To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

(1) VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL DISPOSAL OF SALE SHARES; AND

(2) NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 7 August 2024 in relation to the Disposal. On 26 July 2024 (after trading hours), the Vendors, the Purchaser and the Target Company entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which each of the Vendors has conditionally agreed to dispose of, and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

acquire, the Sale Shares, representing an aggregate of approximately 12.87% of the issued shares of the Target Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, at the Consideration of US$101,533,292.15 (equivalent to approximately HK$793.0 million).

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceeds 75%, the Disposal will constitute a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among others, (i) further details of the Disposal; (ii) financial and other information of the Group; (iii) unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group; (iv) a valuation report of the Sale Shares; (v) other information required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules; and (vi) the notice of the SGM.

THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are set out below:

Date: 26 July 2024 (after trading hours) Parties: (i) the Company, as one of the Vendors (ii) Global 3D, as one of the Vendors (iii) the Purchaser (iv) the Target Company

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) is an Independent Third Party.

Assets to be disposed of

The 4,931,588 Sale Shares, comprising 792,818 Series C-1 preferred stock and 4,138,770 Series B preferred stock owned by the Company and Global 3D, respectively, which in aggregate represent approximately 12.87% of the shares of the Target Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Consideration and payment terms

The Consideration for the Sale Shares is US$101,533,292.15 (equivalent to approximately HK$793.0 million), which shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendors in the following manner:

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (i) at Initial Closing, as to US$14,999,994.90 (equivalent to approximately HK$117.1 million) with respect to the Initial Shares, being 657,030 Sale Shares at the purchase price of US$22.83 per share, to be paid after all the conditions precedent have been fulfilled (or waived, where applicable) (as detailed in the below section headed ‘‘Conditions precedent to Closing’’); and

  • (ii) at Subsequent Closing(s), as to US$86,533,297.25 (equivalent to approximately HK$675.8 million) with respect to the Subsequent Shares, being the remaining 4,274,558 Sale Shares at the purchase price of US$20.2438 per share.

The Consideration was determined and informed by the Target Company and the Purchaser with reference to recent transaction(s) of the sale and purchase of the Target Company’s equity capital.

In light of the Sale Shares are unlisted and having considered that there were only two shares transfer transactions within six months prior to the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Board is of the view that such transactions were the best and only reference available on the market which adequately cover the prevailing capital market conditions and sentiments in the United States, and hence the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

Conditions precedent to Closing

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares shall be conditional upon the fulfillment of the following conditions precedent:

  • (i) all necessary consents and approvals as may be required to be obtained by each of the Vendors in respect of the Closings under the Listing Rules, the bye-laws of the Company and/or any other applicable laws and regulations having been obtained or (where applicable) waived by the Stock Exchange;

  • (ii) the representations and warranties of the Purchaser remaining true and correct in all material respects as of the date and time of such Closing, and the Purchaser having performed all obligations and agreements, and complied with all covenants and conditions contained therein on the Purchaser’s part to be performed and complied with;

  • (iii) the Purchaser having delivered the relevant closing deliverables in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement;

  • (iv) the representations and warranties of each of the Vendors remaining true and correct in all material respects as of the date and time of such Closing, and each of the Vendors having performed all obligations and agreements, and complied with all covenants and conditions contained therein on each Vendor’s part to be performed and complied with; and

  • (v) each Vendor having delivered the relevant closing deliverables in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The above conditions precedent may be waived only in writing by the forbearing party.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the approval from Shareholders at the SGM to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder is the only outstanding consents and approvals required to be obtained on the part of the Company as referred to condition (i) above. For all the other conditions precedent, the Company expects such conditions will be fulfilled at Closing.

Escrow arrangement

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the certificates for the Sale Shares shall be deposited in escrow on or before the Initial Closing with a law firm acting on behalf of the Target Company for such escrow. The applicable number of Sale Shares shall be (i) surrendered to the Purchaser at each Closing upon the Purchaser performing and observing its obligations with respect to such Closing, including without limitation payment of the relevant consideration with respect to the Sale Shares to the Vendors; or (ii) released to each Vendor to the extent that the Purchaser has not purchased all the Sale Shares by the Long Stop Date.

