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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Rights Issue, the Placing Agreement and the possible adjustments to the Share Options under the Share Option Schemes; (ii) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Rights Issue and the Placing Agreement; (iii) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Rights Issue and the Placing Agreement; (iv) other information required under the GEM Listing Rules; and (v) a notice convening the EGM.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

On 21 April 2026, the Board resolved to propose the Rights Issue, details of which are summarised below:

Issue statistics

Basis of the Rights Issue : One (1) Rights Share for every two (2) existing Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date

Subscription Price : HK$0.18 per Rights Share

Number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date : 114,739,700 Shares

Maximum of Rights Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue (assuming the Rights Issue is fully subscribed) : 57,369,850 Rights Shares (assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date)

Maximum total number of issued Shares as enlarged by the Rights Issue (assuming the Rights Issue is fully subscribed) : Up to 172,109,550 Shares (assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date and that no new Shares (other than the Rights Shares) will be allotted and issued on or before completion of the Rights Issue)

Maximum amount to be raised (assuming the Rights Issue is fully subscribed) : before expenses Up to approximately HK$10.33 million (assuming no changes in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date)

— 11 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 6,030,771 outstanding Share Options granted by the Company. Such outstanding Share Options are exercisable into 6,030,771 Shares. Save for the foregoing, the Company has no other outstanding debt securities, derivatives, options, warrants, conversion securities or other similar securities which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares. The Company has no intention to issue or grant any Shares, convertible securities, warrants and/or options on or before the Record Date.

Assuming no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date and that no new Shares (other than the Rights Shares) will be allotted and issued on or before completion of the Rights Issue, the 57,369,850 Rights Shares proposed to be provisionally allotted and issued pursuant to the Rights Issue represents approximately 50% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and will represent approximately 33.33% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Rights Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the unexercised share options granted by the Company pursuant to the Share Option Schemes, the Company does not have any outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue or similar rights which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into the Shares.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.18 per Rights Share, payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue or when a renounce of any provisional allotment of the Rights Shares or a transferee of the nil-paid Rights Shares subscribes for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

(i) a discount of approximately 24.4% to the closing price of HK$0.238 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

(ii) a discount of 25.6% to the average closing price of HK$0.242 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

(iii) a discount of approximately 26.0% to the average closing price of HK$0.243 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

(iv) a discount of approximately 8.1% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.219 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.238 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

— 12 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(v) a discount of approximately 88.6% to the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$1.585 per Share based on the latest published audited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$181.8 million as at 31 December 2025 as set out in the annual results announcement of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the total number of issued Shares of 114,739,700 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date;

(vi) a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) represented by a discount of approximately 8.52% of the theoretical diluted price (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) of approximately HK$0.219 per Share to the benchmarked price of HK$0.2418 per Share (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of the closing price of HK$0.238 per Share on the Last Trading Day and the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day of HK$0.242 per Share); and

(vii) a cumulative theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) in aggregate with the Previous Rights Issue represented by a discount of approximately 18.92%, represented by the cumulative theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$2.34 per Share to the benchmarked price of approximately HK$2.89 per Share (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Previous Rights Issue.

The cumulative theoretical diluted price, the benchmarked price and cumulative theoretical dilution effect (all defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) for the Rights Issue are approximately HK$2.34 per Share, HK$2.89 per Share and 18.92%, respectively. The Rights Issue will not result in a cumulative theoretical dilution effect of 25% or more on its own. As such, the cumulative theoretical dilution impact of the Rights Issue is in compliance with Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Placing Shares, forming part of the Rights Issue, will be allotted and issued subject to the listing approval of the Stock Exchange.

