CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized 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.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required under the GEM Listing Rules to provide the requisite information to the Shareholders for consideration of the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 265,608,018 Shares and the Company did not hold any Treasury Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of AGM (or no sale or transfer of Treasury Shares), the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 26,560,801 Shares during the Relevant Period.
2. SOURCE OF FUNDS
The Directors propose that the repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate would be financed from the Company’s internal resources.
In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds which are legally available for such purposes in accordance with the constitutive documents of the Company, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company will not purchase the Shares on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules.
3. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
Although the Directors have no present intention of exercising the proposed Repurchase Mandate, the Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the proposed Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions 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 repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

4. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Share Price | ||
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2025 | ||
| April | 0.118 | 0.086 |
| May | 0.088 | 0.048 |

| February | 1.970 | 1.280 |
| March | 2.180 | 1.390 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 1.940 | 1.740 |
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 repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Articles of Association, the memorandum of association of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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.
– 10 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, according to the register of interests in Shares and short positions required to be kept by the Company under section 336 of the SFO, the following Shareholder was interested in more than 5% of the Shares in issue:
| Approximate | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| percentage of | ||||
| total number | ||||
| of Shares | ||||
| Approximate | (assuming the | |||
| percentage | Repurchase | |||
| of total | Mandate is | |||
| Number of | number of | exercised | ||
| Name of Shareholder | Capacity | Shares held | Shares | in full) |
| Li Shaohui | Substantial shareholder | 51,000,000 | 19.20% | 21.33% |
In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, the increase in the above shareholdings in the Company would not give rise to an obligation of any of the above substantial Shareholder to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code and would not result in an insufficient public float of less than 25% of the total number of the issued Shares.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or result in the number of the Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of the Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may be prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the GEM Listing Rules).
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 (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and is exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate.
– 11 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company (i) has notified the Company that he/it has a present intention to sell any Shares (ii) has undertaken to the Company that he/it will not sell any Shares held by he/it to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
8. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE
As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital 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 REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
10. GENERAL
If the Company repurchases Shares pursuant to the Repurchase 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 no. 6 in the AGM Notice and made in accordance with the Articles and Associations, GEM Listing Rules and all the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
To the extent that any Treasury Shares are deposited with CCASS pending resale, 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. These measures may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company will not (or procure its broker not to) give any instructions to HKSCC 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 Directors confirm that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
