STATUS OF SATISFACTION OF THE COMPLETION CONDITIONS
As disclosed in the Announcement, the making of the Offer is subject to Completion taking place, and Completion is in turn conditional upon the satisfaction or waiver (if applicable) of the Completion Conditions on or prior to the Long Stop Date or the Extended Long Stop Date (if extended by the Offeror).
The Company and the Offeror would like to update the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company that, on 25 November 2025, Completion Condition (e) has been satisfied. Accordingly, as at the date of this joint announcement, Completion Conditions (b) and (e) have been satisfied and the other Completion Conditions have not been satisfied and/or waived.
AMENDMENT AGREEMENT TO SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND EXTENSION OF LONG STOP DATE
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Offeror shall be entitled to, at its sole discretion, extend the Long Stop Date (being 25 November 2025) to the Extended Long Stop Date (being 25 February 2026) by giving notice in writing to the Seller and paying to the Seller the Further Deposit in an amount equal to HK$140,708,720 (which amounts to 5% of the total consideration for the Sale Shares) no later than the Long Stop Date.
Given the timing considerations relating to the reporting procedures of the relevant authorities and the holiday period in the first quarter of 2026, additional time is expected to be required for the satisfaction of Completion Condition (c). In the light of the circumstances, the Offeror and the Seller entered into an amendment agreement to the Share Purchase Agreement (the "Amendment Agreement") on 25 November 2025 to amend certain terms of the Share Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, (i) the Extended Long Stop Date has been changed from 25 February 2026 to 25 March 2026 and (ii) the amount of the Further Deposit has been changed from HK$140,708,720 (which amounts to 5% of the total consideration for the Sale Shares) to HK$164,160,173.33 (which amounts to approximately 5.83% of the total consideration of the Sale Shares). Subsequent to the execution of the Amendment Agreement, the Offeror shall be entitled to, at its sole discretion, extend the Long Stop Date to the Extended Long Stop Date (being 25 March 2026) by giving notice in writing to the Seller and paying to the Seller the Further Deposit in an amount of HK$164,160,173.33 no later than the Long Stop Date. Save as set out above, no other material amendments have been made to the Share Purchase Agreement.
On 25 November 2025, the Offeror has given notice to the Seller and paid the Seller the Further Deposit (being HK$164,160,173.33) to extend the Long Stop Date to the Extended Long Stop Date (being 25 March 2026).

Further announcement(s) will be made jointly by the Offeror and the Company in relation to the latest status of the Completion Conditions as and when appropriate.
FURTHER DELAY IN DESPATCH OF THE COMPOSITE DOCUMENT
As disclosed in the Delay Announcement, an application has been made by the Offeror and the Company to the Executive for a waiver from the strict compliance with the requirement under Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code and consent under Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code to extend the latest date for the despatch of the Composite Document to a date that is no later than seven days after Completion or 17 December 2025, whichever is earlier. The Executive had granted its consent for such extension.
For the reasons set out above, it is anticipated that Composite Document cannot be despatched by 17 December 2025. Accordingly, an application has been made by the Offeror and the Company to the Executive pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code to further extend the latest date for the despatch of the Composite Document to a date that is no later than seven days after Completion or 20 April 2026, whichever is earlier. The Executive has indicated that it is minded to grant consent to such further extension.
Further announcement(s) will be made jointly by the Offeror and the Company in relation to the despatch of the Composite Document as and when appropriate.
WARNING
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Offer will only be made if Completion takes place. As Completion is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in the Share Purchase Agreement, it may or may not take place and the Offer may or may not proceed.
Shareholders are reminded to read the Composite Document, including the recommendations of the Independent Board Committee and the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser in respect of the Offer, before deciding whether or not to accept the Offer.
