announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability
whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this
announcement.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those
defined in the prospectus dated Thursday, December 12, 2024 (the “Prospectus ”) of Xiaocaiyuan International
Holding Ltd. (the “Company ”).
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to induce an offer
by any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any of the securities of the Company. This announcement is not a
prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for detailed information about the Global Offering described
below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Offer Shares. Any investment decision in relation to the Offer
Shares should be taken solely in reliance on the information provided in the Prospectus.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale
of Offer Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sales would be unlawful. This announcement is
not for release, publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or any other jurisdiction
where such distribution is prohibited by law, nor is this announcement an offer for sale or solicitation to purchase or
subscribe for securities in the United States or any other jurisdictions. The Offer Shares have not been, and will not
be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “U.S. Securities
Act”), or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or transferred within the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act
(the “Regulation S ”)) except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the
U.S. Securities Act. The Offer Shares are being offered and sold outside the United States in offshore transactions in
accordance with Regulation S. There will be no public offering of the Offer Shares in the United States.
In connection with the Global Offering, UBS AG Hong Kong Branch, as the stabilizing manager (the “Stabilizing
Manager ”) (or any person acting for it), on behalf of the Underwriters, may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws
of Hong Kong or elsewhere, effect transactions with a view to stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the Shares
at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period after the Listing Date. However, there is
no obligation on the Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting for it) to conduct any such stabilizing action, which, if
taken, (a) will be conducted at the sole and absolute discretion of the Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting for it)
and in what the Stabilizing Manager reasonably regards as the best interest of the Company, (b) may be discontinued
at any time, and (c) is required to be brought to an end within 30 days after the last day for lodging applications under
the Hong Kong Public Offering. Such stabilization action, if taken, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is
permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including
the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules (Chapter 571W of the Laws of Hong Kong), as amended, made
under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Potential investors should be aware that no stabilizing action can be taken to support the price of the Shares for longer
than the stabilization period which begins on the Listing Date, and is expected to expire on Thursday, January 16,
2025, the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. After this
date, when no further stabilizing action may be taken, demand for the Shares, and therefore the price of the Shares,
could fall.
The Hong Kong Offer Shares will be offered to the public in Hong Kong subject to the terms and conditions set out
in the Prospectus. The Hong Kong Offer Shares will not be offered to any person who is outside Hong Kong and/
or not resident in Hong Kong. Potential investors of the Offer Shares should note that the Joint Sponsors and the
Overall Coordinators (for themselves and on behalf of the Hong Kong Underwriters) shall be entitled to terminate their
obligations under the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement with immediate effect upon the occurrence of any of the
events set out in the section headed “Underwriting Underwriting Arrangements and Expenses Hong Kong Public

Date.

