Dear shareholders, customers and partners,In 2019, as supply surged and growth of demand slowed down, the global semi-conductordisplay industry entered a cold winter with great earning pressure.

The cleardevelopment strategy of the Company will fully release the growth potential and the positiveeffect of the restructuring.The panel price continuously drops to the historic low ebb with industry losses arising andthe market further concentrated to the leading enterprises last year. TCL CSOT keeps thebest efficiency and profitability of the industry by the business process improvement,ultimate cost reduction and the better product and customer mix. For the year under review,TCL CSOT recorded revenue of RMB33.99 billion, up by 22.9% year-on-year, and a netprofit of RMB964 million, down by 58.5% year-on-year. The t6 (G11) plant in Shenzhenreached designed production at the end of the 2019 and the t4 (flexible AMOLED) plant

achieved mass production at the same time. The two plants will support the profit growth ofthis year firmly.TCL CSOT continuously invests in R&D and actively develops the next generation ofdisplay technologies, from materials to manufacturing (including ink-jet printing flexibleOLED). The PCT patent applications of the Company increases 2,752 in the current periodand the acumulated patent applications reaches to 11,261.The industrial finance business develops steadily and optimizes the capital operatingsystem, improves the asset efficiency and risk control capability. The supply chain financeenables the industry development and meet the capital needs. TCL venture capital focuseson the opportunities of cutting-edge technology; Admiralty Harbour Capital starts itsoffshore operates smoothly.

The other businesses of the Company werestable and recorded revenue of RMB22.9 billion and a net profit of RMB320 million.Earnings from finance and other businesses stabilize the performance of the Companyduring the winter of the panel cycle.

2020 business planningSince the end of last year, the price of the big-size panel has risen as business environmentimproved. I think that the global demand-supply relationship of the industry has notchanged fundamentally, but the long-term prospect of the industry is bright with verylarge market potential. The human-computer interaction technology creates the newapplication scenarios and expand the new market in demand of commercial display; Globalindustry reshuffling are accelerated and the industry concentrate to the leading companies.The environment of the global display industry will be better comparing last year and theenterprise with edge will have more opportunities.TCL CSOT focuses on "improving efficiency and profitability", compares with all thebenchmarks thoroughly, finds the root reason, responses quickly, builds up the corecompetencies, continues to reduce the cost, improves operation quality as well as activelyexpands new markets and customers to achieve business success. The Company willmaintain the max production of the t6 plant, further expand the capacity of t3 plant, reachmass production of the Phase I of the t4 plant, complete Phase II and Phase III constructionof t4, and start the t7 (G11) operation at the end of the year. Continuously max the existing

capacity and complete full sales. Keep on capacity expansion and support the revenuegrowth this year. The Company shall dedicated to the video interaction and commercialdisplay technology, improve LTPS and flexible AM-OLED technology, further optimizeproduct and customer structure, continuously strengthen the market position and enhanceearnings. We are confident that TCL CSOT's revenue growth and profitability will exceedlast year.The industrial finance & investment business will support the semiconductor display frommany aspects, further improve the financial status and asset turnover rate, as well as lowerfinancial costs. TCL Capital will focus on investment from upstream to downstream ofindustrial chain and strategic technology, and support ecological perfection of thesemi-conductor display. The industrial finance & investment business will continuouslycontribute to steady growth in earnings and improve the capability to counter the cycle.The Company will continue to spin off the other business and keep an eye on the M&Aopportunity in the semiconductor. Focus on the semi-conductor display business andshareholder return.The Company has an active expectation this year. Although the COVID-19 epidemiccauses greater uncertainty to the global economy, we have confidence to overcomedifficulties and challenges to further expand the market share and achieve a strong revenuegrowth.Medium-and-long term strategic outlookChina is the world's largest exporter. And the manufacture is the root of China's economiccompetitiveness, but the high-end manufacturing ability is insufficient with low value added.China need to upgrade its manufacturer, enhance their high-end manufacturing andtechnology ability. The long-term strategy of the company is centralizing the resourceand building up global leadership in strategic industries of technology-intensive andcapital-intensive. On the other hand, the Company enhances the industrial financialcapacity, develops the industrial finance business creatively, facilitates industrialdevelopment, establishes the efficient industrial financial business system andincreases the investment income also.The semi-conductor display technology and material is one of the most important core andbasic industries with great market prospects of which China has a global advantage.I think there is an opportunity for China's display industry to become the global leader inbig-size products, but in medium and small size will face the challenges from Korean

companies. China and Korea will become the final leading forces of global display industry.As the competition of the display industry will be heated, the business volatility will be lowerfinally. The leading player's advantages will be significant and the return will increasegradually. The Company will increase the scale and efficiency of the industry by interior andexterior development, increase R&D investment, establish the technical barrier, breakthrough the next generation of display technology, deploy the global industrial chain layoutactively and serve global customers, establish the ecological system of the industry,improve efficiency and become a global leader in the display industry.With the advantages from technology, management and capital, the Company is looking foropportunity to create a new field in the capital-intensive and technology-intensive strategicindustries to support long-term sustainable growth of the enterprise. The potential target willbe the leading enterprise of the industry, which has consistent business logic and hassynergy to increase earnings.The Company always values shareholder returns and stabilizes the cash dividends. TheBoard of Directors proposes the dividend of RMB0.1 per share for the year under review.The Company has distributed cash dividends for 9 consecutive years since 2012 andcumulative dividends will exceed RMB8.1 billion. The Group will continuously execute theexisting dividend policy and actively pay back the shareholders. In 2019, the Companycumulatively repurchased 565 million shares with total RMB1.934 billion of repurchase toenhance shareholder return.I have personally increased my shares in the Company by a total of 175 million sharessince Dec. 2018 and I have confidence in the long-term value of the Company.Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I’d like to take this opportunity to express mygratitude for the trusts of all our shareholders, for the support from all our partners andusers, as well as for the hard work of management team and staff!
