Resolutions of the Company were passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 3, 2025, pursuant to which a general mandate was granted to the Directors to issue Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury shares). Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury shares) if and when appropriate, an ordinary resolution no. 4(A) will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury shares out of treasury) up to a maximum of 20% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of the passing of such ordinary resolution.

In addition, it is further proposed, by way of a separate ordinary resolution, that the General Mandate to Issue Shares be extended so that the Directors be given a general mandate to issue further number of Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury shares out of treasury) equal to the total number of Shares bought back under the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares.
The General Mandate to Issue Shares, if granted, will continue in force until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held under the Articles of Association or the laws applicable to the Company; and (iii) the revocation or variation of such authority by an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES
The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution in relation to the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares to be proposed at the AGM.
- SHARE BUY-BACK PROPOSAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) comprised 721,806,998 Shares. It is proposed that up to a maximum of 10% of the Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution to approve the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares may be bought back by the Directors. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares to buy back, during the period in which the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares remains in force, up to a maximum of 72,180,699 Shares.
- REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back Shares in the market. When exercising the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares, the Directors may, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time of the buy-backs, resolve to cancel the Shares bought back following settlement of any such buy-back or hold them as treasury shares. Shares bought back for cancellation 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 earnings per Share. On the other hand, Shares bought back and held by the Company as treasury shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association, and the laws of the Cayman Islands. Share buy-backs will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
For any treasury shares deposited with Central Clearing and Settlement System ("CCASS") pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings of the Company for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, 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, or take any other measures to ensure that it will 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.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON GENERAL MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES
3. FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS
In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
The Directors propose that such buy-backs of Shares be appropriately financed by the Company's distributable profits (if any in the future) and/or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of such buy-backs. There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025 and taking into account the financial position of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, in the event that the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
4. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to buy back any Shares pursuant to the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates have a present intention, in the event that the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.
No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company of a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Company is authorised to make buy-backs of its Shares.
The Company has confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed Share buy-back has any unusual features.
5. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of a Share buy-back, any such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (depending on the level of increase of Shareholders' interests) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON GENERAL
MANDATE TO BUY-BACK SHARES
To the best knowledge of the Company, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any buy-back of Shares made pursuant to the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares. Nevertheless, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the General Mandate to Buy-back Shares and will not effect any buy-back of Shares to such an extent which would, in the circumstances, trigger an obligation to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.
6. SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY
There was no buy-back by the Company of the Shares during the 6 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
7. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Year | Month | Highest Price per Share
HK$ | Lowest Price per Share
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2025 | April | 2.55 | 1.45 |
| | May | 2.16 | 1.65 |
| | June | 2.28 | 1.65 |
| | July | 2.26 | 1.65 |
| | August | 2.54 | 1.85 |
| | September | 2.30 | 1.84 |
| | October | 2.34 | 1.77 |
| | November | 1.90 | 1.59 |
| | December | 1.74 | 1.38 |
| 2026 | January | 1.70 | 1.39 |
| | February | 1.61 | 1.41 |
| | March | 1.56 | 1.28 |
| | April (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) | 1.54 | 1.31 |
