Attachment 1: Report on Amendments to the Company Charter
In light of certain circumstances pertaining to the Company, it is necessary to amend the Company’s Articles of Association. The specific circumstances requiring such amendment and the corresponding amendments are set out below:
I. Circumstances for Amendment
1. Pursuant to the authorization granted at the First Extraordinary General Meeting in 2015 and the resolution passed at the 21st Meeting of the 7th Board of Directors, the Company has completed the repurchase and cancellation of 474,894 restricted shares under the 2015 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan, resulting in a change in the Company’s registered capital from RMB 855,908,981 to RMB 855,434,087.
2. Pursuant to the resolution passed at the First Extraordinary General Meeting in 2019, the Company has completed the repurchase and cancellation of 12,221,580 restricted shares under the 2016 Restricted Stock Incentive Plan, resulting in a change in the Company’s registered capital from RMB 855,434,087 to RMB 843,212,507.
3. On October 26, 2018, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress reviewed and adopted the Decision on Amending the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China, thereby providing a legal basis for improving the share repurchase regime, expanding the circumstances under which shares may be repurchased, simplifying the decision-making procedures for implementing repurchases, and establishing a treasury stock system. On January 11, 2019, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange revised and issued the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Share Repurchases by Listed Companies of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. In light of these developments, the Company proposes to amend its Articles of Association to revise relevant provisions concerning the circumstances for share repurchases, the methods of repurchase, and the internal decision-making procedures, thus laying the groundwork for future capital operations.