Given the certificates for the Sale Shares will be deposited in escrow with a law firm, the Board is of the view that the interest can be safeguarded notwithstanding the time gap between the Initial Closing and the Subsequent Closing(s).

Closings

The Purchaser shall purchase the Sale Shares at one or more Closings. The Closings shall take place after all the conditions precedent to the Sale and Purchase Agreement have been fulfilled. At each Closing, each Vendor shall deliver to the Target Company the stock certificate(s), or authorise the Target Company to remove any such stock certificates from escrow for cancellation and reissuance to the Purchaser, representing (i) the Initial Shares with respect to the Initial Closing; or (ii) the applicable number of Subsequent Shares with respect to a Subsequent Closing, evidencing such Sale Shares in the Purchaser’s name.

Initial Closing

The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Closing to take place on the date that is six weeks following the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (or such other date as the parties shall mutually agree in writing). On or prior to the Initial Closing, the Vendors shall deliver a resignation letter by the director appointed by the Vendors as a director of the Board of Target Company with effect from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and execute any agreements, consents and other documents necessary to remove the Vendors’ right to designate a member of the Board of Target Company (including amendments to the Target Company’s voting agreement or certificate of incorporation).

Subsequent Closing(s)

The parties further agreed that the sale and purchase of the Subsequent Shares shall be completed prior to the Long Stop Date, provided that the Purchaser provides a not less than 5- business day notice in writing to the Vendors of the proposed date(s) of Subsequent Closing(s) along with the number of Sale Shares to be purchased from each Vendor and the aggregate consideration payable by the Purchaser to such Vendor related to such Subsequent Closing(s).

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For each Subsequent Closing, the parties agreed that a pro rata number of Series B preferred stock and Series C-1 preferred stock will be sold (i.e., the same percentage of Series B preferred stock, relative to the remaining amount of Series B preferred stock, as the percentage of Series C-1 preferred stock, relative to the remaining amount of Series C-1 preferred stock) and the payment of the applicable portion of the Consideration shall be made to each Vendor based on the number of Subsequent Shares such Vendor is selling in such Subsequent Closing.

Taking into consideration that (i) it is not commercially viable to locate other purchasers given the very sensitive nature of the business of the Target Company and the restrictions in respect of disclosing information to other potential buyers (if any) under the United States laws; (ii) it is commercially reasonable to allow sufficient time for the Purchaser for its funding arrangement in light of the significant amount of the Consideration; and (iii) the final Subsequent Closing can be completed any time prior to the Long Stop Date and that it is reasonable for the Purchaser to ask for buffer time to arrange for completion, the Board is of the view that the time gap between Initial Closing and final Subsequent Closing is fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at 31 December 2023, the carrying value of the Sale Shares amounted to approximately HK$899.0 million. Based on the valuation report as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the valuation of the Sale Shares as appraised by Vision Appraisal and Consulting Limited, an independent firm of qualified professional valuer (the ‘‘Valuer’’), amounted to US$90,400,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$706.0 million) as at 30 June 2024.

In arriving at the fair value of the Sale Shares as at 30 June 2024, the Valuer adopted the market approach in valuing the Sale Shares with reference to recent transactions within six months prior to the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, which the Valuer considers it adequately covers the prevailing capital market conditions and sentiments in the United States with sufficient and representative number of transactions after taking into account of the Sale Shares are unlisted.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company had been accounted for as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of the Company. Upon final Subsequent Closing, each of the Company and Global 3D will cease to have any interest in the Target Company. The Directors are of the view that the Disposal will not result in any material adverse impact on the operation of the core business of the Group.

Earnings

For the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group recorded an audited loss and loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year of approximately HK$869.0 million and HK$860.5 million, respectively. Based on the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Remaining Group’’ as set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the final Subsequent Closing had taken place on 1 January 2023, the unaudited pro forma consolidated loss and consolidated loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of the Remaining Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 would be approximately HK$978.0 million and HK$969.6 million, respectively.

