TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND
AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING
MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES AND
ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED AND
RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES AND
NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information regarding resolutions to be proposed at the AGM relating to the granting to the Directors of the Issuance Mandate and Repurchase Mandate, extension of Issue Mandate, re-election of retiring Directors, proposed amendments to the existing Memorandum and Articles and adoption of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles and notice to convene the AGM to approve, inter alia, the said resolutions.
2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
The Board currently has nine Directors, comprising six executive Directors, namely Mr. Yeung Chi Hang, Mr. Leung Kwong Choi, Mr. Wong Po Keung, Mr. Chung Siu Wah, Mr. Chik To Pan and Mr. Liu Yafei and three independent non-executive Directors ("INED(s)"), namely Mr. Heung Chee Hang, Eric, Mr. Lee Chi Ho and Ms. Lai Pik Chi, Peggy who have served as an independent non-executive Director for approximately 11 years, 2 years and 1 year respectively.
Pursuant to Article 99 of the Articles, the Board shall have power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board. Any Director so appointed shall hold office only until the first annual general meeting of the after his appointment and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting.
Pursuant to Article 116 of the Articles, at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term and those holding the office of Chairman or Managing Director) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. The Directors to retire in every year shall be those who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment but as between persons who became Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree between themselves) be determined by lot.
Pursuant to the Article 116, Mr. Leung Kwong Choi ("Mr. Leung"), Mr. Chik To Pan ("Mr. Chik") and Mr. Heung Chee Hang, Eric ("Mr. Heung"), being the existing Directors longest in office since their last re-election, will retire by rotation at the AGM. Mr. Leung, Mr. Chik, and Mr. Heung will offer themselves for re-election. No director is required to retire at the AGM pursuant to Article 99 of the Articles.
Mr. Heung was appointed and has served as an INED for more than nine years since January 2015. Pursuant to code provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code set out in part 2 of Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules, if an INED has served more than nine years, his further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. The Company should also state the reason why the Board and the nomination Committee believe the Director is still independent and should be re-elected, including the factors considered, the process and discussion of the Board and the nomination Committee in arriving at such determination.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Mr. Heung has given his annual written confirmation of independence to the Company according to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. In evaluating the independence of the INEDs, in addition to the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, the nomination committee has considered all relevant factors, instead of only evaluating the length of service of the relevant individuals. The nomination Committee has made reference to the nomination policy and the board diversity policy of the Company, and given due regard to whether his independence and ability may contribute to the Board based on the skills, knowledge and experience required by the Board, as well as the time such INED devoted to the Board. In this regard, the nomination committee considered that Mr. Heung, as an INED, possesses in-depth knowledge of the Group's operations and business, as well as extensive experience and knowledge in the legal profession industry that contributes invaluable expertise to the Board, which is beneficial to the Board with diversity, continuity and stability. During Mr. Heung's tenure, he actively participated in the meetings of the Board and Board committees to give professional, objective and independent opinion and insight. He continues demonstrating a firm commitment to his role and is able to devote sufficient time for the Board and the Board committees that he is currently serving. Mr. Heung has not been involved in the day-to-day management duties of the Group, and does not have any relationship with any other Directors, senior management, substantial shareholders or controlling shareholders of the Company which could give rise to a conflict of interest or otherwise affect the exercise of his independent judgement.
The nomination committee has reviewed Mr. Heung's long service to the Board, and proposed his re-election at the AGM. Despite the fact that Mr. Heung has served as an INED for more than nine years, the nomination committee still considered him to be independent, and is capable of bringing new perspectives, objective insights and independent judgement to the Board and the Board committees that he is currently serving. Having considered the results of evaluation and advice of the Nomination committee, the Board is of the view that the long service of Mr. Heung will not affect the exercise of his independent judgement, and that he is still independent. Accordingly, the Board adopted the recommendation of the nomination committee and considered that the re-election of Mr. Heung as an INED at the AGM would contribute to the stability and diversity of the Board.
