EXPLANATORY NOTE
Fanhua Inc. (Nasdaq: FANH) (the “Company”
or “Fanhua”) is furnishing an updated press release on this Form 6-K to correct certain error made in the press
release titled “Fanhua Announces Changes to the Board of Directors and Management Team”, which was filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 6-K on October 1, 2024 (the “Original Announcement”).
In the Original
Announcement, the Company disclosed the professional experience of the newly appointed chairperson of the board of Fanhua. The Original
Announcement incorrectly stated that “Ms. Nguyen has over 10 years of investment management experience. Since October 2019, she
has been serving as Deputy Director of International Investment Strategy at Voyager Labs Limited, a global leader in advanced AI-based
survey solutions, enabling global organizations to gain in-depth investigative insights on entities, individuals, groups and topics. She
also served as vice president of Doji group (formerly TTD Technology Development and Trading Company) from 2016 to 2019. Previously, Ms.Nguyen

providing diverse products and services through four key business units: gaming, communications and media, fintech and digital services.
From 2010 to 2013, she served in management roles for the Empower Consulting Group. Ms. Nguyen obtained her bachelor’s degree in
international business from Vietnam National University in 2008 and her MBA degree from Hanoi University of Science and Technology (“HUST”)
in 2009.” Instead, it should be replaced entirely with “Since June 2023, Ms. Hang Suong Nguyen has served as the Vice President
of WEALTH WILL LIMITED, overseeing operational strategies and driving the company’s capital deployment and growth in multiple emerging
markets. Prior to that, from late 2018 until May 2023, she held the position of Sales Director at Trustwell Far East Pte. Ltd., where

relationships, and expanding business channels, making significant contributions to the company’s cross-border business. She obtained
her Bachelor’s degree in International Business from Vietnam National University in 2008 and her Master’s degree in Business