Subject to final audit by the auditors of the Company, the Group expects to record a loss from the Disposal of approximately HK$106.0 million, which is calculated with reference to (i) the Consideration of US$101,533,292.15 (equivalent to approximately HK$793.0 million); and (ii) the fair value of the Sale Shares of approximately HK$899.0 million as at 31 December 2023.

Assets and liabilities

According to the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023, the audited consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2023 were approximately HK$3,919.7 million and HK$578.2 million, respectively. Based on the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Remaining Group’’ as set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the final Subsequent Closing had taken place on 31 December 2023, the unaudited pro forma consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Remaining Group as at 31 December 2023 would be approximately HK$3,810.6 million and HK$578.2 million, respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

It is expected that the Company will receive net proceeds of approximately HK$790.0 million from the Disposal after deducting the estimated transaction costs and professional expenses of approximately HK$3.0 million.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Disposal as follows.

  • (i) approximately HK$711.0 million for research and development of hypercars and EVs; and

  • (ii) approximately HK$79.0 million for general working capital including salary payments, legal and professional fees and other general corporate purposes.

The Company is given to understand by the Target Company that the Target Company has been applying facility clearance (‘‘FCL’’) status from the United States Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency in order to obtain classified defense contracts. The technology used by the Target Company has been identified as classified by the United States, which consequently triggers regulations under the United States Department of State’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations (‘‘ITAR’’) and/or the United States Department of the Treasury’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (‘‘CFIUS’’). Given the sensitive nature of defense applications of this technology, strict compliance with these regulations is mandatory to avoid any legal ramifications. In this circumstance where the Group’s shareholding in the Target Company exceeds the foreign ownership threshold (the ‘‘Threshold’’) triggering the United States laws and regulations that would hinder the Target Company to obtain classified defense contracts in the United States. Hence, the Target Company has requested and facilitated the divestiture of its foreign shareholders exceeding the Threshold. The Purchaser, whose ultimate beneficiary owner is an existing shareholder of the Target Company, was designated by the Target Company as the purchaser to facilitate the Disposal.

As the application of FCL will trigger the scrutiny of the relevant United States government departments, including the CFIUS, therefore, the Target Company and the Group may be exposed to material legal risks, including substantial fines and other penalties. Moreover, considering that the Target Company possesses sensitive technology, the Group’s continued ownership of the Sale Shares which exceeded the Threshold may constitute a potential risk to the United States national security and could become a target of United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control for either secondary sanction or directly by freezing the Group’s United States assets or its assets in the hands of United States persons/entities. Furthermore, the Group’s continued shareholdings in a United States military supplier or contractor may expose the Group and the Shareholders to political risk in view of (i) the intensified tension between the PRC and the United States, in particular, the United States presidential election will set the course for relations with the PRC for the next four years; and (ii) the background of the major Shareholders, which comprise Shareholders controlled by the Shanghai Municipal Government and Shareholders with positions held in the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In light of the above and taking into consideration (i) that the continued shareholdings in a United States military supplier or contractor may expose the Group to potential political and legal risk; (ii) that the Group has indeed no other option and the pressing circumstances are such that no one has any luxury to act as if this were an ordinary commercial transaction; (iii) of the net proceeds to be received from the Disposal; (iv) that the Consideration of approximately HK$793.0 million is substantially higher than the investment cost of the Company in the Sale Shares of approximately HK$469.4 million; (v) that the Consideration is close to the book value (which was measured at fair value) of such investment as recorded in the latest audited accounts of the Company; and (vi) that the Consideration is higher than the fair value of the Sale Shares as at 30 June 2024 based on the valuation of the Sale Shares as appraised by the Valuer, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal represents an opportunity for the Company to exit from investing in the Target Company enabling the Group to redeploy its resources and efforts to other suitable business opportunities with better potential, and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (including the Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable, and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceeds 75%, the Disposal will constitute a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

WAIVER FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH RULES 14.58(7) AND 14.68(2)(A)(I)(A) OF THE LISTING RULES

Pursuant to Rule 14.58(7) of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to include in this circular the net profits (both before and after taxation) attributable to the assets which are the subject of the transaction for the two financial years immediately preceding the transaction.