The Subscription Price was determined with reference to (i) the prevailing market price and recent trading performance of the Shares which includes the daily closing price and daily trading volume of the Shares during the six months prior to the Last Trading Day, where the closing price of the Shares demonstrated an overall downward trend from HK$0.485 per Share on 21 October 2025 to HK$0.238 per Share on the Last Trading Day with an average daily trading volume amounting to approximately 10.6% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Last Trading Day, which indicated a lack of liquidity and demand for the Shares; (ii) the latest business performance and financial position of the Group. For the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025, the Company recorded total comprehensive expense for the year of approximately HK$33.10 million and HK$111.4 million, respectively; (iii) the Directors' view that it is reasonable to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the closing price per Share on the Last Trading Day and the consolidated net asset value per Share attributable to the Shareholders as described above in order to enhance the attractiveness of the Rights Issue and encourage the Qualifying Shareholders and investors to participate, given the unfavourable price trend and lack of liquidity of the Shares; (iv) the relatively large fundraising size when compared with the market

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

capitalisation of the Company as at the Last Trading Day; and (v) amount of funds the Company intends to raise for the purposes as discussed in the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Rights Issue and the use of proceeds” in this circular.

After thoroughly evaluating current market conditions and sentiment, relatively stagnant trading volume of the Shares and shareholder sentiment, the Board has determined that a relatively substantial discount to the current market price of the Shares, net asset value per Share as well as the benchmark price (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) of the Shares would be necessary to provide adequate incentive to encourage shareholder and potential institutional subscribers participation in the Rights Issue, while ensuring the fundraising objectives can be met. Despite the relatively substantial theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules), the Directors consider such effect is inevitable in order to achieve fundraising objectives and incentivise the Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue considering the lack of liquidity and relatively stagnant trading volume of the Shares as demonstrated above. Accordingly, despite the Subscription Price is priced at a relatively substantial discount to the current market price of the Shares, net asset value per Share and the benchmark price of the Shares, the Directors consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Further, the basis of the Rights Issue was determined and derived by the amount of funds the Company intends to raise for the Rights Issues, which is sufficient to meet the funding requirements as set out in the section headed “REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS” below in this circular.

The Directors consider that the Subscription Price at a discount to the current market price of the Shares would enhance the attractiveness of the Rights Issue, and in turn encourage the Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue, and accordingly allow them to maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth and development of the Group.

As all Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the same proportion to his/her/its shareholding in the Company held on the Record Date, the Board is of the view that the discount of the Subscription Price would encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to take up their entitlements to maintain their shareholdings in the Company, thereby minimising possible dilution impact. Based on the foregoing, the Board considers that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The estimated net price per Rights Share after deducting the related expenses of the Rights Issue is approximately HK$0.172 (whether (i) assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date; or (ii) assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue, other than as a result of the issue of Shares upon full exercise of the Outstanding Share Options, on or before the Record Date).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Non-underwritten basis

The Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of provisionally allotted Rights Shares. There is no minimum subscription level or minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue. In the event that the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares that are not subscribed by the Qualifying Shareholders or renouncees or transferees of the Nil-paid Rights under the PALs (i.e. the Unsubscribed Rights Shares) together with the NQS Unsold Rights Shares (collectively, the Placing Shares) will be placed to independent Places on a best efforts basis through the Placing. Any Placing Shares which are not placed will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

The Company conducted an evaluation of potential underwriting arrangements for the Rights Issue, approaching a number of securities firms to assess their interest in acting as underwriter. However, only the Placing Agent expressed interest and willingness to participate as a placing agent, with no other underwriters prepared to commit to a full underwriting agreement.

Given the lack of underwriting interest, the Board determined that proceeding on a non-underwritten basis, combined with the Placing Agreement, represents the most viable and efficient approach to meet the Company's funding objectives.

Furthermore, as detailed in the section headed "Placing Agreement" below, the Unsubscribed Rights Shares, the NQS Unsold Rights Shares and a compensatory mechanism for No Action Shareholders and the Excluded Shareholders. After careful deliberation, the Board concluded that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the non-underwritten structure and the Placing, are fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

As the Rights Issue is not underwritten and has not set a minimum subscription amount, a Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares under the Takeovers Code or cause the public float of the Company to decrease to below 25%. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder for his/her/its assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which (a) does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance to the note to Rule 10.26(2) of the GEM Listing Rules; and (b) does not cause the Company's public float to decrease to below 25%. Any subscription monies not utilized due to the scaled-down application of entitled Rights Shares will be refunded to the affected applicants.

There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue.

