CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase issued Shares.

The General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will lapse at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable law of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in the general meeting.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.
- GEM LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the GEM Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
- SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 800,000,000 Shares in issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities to subscribe for the Shares, and the Company did not hold any Treasury Shares.
Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no new Shares are issued and no Shares are repurchased for the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) as at the Latest Practicable Date.
- REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In making repurchases, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Articles, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the GEM Listing Rules. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium before the Shares are repurchased. In accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Shares so repurchased would be treated as cancelled but the aggregate amount of authorised share capital would not be reduced.
5. MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT IN THE EVENT OF REPURCHASE IN FULL
Taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period, it might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company as compared with that as at 31 March 2025, being the date on which its latest published audited consolidated financial statements were made up. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest market prices at which the Shares had been traded on GEM during each of the previous 12 months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Month | Highest
HK$ | Lowest
HK$ |

| May | 0.049 | 0.040 |
| June (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.047 | 0.040 |
7. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association.
8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
No connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the grant of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
9. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase securities pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such 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 Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register of interests kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, the following persons were directly or indirectly interested in 5% or more of the issued Shares:
| Name | Capacity/ Nature of interest | Number of Shares held (L) (Note 5) | Approximate percentage of existing shareholding (Note 1) | Approximate percentage of shareholding if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamondfield (Notes 2, 3) | Beneficial owner; interest held jointly with another person | 574,170,000 (Note 2) | 71.8% | 79.7% |
| Mr. Ho (Notes 2, 3) | Interest in a controlled corporation; beneficial owner; interest held jointly with another person | 574,170,000 (Note 2) | 71.8% | 79.7% |
| Sharp Talent (Notes 2, 4) | Beneficial owner; interest held jointly with another person | 574,170,000 (Note 3) | 71.8% | 79.7% |
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
| Name | Capacity/ Nature of interest | Number of Shares held (L) (Note 5) | Approximate percentage of existing shareholding (Note 1) | Approximate percentage of shareholding if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mr. Leung (Notes 2, 4) | Interest in a controlled corporation; interest held jointly with another person | 574,170,000 (Note 3) | 71.8% | 79.7% |
Notes:
(1) The percentage of shareholding was calculated based on the total issued Shares of 800,000,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
(2) On 11 November 2016, our ultimate Controlling Shareholders, namely Mr. Leung and Mr. Ho, entered into the Concert Parties Confirmatory Deed to acknowledge and confirm, amongst other things, that they are parties acting in concert in respect of each of the members of our Company. As such, pursuant to the parties acting in concert arrangement, each of our Controlling Shareholders, i.e. Diamondfield (being wholly owned by Mr. Ho), Mr. Ho, Sharp Talent (being wholly owned by Mr. Leung) and Mr. Leung, is deemed to be interested in approximately 71.8% of the issued share capital of the Company.
(3) Shares in which Mr. Ho is interested consist of (i) 199,590,000 Shares held by Diamondfield, a company wholly owned by Mr. Ho, in which Mr. Ho is deemed to be interested under the SFO; (ii) 31,410,000 Shares held as beneficial owner; and (iii) 343,170,000 Shares in which Mr. Ho is deemed to be interested as a result of being a party acting-in-concert with Mr. Leung.
(4) Shares in which Mr. Leung is interested consist of (i) 343,170,000 Shares held by Sharp Talent, a company wholly owned by Mr. Leung, in which Mr. Leung is deemed to be interested under the SFO; and (ii) 231,000,000 Shares in which Mr. Leung is deemed to be interested as a result of being a party acting-in-concert with Mr. Ho.
(5) The letter “L” denotes the person’s long position in the Shares.
On the basis of 800,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming there is no further issue or repurchases of Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Annual General Meeting, if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full, the shareholding in the Company of Diamondfield, Mr. Ho, Sharp Talent, Mr. Leung together with their associates would be increased from approximately 71.8% to approximately 79.7% of the issued share capital of the Company. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors confirm that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent as may result in a public shareholding falling below the prescribed minimum percentage.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
10. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company did not repurchase any Shares during the 6 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