Pursuant to Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to include in this circular the financial information of the business, company or companies being disposed of for the three preceding financial years.

As advised by the Company’s legal adviser as to the United States law, the Company is restricted from disclosing the Target Company’s financial information to the public by the relevant confidentiality clauses contained in the investors’ rights agreement entered into by the Group at the time of subscribing the equities of the Target Company. Moreover, the Target Company is prohibited from disclosing its export-controlled information (including but not limited to financial information) to non-United States persons under ITAR and the United States Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations and subject to regulation by the CFIUS.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given that the Company would not be able to disclose those information due to the restrictions under the relevant laws and regulations of the United States, the Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rules 14.58(7) and 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Listing Rules.

The SGM

The SGM will be convened at 15th Floor, Tower One, Lippo Centre, 89 Queensway, Admiralty, Hong Kong on Thursday, 5 September 2024 at 11:00 a.m. for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among other things, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has any material interest in the Disposal as contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Therefore, none of the Shareholders and their associates is required to abstain from voting in the SGM to be convened by the Company for the approval of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed with this circular. Such form of proxy is also published on the website of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the website of the Company (www.apollofmg.com). Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the commencement of the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish, and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

VOTING AT THE SGM

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the 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. The chairman of the SGM will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the SGM. An announcement will be made by the Company following the conclusion of the SGM to inform Shareholders of the results of SGM.

APPENDIX II

Mobility technology solutions segment

For the year ended 30 September 2021, the revenue generated from mobility technology solutions segment amounted to approximately HK$104.8 million.

For the fifteen months ended 31 December 2022, the revenue generated from mobility technology solutions segment amounted to approximately HK$218.8 million.

The Group’s sales and purchases during the financial year/period for 30 September 2021, 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2023 were mostly denominated in HK$, RMB, EUR and Japanese Yen. The Group was exposed to certain foreign currency exchange risks but it does not anticipate future currency fluctuations to cause material operational difficulties or liquidity problems. Nevertheless, the Group continuously monitors its foreign exchange position and, when necessary, will hedge foreign exchange exposure arising from contractual commitments in sourcing products from overseas suppliers.

Employees and Remuneration Policies

As at 30 September 2021, 31 December 2022 and 2023, the Remaining Group had 193, 139 and 42 employees, respectively.

The related employees’ costs (including Directors’ remuneration) for the year ended 30 September 2021, the fifteen months ended 31 December 2022 and the year ended 31 December 2023 amounted to approximately HK$129.6 million, HK$177.4 million and HK$66.6 million, respectively. In addition to basic salary, employees are entitled to other benefits including those under social insurance contribution, employee provident fund schemes and share option scheme of the Company. The remuneration of employees was in line with market trend and commensurate to the levels of pay in the industry and to the performance of individual employees that are regularly reviewed each year.

The annual salary of Directors is determined by reference to their performance for the year, experience, qualification, duties and responsibilities in the Company and the prevailing market rate and will be subject to review by the remuneration committee of the Company and the Board from time to time.

Pledged Assets

As at 30 September 2021, 31 December 2022 and 2023, the Remaining Group’s freehold land and buildings, certain building including right-of-use assets and accounts receivable, with an aggregate carrying amount of approximately HK$114.9 million, HK$120.1 million and HK$35.2 million, respectively, were pledged to secure certain bank loans to the Remaining Group of principal amount of approximately HK$91.5 million, HK$46.2 million and HK$13.1 million, respectively.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, in December 2021, the Subsidiary filed a defence and counterclaim against the Borrower for the loan principal, interests and other costs. Based on the advice obtained from a legal counsel of the Group, the claim is at early stage and the Subsidiary is considered to have

a good defence against the Borrower and a good cause of action against the Borrower in the counterclaim. Accordingly, the Directors consider that it is appropriate to disclose such claim as contingent liabilities as at 30 September 2021, 31 December 2022 and no provision has been made in the consolidated financial statements.