Undertaking

The Company has not received any information or irrevocable undertaking from any Shareholders of their intention to take up the Rights Shares to be provisionally allotted to them under the Rights Issue as at the date of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Non-Qualifying Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Based on the latest available register of members of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, there was one Shareholder with registered address situated in the PRC, who held 53 Shares in aggregate, representing approximately 0% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, and one Shareholder with registered address situated in the British Virgin Islands, who held 11,500,000 Shares, representing approximately 10.02% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Company has complied with Rule 17.41(1) of the GEM Listing Rules and made enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the offer of the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders. The Company has obtained advice from legal advisers in the PRC and the British Virgin Islands, and has been advised that there are no restrictions under securities law or other similar laws in the PRC and the British Virgin Islands or requirement of any regulatory body or stock exchange in the PRC and the British Virgin Islands which would prevent the Company from extending the Rights Issue to the Overseas Shareholders in the PRC and the British Virgin Islands. Based upon such advice, the Overseas Shareholders having registered address in the PRC and the British Virgin Islands will not be excluded from the Rights Issue and shall therefore be the Qualifying Shareholders. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be extended to such Overseas Shareholders having registered address in the PRC and the British Virgin Islands.

The Company will not offer the Rights Shares to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. Accordingly, no provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be made to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will, subject to the advice of the Company's legal advisers in the relevant jurisdiction(s) where the Non-Qualifying Shareholders are located and to the extent reasonably practicable, send copies of the Prospectus with the Overseas Letter to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, for their information only but the Company will not send any PAL to them.

Any Rights Shares that are not subscribed by the Qualifying Shareholders or renouncees or transferees of the Nil-paid Rights under the PALs together with the NQS Unsold Rights Shares (collectively, the Placing Shares) will, on a best efforts basis, be placed by the Placing Agent to independent Places, who and whose ultimate beneficial owner(s) shall be Independent Third Party(ies), at the Placing Price.

The Company appointed the Placing Agent to place the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and NQS Unsold Rights Shares to Place(s) on a best efforts basis, and the aggregate of any premiums paid by the Placess(s) after deducting (i) the aggregate amount of the Subscription Price of the Placing Shares placed by the Placing Agent under this Agreement; and (ii) the aggregate amount of all reasonable expenses or fees incurred by the Company and the Placing Agent (the "Net Gain") will be paid to the No Action Shareholders.

It is proposed that if all or any of the Placing Shares are successfully placed, any Net Gain will be distributed to the relevant No Action Shareholders on a pro-rata basis in Hong Kong dollars, provided that any individual amount of less than HK$100 to which a No Action Shareholder would otherwise be entitled shall be retained by the Company for its own benefit.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Overseas Shareholders and beneficial owners of the Shares who are residing outside Hong Kong should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue pursuant to section 140 of the Companies Ordinance and Rule 17.41(1) of the GEM Listing Rules subject to the results of the enquiries made by the Board. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of or application for Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders and beneficial owners of the Shares who are residing outside Hong Kong should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

The Rights Issue does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to acquire, nil-paid Rights Shares or fully-paid Rights Shares or to take up any entitlements to nil-paid Rights Shares or fully-paid Rights Shares in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful. Shareholders and beneficial owners of the Shares (including, without limitation, their respective agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) should inform themselves of and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Fractions of the Rights Shares

The Company will not provisionally allot and issue and will not accept application for any fraction of the Rights Shares and the entitlements of the Qualifying Shareholders will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. All fractions of Rights Shares will be aggregated (rounded down to the nearest whole number). Any Rights Shares created from the aggregation of fractions of the Rights Shares will lapse and will not be made available for subscription.

Share certificates and refund cheques for the Rights Shares

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for all fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted to those who have accepted and applied for and paid for the Rights Shares on or before Friday, 31 July 2026 by ordinary post at their own risk. If the Rights Issue is terminated or for unsuccessful applications for the Rights Issue, refund cheques are expected to be posted on or before Friday, 31 July 2026 by ordinary post to the applicants at their own risk.

Procedures in respect of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares and the Placing

The Company will make arrangements to dispose of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares by offering them as Placing Shares to independent Places through the Placing.

