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.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed matters which include, inter alia, (1) the proposed grant of the Issue Mandate and Share Buyback Mandate, (2) the proposed re-election of retiring Directors, and (3) the proposed grant of Share Awards to Executive Director Grantees pursuant to the 2023 Share Scheme, and to send the Shareholders the AGM Notice.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED ISSUE MANDATE

The existing mandate of the Company to issue Shares was approved by its then Shareholders on 8 August 2024. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to issue Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors new general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares of up to 20% of the aggregate number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of the AGM. In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to add to the Issue Mandate those Shares acquired by the Company pursuant to the Share Buyback Mandate (if so granted to the Directors at the AGM).

The Issue Mandate allows the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares only during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles or any applicable laws of Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company (the "Relevant Period").

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 828,420,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or acquired prior to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to allot, issue and otherwise deal with a maximum of 165,684,000 new Shares under the Issue Mandate, representing 20% of the aggregate number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution in relation thereof.

PROPOSED SHARE BUYBACK MANDATE

The existing mandate of the Company to acquire Shares was approved by its then Shareholders on 8 August 2024. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to acquire Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors new general and unconditional mandate to acquire Shares of up to 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of the AGM. The Share Buyback Mandate allows the Company to make acquisition of Shares only during the Relevant Period.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 828,420,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Share Buyback Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or acquired prior to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to acquire a maximum of 82,842,000 Shares under the Share Buyback Mandate, representing 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution in relation thereof.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the GEM Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide the requisite information regarding the Share Buyback Mandate to the Shareholders.

The GEM Listing Rules allow flexibility for the Company to cancel shares repurchased and/or to adopt a framework to (i) allow repurchased shares to be held in treasury and (ii) govern the resale of treasury shares. Subject to adoption of the Share Buyback Mandate at the upcoming AGM, if the Company repurchases Shares pursuant to the Share Buyback Mandate, the Company may (i) cancel the repurchased Shares and/or (ii) hold such Shares in treasury, subject to market conditions and the capital management needs of the Company at the relevant time such repurchases of Shares are made. If the Company holds Shares in treasury, any resale of Shares held in treasury will be subject to the ordinary resolution numbered 6 of the notice of the AGM and made in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Issue Mandate or the Share Buyback Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

At the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprises (i) three executive Directors namely Mr. Arnold Ip Tin Chee (“Mr. Ip”), Mr. Chang Sean Pey (“Mr. Chang”) and Ms. Leung Churk Yin Jeanny; and (ii) three independent non-executive Directors namely Mr. Chao Tien Yo, Mr. Chan Sun Kwong and Mr. Lee Shu Yin.

Pursuant to Article 84 of the Articles, Mr. Ip and Mr. Chang will retire by rotation at the AGM and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

To enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on the re-election of the retiring Directors, the biographical details, interests in the Shares and the service contracts of each of Mr. Ip and Mr. Chang are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the benefits to board diversity policy of the Company and the performance of the retiring Directors, which is of the opinion that their performance are satisfactory. The Board is of the view that the experience, skill and other perspectives of the retiring Directors as set out in Appendix II to this circular can bring invaluable and effective contributions to the Board and its diversity. With the nomination of the Nomination Committee, the Board has recommended that all the retiring Directors stand for re-election at the AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the retiring Directors has abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting.

(ii) 1,000,000 Awarded Shares proposed to be granted to each of the Executive Director Grantees will be vested within six months from the date of grant (if approved at the AGM).

The Remuneration Committee is of the view that the less than 12-month vesting periods are appropriate as these Share Awards relate to past contributions that form part of a larger bonus package that takes into account such contributions made and potential contributions that are specifically permitted by the 2023 Share Scheme.

  1. Performance target:

There is no performance target attached to the Awarded Shares. The Remuneration Committee is of the view that performance target is not necessary as the Share Awards are proposed to be granted for the Executive Director Grantees' past contributions and to retain and motivate them for their continual contribution to the growth and development of the Group.

  1. Clawback mechanism:

As permitted by the 2023 Share Scheme, there is no clawback mechanism to recover or withhold the remuneration with regard to the Share Awards proposed to be granted to any of the Executive Director Grantees.

  1. Vesting and allotment of Shares:

If approved, upon vesting, the Executive Director Grantees will have an unconditional right to obtain the Award Shares.

The Executive Director Grantees shall take procedures reasonably required by the Company to effect the allotment and issue of the Awarded Shares. The Company shall allot and issue the Awarded Shares on any date (the "Issue Date") as determined by the Company at its discretion, which date in any case shall not be later than one calendar month from the relevant vesting dates.

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Awarded Shares to be issued and allotted to the Executive Director Grantees shall rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid Shares in issue on the relevant Issue Date. The Awarded Shares entitle the Executive Director Grantees to participate in all cash income or other distributions paid or made after the relevant Issue Date, but not in any cash income or distributions previously declared, recommended to be paid or made before the relevant Issue Date.