It operates over 7,600 charging sites and over 38,000 charging piles (or 72,000 charging bays), covering over 60 cities in the country. The Group’s investment in EV Power represents an opportunity for the Group to create strong synergies with EV Power through the Group’s proprietary EV technologies and thereby completing the full value chain of mobility. Further details of the investment by the said Hong Kong-listed global telecommunications services provider are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 25 February 2021.

Save as disclosed above, during the year ended 30 September 2021, the fifteen months ended 31 December 2022 and the year ended 31 December 2023, the Remaining Group had not carried out any material acquisition or disposal of subsidiary or associate company or make any significant investments not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Remaining Group.

A. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REMAINING GROUP

The information set out in this appendix is included herein for information only. The unaudited pro forma financial information set out below should be read in conjunction with the financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix I of this circular and other financial information included elsewhere in this circular.

The followings are illustrative and unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position, pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss and pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the Remaining Group (the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information’’), which have been prepared in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of illustrating the effect of the completion of the Disposal on the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023 as if the completion of the Disposal had taken place on 31 December 2023, and the financial performance and cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023 as if the completion of the Disposal had taken place on 1 January 2023.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared on the basis of the notes below based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information. Accordingly, the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to describe the actual financial position of the Remaining Group that would have been attained had the Disposal been completed on 31 December 2023, and the financial performance and cash flows of the Remaining Group that would have been attained had the Disposal been completed on 1 January 2023. Neither does the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information purport to predict the future financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Remaining Group.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purpose only and because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Remaining Group had the Disposal been completed on 31 December 2023, or any future date, and the financial performance and cash flows of the Remaining Group had the Disposal been completed on 1 January 2023, or any future date.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information of the Group as set out in its published annual report for the year ended 31 December 2023 and other financial information included elsewhere in this Circular.

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Apollo Future Mobility Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) by the directors of the Company (the ‘‘Directors’’) for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2023, and related notes as set out on pages III-1 to III-8 of the circular dated 21 August 2024 (the ‘‘Circular’’) issued by the Company (the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information’’). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages III-1 to III-8 of the Circular.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the disposal of an aggregate of 4,931,588 preferred shares of Divergent Technologies Inc. (the ‘‘Disposal’’) on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2023 as if the Disposal had taken place at 31 December 2023 and 1 January 2023, respectively. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 as set out in the annual report of the Company dated 28 March 2024.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Directors are responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’) and with reference to Accounting Guideline (‘‘AG’’) 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’).

OUR INDEPENDENCE AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Management 1 Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountants plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE REMAINING GROUP

APPENDIX III

The purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of the Disposal on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the Disposal had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Disposal would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the Disposal, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and.

  • the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the Disposal in respect of which the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

OPINION

In our opinion:

  • (a) the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

7. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

7.1 Valuation of the Equity Interest in the Target Company

In conducting the valuation, we have considered three generally accepted approaches, including income approach, market approach and cost approach.

7.1.1 Income Approach

Income approach measures the value of an asset by the present value of its future economic benefits. These benefits can include earnings, cost savings, tax deductions and proceeds from its disposition.

7.1.2 Market Approach

The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the asset with identical or comparable (that is similar) assets for which price information is available.

7.1.3 Cost Approach

Cost approach measures the value of an asset by the cost to reproduce or replace it with another of like utility. To the extent that the asset being valued provides less utility than a new asset, the reproduction or replacement cost would be adjusted to reflect appropriate physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence.

7.1.4 Adopted Approach

Basis of Selection

The selection of the valuation approach in valuing the Target Company is based on, among other criteria, the quantity and quality of the information provided, accessibility to available data, availability of relevant market transactions, uniqueness of the Target Company’s business operations and nature of the industry the Target Company is participating.

