CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized 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.

In addition, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
VOTING BY POLL
According to Rule 2.26 of the GEM Listing Rules, any shareholder that has a material interest in the transaction or arrangement shall abstain from voting on the resolution(s) approving the transaction or arrangement at the general meeting. As at 17 July 2020 (being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this supplemental circular for ascertaining certain information referred to in this supplemental circular, the ‘‘Latest Practicable Date’’), 1,200,000,000 Shares were in issue, among which, Mr. Zhang was beneficially interested in 15,696,000 Shares, representing approximately 1.31% of the total number of issued Shares and Mr. Wu, was beneficially interested in 48,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 4.00% of the total number of issued Shares.
Pursuant to Rule 2.27 of the GEM Listing Rules, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu are deemed to have a material interest in the transactions under the Management Services Agreement for being a close associate to the parties to the said agreement. Therefore, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution to approve the transaction contemplated under the Management Services Agreement and the proposed respective annual caps at the EGM.
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there was (i) no voting trust or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (other than an outright sale) entered into by or binding upon any Shareholder; and (ii) no obligation or entitlement of any Shareholder as at the Latest Practicable Date whereby such Shareholder has or may have temporarily or permanently passed control over the exercise of the voting right in respect of his/her/its Shares to a third party, either generally or on a case-by-case basis. Accordingly, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there existed no discrepancy between any Shareholder’s beneficial shareholding interest in the Company and the number of Shares in respect of which such Shareholder will control or will be entitled to exercise control over the voting right at the EGM in respect of the resolution approving the Management Service Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Save as disclosed, no other person who is a Shareholder is required to abstain from voting for the relevant resolution at the EGM due to their interests in the Management Service Agreement.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This supplemental circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Group. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this supplementary circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this supplementary circular misleading.
