Implementing the new securities law well and creating a new situation of high-quality development for the company.

Chairman Gao Liang, Financial Street Holdings Co., Ltd.

Implementing the new securities law has pushed China's capital market into a new era of development. Building a regulated, transparent, open, dynamic, and resilient capital market has become the consensus among all market participants. In this process of studying and implementing the new securities law, Financial Street Holdings has gained a deep understanding.

As the person in charge of the listed company Financial Street, I fully understand the importance of strictly following the law, establishing a bottom-line mindset, and effectively protecting the rights and interests of investors through years of practical work. I never take it lightly because I know that behind us are the rights and interests of thousands of employees, investors, and customers. We not only think this way but also strive to do so. Since the company's asset restructuring and listing in 2000, we have implemented cash dividends for 20 consecutive years, with a total of nearly 10 billion yuan in cash dividends.

The company's management team voluntarily participates in investor relations management, continuously contributing to the company's development and benefiting Financial Street. This year, while actively participating in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, Financial Street has actively innovated the content of investor relations management, proactively conducting online communication with investors and incorporating this communication into the company's financing work. During the pandemic, the company successfully issued three tranches of 7.3 billion yuan of commercial paper and an 8 billion yuan Financial Street Center Asset Support Special Plan, thanks to our long-standing high regard for investors and their support and trust in Financial Street.

After being included in the MSCI and FTSE indices in 2018, the company faces more open international market requirements. How to keep investor relations management up-to-date and actively integrate with international standards is what we have been actively exploring in the past two years. With the gradual opening of China's capital market to the outside world, more and more investment institutions are increasing the weight of non-financial indicators when measuring the quality of listed companies, placing environmental performance, social performance, and corporate governance in a more important position. Listed companies that actively fulfill their social responsibilities have gained more support from investors.

"Long-lasting foundation, eternal building" is the green product concept that Financial Street adheres to. We follow the sustainable development management system, comprehensively plan green energy-saving throughout the project's life cycle, and implement the sustainable development concept of achieving the green building standard entirely. We also implement energy-saving requirements for the "four environmental protections" from project design, construction procurement, project delivery to property management.

In terms of fulfilling social responsibility, Financial Street demonstrates "responsibility" through practical actions. Since the beginning of 2020, the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has been urgent. In this critical and smokeless pandemic prevention and control war, the people of Financial Street have stepped up to their responsibilities. Regarding customer support, we took measures such as delaying payments and reducing rents to support small and micro customers affected by the pandemic. In terms of community protection, the people of Financial Street have taken on the responsibility, with nearly 400 volunteers and community workers joining forces to fight the pandemic.
