approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The provision of deposit services to the Group under the Financial Services Agreement also constitutes the provision of financial assistance by the Group to Hisense Finance under Rule 14.04(1)(e) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders'
approval requirements thereunder. SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL BUSINESS FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated
