CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION CAPITAL INCREASE AGREEMENT WITH ANT BANK (MACAO)

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated April 15, 2026 in relation to the Capital Increase Agreement with Ant Bank (Macao).

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) details of the Capital Increase Agreement; (ii) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Capital Increase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (iii) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the aforesaid regard; (iv) a notice convening the SGM; and (v) other information concerning the Company as required under the GEM Listing Rules.

For identification purpose only


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CAPITAL INCREASE AGREEMENT

The principal terms of the Capital Increase Agreement are set out below:

Date
April 15, 2026

Parties

  1. Ant Bank (Macao);
  2. mFinance;
  3. Xunyi (Macau) Holding; and
  4. Yinyi (Macau) Investment.

Subject matter

Pursuant to the Capital Increase Agreement, mFinance has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and Ant Bank (Macao) has conditionally agreed to issue 3,000,000 common shares of Ant Bank (Macao) at a price of MOP100 (equivalent to approximately HK$97) per common share, or a total subscription price of MOP300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$291,270,000) for the Capital Increase.

Consideration

The consideration for the Capital Increase shall be MOP300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$291,270,000), which shall be paid by mFinance to Ant Bank (Macao) on the date of Closing. Such consideration was determined after arm's length negotiation among the parties to the Capital Increase Agreement, having taken into account various factors, including the capital requirements of Ant Bank (Macao) for the existing business development projects and compliance with the minimum own funds requirement for a licensed bank in Macau; and the working capital of Ant Bank (Macao) is currently approximately MOP180 million. Ant Bank (Macao) aims to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio ("CET1 Ratio") of around 13% on an ongoing basis, above the regulatory minimum of 8%. Its CET1 Ratio as at December 31, 2025 was approximately 13.3% (calculated based on its own funds of approximately MOP336 million and risk-weighted assets ("RWA") of approximately MOP2,526 million). The Board intends to continue the disciplined business expansion of Ant Bank (Macao), including the broadening of its customer base across SMEs and individuals and the development of wealth management products, which is expected to result in a corresponding increase in its RWA. In this context, the Board considers that additional capital will be required to strengthen its balance sheet position and maintain the CET1 Ratio at its current level while supporting such expansion and ensuring that Ant Bank (Macao)'s capital position remains robust.

Based on the foregoing, the Board considers that the consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The aforesaid consideration shall be settled by mFinance in cash on the date of Closing. The Group intends to fund such consideration of MOP300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$291,270,000) by its internal cash reserves.

Conditions precedent

The completion of the Capital Increase is conditional upon certain salient conditions precedent, among others, including but not limited to:

(i) the parties to the Capital Increase Agreement having obtained the necessary internal authorizations in compliance with applicable laws (including the GEM Listing Rules) or their companies' articles of association, including the board and/or shareholders' approval of the execution of the Capital Increase Agreement or the conduct of the Capital Increase;

(ii) all approvals, no objection letters, permits, registrations, declarations or filings mandatorily required to be obtained for the Capital Increase having been obtained from the relevant authorities (including but not limited to the AMCM and, if required, the Stock Exchange) and such approvals, no objection letters, permits, registrations, declarations or filings not having been revoked or withdrawn;

(iii) there being no applicable laws, judgments, awards, rulings or injunctions of courts, arbitration institutions or relevant government authorities that restrict or prohibit the Capital Increase, nor are there any litigations, arbitrations, judgments, awards, rulings or injunctions that have or may have a material adverse impact on the Capital Increase, and the execution, delivery, performance of the Capital Increase Agreement and the transactions thereunder not violating any applicable laws; and

(iv) Ant Bank (Macao) having amended and adopted the amended articles of association on or before the date of Closing, and such amendment or revision having been approved by mFinance, the Ant Shareholders and the AMCM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions precedent set out above had been fulfilled. The Company and the other parties to the Capital Increase Agreement have not waived, and have no present intention to waive, any of the conditions precedent. Subject to the fulfilment (or, where applicable, waiver) of all the conditions precedent, the Closing is expected to take place on or around June 2026.

SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT

Upon Closing, mFinance will enter into the Shareholders' Agreement with the Ant Shareholders and Ant Bank (Macao), which is expected to stipulate shareholder rights customary for transactions of this nature and contain terms similar to those set out in the shareholders' agreement mentioned in the Company's announcement dated February 8, 2024, except with the following amendment to reflect the increase in shareholdings held by mFinance in Ant Bank (Macao) following the Capital Increase:

  • Board reserved matters of Ant Bank (Macao) shall be approved by at least two directors nominated by mFinance and at least one director nominated by the Ant Shareholders.

Following Closing, the board of Ant Bank (Macao) remains to be controlled by mFinance, with three directors appointed by it and two appointed by the Ant Shareholders.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CLOSING

Closing shall take place within 10 business days after the conditions precedent having been fulfilled or waived.

Upon Closing, the percentage of equity interests held by mFinance, Xunyi (Macau) Holding and Yinyi (Macau) Investment in Ant Bank (Macao) will be approximately 67.3%, 16.4% and 16.3%, respectively. Therefore, Ant Bank (Macao) will remain as an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The financial statements of Ant Bank (Macao) have been consolidated into the financial statements of the Group, and will remain so following Closing.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CAPITAL INCREASE AGREEMENT

The Board believes that the Capital Increase will enable Ant Bank (Macao) to comply with the minimum own funds requirement for a licensed bank in Macau, thereby strengthening its financial position and supporting its future business development. The Board also considers it will increase the Company’s indirect stake in Ant Bank (Macao) from approximately 51.5% to approximately 67.3% to further strengthen its presence in Macau’s banking industry and capitalize on market growth potential.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As (i) Ms. Qin Yuehong is an employee of Alibaba Group; (ii) Mr. Sun Ho is a director and the chairman of the board of directors of Ant Bank (Macao); and (iii) Mr. Ji Gang is an employee of Ant Group, each of these Directors is deemed or may be perceived to have a material interest in the Capital Increase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and had therefore abstained from voting on the Board resolutions for approval in this respect.

Other than the aforesaid Directors, no other Directors have a material interest in the Capital Increase Agreement or are required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) passed by the Board for approving the Capital Increase Agreement.

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors whose opinion has been set out in this circular after taking into consideration the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser, but excluding the aforesaid Directors who have abstained from voting) is of the view that the terms of the Capital Increase Agreement are fair and reasonable, the Capital Increase is on normal commercial terms, and the entering into of the Capital Increase Agreement is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Ali Fortune, the controlling shareholder of the Company, was indirectly owned as to 60% and 40% by Alibaba Holding and AIC respectively. Ant Bank (Macao) was held by mFinance as to approximately 51.5% and two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of AIC (i.e. Xunyi (Macau) Holding and Yinyi (Macau) Investment) as to approximately 48.5% in aggregate and hence, by virtue of such relationship and based on the information currently available to the Company, Ant Bank (Macao) may constitute a connected subsidiary of the Company. Each of Xunyi (Macau) Holding and Yinyi (Macau) Investment, being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AIC, and by virtue of such relationship and based on the information currently available to the Company, may be a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Capital Increase constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

As one or more applicable percentage ratios for the Capital Increase exceeds 5%, the Capital Increase is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Additionally, as one or more applicable percentage ratios for the Capital Increase exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Capital Increase constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Capital Increase. The details are set out in the "Letter from the Board" contained in the circular of the Company dated May 11, 2026 (the "Circular"), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless otherwise defined herein or required by the context.

On April 15, 2026, mFinance, being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Capital Increase Agreement with Ant Bank (Macao), Xunyi (Macau) Holding and Yinyi (Macau) Investment, pursuant to which mFinance has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and Ant Bank (Macao) has conditionally agreed to issue, 3,000,000 common shares of Ant Bank (Macao) (representing approximately 32.6% of the issued share capital of Ant Bank (Macao) as enlarged by the Capital Increase) at a total subscription price of MOP300 million (equivalent to approximately HK$291.27 million) or a price of MOP100 (equivalent to approximately HK$97) per common share.

Upon completion of the Capital Increase, the percentage of equity interests held by mFinance, Xunyi (Macau) Holding and Yinyi (Macau) Investment in Ant Bank (Macao) will be approximately 67.3%, 16.4% and 16.3%, respectively.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Ali Fortune, the controlling shareholder of the Company, was indirectly owned as to 60% and 40% by Alibaba Holding and AIC respectively. Ant Bank (Macao) was held by mFinance as to approximately 51.5% and two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of AIC (i.e. Xunyi (Macau) Holding and Yinyi (Macau) Investment) as to approximately 48.5% in aggregate and hence, by virtue of such relationship and based on the information currently available to the Company, Ant Bank (Macao) may constitute a connected subsidiary of the Company. Each of Xunyi (Macau) Holding and Yinyi (Macau) Investment, being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AIC, and by virtue of such relationship and based on the information currently available to the Company, may be a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Capital Increase constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

As one or more applicable percentage ratios for the Capital Increase exceeds 5%, the Capital Increase is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules. Additionally, as one or more applicable percentage ratios for the Capital Increase exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Capital Increase constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Chow Siu Lui, Mr. Chan Ka Leong and Ms. Yuen Kit Ming Fanny, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to (i) whether the entering into of the Capital Increase Agreement is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (ii) whether the terms of the Capital Increase Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the proposed resolution at the SGM to approve the entering into of the Capital Increase Agreement, taking into account the recommendation from the Independent Financial Adviser.

THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Save for the aforesaid transactions, we have not acted as an independent financial adviser or financial adviser for the Company's other transactions in the last two years prior to the date of the Circular. Pursuant to Rule 17.96 of the GEM Listing Rules, and given that remuneration for our engagement to opine on the Capital Increase is at market level and not conditional upon successful passing of the resolution to be proposed at the SGM, and that our engagement is on normal commercial terms, we are independent of the Company.

Revenue

The Group completed the attainment of controlling stake in Ant Bank (Macao) on September 2, 2024, and started consolidating Ant Bank (Macao)'s results into its financial statements.

IFA-5


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Compared with 1H2025, revenue in 1H2026 increased by approximately 36.1% mainly driven by interest income derived from full-scale banking business as financial results of Ant Bank (Macao) were only consolidated for one month in 1H2025 while there was full 6-month contribution in 1H2026. Revenue from other businesses such as digital payment and lottery also increased supported by tourism and local consumption campaigns in Macau as well as recovery in lottery instant scratch ticket supply in the Chinese Mainland. Interest income derived from full-scale banking business in 1H2026 was already higher than the full-year FY2025 due to the aforesaid consolidation of Ant Bank (Macao) as well as business growth.

Net other income/(losses)

The Group recorded net other losses in FY2025 following recognition of a one-off loss allowance on a receivable from an independent third party of HK$10.3 million. The net other losses in 1H2026 were due to a rise in foreign exchange losses incurred by Ant Bank (Macao) due to its increased US dollar-denominated assets while US dollar had depreciated against MOP during the period.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses in 1H2026 increased by approximately 34.1% compared to 1H2025 due mainly to (i) higher interest expense incurred from full-scale banking services of Ant Bank (Macao); and (ii) higher other operating expenses with the inclusion of Ant Bank (Macao)'s operating expenses such as technology service and outsourcing fees as well as increases in digital payment and lottery distribution expenses.

Comparing 1H2026 with FY2025, the proportional incremental change of expense items largely reflected the 7-month contribution of Ant Bank (Macao)'s financial results to the Group in FY2025 and the Group's regular operating expenses for its digital payment and lottery-related businesses.

Operating loss

The Group recorded an increase in operating loss of approximately 42.0% in 1H2026 compared with 1H2025 as revenue contribution from Ant Bank (Macao) had yet to cover the corresponding operating expenses, where Ant Bank (Macao) had higher outsourcing, technology service, fee and commission expenses.

The Group's FY2025 operating loss was approximately HK$71.8 million while its 6-month 1H2025 operating loss was approximately HK$28.9 million. As an illustration, its operating loss for the 6-month period from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 would be approximately HK$42.9 million. This is similar to the level recorded in 1H2026.

IFA-6


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Non-operating income/expenses

The Group recorded lower non-operating income in 1H2026 compared to 1H2025 due to lower market interest rates and lower average deposit balances during the period. This however represents significant improvement from non-operating expenses of approximately HK$29.3 million in FY2025 caused by fair value loss on the convertible term loan facilities provided by the Group to its 45%-owned joint venture company in India.

Loss before and after tax

Due to the combination of above factors, the Group recorded loss before and after tax of approximately HK$27.6 million and approximately HK$25.6 million respectively in 1H2026, after recording a tax credit of approximately HK$2.0 million.

The Group's FY2025 loss after tax was approximately HK$98.6 million while its 6-month 1H2025 loss after tax was approximately HK$1.6 million. As an illustration, its loss after tax for the 6-month period from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 would be approximately HK$97.0 million, which is higher than the level recorded in 1H2026.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Current assets

The significant movements of current assets which increased from approximately HK$4.2 billion as at March 31, 2025 to approximately HK$7.3 billion as at September 30, 2025 was driven mainly by the full-scale banking business. The substantial increase in current assets of (i) cash and bank balances; and (ii) monetary bills and deposits with AMCM, corresponded with significant increase in current liabilities in the form of deposits from customers as described below. There was also an increase in loans and advances to customers in line with business growth.

Current liabilities

As discussed above, deposits from customers increased substantially along with increase in total number of individual customers as compared to March 31, 2025 through Ant Bank (Macao)'s continuous advancement of the service model and providing a more comprehensive digital financial experience to customers.

There was also an increase in the current portion of accruals and other payables as at September 30, 2025. This was mainly due to government subsidies received by the Group as discount offers for consumers for the large-scale consumption promotion activity of "National Games Boost · Community Consumption Grand Prize" from September 2025 to November 2025.

Non-current liabilities

The Group's non-current liabilities had remained relatively stable.

Equity attributable to owners of the Company

The Group's net assets and equity attributable to owners of the Company were largely stable as at September 30, 2025 compared to March 31, 2025.

Our observations

Overall, the recent financial results of the Group show a significant expansion of revenue largely driven by its full-scale banking business, with the consolidation of Ant Bank (Macao)'s financial results from September 2024 onwards. However, this has also led to corresponding increases in operating costs resulting in operating losses at this stage development. The digital payment and lottery businesses meanwhile showed modest revenue growth but faced increased expenses.

The statement of financial position reflects the transformation of the Group into a full-scale banking operation following the consolidation of Ant Bank (Macao). Current assets have grown due to increased cash holdings, investments in monetary bills and loans issued. Correspondingly, current liabilities have grown at a similar rate, fueled by higher customer deposits. Equity attributable to owners of the Company has remained stable.

IFA-9


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having considered the Group’s recent business performance and financial position, we consider that the Group has the necessary financial resources for the Capital Increase.

1.3 Outlook and strategy of the Group

The Group stated in its 1H2026 Interim Report that it is dedicated to becoming a leading global comprehensive financial technology group. With full-scale banking services, digital payment services, and digital local consumer services as its core, the Group aims to build a comprehensive digital ecosystem and create a new paradigm for modern financial services. Through offering full-scale banking services, e-wallet and acquiring services, contactless smart card, multipurpose digital payment system and other services, the Group strives to promote mobile payment and inclusive finance in Macau.

The Capital Increase in respect of the Group’s further investment in Ant Bank (Macao) is therefore in line with the aforesaid stated business strategies of the Group.

2. Background information of Ant Bank (Macao)

Net asset 214,547,024 343,235,846 376,315,543

Ant Bank (Macao)'s interest income increased substantially from approximately MOP26.0 million in 2023 to approximately MOP153.7 million in 2025. We understand from the Management that while Ant Bank (Macao) has maintained a prudent approach in loan portfolio expansion, the rapid growth in interest income was primarily driven by low-risk investments in monetary bills issued by the Autoridade Monetária de Macau (AMCM) and interbank placements.

Fee and commission income is mainly generated from (i) mobile payment services provided through the 'Alipay (Macau)' e-wallet; and (ii) brokerage services, a new business line launched in 2024. From 2023 to 2025, Ant Bank (Macao)'s fee and commission income also demonstrated an increasing trend, from approximately MOP13.5 million to MOP38.3 million.

IFA-11


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

With respect to the foreign exchange income resulting from remittance services, cross-border payment services, and other foreign exchange services, it increased from approximately MOP11.1 million in 2023 to approximately MOP18.0 million in 2025, in line with the growth of Ant Bank (Macao)'s business scale.

Ant Bank (Macao) was loss-making during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. While its net loss after tax improved from approximately MOP49.9 million in 2023 to approximately MOP23.8 million in 2024, we note that in 2025, despite substantial growth in interest income as discussed above, Ant Bank (Macao) incurred increased operating expenses for its business needs. As a result, Ant Bank (Macao)'s net loss after tax increased to approximately MOP42.2 million in 2025.

As a result of the growth in operating scale, as well as previous rounds of capital injections, Ant Bank (Macao)'s net asset increased from approximately MOP214.5 million as at December 31, 2023 to approximately MOP376.3 million as at December 31, 2025.

3. Principal terms of the Capital Increase Agreement

The principal terms of the Capital Increase Agreement are set out below:

Date: April 15, 2026

Parties: 1. Ant Bank (Macao); 2. mFinance; 3. Xunyi (Macau) Holding; and 4. Yinyi (Macau) Investment.

Pursuant to the Capital Increase Agreement, mFinance has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and Ant Bank (Macao) has conditionally agreed to issue 3,000,000 common shares of Ant Bank (Macao) at a price of MOP100 (equivalent to approximately HK$97) per common share, or a total subscription price of MOP300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$291,270,000) for the Capital Increase.

For details of the principal terms of the Capital Increase Agreement, please refer to the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular.

3.1 The Consideration

The consideration for the Capital Increase shall be MOP300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$291,270,000), which shall be paid by mFinance to Ant Bank (Macao) on the date of Closing. Such consideration was determined after arm's length negotiation among the parties to the Capital Increase Agreement, having taken into account various factors, including the capital requirements of Ant Bank (Macao) for the existing business development projects and compliance with the minimum own funds requirement for a licensed bank in Macau; and the working capital of Ant Bank (Macao) is currently approximately MOP180 million.

IFA-12


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, we note that when assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration for the Capital Increase, the Board has taken into account Ant Bank (Macao)'s target to maintain a CET1 Ratio of around 13% on an ongoing basis (whereas its CET1 Ratio as at December 31, 2025 was approximately 13.3%). Given the expected continued disciplined business expansion of Ant Bank (Macao), which is expected to result in a corresponding increase in its RWA, the Board considers that additional capital will be required to strengthen its balance sheet position and maintain the CET1 Ratio at its current level while supporting such expansion and ensuring that Ant Bank (Macao)'s capital position remains robust. We consider the Board's assessment, which references Ant Bank (Macao)'s historical capital adequacy ratio and latest financial positions, to be reasonable.

Our assessment

The number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Capital Increase of MOP300,000,000 represents approximately 32.6% shareholding in Ant Bank (Macao) as enlarged by the Capital Increase. In other words, the Capital Increase implies a valuation of Ant Bank (Macao) of approximately MOP920.2 million after the Capital Increase (the "Post-money Implied Valuation").

Based on the latest financial information of Ant Bank (Macao), its audited total equity was approximately MOP376.3 million as at December 31, 2025. For illustration, adding the aforesaid amount of MOP300,000,000 would result in enlarged equity of approximately MOP676.3 million after the Capital Increase. The Post-money Implied Valuation of MOP920.2 million therefore represents a price-to-book ratio ("PB Ratio") of approximately 1.36 times, based on this enlarged equity. We note that PB Ratio is one of the most commonly used valuation multiples for capital-intensive business such as financial institutions as it relates the fair value of the company's equity value to its net asset.

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Post-money Implied Valuation, we conducted a comparable analysis of this 1.36 times PB Ratio against the PB Ratios of digital banks engaging in similar businesses ("Comparable Companies"). In selecting the Comparables Companies, our selection criteria focused on digital banks that are (i) operating in similar region (i.e. Macau); and (ii) at similar stage of development.

Based on our research, we note that only Ant Bank (Macao) and Macau Development Bank fulfill the selection criteria above. Given the limited number of Comparable Companies, we have extended our research to cover digital banks in Hong Kong. Hong Kong, which is in close proximity of Macau and which market size is also comparatively small, has eight licensed digital banks. The Hong Kong digital banks appear to be in similar stage of development as Ant Bank (Macao) where digital bank licenses were both initially issued in Hong Kong and Macau around year 2019.

IFA-13


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Based on our research on the public filings of Hong Kong digital banks with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, we note that there had been a number of capital injection exercises involving issuance of new shares in 2024 and 2025 as summarized below. While we note from the 2024 annual report of Macau Development Bank that it had conducted share issuance in 2024, only limited information was disclosed and it is not sufficient for our calculation of the PB ratio for comparison. Therefore, Macau Development Bank has not been included in the following list. This is an exhaustive list based on the abovementioned selection criteria.

We are cognisant that there exists no company which can be of exactly the same business model, scale of operation, trading prospect, target markets, product mix and capital structure as Ant Bank (Macao). While we observed that the Comparable Companies have varying scales of operation in terms of net asset value and their P/B ratios (post capital injection) had ranged from 1.00 time to 2.35 times, we believe that the selected Comparable Companies are fair and representative reference that is meaningful for our comparable analysis for the Capital Increase as they reflect the prevailing market sentiment towards capital injection activities for digital banks located in close proximity to and at a similar stage of development as Ant Bank (Macao). Accordingly, no adjustment was made when deriving the Comparable Companies' PB Ratio (post capital injection).

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

From the table above, we observed that:

(i) save for Ele Bank, the capital injections of the Comparable Companies were all conducted at the price of initial share issuance at the commencement of their businesses;

(ii) the PB Ratios of the Comparable Companies range from 1.00 time to 2.35 times with mean and median of 1.92 times and 2.10 times;

(iii) similar to the proposed Capital Increase, the Company’s previous capital injections were also conducted at MOP100 per new share issued; and

(iv) the PB Ratio implied by the Capital Increase of 1.36 times is lower than those PB Ratios of Comparable Companies (save for Ele Bank) and is also lower than previous rounds of capital injection by the Company in Ant Bank (Macao) announced in 2024.

Based on the above observations, we are of the view that the Capital Increase is fair and reasonable from the perspective of comparable companies analysis.

3.2 The settlement terms

The aforesaid consideration shall be settled by mFinance in cash on the date of Closing. The Group intends to fund such consideration of MOP300,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$291,270,000) by its internal cash reserves.

Based on our discussion with the Management, the Group maintains sufficient cash reserves to fund the Capital Increase. In this respect, we note that based on the Group’s financial statements as at September 30, 2025, other than cash and bank balances attributable to operations of Ant Bank (Macao), the Group had fixed deposits held at bank of HK$292.5 million and we understand from the Management that a portion of its cash and balances with banks of HK$1,181.1 million is available for deployment for the Capital Increase.

3.3 Conditions precedent

The completion of the Capital Increase is conditional upon certain salient conditions precedent as detailed in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular. We note that those conditions are customary to transaction of this nature.

3.4 Section summary

Having considered the factors above, we are of the view that the terms of the Capital Increase Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

IFA-16


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

4. Principal terms of the Shareholders' Agreement

Upon Closing, mFinance will enter into the Shareholders' Agreement with the Ant Shareholders and Ant Bank (Macao), which is expected to stipulate shareholder rights customary for transactions of this nature and contain terms similar to those set out in the shareholders' agreement mentioned in the Company's announcement dated February 8, 2024, except with the following amendment to reflect the increase in shareholdings held by mFinance in Ant Bank (Macao) following the Capital Increase:

  • Board reserved matters of Ant Bank (Macao) shall be approved by at least two directors nominated by mFinance and at least one director nominated by the Ant Shareholders.

We note that following Closing, the board of Ant Bank (Macao) remains to be controlled by mFinance, with three directors appointed by it and two appointed by the Ant Shareholders. For the above amendment to Shareholders' Agreement, it reinforces the Company's control over Ant Bank (Macao) and is favourable to the Company.

5. The Company's rationale for the Capital Increase

As stated in the paragraph headed "Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Capital Increase Agreement" in the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, the Board believes that the Capital Increase will enable Ant Bank (Macao) to comply with the minimum own funds requirement for a licensed bank in Macau, thereby strengthening its financial position and supporting its future business development. Given that Ant Bank (Macao) is already a subsidiary of the Company, we are of the view that it is fair and reasonable for the Group to support its growth via the Capital Increase.

We also concur with the Board that the resultant increase in the Company's indirect stake in Ant Bank (Macao) from approximately 51.5% to approximately 67.3% will further strengthen the Group's control over Ant Bank (Macao) and hence, its presence in Macau's banking industry. This in turn is in line with the Group's goal of becoming a leading global comprehensive financial technology group and put the Group in a position to capitalize on market growth potential.

Overall, we are of the view that the entering into of the Capital Increase Agreement is in line with the Group's business strategy and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

6. Potential financial effects of the Capital Increase

Upon Closing, the Company's indirect shareholding in Ant Bank (Macao) through mFinance will increase from approximately 51.5% currently to approximately 67.3%.

An immediate effect on the Group's consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income will be a lower proportion of non-controlling interests. As Ant Bank (Macao) remains in a loss-making situation currently, this may result in the Group reporting a higher loss attributable to owners of the Company. That said, we recognize that Ant Bank (Macao) is a core asset in the Group's overall strategic development. Taking into consideration that Ant Bank (Macao) is still in its infancy of development to attain operational scale, coupled with its future growth potential, we are of the view that the aforesaid higher loss to the Group upon Closing is acceptable.

IFA-17


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As the Capital Increase will be funded by the Group’s internal resources, its cash and bank balances are expected to decrease upon Closing. Nevertheless, as Ant Bank (Macao)’s financial statement is consolidated into the financial statements of the Group, a substantial portion of such cash amount received by Ant Bank (Macao) from the Capital Increase will still be reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statement.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors, we are of the view that (i) the entering into of the Capital Increase Agreement is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (ii) the terms of the Capital Increase Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the proposed resolution at the SGM to approve the entering into of the Capital Increase Agreement.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of
