Pursuant to the amended Rule 2.07A1 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) (the “Listing Rules”) and the articles of association of Haitian International Holdings Limited (the “Company”), the Company will disseminate the future corporate communications of the Company (the “Corporate Communications”)2 to its shareholders3 (the “Shareholders”) electronically and shall only send Corporate Communications in printed form to the Shareholders upon request.

In this connection, the following arrangements will come into effect on 30 January 2024.

ARRANGEMENTS

  1. Actionable Corporate Communications4

The Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communications to the Shareholders individually in electronic form by email. If the Company does not possess the email address of a Shareholder or the email address provided is not functional5, the Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communications in printed form together with a request form for soliciting the Shareholder’s functional email address to facilitate electronic dissemination of Actionable Corporate Communications in the future, until such time when the Shareholder has provided a valid and functional email address to the Company’s branch share registrar as detailed in section “PROVISION OF SHAREHOLDER’S EMAIL ADDRESS TO THE COMPANY” below for receiving the same.

  1. Corporate Communications

The Company will make the Corporate Communications available on its website (www.haitianinter.com) and the Stock Exchange’s website (www.hkexnews.hk).

A notice of publication of the Website Version6 of Corporate Communications, in both English and Chinese, will be sent by the Company to Shareholders by email or by post (only if the Company does not possess the functional email address of a Shareholder) on the publication date of the Corporate Communications. It is the responsibility of the Shareholders to provide email address that is functional. If the Company does not possess the email address of a Shareholder or the email address provided is not functional, such Shareholder will be deemed, until such time when such Shareholder has provided a valid and functional email address to the Company’s branch share registrar as detailed in section “PROVISION OF SHAREHOLDER’S EMAIL ADDRESS TO THE COMPANY” below, to have elected to receive a notice of publication of the Website Version of Corporate Communications by post.

PROVISION OF SHAREHOLDER’S EMAIL ADDRESS TO THE COMPANY

In order for Shareholders to receive by email (1) the notice of the publication of the Website Version of Corporate Communications as and when they are published; and (2) all future Actionable Corporate Communications in electronic form from the Company, the Company strongly recommends the Shareholders to provide the Company with their email address at any time in future in writing to the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong or by email to Haitian.ecom@computershare.com.hk.

It is the responsibility of the Shareholders to provide email address that is functional. If the Company does not possess the email address of a Shareholder or the email address provided is not functional, the Company will act according to the above arrangements. The Company will be considered to have complied with the Listing Rules if it sends Actionable Corporate Communications to the email address provided by a Shareholder without receiving any “non-delivery message”.

REQUEST FOR PRINTED COPY OF CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS AND ACTIONABLE CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS

For those Shareholders who wish to receive a printed version of all future Corporate Communications and Actionable Corporate Communications or, if for any reason, have difficulty in gaining access to the Company’s website, the Company will, upon receipt of request in writing by the Shareholder to the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong or by email to Haitian.ecom@computershare.com.hk, send future Corporate Communications and/or the relevant Corporate Communications (as the case may be) to such Shareholders in printed form free of charge.

Please note that the preference in receiving Corporate Communications in printed form of a Shareholder will be valid unless being revoked or superseded or until expired on the last day of the following financial year of the Company (whichever is earlier). Further request in writing will be required if a Shareholder prefers to continue receiving printed copy of future Corporate Communications and Actionable Corporate Communications thereafter.
