CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE ‘‘STOCK EXCHANGE’’)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, such general mandates had not been utilized and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to grant the general mandates to the Directors to exercise all powers of the Company (i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with such number of Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the passing of such resolution; (ii) to, subject to the criteria set out in this circular, buy back such number of Shares not exceeding 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of such resolution; and (iii) the general extension mandate, after the Shares Buy-back Mandate is granted, to add the aggregate number of the Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Shares Buy-back Mandate to the Issue Mandate, subject to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution for approving the Issue Mandate.
Based on 800,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are bought back or issued or cancelled prior to the AGM, subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions for approving the Issue Mandate and the Shares Buy-back Mandate, the Directors will be authorised to allot, issue and deal with up to a limit of 160,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate and buy back 80,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Shares Buy-back Mandate, being 20% and 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the resolutions in relation thereto, respectively.
An explanatory statement, required by the GEM Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Shares Buy-back Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant proposed ordinary resolution for the grant of the Shares Buy-back Mandate at the AGM.
The Issue Mandate, the Shares Buy-back Mandate and the general extension mandate, if granted at the AGM, will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Articles to be held; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

Pursuant to the Article 108 and Article 112 of the Articles, Mr. Ma Lie, Mr. Yeung Ho Ting Dennis, Mr. Tam Chun Yu, Mr. Chen Yue, Mr. Cui Hai Bin, Mr. Ji Gui Bao and Ms. Jiang Yu E will retire from office as Directors at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re- election at the AGM.
The Board has assessed and reviewed the annual confirmation of independence based on the criteria set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules and affirmed that Mr. Chen Yue, Mr. Cui Hai Bin, Mr. Ji Gui Bao and Ms. Jiang Yu E are independent. The nomination committee of the Company has assessed and is satisfied of the independence of them.

In view of the aforesaid factors and the experience and knowledge of the relevant individual, the Board would recommend Mr. Ma Lie, Mr. Yeung Ho Ting Dennis, Mr. Tam Chun Yu, Mr. Chen Yue, Mr. Cui Hai Bin, Mr. Ji Gui Bao and Ms. Jiang Yu E for re- election at the AGM.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND THE ARTICLES
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 25 August 2022.

of special resolution at the AGM. Details of the Proposed Amendments are set out in Appendix III to this circular. The legal advisers to the Company as to Hong Kong laws and Cayman Islands laws have respectively confirmed that the Proposed Amendments comply with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules and do not violate the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The notice convening the AGM at which resolutions will be proposed, inter alia, the Issue Mandate and the Shares Buy-back Mandate; the re-election of Directors, the re-appointment of auditor of the Company and adoption of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are set out on pages 34 to 39 of this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information for your consideration of the Shares Buy-back Mandate.
1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR BUY-BACK OF SHARES
The GEM Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The GEM Listing Rules provide that all proposed buy-back of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be bought back must be fully paid up.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 800,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution granting the Shares Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back or cancelled during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM. The Shares Buy-back Mandate, if granted at the AGM, will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Articles to be held; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company. The Shares bought back by the Company shall, subject to applicable law, be automatically cancelled upon such buy-back.
3. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK
The Directors have no present intention to buy back any Shares but consider that the ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such buy-back may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
4. FUNDING AND EFFECT OF BUY-BACK
The Company is empowered by its memorandum of association and the Articles to buy back its Shares. Buy-back made pursuant to the Shares Buy-back Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules, and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The
– 9 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
laws of the Cayman Islands provide that payment for a share buy-back may only be made out of profits, share premium account or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose or subject to the Companies Act, out of capital of the Company. The amount of premium payable on buy-back of Shares may only be paid out of either or both of the profits or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or subject to the Companies Act, out of capital of the Company.
In addition, under the laws of the Cayman Islands, payment out of capital by a company for the purchase by a company of its own shares is unlawful unless immediately following the date on which the payment is proposed to be made, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the shares so bought back would be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital would not be reduced.
Under the GEM Listing Rules, a listed company may not buy back its own shares listed on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange as amended from time to time.
The Directors consider that, if the Shares Buy-back Mandate was to be exercised in full, there might be a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 May 2022, being the date of its latest published audited financial statements. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Shares Buy-Back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to Shares Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
6. TAKEOVER CODE CONSEQUENCE
A buy-back of Shares by the Company may result in an increase in the proportionate interest of a substantial Shareholder in the voting rights of the Company and 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 Rules 26 of the Takeovers Code.
To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company and as recorded in the register required to be kept by the Company under section 336 of the SFO, as at the Latest Practicable Date, ST Ma Ltd, a controlling Shareholder which is wholly owned by Mr. Ma Lie held a beneficial
– 10 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
interest in 440,000,000 Shares, representing 55% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Ma Lie is deemed, or taken to be interested in the Shares held by ST Ma Ltd in the Company.
In the event that the Shares Buy-back Mandate was exercised in full, the percentage shareholding of ST Ma Ltd in the Company would be increased to approximately 61.11% of the total number of Shares in issue and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors will not exercise the Shares Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under 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. SHARE PURCHASED BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
8. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSON
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates, have any present intention, in the event that the proposal on the Shares Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.
No core connected person of the Company (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has he/she/it undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Shares Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
