                MONTHLY UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO
                           RULE 3.7 OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

This announcement is made by Lanzhou Zhuangyuan Pasture Co., Ltd.*
       (the “Company”) pursuant to Rule 3.7 of The Code on Takeovers and Mergers issued by the
Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 17 December 2021 (the

repurchase of all the issued H shares in the share capital of the Company (the “H Shares”) by way

becomes unconditional, the voluntary application for the withdrawal of listing of the H Shares from
The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalised terms
used herein shall have the same meaning as those used in the Announcement.

PROGRESS OF THE POSSIBLE SHARE BUY-BACK

As disclosed in the Announcement, in order for the Company to transfer its funds for, amongst
others, financing the Possible Share Buy-back and the payment of professional fees and other
expenses to its account(s) in Hong Kong, the Company will apply for the required registration with
the relevant PRC regulatory authority and provide certain required information of the Possible Share
Buy-back to such authority (the “Fund Transfer Registration”).

The Board wishes to update the Shareholders and potential investors that the Company is still in the
course of preparing the required information for the Fund Transfer Registration.
