LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND/OR RESELL TREASURY SHARES

At the 2025 AGM, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders granting the existing issue mandate to the Directors to issue Shares and/or resell Treasury Shares of not more than 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) at the date of passing of such resolution. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2026 AGM to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with, otherwise than pursuant to an issue of Shares as scrip dividends pursuant to the Articles of Association, additional Shares and/or resell Treasury Shares with an aggregate number not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) at the date of passing of such resolution. Besides, where Shares are issued and/or Treasury Shares are resold under the Issue Mandate for cash consideration, they shall not be issued or resold at a discount of more than 10% to the benchmarked price of the Shares being the higher of:

(a) the closing price of the Shares on the date of the agreement involving the proposed issue of Shares and/or the proposed resale of Treasury Shares under the Issue Mandate; and

(b) the average closing price of the Shares in the 5 trading days immediately prior to the earlier of:

(i) the date of announcement of the proposed issue of Shares and/or the proposed resale of Treasury Shares;

(ii) the date of the agreement involving the proposed issue of Shares and/or the proposed resale of Treasury Shares; and

(iii) the date on which the price of Shares proposed to be issued and/or Treasury Shares proposed to be resold is fixed.

In the case of a resale of Treasury Shares on the Stock Exchange, they shall not be resold at a discount of more than 10% to the benchmarked price of the Shares being the higher of (a) the closing price on the trading day immediately prior to the resale; and (b) the average closing price in the 5 trading days immediately prior to the resale.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Issue Mandate, based on 1,163,487,500 Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorized to issue or resell or transfer out of the treasury a maximum of 116,348,750 Shares (being 10% of the Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date) and the Issue Mandate will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company. The Board wishes to state that it has no immediate plan to issue and allot new Shares.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the 2025 AGM, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders granting the existing repurchase mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares of not more than 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) at the date of passing of such resolution. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2026 AGM to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares of not more than 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) at the date of passing of such resolution. The Repurchase Mandate, if granted, will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

An explanatory statement containing all the information necessary to enable the Shareholders to make informed decisions on whether to vote for or against the Repurchase Mandate as required by the Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

4. EXTENSION OF GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND/OR RESELL TREASURY SHARES

At the 2025 AGM, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders to extend the existing issue mandate granted to the Directors by a number representing the aggregate number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the existing repurchase mandate.

At the 2026 AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to extend, conditional upon the passing of the resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the Issue Mandate by the number representing the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate provided that such extended number shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company (excluding Treasury Shares) at the date of passing the resolution for approving the Issue Mandate. Where the Shares so issued and/or the Treasury Shares so resold or transferred pursuant to this extension of the Issue Mandate are for cash consideration, it will also be subject to the same restriction on discount of not more than 10% to the benchmarked price of the Shares being the higher of:

(a) the closing price of the Shares on the date of the agreement involving the proposed issue of Shares and/or the proposed resale of Treasury Shares under the Issue Mandate; and

(b) the average closing price of the Shares in the 5 trading days immediately prior to the earlier of:

(i) the date of announcement of the proposed issue of Shares and/or the proposed resale of Treasury Shares;


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(ii) the date of the agreement involving the proposed issue of Shares and/or the proposed resale of Treasury Shares; and
(iii) the date on which the price of Shares proposed to be issued and/or Treasury Shares proposed to be resold is fixed.

In the case of a resale of Treasury Shares on the Stock Exchange, they shall not be resold at a discount of more than 10% to the benchmarked price of the Shares being the higher of (a) the closing price on the trading day immediately prior to the resale; and (b) the average closing price in the 5 trading days immediately prior to the resale.

5. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 84 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Kwok Lam Kwong Larry ("Mr. Larry Kwok") and Mr. Mok Joe Kuen Richard ("Mr. Richard Mok"), being the Directors longest in office since their last re-election, will retire from office by rotation at the 2026 AGM. Being eligible, they offer themselves for re-election.

