As part of our continuous efforts to protect the environment and also pursuant to new Rule 2.07A¹ of the Rules (the "Listing Rules") Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange") and the articles of association of CONVENIENCE RETAIL ASIA LIMITED (the "Company"), the Company will disseminate the future corporate communications of the Company (the "Corporate Communications"²) to its Shareholders³ electronically and only send Corporate Communications in printed form to the Shareholders upon request.

In this connection, the following arrangements came into effect on 31 December 2023.

Arrangements

1. Actionable Corporate Communications⁴

   The Company will send the Actionable Corporate Communications to 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.

2. Corporate Communications

   The Company will make the Corporate Communications available on its website (www.cr-asia.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.

Provision of Shareholder's Email Address to the Company

In support of electronic communication by email, the Company recommends its Shareholders to provide the Company with their email address at any time by reasonable notice in writing to the Company's Hong Kong branch share registrar at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong or by email to cra-ecom@hk.tricorglobal.com.

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 Hong Kong branch share registrar at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong or by email to cra-ecom@hk.tricorglobal.com, send future Corporate Communications and Actionable Corporate Communications and/or the relevant Corporate Communications and Actionable 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 and Actionable Corporate Communications in printed form of a Shareholder will be valid unless being revoked or superseded or until expired on 31 December 2028 (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.