— 19 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Accordingly, on 21 April 2026 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent in relation to the placing of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares (collectively, the "Placing Shares") to independent Places on a best efforts basis. Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Company has conditionally agreed to appoint and the Placing Agent has conditionally agreed to act as the Placing Agent for the Company to procure, on a best efforts basis, Places to subscribe for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price during the Placing Period. The Placing Shares, forming part of the Rights Issue, will be allotted and issued subject to the listing approval of the Stock Exchange. The Placing Agent will, on a best efforts basis, procure subscribers for all (or as many as possible) of those Placing Shares by not later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 23 July 2026. Under the terms of the Placing Agreement, if all the Rights Shares are already fully taken up in the Rights Issue through the PAL(s), the Placing will not proceed. Any Placing Shares which are not placed will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

THE PLACING AGREEMENT

On 21 April 2026 (after trading hours), the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the Placing Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to appoint and the Placing Agent has conditionally agreed to act as the Placing Agent for the Company to procure Places, who and whose ultimate beneficial owner(s) shall be Independent Third Party(ies), to subscribe for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price during the Placing Period on and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Placing Agreement. The Placing Shares, forming part of the Rights Issue, will be allotted and issued subject to the listing approval of the Stock Exchange.

Under the terms of the Placing Agreement, if all the Rights Shares are already fully taken up in the Rights Issue, i.e. all the Rights Shares are fully subscribed by the Qualifying Shareholders or renounce(s) or transferee(s) under the PAL(s), the Placing will not proceed.

— 21 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the conditions precedent set out in the Placing Agreement have not been fulfilled on or before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 24 July 2026, or such later date/time as may be agreed between the Company and the Placing Agent in writing, all rights, obligations and liabilities of the Parties in relation to the Placing shall cease and determine and neither of the Parties shall have any claim against the other in respect of the Placing save for any antecedent breach and/or any rights or obligations which may accrue under the Placing Agreement prior to such termination.

The Placing Agent undertakes to use its best endeavours to assist the Company in procuring that the conditions of the Placing are fulfilled on or before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, 24 July 2026 (or such later date/time as may be agreed between the Company and the Placing Agent in writing), including but not limited to the delivery by the Placing Agent to the Stock Exchange and/or the relevant regulatory authorities of written confirmations of the independence of the Placees and particulars of the Placees.

For the avoidance of doubt, if all the Rights Shares are already fully taken up in the Rights Issue, the Placing will not proceed.

Termination

: Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Placing Agreement, the Placing Agent may terminate the Placing Agreement without any liability to the Company by notice in writing given to the Company at any time prior to the Latest Time for Termination upon the occurrence of any of the following events which, in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent, has or may have a material adverse effect on the business or financial conditions or prospects of the Company or the Group taken as a whole, or would materially prejudice the success of the Placing or the full placement of all of the Placing Shares, or otherwise makes it inappropriate, inadvisable or inexpedient to proceed with the Placing on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Placing Agreement:

— 22 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(a) the occurrence of any event, development or change (whether or not local, national or international, or forming part of a series of events, developments or changes occurring or continuing before, on and/or after the date of the Placing Agreement), including any event or change in relation to or a development of an existing state of affairs of a political, military, industrial, financial, economic, fiscal, regulatory or other nature, resulting in a change in, or which may result in a change in, political, economic, fiscal, financial, regulatory or stock market conditions, which in the Placing Agent’s reasonable opinion would affect the success of the Placing;

(b) the imposition of any moratorium, suspension (for more than 7 trading days) or restriction on trading in securities generally on the Stock Exchange occurring due to exceptional financial circumstances or otherwise, which in the Placing Agent’s reasonable opinion would affect the success of the Placing;

(c) any new law or regulation, or change in existing laws or regulations, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any court or other competent authority in Hong Kong or any other jurisdiction relevant to the Group, which in the Placing Agent’s reasonable opinion may affect the business or financial prospects of the Group and/or the success of the Placing;

(d) any litigation or claim being instigated against any member of the Group or its senior management, which has or may affect the business or financial position of the Group and which in the Placing Agent’s reasonable opinion would affect the success of the Placing;

(e) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company comes to the knowledge of the Placing Agent, or any event occurs or any matter arises on or after the date of the Placing Agreement and prior to the Placing Completion Date which, if it had occurred or arisen before the date of the Placing Agreement, would have rendered any of such representations and warranties untrue or incorrect in a material respect, or there has been a material breach by the Company of any other provision of the Placing Agreement; or

— 23 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(f) any material change (whether or not forming part of a series of changes) in market conditions which in the absolute opinion of the Placing Agent would materially and prejudicially affect the Placing or makes it inadvisable or inexpedient for the Placing to proceed.