In addition, the nomination committee had also considered and nominated the above retiring Directors to the Board for it to propose to the Shareholders for re-election as Directors at the AGM. Mr. Heung being member of the nomination committee, abstained from voting when his own nominations was being considered. After considering the recommendation of the nomination committee, the Board has also proposed Mr. Leung, Mr. Chik, and Mr. Heung to stand for re-election as Directors. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the above retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective proposals of their recommendations for re-election as Directors by the Shareholders at the AGM.
Biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
3. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES
At the last annual general meeting held on 3 December 2024, an ordinary resolution was passed for the granting of general mandates to the Directors, to allot, issue or otherwise deal with shares of the Company of HK$0.10 each not exceeding 20% of the number of the issued Shares as at that date (i.e. 97,753,829 Shares of HK$0.10 each) and to repurchase Shares of HK$0.10 each not exceeding 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at that date (i.e. 48,876,914 Shares of HK$0.10 each).
The Issuance Mandate and Repurchase Mandate will lapse upon the conclusion of the AGM. The Directors consider that the Issuance Mandate and Repurchase Mandate increase the flexibility in the Company's affairs and are in the interests of the Shareholders, and should continue to be adopted by the Company.
It will therefore be proposed at the forthcoming AGM to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company:
(i) to allot, issue and deal with new Shares and to make or grant offers, agreements and options, including warrants to subscribe for Shares and other rights of subscription for or conversion into Shares, of not exceeding 20% of the number of issued Shares of the Company (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of such resolution (the "Issuance Mandate"); and
(ii) to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of not exceeding 10% of the number of issued Shares of the Company (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of such resolution (the "Repurchase Mandate").
Assuming that there is no further issuance and allotment of and dealing in new Shares from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of AGM, a maximum of 97,753,829 new Shares, representing 20% of the number of issued Shares of the Company (excluding Treasury Shares), will be allotted, issued and dealt with under the Issuance Mandate.
A resolution authorising the extension of the Issuance Mandate to include the aggregate nominal number of Shares repurchased (if any) under the Repurchase Mandate will be proposed as ordinary resolution no. 6 set out in the AGM Notice.
An explanatory statement containing the particulars required by the Listing Rules to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AS TO REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix includes an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be presented to the Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors.
1. LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases 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 repurchased must be fully paid up.
2. FUNDING AND IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
Any repurchase will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum, the Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2025 (being the date to which the latest audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases 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 repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AS TO REPURCHASE MANDATE
4. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 488,769,147 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions to approve the general mandates to repurchase Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase a maximum of 48,876,914 Shares.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any Shares, nor did it hold any Treasury Share. If the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the Company will cancel the repurchased Shares following settlement of such repurchase and will not hold the same as Treasury Shares.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum and the Articles, the applicable laws of Hong Kong, the Companies Act and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
The Directors confirmed that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AS TO REPURCHASE MANDATE
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
A repurchase of Shares by the Company may result in an increase in the proportionate interests of Substantial Shareholder in the voting rights of the Company, which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders are taken to have 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:
| Name of shareholders | No. of issued Shares Interested | Percentage of shareholding in the Company
As at the Latest Practicable Date | After exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Mr. Yeung Chi Hang | 102,247,200 | 20.92% | 23.24% |
| Ocean Line Holdings Limited | 59,900,000 | 12.26% | 13.62% |
| Ms. Cheung Wai Fung | 62,802,400 | 12.85% | 14.28% |
| Mr. Kwai Sze Hoi | 62,802,400 | 12.85% | 14.28% |
On the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the interests of the above Shareholders would be increased to such percentages of the issued share capital of the Company as set out in the fourth column of the above table and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the number of Shares held by the public would not fall below 25%.
7. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is granted, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person of the Company 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 sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.
8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months ended on the Latest Practicable Date.
APPENDIX II