In accordance with Article 83 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Cheng Kwang Ting and Mr. Cheng James Su-Ting, being newly appointed Directors, will also retire at the 2026 AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

The Nomination Committee, in line with the Company's Nomination Policy, has reviewed the structure, size, and diversity of the Board, together with the backgrounds and contributions of Mr. Larry Kwok, Mr. Richard Mok, Mr. Cheng Kwang Ting and Mr. Cheng James Su-Ting. The Nomination Committee notes their diverse expertise in law, accounting, technology, academia, entrepreneurship, and investment, and believes their continued service will support the Group's strategic development.

Taking into account their knowledge, experience, capabilities, and the diversity aspects set out in the Company's Diversity Policy (including but not limited to age, educational background, professional experience and skills), the Nomination Committee is satisfied that each of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the 2026 AGM will continue to contribute meaningfully to the Board and enhance diversity of the Board to be in line with the Group's business needs.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the confirmations of independence from and has assessed independence of Mr. Larry Kwok, Mr. Cheng Kwang Ting and Mr. Cheng James Su-Ting in accordance with the criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, and is of the view that each of them meets the required criteria. They are not related to any Directors, senior management, substantial Shareholders or controlling Shareholders of the Company and do not hold any cross-directorships, nor any significant connections with other Directors through involvements in other companies or bodies.

Accordingly, the Nomination Committee has nominated Mr. Larry Kwok, Mr. Richard Mok, Mr. Cheng Kwang Ting and Mr. Cheng James Su-Ting to the Board for proposal to the Shareholders for re-election at the 2026 AGM. With the Nomination Committee's recommendation, the Board has resolved to propose their re-election. As a matter of good corporate governance, each abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolution concerning their own re-election.

Details of the retiring Directors, who offer themselves for re-election, are set out in Appendix II to this circular as required by the Listing Rules. Details of the nomination policy, practice and process for appointing a Director are set out in the 2025 annual report of the Company.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

The estimated annual audit fee payable to Deloitte for the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2026 is expected to be in the range of approximately HK$7.5 million to HK$8.1 million (excluding out-of-pocket expenses).

The estimated annual audit fee was determined after due consideration and arm’s length negotiations between the Audit and Risk Committee and Deloitte, taking into account, among other things, the size, nature and complexity of the Group’s business operations, the expected scope of the audit (covering the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards), the audit timetable, and the level and mix of professional staff to be deployed.

The estimated annual audit fee also assumes that there will be no material change in the Group’s operations, accounting policies or regulatory environment during the financial year, and that the Company will provide timely and adequate assistance and information as reasonably required for the purposes of the audit.

Unless there is a material change in the basis or assumptions set out above, the final annual audit fee is not expected to deviate materially from the estimated amount initially disclosed.

Deloitte has confirmed to the Audit and Risk Committee that they are independent to act as the external auditor to the Company. The Board has accepted the Audit and Risk Committee’s recommendation for the proposed re-appointment of Deloitte (which has indicated its willingness to continue in office) as the external auditor of the Company.

At the 2026 AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to re-appoint Deloitte as auditor of the Company and to authorize the Audit and Risk Committee of the Company to fix their remuneration.

7. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The notice of the 2026 AGM is set out on pages 22 to 26 of this circular. At the 2026 AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the proposed final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2025, the re-election of retiring Directors, the re-appointment of auditor, the granting of the Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate by the addition thereto of the number of Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

A form of proxy for use at the 2026 AGM is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkex.com.hk) and the Company (www.aactechnologies.com).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

8. LISTING RULES REQUIREMENT

According to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, all the resolutions as set out in the notice of the 2026 AGM will be put to the vote at the 2026 AGM by way of poll. The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 17.05A of the Listing Rules, the Trustees will abstain from voting on matters that require Shareholders’ approval under the Listing Rules, unless otherwise required by law to vote in accordance with the relevant beneficial owner’s direction and such a direction is given. In addition, holders of Treasury Shares (if any) shall abstain from voting on matters that require Shareholders’ approval at the Company’s general meetings. Save as aforesaid, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in respect of any of the resolutions to be proposed at the 2026 AGM.

9. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that all proposed resolutions as set out in the 2026 AGM Notice are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors therefore recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions as set out in the notice of the 2026 AGM on pages 22 to 26 of this circular.

10. ARRANGEMENTS UNDER ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS

Shareholders should note that the 2026 AGM will be held as scheduled when amber or red rainstorm warning signal is in force.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The following explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 10.06 of the Listing Rules to be given to all the Shareholders relating to the resolution to be proposed at the 2026 AGM authorising the Repurchase Mandate.

  1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company comprises 1,163,487,500 Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) and 35,012,500 Treasury Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to 116,348,750 Shares (being 10% of the Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date) during the period up to the next annual general meeting of the Company in 2027 or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands or the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

  1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchases when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the value of the net assets and/or earnings per Share. The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 9 April 2025, the Board authorized a new round of repurchases of Shares in the open market with a maximum aggregate amount of up to HK$1.2 billion (the "Proposed Share Repurchase"). The Board believes that the Proposed Share Repurchase reflects the Company's confidence in its long-term business prospects and would benefit the Shareholders as a whole, and the grant of the Repurchase Mandate will allow the Company to implement the Proposed Share Repurchase.

  1. IMPACT ON THE WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

As compared with the financial position of the Company as disclosed in its most recent published audited consolidated accounts as at 31 December 2025, the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed share repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

The Directors recognized that the repurchase of Shares must be made by funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Act of the Cayman Islands as amended from time to time (the "Laws") provide that a share repurchase by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares repurchased or conditionally or unconditionally to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account or, if so authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and the regulations set out in the Articles of Association. Neither the explanatory statement contained in Appendix I to this circular nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

6. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Pan Benjamin Zhengmin ("Mr. Benjamin Pan"), an executive Director, beneficially owns 70,262,162 Shares. In addition, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Benjamin Pan is also deemed or taken to be interested in the following Shares for the purpose of the SFO:

(i) 51,439,440 Shares which are beneficially owned by Silver Island Limited, a company wholly-owned by Mr. Benjamin Pan;


APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Ms. Ingrid Wu, a non-executive Director, is deemed to be interested in the following shares for the purpose of the SFO:

(i) 122,952,005 Shares which are owned or deemed to be interested by Mr. Benjamin Pan, the husband of Ms. Ingrid Wu;

(ii) 134,828,594 Shares which are beneficially owned by Sapphire Hill Holdings Limited and 128,591,931 Shares which are beneficially owned by K&G International Limited, both of which are companies wholly-owned by Ms. Ingrid Wu;

(iii) 50,618,699 Shares and 2,369,422 Shares which are held through discretionary trusts respectively under the SFO; and

(iv) 35,012,500 Shares, being the Treasury Shares held by the Company, in which Mr. Benjamin Pan and Ms. Ingrid Wu are taken to have an interest by virtue of the SFO, as Mr. Benjamin Pan and Ms. Ingrid Wu together control one-third or more of the voting power at general meetings of the Company.

For the purpose of the Takeovers Code, Mr. Benjamin Pan and Ms. Ingrid Wu and their respective associates are concert parties and are taken to have interests in a total of 474,373,151 Shares, representing approximately 40.77% of the issued share capital (excluding Treasury Shares) of the Company. In the event that the Directors shall exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate which is proposed to be granted by the Shareholders and assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the 2026 AGM, the aggregate shareholding of both Mr. Benjamin Pan and Ms. Ingrid Wu and their respective associates in the Company would be increased to approximately 45.30% of the issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. In any event, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent which will trigger the mandatory offer requirement pursuant to the rules of the Takeovers Code.

The Company will not purchase Shares if that purchase would result in the number of Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the Company’s issued Shares.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