Upon the giving of such notice of termination, the Placing Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further effect, and all respective obligations of either party thereunder shall cease and determine. Neither party shall have any claim against the other in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with the Placing Agreement, except for any antecedent breach of any obligation under the Placing Agreement and any liabilities in respect of the Company's warranties and the commissions and expenses provisions.

Application for listing : The Company will apply to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares.

Board lot size of Rights : 2,000 Shares Shares

The terms of the Placing Agreement (including the commission payable) were determined after arm's length negotiation between the Placing Agent and the Company with reference to the size of the Rights Issue and the market conditions. The Board considers the terms of the Placing for the Placing Shares (including the commission payable) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

As explained above, the Placing Shares will be placed by the Placing Agent to independent Places on a best efforts basis. The net proceeds from the Placing will be utilised for the same purposes as described in the section headed "Reasons for and Benefits of the Rights Issue and the Use of Proceeds" in this circular.

Given that the Placing would provide (i) a distribution channel of the Placing Shares for the Company; and (ii) a channel of participation in the Rights Issue for independent investors, so that the Placing would allow the Company to raise the shortfall of funds required where possible after the Rights Issue, the Board considers that the Placing is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

— 24 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Placing Agent shall use its best endeavours and make all reasonable enquiries to ensure that the Placing Shares are placed (i) to such persons or companies whose themselves and their respective ultimate beneficial owners (if applicable) are third parties independent of, and not connected with or acting in concert with, the Company, its connected persons (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) and their respective associates (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules); (ii) such that no Placees, together with parties acting in concert with the respective Placees or any of the connected persons or associates of the respective Placees, shall hold in aggregate 30% or more of the voting rights of the Company immediately upon the completion of the Placing or otherwise trigger any MGO Obligation under the Takeovers Code immediately upon the completion of the Placing; and (iii) such that the Public Float Requirement be complied with by the Company immediately upon the completion of the Placing.

Application for listing of the Rights Shares

The Company will apply to the GEM Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange. No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in or on which listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought on any other stock exchange.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the respective commencement dates of dealings in Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange or such other dates as may be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. Shareholders should seek advice from their licensed securities dealer(s) or other professional adviser(s) for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

The nil-paid Rights Shares shall have the same board lot size as the Shares, i.e. 2,000 Shares per each board lot.

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms, which are registered in the branch register of members of the Company in Hong Kong, will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, the Securities and Future Commission transaction levy, the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council and any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in provision of system integration and related support services, provision of IT infrastructure solutions and maintenance services, rental of properties and securities trading.

As stated in the annual results announcement of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$100.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 as compared to a net loss of approximately HK$38.38 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. Besides, as at 31 December 2025, the net current assets were only approximately HK$2,949,000. Based on the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group had bank and cash balances of approximately HK$11.98 million as at 31 March 2026.

As at 31 March 2026, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$11,980,000. The Group's average monthly operating cash requirement is approximately HK$3,000,000. Based on the current cash position, the Group has sufficient cash resources to sustain its operations for only approximately four months. The Company is therefore unable to service and repay its outstanding loan obligations from its existing cash resources, and the Rights Issue is necessary to raise funds for this purpose.

