LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 21 May 2025, the Shareholders granted a general mandate for the Directors to allot and issue Shares. The said mandate will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.
At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed in respect of granting the Directors the Issue Mandate, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares up to 20% of the aggregate number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 800,000,000 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Issue Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 160,000,000 Shares.
Pursuant to the Listing Rules, unless the Stock Exchange agrees otherwise, in the event the Issue Mandate is exercised and Shares are placed for cash consideration under the Issue Mandate, the issue price of the Shares may not be at a price which represents a discount of 20% or more to the benchmarked price of the Shares, such benchmarked price being the higher of:
-
(i) the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the relevant placing agreement or other agreement involving the proposed issue of securities under the Issue Mandate; and
-
(ii) the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange in the 5 trading days immediately prior to the earlier of:

-
(c) the date on which the placing or subscription price is fixed.
In terms of the price at which Shares may be issued at time of exercise of the Issue Mandate, the Company will comply with the then prevailing requirements under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED REPURCHASE MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 21 May 2025, the Shareholders granted a general mandate for the Directors to repurchase Shares. The said mandate will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.
At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed to grant the Directors the Repurchase Mandate, i.e. a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase, on the Stock Exchange, or on any other stock exchanges on which the Shares may be listed and which is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange for this purpose, Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. In addition, an ordinary resolution regarding the Extension Mandate will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to authorise the increase in the total number of new Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Issue Mandate by an additional number representing such number of Shares actually repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.
The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate would expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by the Companies Act or the Articles of Association to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) when revoked or varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.
Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give its Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting. An explanatory statement for such purpose is set out in Appendix I to this circular.
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprises Mr. Zhang Liang Johnson as the executive Director, and Mr. Xu Liang, Mr. Chen Johnson Xi and Ms. Zhang Yibo as the independent non-executive Directors.
Pursuant to Article 84(1) and (2) of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their 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 an annual general meeting 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.
— 5 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Pursuant to Article 84(1) and (2) of the Articles of Association, each of Mr. Xu Liang and Ms. Zhang Yibo will retire at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, each of them will offer himself or herself for re-election as an independent non-executive Director at the Annual General Meeting.
The Company’s nomination committee also approves the nomination of the retiring Directors (with the relevant Director abstaining from approving his/her own nomination) for re-election and has recommended the same to the Board. In approving the nominations, members of the nomination committee have taken into account a range of diversity perspectives, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service. The ultimate decision was also based on merit and contribution that the existing Directors have brought to the Board.
The Board is of the view that each of the independent non-executive Director who are subject to re-election at the AGM has provided valuable contributions to the Company and demonstrated his/her ability to provide an independent, balanced and objective view to the Company’s matters during his/her tenure of office. The nomination committee has reviewed and assessed the independence of Mr. Xu Liang and Ms. Zhang Yibo and has formed the view that each of them has met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the terms of the guidelines, taking into account, among others, his/her ability to exercise independent judgment in relation to the Company’s affairs by scrutinising and monitoring the operation of the Board during his/her tenure of office and his/her annual confirmation of independence to the Company.
Resolutions will be proposed for the re-election of each of the retiring Directors at the Annual General Meeting. Particulars of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING M&A
As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 10 April 2026, the Board proposes to amend the Existing M&A, among other things, to (i) align the Existing M&A with the expanded paperless listing regime, the electronic dissemination of corporate communications by listed issuers, the treasury shares regime under the Listing Rules, and the preparations for transition to uncertificated securities market under the Securities and Futures (Uncertificated Securities Market) Rules (Cap. 571AS); and (ii) incorporate various consequential and housekeeping changes. The Board proposes that the Company adopts the Amended M&A with the Proposed Amendments in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the Existing M&A.
Please refer to Appendix III to this circular for the Proposed Amendments.
The Amended M&A is prepared in the English language. The Chinese translation of the Amended M&A is for reference only. In case there are any inconsistencies between the English version and its Chinese translation, the English version shall prevail.
— 6 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The legal advisers to the Company as to Hong Kong law and Cayman Islands law have respectively confirmed that the Proposed Amendments conform with the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules and do not contravene or violate Cayman Islands laws. The Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the Proposed Amendments for a Cayman Islands company listed on the Stock Exchange.
The adoption of the Amended M&A is subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the AGM. Prior to the passing of the relevant special resolution at the AGM and closure of the AGM, the Existing M&A shall remain valid.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
At the Annual General Meeting, ordinary resolutions or special resolution (as the case may be) will be proposed to approve, among other matters, the following:
-
(a) the grant of the Issue Mandate;
-
(b) the grant of the Repurchase Mandate;
-
(c) the grant of the Extension Mandate;
-
(d) the re-election of retiring Directors; and
-
(e) the adoption of the Amended M&A.
Set out on pages 32 to 37 of this circular is the notice convening the Annual General Meeting. A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders in respect of the Annual General Meeting is also enclosed. Whether or not the Shareholders are able to attend the Annual General Meeting, they are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy and return it to the Hong Kong branch share registrar of the Company, Union Registrars Limited, at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Annual General Meeting (i.e. by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 19 May 2026 (Hong Kong Time)) or any adjournment thereof.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information as to the Repurchase Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general repurchase mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 800,000,000 Shares in issue.
Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares.
3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchanges on which the Shares are listed. Share repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing the Company’s securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Companies Act and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it may have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 December 2025, being the date to which the Company’s latest audited consolidated financial statements are made up. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
5. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:
| Highest | Lowest | |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2025 | ||
| April | 0.235 | 0.150 |
| May | 0.216 | 0.170 |
| June | 0.270 | 0.170 |
| July | 0.215 | 0.180 |
| August | 0.247 | 0.184 |
| September | 0.315 | 0.180 |
| October | 0.360 | 0.191 |
| November | 0.235 | 0.185 |
| December | 0.255 | 0.188 |
| 2026 | ||
| January | 0.270 | 0.200 |
| February | 0.210 | 0.195 |
| March | 0.228 | 0.169 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.183 | 0.163 |
6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of 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 the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could, depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interests, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Yoho Bravo Limited (which is wholly-owned by Mr. Zhang Liang Johnson, the chairman of the Board and an executive Director of the Company) was interested in 599,658,000 Shares, representing approximately 74.96% of all issued Shares. As Yoho Bravo Limited’s shareholding in the Company exceeds 50% of the total voting rights in the Company, even if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, it will not be required to make a general offer for all Shares not already held or agreed to be acquired by it. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the amount of Shares held by the public to be reduced to below 25%.
— 10 —
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
7. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
8. GENERAL
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
None of the core connected persons has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell his/her/its Shares to the Company, nor has he/she/it undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association, and the Companies Act.
The Directors confirmed that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
