REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE CAPITAL INJECTION

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of visual display solution services for concerts and events primarily in Hong Kong, Macau, the PRC and Taiwan. During the year ended 31 May 2021 and the nine months ended 28 February 2022, the Group mainly derived its revenue from the provision of visual display solutions for pop concerts and other live events in Hong Kong. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic which severely impacted the shows and events business, the Group’s revenue

– 6 –

could not cover its high cost of services and recorded gross loss during both periods. In this regard, the Group has been proactively seeking potential business opportunities to broaden its income source.

The e-commerce market in the PRC has continued to grow over the past few years. According to the E-commerce in China Report 2020 (中國電子商務報告2020) issued by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, the national online retail sales increased from approximately RMB5.2 trillion in 2016 to approximately RMB11.8 trillion in 2020, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 22.7%. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 and the accompanying lock-down measures, businesses have accelerated their digitalisation and offline to online transformation as customers increasingly shifted their purchase from offline to online shopping, and thereby spurred further growth in retail e-commerce market. According to eMarketer (https:// www.emarketer.com/content/china-ecommerce-forecast-2021), the PRC’s retail e- commerce market is expected to continue its growth and reach approximately US$3.8 trillion (equivalent to approximately RMB24.6 trillion) in 2025. eMarketer, established in 1996, is a subscription-based market research company that provides insights and trends related to digital marketing, media and commerce.

In light of the rapid development of the e-commerce market in the PRC, the Directors believe that the demand for technical consulting services and solutions for e-commerce business platforms would also increase substantially. As such, the Directors believe that the Capital Injection will enable the Group to grasp the growth momentum in the PRC’s retail e-commerce market, expand the business scope and broaden the income source of the Group, which are beneficial to the long-term development of the Group.

Having considered the above factors, the Board considers that the terms of the Capital Injection Agreement are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Capital Injection is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Capital Injection constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that Completion is subject to the fulfillment or waiver (as the case may be) of a number of conditions precedent. Accordingly, the Capital Injection may or may not materialise. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