As it has become critical for the Company to be able to raise funds as soon as possible to meet its repayment obligations, after considering (i) the current financial position of the Group; (ii) the benefits and cost of alternative fundraising means; and (iii) the importance of the fundraising exercise to the Company to satisfy its pressing financial needs, the Directors consider that the Rights Issue will enable the Group to raise the necessary funds in a timely manner to repay outstanding indebtedness of the Group, which is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date and all Rights Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue have been taken up in full, the gross proceeds from the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$10.33 million. The net proceeds from the Rights Issue after deducting the estimated expenses in relation to the Rights Issue are estimated to be up to approximately HK$9.73 million, which are intended to apply the entire net proceeds towards repayment of outstanding indebtedness of the Company. Prior to the full utilisation of the net proceeds of the Rights Issue, all unutilised proceeds will be deposited in licensed banks in Hong Kong.

— 26 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The net price per Rights Share (after deducting the cost and expenses of the Rights Issue) is estimated to be approximately HK$0.17. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue in the following manner:

Intended use Approximate amount Approximate % of net proceeds
Loan from an independent third party to be repaid on or before 1 January 2027. HK$8,796,000 90.40%
Settlement of professional fees and other administrative expenses. HK$934,000 9.60%

The loan to be repaid from the net proceeds of the Rights Issue was drawn down in August 2023 and has a maturity date of 1 January 2027. The lender is Guangzhou Dehuang Property Management Co., Ltd. (廣州市德煌物業管理有限公司). Guangzhou Dehuang Property Management Co., Ltd. (廣州市德煌物業管理有限公司) is wholly owned by Guangzhou Dehuang Investment Co., Ltd. (廣州市德煌投資有限公司), which is in turn owned as to 20.25% by Zhang Rong (張荣), as to 20.25% by Wan Hung Piu (溫洪標), as to 20.25% by Yan Wai Ping (甄衛平), as to 19% by Guangzhou Deyong Technology Investment Co., Ltd. (廣州市德永科技投資有限公司), as to 10.125% by Zhu Xiaowei (朱小蔚), and as to 10.125% by Tang Keung (鄧強). Save for Zhang Rong, all of the above shareholders are independent third parties to the Company.

Zhang Rong holds more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company and is therefore a connected person of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules. However, since Zhang Rong holds only 20.25% of Guangzhou Dehuang Investment Co., Ltd. (廣州市德煌投資有限公司), Guangzhou Dehuang Investment Co., Ltd. (廣州市德煌投資有限公司) does not constitute an associate of Zhang Rong. Accordingly, the lender, Guangzhou Dehuang Property Management Co., Ltd.* (廣州市德煌物業管理有限公司), is not a connected person of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules.

Notwithstanding the above, since part of the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be applied towards the repayment of the loan owed to Guangzhou Dehuang Property Management Co., Ltd. (廣州市德煌物業管理有限公司), in which Zhang Rong holds an indirect interest of 20.25% through his shareholding in Guangzhou Dehuang Investment Co., Ltd. (廣州市德煌投資有限公司), Zhang Rong has a material interest in the relevant resolution to be proposed at the EGM. Accordingly, he and his associates will abstain from voting on such resolution at the EGM.

The professional fees and other administrative expenses of approximately HK$934,000 to be applied from the net proceeds of the Rights Issue comprise outstanding legal fees of approximately HK$800,000 and the remaining balance of approximately HK$134,000 representing outstanding valuation and internal control fees.

The Company further confirms that none of the above professional fees and other administrative expenses will be paid to any connected person (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company. All such fees and expenses are payable to independent third parties only.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board has considered and determined that applying the entire net proceeds towards repayment of outstanding indebtedness is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, as it will reduce the Group's debt burden, lower its finance costs and improve its gearing ratio and overall financial position.

Despite the inherent dilutive nature of the Rights Issue in general if the Qualifying Shareholders do not take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue in full, it is the intention of the Company to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the current market price of the Shares so as to encourage the Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and reduce the possible dilution of approximately 33.3% to the shareholding of the existing Shareholders in case they decide not to take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue. Furthermore, the Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective shareholdings in the Company and participate in the stabilisation and recovery of the Group's financial position through the repayment of its outstanding indebtedness. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that fund raising through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled and Non-Qualifying Shareholders should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted upon completion of the Rights Issue.