The market approach was adopted as it is considered to be the most appropriate valuation approach in this valuation as (i) it requires far fewer subjective assumptions than the income approach; (ii) it is more likely to reflect current market expectations over the corresponding industry as compared to the cost approach; and (iii) relevant market transactions were available.

Valuation Methodology under the Market Approach

Under the market approach, there are a number of valuation methods that are generally accepted and used in the market, including (i) market multiple method, such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book, price-to-sales, enterprise value/earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization multiples,

– IV-5 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

and (ii) comparable market transaction method that utilizes information on transactions involving assets that are the same or similar to the subject asset to arrive at an indication of value. However, these methods do not consider the equity allocation and are only applicable in the valuation of companies with simple capital structure or in the valuation of the fair value of the companies as a whole, without considering equity allocation. Taking into account (i) the Target Company is a privately-owned company with a complicated capital structure consisting of multiple equity class; (ii) the purpose of the valuation is to derive the fair value of the specific classes of share held by the Company (i.e. PS B and PS C-1); (iii) recent transactions of the shares of the Target Company were available; (iv) the market practice in the valuation of companies with similar complex capital structures, we considered that the backsolve method as the most suitable valuation method among other valuation methods under the market approach.

The backsolve method is a generally accepted and commonly used method in the market for the valuation of private companies having complex capital structure consisting of multiple equity classes like common or preferred shares, warrants, options or convertible securities.

The Target Company is a privately-owned company with a complicated capital structure consisting of multiple equity classes and hence we considered that the backsolve method is the most suitable valuation method and it is in line with market practice.

The backsolve method relies on the option-pricing method to determine a value for the shares using recent transactions prices. Further explanation is set out in Section 7.2 — Valuation of the PS issued by the Target Company.

7.2 Valuation of the PS issued by the Target Company

Under option-pricing method, common stock and preferred stock are considered as portfolio of call options on the equity value of an enterprise. Suppose a company has a simple equity structure, including one class of preference shares and common shares. The common shares can be considered as a contingent claim on the equity value with liquidation preferences of the preferred stock as its exercise price at a prescribed point of time, for example, successful exit or failure. This behavior can be modeled as a call option and the preferred shares will then be residual value of the equity value over the above common share value. This method provides a systemic framework to consider seniorities of equity securities. Hence, we considered the backsolve method relies on the option-pricing method is the most suitable method for the valuation of PS B and PS C-1 of the Target Company.

  • (g) Based on the discount for lack of marketability of 15.7%, with reference to Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide 2023 Edition.

7.2.2 Expected Volatility

Since the Target Company is a private company with no share transaction in public market, the expected volatility was determined with reference to the historical volatility of the share prices of the publicly listed companies that are considered to be comparable to the Target Company (the ‘‘Comparable Companies’’).

Due to the fact that there is no company that is exactly the same as the Target Company, a set of the Comparable Companies must be selected in valuing the Target Company. To determine the set of the Comparable Companies, we mainly focused on the following perspectives during the selection process from the public resources (e.g. Bloomberg), including:

  • (i) The companies are principally engaged in three-dimensional printing industry; and

– IV-7 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

  • (ii) Sufficiency of information (such as listing and operating histories, and availability of the financial information to the public).

Based on the abovementioned selection criteria, we considered the set of the Comparable Companies adopted in the valuation is exhaustive. Details of the Comparable Companies are listed as follows:

The expected volatility was determined with reference to the historical volatility of the share prices of the Comparable Companies as of Date of Valuation. The volatility ranged from approximately 25% to 46% and the median was approximately 31%.

7.2.3 Recent Transactions

According to the information provided by the Management, shares of the Target Company were transferred between other existing shareholders of the Target Company and independent third parties at a consideration of US$22.83 per share on 5 April 2024 and US$20.625 per share on 25 June 2024 respectively, which were the most recent transactions for assessing our valuation of the Target Company. We considered that the period in which these recent transactions took place adequately covers the prevailing capital market conditions and sentiments in the United States and these recent transactions are sufficient and representative after taking into account that the Target Company is unlisted. We also considered that the number of transactions adopted in our valuation is in line with market practice.