  1. Reason for and purpose of the grant:

Share Awards are proposed to be granted to reward the Executive Director Grantees for their past contributions and to retain and motivate them for their continual contribution to the growth and development of the Group.

Considering the integral roles of Mr. Chang and Ms. Leung in and contributions to the Group as described in the paragraph headed "5. Information of the Executive Director Grantees" above, the Board recognised them as invaluable and instrumental to the Group's continued success and development. Given their critical importance, retaining and motivating them as key members of the Group's senior management is highly beneficial for its ongoing growth and expansion.

  1. Administration:

The Share Awards shall be subject to the administration of the Board. The Company shall comply with all applicable disclosure requirements in relation to the administration of the Share Awards, including without limitation those imposed by the GEM Listing Rules from time to time.

Following the approval of the proposed grant by the Independent Shareholders at the AGM, the proposed grant of Share Awards to the Executive Director Grantees will be satisfied by issuance of new Shares within the scheme mandate limit under the 2023 Share Scheme.

In acquiring Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, the GEM Listing Rules and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, as the case may be.

Any acquisitions by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company, out of the share premium account of the Company, out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the acquisition or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, out of capital. The premium, if any, payable on acquisitions must be provided for out of the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account of the Company before or at the time the Shares are acquired or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and/or other applicable laws, rules and regulations, out of capital. The Company may cancel such repurchased Shares or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the acquisitions.

For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it does not exercise any Shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in the Company's own name as treasury shares, which may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company would not (or would procure its broker not to) give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will withdraw the treasury shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.

The Company may not acquire its own shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

3. REASONS FOR SHARE BUYBACK

Although the Directors have no present intention of exercising the proposed Share Buyback Mandate, the Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the proposed Share Buyback Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the Share Buyback Mandate may, depending on market conditions and Share price at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such acquisitions will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during the past twelve months and up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month Trading price per Share
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2024
July 0.111 0.104
August 0.113 0.100
September 0.113 0.103
October 0.110 0.106
November 0.110 0.107
December 0.119 0.106
2025
January 0.119 0.118
February 0.127 0.118
March 0.118 0.103
April 0.113 0.104
May 0.112 0.105
June 0.108 0.101
July (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.106 0.106

5. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make acquisitions pursuant to the Share Buyback Mandate and in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

6. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the acquisitions of Shares pursuant to the Share Buyback Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, each of Ms. Chan Kit Lai Cecilia (“Ms. Chan”), Mr. Ip and Ms. Lam Ip Tin Wai Chyvette (“Ms. Ip”) and Landmark Trust Switzerland SA as trustee of The Hecico 1985 Trust is taken to have an interest under the SFO in the same block of 557,200,000 Shares, representing approximately 67.26% of the total number of Share then in issue. Apart from the foregoing, each of Ms. Chan, Mr. Ip and Ms. Ip personally holds 1,250,000 Shares. Ms. Ho Shuk Yee Samantha (“Ms. Ho”), the spouse of Mr. Ip, also personally holds 1,250,000 Shares. For the purpose of the Takeovers Code, Ms. Chan, Mr. Ip, Ms. Ip and Ms. Ho are taken to have an interest in a total of 562,200,000 Shares, representing approximately 67.86% of the total number of Shares in issue.

In the event that the Shares Buyback Mandate is exercised in full by the Company and assuming such shareholdings as at the Latest Practicable Date otherwise remain the same, the attributable shareholding in the Company in which Ms. Chan, Mr. Ip, Ms. Ip and Ms. Ho are taken to have an interest under the SFO would be increased to approximately 75.41% of the total number of Shares in issue. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchases made pursuant to the Share Buyback Mandate.

The Directors do not intend to exercise the power to acquire Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code where applicable.

The Directors will not acquire the Shares on the GEM if the acquisition would result in the number of Shares in the hands of the public falling below 25%, being the relevant minimum prescribed percentage for the Company as required by the GEM Listing Rules.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

7. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their respective knowledge and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Share Buyback Mandate if the Share Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and is exercised.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Share Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. IMPACT OF SHARE BUYBACK

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2025 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Share Buyback Mandate were to be carried out in full during the Relevant Period.

However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buyback Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

9. SHARE ACQUISITIONS MADE BY THE COMPANY

In the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had purchased a total of 590,000 Shares on the Stock Exchange, details of which are as follows:

Date of purchases Number of Shares Purchased Price per Share Highest price paid HK$ Lowest price paid HK$
1. 3 April 2025 160,000 0.108 0.107
2. 8 April 2025 80,000 0.11 0.11
3. 11 April 2025 100,000 0.108 0.108
4. 15 April 2025 100,000 0.108 0.108
5. 17 April 2025 150,000 0.107 0.107
590,000

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

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