The Board considers that the repayment of the Group's outstanding indebtedness through equity fundraising, rather than further debt financing, is prudent as it will reduce the Group's finance costs, alleviate its debt repayment pressure and improve its overall financial position and gearing ratio. The Board has considered other fund-raising alternatives before resolving to the Rights Issue, including but not limited to, debt financing, placing and open offer. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had approached two banks on the feasibility of obtaining bank loans and both banks has reverted that it is difficult for the Company to obtain lans from their banks given that the Company is loss making and has no assets which can be accepted as security. The Board is of the view that debt financing is not desirable as it will result in additional interest burden and higher gearing ratio of the Group, which will have a negative impact on the profitability of the Group in the future. Besides, the Company may not be able to achieve debt financing on favourable terms in a timely manner, the Directors consider that this is the case in view of the Group's loss making position for the latest financial year and the decrease in net current asset as at the latest financial year end as compared with that of the last financial year end, as these are typical financial metrics on which key terms of debt financing would depend. As for placing of new Shares, it is relatively smaller in scale as compared to fund raising through a rights issue. Also, it would inevitably lead to immediate dilution in the shareholding interest of the existing Shareholders without offering them an opportunity to participate in the enlarged capital base of the Company. As for open offer, while it is similar to a rights issue in that Qualifying Shareholders are offered an opportunity to participate, unlike a rights issue, it does not allow free trading of rights entitlements in the open market, which would allow the Shareholders to have more flexibility in dealing with the Shares and the nil-paid rights attaching thereto. The Placing arrangement, which involves the placement of the Placing Shares at the Placing Price (which shall not be less than the Subscription Price), serves to maximise the funds to be raised.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The current Rights Issue is primarily for the repayment of the Company’s outstanding loan which matures on 1 January 2027. The purpose of the current Rights Issue is therefore materially different from that of the Previous Rights Issue, which was conducted primarily to replenish the general working capital of the Group for the payment of salaries, rental and building management fees, and outstanding professional fees and administrative expenses.

The Board has carefully considered the available fundraising alternatives. Regarding debt financing, the Company has previously approached at least two banks, both of which declined to provide financing due to insufficient security or collateral. Regarding underwriting, the Board considers that it would be difficult to procure underwriting on terms that are favourable to the Company and its Shareholders given the Company’s current financial position.

Having regard to the foregoing, and notwithstanding the short interval between the current Rights Issue and the Previous Rights Issue, the Board is of the view that the Rights Issue is the most suitable fundraising option available to the Company and is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Board considers that the Rights Issue would allow all Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the financial recovery and stabilisation of the Company through the repayment of its outstanding indebtedness, and at the same time offer more flexibility to the Qualifying Shareholders to choose whether to maintain, increase or decrease their respective shareholdings in the Company by taking up only their respective rights entitlements, acquiring additional rights entitlements or disposing of their rights entitlements in the open market, subject to availability.

In view of the above, the Board considers that raising funds by way of the Rights Issue is beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Company confirms that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no ongoing discussions with any party in relation to any further fundraising exercise, and no agreement or arrangement in respect of further fundraising had been entered into.

Given the Company’s current financial position, the Board will keep an open mind and will consider further fundraising opportunities if and when appropriate, provided that the terms of such fundraising are favourable to the Company and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

In the event that the Rights Issue is undersubscribed and insufficient proceeds are raised to fully repay the loan, the Company will consider all available options at that time to address the shortfall, which may include further fundraising activities if the terms are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Company will make appropriate disclosure in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules should any definitive fundraising plan be determined.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENT TO THE OUTSTANDING SHARE OPTIONS UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

Adjustments for Rights Issue as follows:

New number of Options = Existing Options x F

$$
\text{New Exercise Price} = \text{Existing Exercise price} \times \frac{1}{F}
$$

Where

$$
F = \frac{\text{CUM}}{\text{TEEP}}
$$

CUM = Closing price as shown in the Daily Quotation Sheet of the Exchange on the last day of trading before going Ex-Entitlement

$$
\text{TEEP (Theoretical Ex Entitlement Price)} = \frac{\text{CUM} + [M \times R]}{1 + M}
$$

