INSIDE INFORMATION ANNOUNCEMENT POSITIVE PROFIT ALERT

This announcement is made by Hongkong Chinese Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules).

The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") and potential investors that OUE Limited (together with its subsidiaries, the "OUE Group"), a subsidiary of a principal joint venture of the Company and listed on the Mainboard of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited, announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "Period") on the date of this announcement. Based on the information currently available to the Company, it is estimated that the Group is likely to record a share of profit of joint ventures of not less than HK$180 million for the Period, as compared to a share of loss of approximately HK$433 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (the "Last Period"). Such change was mainly attributable to a provisional negative goodwill recognised for acquisition of additional equity interests in an equity-accounted investee of the OUE Group and the reduction in share of losses from its equity-accounted investees for the Period.

Based on the information currently available to the Company, it is estimated that the Group is likely to record an unaudited consolidated profit attributable to shareholders of the Company of not less than HK$190 million for the Period, as compared to a consolidated loss of HK$422 million for the Last Period. The change was largely due to the share of profit of joint ventures as mentioned above.

The information contained in this announcement is only a preliminary assessment by the Board based on information currently available to the Company and is not based on any figures or information that has been audited by the Company's auditor. The Company will announce the unaudited consolidated interim results of the Group for the Period in late August 2025.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
