Company’s affairs. The Board was therefore of the view that Mr. Jinbo Yao meets the independence criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and that he is able to continue to fulfil his role as an independent Director. The Board believed that the continued tenure of Mr. Jinbo Yao will bring considerable stability to the Board and the Board will benefit greatly from the presence of Mr. Jinbo Yao, who has over time gained valuable insight into the Group.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

However, to enhance our corporate governance standards, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will also continuously assess the board composition of the Company from time to time and identify qualified candidate(s) as independent Director in the future. If deemed appropriate, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will make recommendations to the Board regarding suitable candidate(s) and corresponding succession plans in accordance with our Director Nomination Policy, taking into account the circumstances as a whole.

In view of the above, the Board, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, recommended Mr. Boquan He, Mr. Kai Wang, Ms. Cynthia Jinhong Meng and Mr. Jinbo Yao for re-election at the AGM. Biographical details of the aforementioned retiring Directors which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules, are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

4. PROPOSED GRANT OF REPURCHASE MANDATE AND ISSUANCE MANDATE

Repurchase Mandate

In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs on-market if and when appropriate and in accordance with Rule 10.06(1)(ii) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs of not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) as of the date of passing of such ordinary resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 330,077,775 issued Shares. Subject to the passing of relevant ordinary resolution and assuming that the number of issued Shares remains unchanged following the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 33,007,777 Shares. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Board had no present intention to cause the Company to repurchase any Shares and/or ADSs under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Repurchase Mandate shall be in force from the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM until: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Shareholders unless, by an ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the Repurchase Mandate is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or (b) revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever occurs first.

An explanatory statement required by the Hong Kong Listing Rules to be sent to all Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury Shares) and/or ADSs if and when appropriate and in accordance with Rule 13.36 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the grant of the Issuance Mandate to the Directors to issue, allot or deal with additional Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury Shares) and/or ADSs of not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) as of the date of passing of such ordinary resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 330,077,775 issued Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution and assuming that the number of issued Shares remains unchanged following the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the date of the AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued (or be sold or transferred out of treasury) pursuant to the Issuance Mandate will be 66,015,555 Shares.

After the passing of the relevant resolution in the AGM and until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held tentatively in May or June 2025, (i) the Company may issue no more than 22,527,740 Shares, accounting for approximately 6.82% of the Company’s voting rights as of the Latest Practicable Date, under the Issuance Mandate to the affected clients of the Camsing Incidents (as defined in the Prospectus) who accepted the settlement offer as of the Latest Practicable Date under the relevant RSU plan; and (ii) the Company may also issue no more than 12,128,310 Shares, accounting for approximately 3.67% of the Company’s voting rights as of the Latest Practicable Date, under the Issuance Mandate to the affected clients of the Camsing Incidents who might accept the settlement offer between passing the relevant resolution in the AGM and until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Shareholders to be held tentatively in May or June 2025. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company granted a total of 3,715,114 RSUs to 595 out of the total of 818 affected clients of the Camsing Incident. Each RSU allows the grantees to receive ten Shares (taken into account the Share Subdivision). The Company offered two RSU vesting plans (Plan A and Plan B) for the affected clients to choose from. Under Plan A, the Company would issue RSUs to affected clients based on a vesting schedule, whereby 10% of the RSUs would be vested immediately upon the acceptance of the settlement offer and the remaining 90% of the RSUs would be vested evenly in the following nine years. Under Plan B, on the third anniversary of the acceptance of the Offer (as defined in the Prospectus), the affected clients would either decide to (a) receive an entitlement to future investment returns generated by the Camsing Credit Funds (as defined in the Prospectus), while remaining unable to initiate claims against the Group; or (b) receive 40% of the RSUs, and on each subsequent anniversary, the Company would vest the remaining 60% of the RSUs evenly for the following six years. All RSUs issued within the period from contract inception to the third anniversary of contact shall not be vested until the investor chooses to retain the RSUs. For further details, please refer to Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements of the 2023 annual report of the Company.

Save as disclosed above, as of the Latest Practicable Date, the Board had no present intention to cause the Company to issue, allot or deal with additional Shares (including to sell or transfer treasury Shares) and/or ADSs under the Issuance Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed to approve the extension of the Issuance Mandate by adding the number of repurchased Shares under the Repurchase Mandate to the total number of Shares and/or ADSs which may be allotted and issued (or be sold or transferred out of treasury) by the Directors pursuant to the Issuance Mandate, provided that such additional amount shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the Shares in issue (excluding treasury Shares) as of the date of passing of such ordinary resolution. The Issuance Mandate shall be in force from the date of the passing of the relevant resolution at the AGM until: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of Shareholders unless, by an ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the Issuance Mandate is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or (b) revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever occurs first.

5. DECLARATION OF FINAL DIVIDEND AND SPECIAL DIVIDEND

The Board resolved to propose to the Shareholders (i) Final Dividend of RMB509.0 million (approximately US$70.4 million) in aggregate in respect of the year ended December 31, 2023, which will be paid out of the corporate actions budget equivalent to 50% of the non-GAAP net income attributable to Shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with the capital management and shareholder return policy of the Company adopted on November 29, 2023; and (ii) Special Dividend of RMB509.0 million (approximately US$70.4 million) in aggregate, which will be paid out of the accumulated return surplus cash from the years prior to 2023, to Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company as of the Dividend Record Date.

Based on the number of issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) as of the Latest Practicable Date, if declared and paid, (i) a Final Dividend of RMB1.54 (equivalent to approximately US$0.21, or approximately HK$1.67) per share (tax inclusive) in respect of the year ended December 31, 2023, and (ii) a non-recurring Special Dividend of RMB1.54 (equivalent to approximately US$0.21, or approximately HK$1.67) per share (tax inclusive), will be paid out to Shareholders who are entitled to dividends, both subject to adjustment to the number of Shares of the Company entitled to dividend distribution as of the record date for dividend distribution, and the equivalent U.S. dollars amount and Hong Kong dollars amount are also subject to exchange rate adjustment.

Subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the AGM, the proposed Final Dividend and Special Dividend will be payable to the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Dividend Record Date.

The Company will make further announcement in respect of the details of the dividend distribution, including but not limited to the Dividend Record Date, book closure dates, exchange rate and tax arrangements in due course and in accordance with the Articles of Association, applicable laws and regulations and the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Voting by holders of Shares

Where the chairman of the AGM acts as proxy and is entitled to exercise his/her discretion, he/she is likely to vote the Shares for the resolutions. As to any other business that may properly come before the AGM, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the persons named therein in accordance with their discretion. Where any holder of ordinary shares abstains from voting on any particular resolution, the votes attaching to such Shares will not be included or counted in the determination of the number of Shares present and voting for the purposes of determining whether such resolution has been passed (but they will be counted for the purposes of determining the quorum, as described above). The return of a form of proxy will not preclude the Shareholder from attending and voting in person at the AGM.

Voting by holders of ADSs

As the holder of record for all the ordinary shares represented by the ADSs, only Citibank, N.A. (or its custodian), in its capacity as depositary of the ADSs, may attend and vote (or cause its custodian to attend and vote) those ordinary shares at the AGM.

The Company has requested Citibank, N.A., as depositary of the ADSs, to distribute to ADS holders of record as of the ADS Record Date, the notice of the AGM, the proxy statement and an ADS voting instruction card. If you are a beneficial owner of ADSs registered in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution, that organization will provide you with the voting instructions rather than Citibank, N.A.

