Reference is made to (i) the prospectus of Amuse Group Holding Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”) dated 18 May 2018 (the “ Prospectus ”), which contained the proposed use of net proceeds (the “ Net Proceeds ”) raised from the share offer of the Company and (ii) the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020 published by the Company on 24 June 2020 (the “ Annual Report 2020 ”) in respect of the utilisation of the Net Proceeds as at 31 March 2020.

Note 1 : Due to the Anti-ELAB Movement from June, 2019, both the design and licensing approval process have been slowed down or stopped. Moreover, because of outbreak of COVID 19, the effect is extremely serious that not only the design and licensing approval process, but also the product supply chain has been lockdown. All of China suppliers resumed their work from April, 2020 and became normal until June. As the Group expects the effect of COVID 19 will continue until next year beginning. Therefore, we expect to fully utilize the relevant proceeds on or before 31 March, 2022.