With reference to general market practice, a single recent transaction is commonly used to derive the valuation result under the backsolve method. This is because a single recent transaction represents a funding process, which reflects the

– IV-9 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

investors’ expectations and appraisal of a private company. Therefore, it is generally considered by the market that a single recent transaction is representative under the backsolve mothold.

In the preparation of the valuation of the Target Company, we have considered two recent transactions of the Target Company, taking into account that (i) the transaction dates of these two transactions were close to each other and were close to the valuation date; (ii) these were the only two shares transfer transactions within six months prior to the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (iii) these two recent transaction may reflect the investors’ expectations and appraisal of the Target Company under the most current market sentiment; and (iv) it is in line with market practice to use the most recent transaction (even if there is only one transaction to take reference to) under the backsolve model. We considered our valuation method adopted as a reasonable and is in line with market practice.

7.3 Disposal of Shares held by the Company and its Subsidiary

On 26 July 2024, the Company and Global 3D Printing Co Ltd, a direct whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Target Company and Lateralus Holdings IV, LLC, an independent third party purchaser (the ‘‘Purchaser’’) in relation to the sales of the PS B and the PS C-1 at the Consideration of US$101,533,292.15 (the ‘‘Disposal’’).

According to the Management, the Company is given to understand by the Target Company that the shares of the Target Company held by the Company and Global 3D Printing Co Ltd exceeds the foreign ownership threshold (the ‘‘Threshold’’) triggering the United States laws and regulations that would hinder the Target Company to obtain classified defense contracts in the United States. Hence, the Target Company has requested and facilitated the divestiture of its foreign shareholders exceeding the Threshold. The Purchaser, who is an existing shareholder of the Target Company, was designated by the Target Company as the purchaser to facilitate the Disposal.

As the Company and its subsidiary sold the PS B and the PS C-1 under a pressing circumstance without a proper marketing period, an adjustment of marketability was adopted to reflect the lack of a market for selling the PS B and the PS C-1 in a normal business condition with sufficient time to look for a higher compensation. In our valuation, the discount for lack of marketability of 15.7% was adopted, with reference to Stout Restricted Stock Study Companion Guide 2023 Edition.

7.4 Valuation Computation

In the valuation of the PS B and the PS C-1, the backsolve model was employed to seek the implied equity values of the Target Company as of 5 April 2024 and 25 June 2024 respectively.

The backsolve method is the application of equity allocation model in reverse. Similar to a conventional equity allocation model, it makes use of the option-pricing concept which perceived the common shares and preferred shares as a portfolio of call

– IV-10 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

options on the equity value of an enterprise. Suppose a company has a simple equity structure, including one class of preference shares and common shares. The common shares can be considered as a contingent claim on the equity value with liquidation preferences of the preferred stock as its exercise price at a prescribed point of time, for example, successful exit or failure. This behavior can be modeled as a call option and the preferred shares will then be residual value of the equity value over the above common share value. This method provides a systemic framework to consider seniorities of equity securities.

The equity allocation model computes the value that can be allocated to each class of share and then the backsolve method is applied such that the allocated value per share is exactly equal to the recent transaction price, being US$22.83 per share for shares transfer on 5 April 2024 and US$20.625 per share for shares transfer on 25 June 2024. The equity value derived from this process to match the allocated value to each of the recent transaction price is the implied equity value of the Target Company. After the equity value of the Target Company was determined, the equity value was allocated to the various classes of equity based on the economic and control rights under two different scenarios: liquidation scenario and non-liquidation scenario to different classes of shares by adopting an equity allocation model.

The following table extracted the implied equity value per share of PS B and the PS C-1, derived from the backsolve method using the recent transaction prices and the parameters as detailed in section 7.2.1:
