Pursuant to bye-law 83(2) of the Bye-laws, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board.

Pursuant to bye-law 84 of the Bye-laws, notwithstanding any other provisions in the Bye-laws, at each annual general meeting of the Company one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if the number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires. Mr. Li Chak Hung and Mr. Tu Chunan shall retire from offices as Directors at the AGM and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the AGM.

The Shares may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution no. 4. The Repurchase Mandate shall be exercisable during the period from the date of passing of the said ordinary resolution until whichever is 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 by the Bye-laws or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date on which the authority set out in the said ordinary resolution is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

The explanatory statement provides information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision in relation to the ordinary resolution no. 4.

4. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 349,280,383.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This explanatory statement contains the information required to be sent to Shareholders pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules concerning the repurchase of its own Shares by the Company.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The total number of Shares which the Company is authorised to repurchase its Shares representing a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) at the date of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate. Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 349,280,383 Shares in issue and no treasury shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, would result in a maximum of 34,928,038 Shares (which are fully paid and represent 10% of the total number of Shares in issue) being repurchased by the Company during the period prior to 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 by the Bye-laws and applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda to be held; or

(iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares, the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchase of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.


APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

At repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Bye-laws, the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium (if any) payable on a repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account before the Shares are repurchased.

4. IMPACT ON THE COMPANY

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as appropriate) (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full. However, 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 requirements of the Company or on its gearing position (as appropriate) which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST

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

6. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda.


APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. EFFECT ON TAKEOVERS CODE

If the proportionate interest of a Shareholder in the voting rights of the Company increases on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Name of Shareholders Number of Shares interested Approximate % of the total number of issued Shares Approximate % of the total number of issued Shares should the Repurchase Mandate be exercised in full
Ms. Chong Sok Un
("Ms. Chong") (Note) 207,026,615 59.27 65.86
Well Dynasty Investments
Limited ("Well Dynasty") (Note) 193,026,615 55.26 61.40
Mr. Lee Ming-tee 20,974,000 6.00 6.67

Note:
Well Dynasty is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Miracle Planet Developments Limited, which in turn is a company wholly owned by Ms. Chong. Vigor Online Offshore Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Spirit Limited, owns 14,000,000 Shares. Ms. Chong owns 100% beneficial interests in China Spirit Limited. Accordingly, Ms. Chong is deemed to have an interest of (i) 193,026,615 Shares through Miracle Planet Developments Limited and Well Dynasty; and (ii) 14,000,000 Shares through China Spirit Limited and Vigor Online Offshore Limited.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Ms. Chong and parties acting in concert with her were beneficially interested in 207,026,615 Shares, representing approximately 59.27% of the total number of issued Shares.

Based on such interests in the Shares and in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full and assuming that there was no change in the number of Shares held by Ms. Chong and parties acting in concert with her and there was no other change to the total number of issued Shares, the shareholding of Ms. Chong and parties acting in concert with her in the Company would be increased to approximately 65.86% of the reduced total number of issued Shares immediately after the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase in voting rights would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.


APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

9. NO REPURCHASE FROM CORE CONNECTED PERSON

No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

10. SHARE PRICES

The monthly highest and lowest prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

| | Highest
HK$ | Lowest
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2024 | | |
| July | 0.39 | 0.28 |
| August | 0.29 | 0.25 |
| September | 0.25 | 0.18 |
| October | 0.80 | 0.20 |
| November | 0.29 | 0.20 |
| December | 0.23 | 0.22 |
| 2025 | | |
| January | 0.26 | 0.23 |
| February | 0.29 | 0.22 |
| March | 0.23 | 0.22 |
| April | 0.32 | 0.20 |
| May | 0.48 | 0.28 |
| June | 0.30 | 0.21 |
| July (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.22 | 0.20 |


APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

11. NO UNUSUAL FEATURES

Neither this explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.

12. INTENTION ON TREATMENT OF REPURCHASED SHARES

In the event that the Company repurchases any Shares, it may cancel such repurchased Shares and/or hold them as treasury shares, subject to market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchase, and will be carried out in compliance with the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules, the relevant laws in Bermuda and the Bye-Laws.