Upon timely receiving a duly completed ADS voting instructions card from an ADS holder in the manner specified, Citibank, N.A. will endeavor, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of ordinary shares represented by such ADSs in accordance with the instructions set forth in the ADS voting instructions as follows: given that voting takes place at the AGM by poll, Citibank, N.A. will vote the ordinary shares in accordance with the voting instructions received from ADS holders of record. If Citibank, N.A. does not receive the ADS voting instructions from an ADS holder on or before the date set forth in the ADS voting instruction card, such ADS holders, under the terms of the deposit agreement, dated as of November 9, 2010, as amended, by and among the Company, Citibank, N.A., as the depositary, and all holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the ADSs issued thereunder, will be deemed to have instructed Citibank, N.A. to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote the amount of ordinary shares represented by such ADSs unless the Company informs Citibank, N.A. that (a) it does not wish such proxy to be given, (b) substantial opposition exists, or (c) the rights of the holders of ordinary shares represented by ADSs may be materially adversely affected. Citibank, N.A. shall not under any circumstances exercise any discretion as to voting or vote, attempt to exercise the right to vote, or in any way make use of, for purposes of establishing a quorum or otherwise, the ordinary shares represented by ADSs except pursuant to and in accordance with the voting instructions timely received from ADS holders or as specifically contemplated in the deposit agreement for the ADSs.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

There is no guarantee that a holder of ADSs will receive the materials described above with sufficient time to enable such holder to return the ADS voting instruction card to Citibank, N.A. in a timely manner, in which case the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs may not be voted in accordance with your wishes.

Citibank, N.A. must receive your voting instructions in your ADS voting instruction card by no later than 10:00 a.m. on June 3, 2024, New York time, to enable the votes attaching to the Shares represented by your ADSs to be cast at the AGM.

Revocability of proxies and ADS instruction card

Any proxy given by a holder of Shares by means of a proxy form, and any voting instructions given by an ADS holder by means of an ADS voting instruction card, pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked: (a) for holders of Shares or ADSs, by submitting a written notice of revocation or a fresh ADS voting instruction card for ADSs, as the case may be, bearing a later date, which must be received by the deadlines for returning the proxy forms or ADS voting instruction card, as the case may be, set forth above, or (b) for holders of Shares only, by attending the AGM and voting in person at the AGM.

In accordance with Rule 13.39(4) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at the AGM shall be taken by poll and an announcement on the poll results will be published by the Company after the AGM in the manner prescribed under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, to provide information for all Shareholders to make a reasonably informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution with respect to the Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 330,077,775 issued Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution with respect to the Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM, and on the basis that the Company’s total issued Shares remains unchanged from Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to 33,007,777 Shares during the Repurchase Mandate period, representing 10% of the Company’s total issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) as of the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASING SHARES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to purchase Shares and/or ADSs in the market. The repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per share and/or ADS and/or its earnings per Share and/or ADS and will be made only when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and Shareholders.

The Directors have no present intention to cause the Company to repurchase any Shares and/or ADSs and they would exercise the power to repurchase only in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares and/or ADSs, if any, will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which includes funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Hong Kong Listing Rules, and applicable laws and regulations in the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and elsewhere (as the case may be).

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

The Directors consider that the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not have 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 Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023). The Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s working capital requirements or gearing levels that, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

– 36 –

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. TAKEOVERS CODE AND THE PUBLIC FLOAT REQUIREMENT

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares and/or ADSs pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Company’s voting right increases, this increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could 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 of the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the single largest Shareholder, Ms. Jingbo Wang, through certain entities controlled by her, beneficially owned 68,211,755 ordinary shares, representing approximately 20.67% of the issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares). In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the interests of the largest Shareholder will be increased to approximately 22.96% of the issued Shares of the Company (assuming that the number of issued Shares remains unchanged following the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the date of the AGM).

As such, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate is not expected to give rise to an obligation of the largest Shareholder to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as a result of such repurchase, the number of Shares in public hands falls below 25% of the total number of issued Shares. To the best knowledge of the Company, the public float of the Company is approximately 52.83% as of the Latest Practicable Date. For illustrative purposes only, assuming the Shares in issue remain unchanged from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the public float of the Company will reduce to approximately 47.59% in the event of the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate, which is still above the 25% requirement under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

6. CONFIRMATION FROM THE DIRECTORS

The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge and belief, neither the explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not repurchase any Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or any other stock exchanges. During the previous six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date, no repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company otherwise.