1. PRC investors are currently not permitted under applicable PRC laws to participate directly in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) in Hong Kong. However,
PRC investors are permitted to invest in products issued by appropriate domestic securities firms licensed to undertake cross-border derivatives trading
activities. In connection with such products, the licensed domestic securities firms, through their Hong Kong affiliates, may participate in Hong Kong
IPOs either as placees or cornerstone investors (the “Cross-border Derivatives Trading Regime”). Huatai Securities Co., Ltd. (“Huatai Securities”),
the shares of which are listed on both the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 601688) and the Stock Exchange (stock code: 6886), is one of the
domestic securities firms licensed to undertake cross-border derivatives trading activities. Huatai Securities entered into an ISDA agreement (the “ISDA
Agreement”) with its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, HTCI to set out the principal terms of any future total return swap between Huatai Securities
and HTCI. Pursuant to the ISDA Agreement, HTCI, which intends to participate in the Global Offering as a placee, will hold the Offer Shares on a non-
--- page 12 ---
discretionary basis as the single underlying holder under a back -to-back total return swap (the “ Back-to-back TRS ”) to be entered by HTCI in
connection with a Client TRS (as defined below) placed by and fully funded (i.e. with no financing provided by HTCI) by the Huatai Ultimate Client
(as defined below), by which, HTCI will pass the full economic exposure of the Offer Shares to the Huatai Ultimate Client, which in effect, HTCI will
hold the beneficial interest of the Offer Shares on behalf of the Huatai U ltimate Client. Pursuant to the Cross -border Derivatives Trading Regime, the
onshore investor (the “Huatai Ultimate Client”) cannot directly subscribe for the Offer Shares but may invest in derivative products issued by domestic
securities firms licenced to undertake cross -border derivatives trading activities, such as Huatai Securities, with the Offer Shares as the underlying
assets. Instead of directly subscribing for the Offer Shares, the Huatai Ultimate Client will place a total return swap order (the “ Client TRS”) with
Huatai Securities in connection with the Companys IPO and Huatai Securities will place a Back-to-back TRS order to HTCI on the terms of the ISDA
Agreement. In order to hedge its exposure under the Back -to-back TRS, HTCI participates in the Companys IPO and subscribes the Offer Shares
through placing order with HTFH during the International Offering. To the best knowledge of HTCI after making all reasonable enquiries, the Huatai
Ultimate Client is an independent third party of the Company and its associates. The purpose of HTCI to subscribe for the Offer Shares is for hedging
the Back-to-back TRS in connection with the Client TRS order placed by the Huatai Ultimate Client. Pursuant to the terms of the contracts of the Back-
to-back TRS and the Client TRS, during the tenor of the Back-to-back TRS and the Client TRS, all economic returns of the Offer Shares will be passed
to the Huatai Ultimate Client through the Back -to-back TRS and the Client TRS and all economic loss shall be borne by the Huatai Ultimate Client.
HTCI will not take any economic return or bear any economic loss in relation to the Offer Shares. Investment in the Back-to-back TRS and the Client
TRS is similar to the investment in a qualified domestic institutional investor fund (“QDII”) in the way that the Huatai Ultimate Client would reap all
the economic benefits of t he underlying Offer Shares, except that a QDII fund would pass through the exchange rate exposure on both the notional
value of the investment and the profit and loss of the investment. In contrast, the profit and loss of the Back-to-back TRS and the Client TRS factor into
account the fluctuation in RMB exchange rate upon termination of the Client TRS by converting the profit and loss using the current exchange rate at
the time of termination. As such, the Huatai Ultimate Client would bear the exchange rate exposure of the profit and loss on settlement date. The Huatai
Ultimate Client may exercise an early termination right to terminate the Client TRS at any time from the issue date of the Client TRS which should be
on or after the date on which the Offer Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange. Upon the termination upon maturity or early termination of the Client
TRS by the Huatai Ultimate Client, HTCI will dispose the Offer Shares on the secondary market and the Huatai Ultimate Client will receive a final
termination amount of the Back-to-back TRS which should have taken into account all the economic returns or economic loss in relation to the Offer
Shares. If upon the maturity of the Client TRS, the Huatai Ultimate Client intend to extend the investment period, subject to further agreement between
Huatai Securities and the relevant Huatai Ultimate Client, the term of the Client TRS could be extended by way of a new issuance or a tenor extension.
Accordingly, Huatai Securities will extend the term of the Back-to-back TRS by way of a new issuance or a tenor extension. It is proposed that HTCI
will hold the legal title and the voting right of the Offer Shares by itself, and pass through the economic exposure to the Huatai Ultimate Client, being
an onshore client who places a Client TRS order with Huatai Securities in connection with the IPO of the Company. Due to its internal policy, HTCI
will not exercise the voting right of the Offer Shares during the tenor of the Back -to-back TRS. During the life of the Cl ient TRS and Back -to-back
TRS, HTCI may continue to hold the Offer Shares in its custodian account, or to hold some or all of the Offer Shares in a prime brokerage account for

stock borrowing purposes. As permitted under the contractual arrangement with the Huatai Ultimate Client, HTCI will lend out its holding of underlying
Offer Shares in the form of stock borrowing loans consistent with market practice to lower its finance costs, provided that HTCI has the ability to call
back the Offer Shares on loan at any time in order to satisfy its obligations under the Back -to-back TRS to ensure the economic interests to be passed
to the Huatai Ultimate Client will remain unchanged. To the best knowledge of HTCI after making all reasonable inquiries, the Huatai Ultimate Client
is an independent third party of HTCI, HTFH and the companies which are members of the same group of HTFH.
The Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a consent under paragraph 5(1) of the Placing Guidelines to permit
the Company to allocate such Offer Shares in the International Offering to the connected clients listed above. The allocation of Offer Shares to such
connected client is in compliance with all the conditions under the consent granted by the Stock Exchange.
