    INVESTOR PRESENTATION 1383.HK SUNCITY GROUP HOLDINGS LTD Annual 2020 Results 29 March 2021 INNOVATIVE DREAMS BRING A WORLD OF ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders Dear fellow Suncity shareholders, Needless to explain, 2020 was one of the worst years in modern history, as the majority of the year has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We were all being led through a roller coaster ride in a mere short year. Global markets initially bottomed then boomed, yet real economic recovery is still underwater. While Suncity was on the way charting to the new lands as a new comer in the entertainment scene, the monster COVID dragged us back from otherwise arriving at our initial promised land. Regrettably, COVID happened at a time when we have just finished sharpening the flagship sword, Hoiana, after years in the making. Full and ready to strike, yet the virus has put Hoiana’s Grand Opening to a halt. Flights and visas to Vietnam are no longer accessible, leaving us no chance to showcase what a masterpiece that we have created. 2020 was history, and letting bygones be bygones would be the best strategy. As long as we stay afloat while we sharpen other swords, and I am not worried about not having chances to strike in the future. Amidst the doom and gloom, there are silver linings. Under the Suncity portfolio, we also have integrated resorts that are supported by local markets, such as Tigre de Cristal. COVID has offered a chance to prove that an integrated resort with a local exposure could offer some downside protection, such as Tigre de Cristal, for being EBITDA-positive in the second half of 2020 with the support of the local Russian market.