9. GENERAL

None of the Directors, nor, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules), has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved, to sell any Shares to the Company.

No core connected person (as defined in the Hong Kong Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or that he/she/it has undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Neither this explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

10. INTENTION STATEMENT REGARDING REPURCHASED SHARES

Subject to the applicable requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules with effect from June 11, 2024, the Company may cancel the repurchased Shares following settlement of any such repurchase or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to, for example, market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases. Should the Company decide to hold repurchased Shares as treasury Shares, the Company will, upon completion of the Share repurchase, withdraw the repurchased Shares from CCASS and register the treasury Shares in the Company’s name.

The Company may re-deposit its treasury Shares into CCASS only if it has an imminent plan to resell them on the Stock Exchange, and it should complete the resale as soon as possible. For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Company will have appropriate measures to ensure that it would not exercise any Shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the relevant laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury Shares. These measures include, for example, an approval by the Board that (i) the Company should procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company should withdraw the treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in the Company’s name as treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.

Holders of treasury Shares (if any) shall abstain from voting on matters that require Shareholders’ approval at the Company’s general meetings.

FORM OF PROXY FOR ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

to be held on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) (or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof)

INTRODUCTION

This form of proxy (the “Form of Proxy”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors of Noah Holdings Private Wealth and Asset Management Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), of proxies from the holders of the issued ordinary shares of the Company with a par value of US$0.00005 per share (the “ordinary shares”) to be exercised at the annual general meeting of the Company (the “AGM”) to be held at 34/F, Tower Two, Times Square, 1 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 9:00 a.m., Hong Kong time (or 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, New York time), and at any adjourned meeting thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the AGM.

Only the holders of the ordinary shares at the close of business on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, Hong Kong time, as the record date are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM or any adjourned meeting thereof. Each ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters at the AGM. The quorum of the AGM is one or more shareholders, present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative, which carry in aggregate (or representing by proxy) not less than one-tenth of all votes attaching to all ordinary shares in issue and entitled to vote at the AGM.

The ordinary shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the Company will be voted at the AGM as indicated or, if no instruction is given, the holder of the proxy will vote the ordinary shares in his/her/its discretion, unless a reference to the holder of the proxy having such discretion has been deleted and initialed on this Form of Proxy. Where the chairman of the AGM acts as proxy and is entitled to exercise his/her discretion, he/she is likely to vote the ordinary shares for the resolutions. As to any other business that may properly come before the AGM, all properly executed proxies will be voted by the persons named therein in accordance with their discretion. The Company does not presently know of any other business which may come before the AGM. However, if any other matter properly comes before the AGM, or any adjourned meeting thereof, which may properly be acted upon, unless otherwise indicated, the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matter in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders named therein. Any proxy given by a holder of ordinary shares by means of a proxy form, pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by submitting a written notice of revocation or a fresh proxy form bearing a later date, which must be received by the deadline for returning the proxy forms set forth above, or by attending the AGM. Holders of American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) should not use this form to vote, but must follow the instructions provided by Citibank, N.A., as depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”), to ADS holders on how to instruct the Depositary to vote the ordinary shares represented by their ADSs. Any questions on how an ADS holder may instruct the Depositary to vote ordinary shares represented by ADSs should be directed to the Depositary.

You may instruct your proxy to vote some or all of the ordinary shares in respect of which the proxy is appointed either for or against any resolution and/or abstain from voting as such proxy need not cast the votes in respect of your ordinary shares in the same way on any resolution. In this case, please specify in the voting boxes the number of ordinary shares in respect of which your proxy is to vote for or against or to abstain in respect of each resolution.

To be valid, this Form of Proxy must be completed, signed and returned to Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and no later than 9:00 a.m. on June 10, 2024, Hong Kong time, to ensure your representation at the AGM.