M = Entitlement per existing Share

R = Subscription Price

The Rights Issue may lead to adjustments to, among others, the exercise price and/or the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the unexercised share options under the Share Option Schemes. The Company will notify the holders of such unexercised share options and the Shareholders by way of announcement (as and when appropriate) regarding adjustments to be made, if any, pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Schemes and such adjustments will be certified by an independent financial adviser or auditors of the Company (as the case may be). The Company expects that such announcement will be made on or around 7 July 2026, being the same date on which the Company intends to announce the results of the Rights Issue, including the number of Placing Shares subject to Placing. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 6,030,771 unexercised share options granted by the Company pursuant to the Share Option Schemes, all of which are exercisable on or before the Record Date (the "Outstanding Share Options"). The Outstanding Share Options are exercisable into 6,030,771 Shares. Details of the Outstanding Share Options as at the Latest Practicable Date granted under the Share Option Schemes are set out below:

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

Save as disclosed below, the Company has not conducted any fund-raising activities in the past twelve months immediately prior to the date of the circular:

Date of announcement Event Net proceeds raised (approximately) Proposed use of proceeds Actual use of proceeds as at the Latest Practicable Date
6 October 2025 Rights issue on the basis of three rights shares for every eight existing shares held on the record date on a fully underwritten basis HK$32.05 million Approximately
HK$3,600,000 for rental and building management fees;
approximately HK$27,000,000 for salaries; and
approximately HK$1,450,000 for settlement of professional fees and other administrative expenses. (i)approximately HK$1,678,000 for rental and building management fees;
(ii) approximately HK$11,058,000 for salaries; and
(iii) approximately HK$1,450,000 for settlement of professional fees and other administrative expenses, all as intended.
19 November 2025 and 5 December 2025 Placing of 14,000,000 New Shares Under General Mandate HK$3,881,000 (i) the repayment of maturing indebtedness; and
(ii) general working capital of the Group. Used as intended

The purpose of the current Rights Issue is materially different from that of the Previous Rights Issue. Whereas the Previous Rights Issue was conducted primarily for the payment of salaries, rental and building management fees, and outstanding professional fees and administrative expenses, including approximately HK$1,400,000 per month for the payment of salaries and approximately HK$240,000 per month for rental and building management fees, the primary purpose of the current Rights Issue is the repayment of the Company's outstanding loan obligations. The Group expects that the remaining net proceeds of the Previous Rights Issue allocated for the payment of salaries will be fully utilised in the first quarter of 2027, and those allocated for rental and building management fees will be fully utilised in December 2026. Save for approximately HK$934,000 to be applied towards the settlement of professional fees and other administrative expenses, substantially all of the net proceeds of the current Rights Issue will be applied towards loan repayment. Accordingly, the purposes of the two fundraising exercises are distinct in nature.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

When aggregated with the Previous Rights Issue, the number of new Shares to be issued under both the Previous Rights Issue and the Rights Issue represents an increase of more than 50% in the number of issued Shares of the Company. Accordingly, the Rights Issue is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting pursuant to Rule 10.29(1) of the GEM Listing Rules, the Rights Issue must be made conditional on, amongst other things, the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. As the Company does not have a controlling Shareholder (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules), the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution(s) in relation to the Rights Issue at the EGM. Zhang Rong has a material interest in the relevant resolution to be proposed at the EGM. Accordingly, he and his associates will abstain from voting on such resolution at the EGM.

The Rights Issue does not result in a theoretical dilution effect of 25% or more. As such, the theoretical dilution impact of the Rights Issue is in compliance with Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules.

An EGM will be convened for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Rights Issue, the Placing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. The Rights Issue is conditional upon, among other things, the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the EGM. If such resolution(s) are not passed at the EGM, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The EGM will be convened and held at Unit 3308, 33/F., Millennium City 6, 392 Kwun Tong Road, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong on Thursday, 28 May 2026 at 3:30 p.m. for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Rights Issue, the Placing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN THE SHARES AND THE NIL-PAID RIGHTS SHARES

The Rights Issue is subject to, amongst other things, the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the EGM. If the conditions to the Rights Issue are not fulfilled, the Rights Issue will not proceed. Any Shareholders or other persons dealing in the Shares and/or the Rights Shares in nil-paid form up to the date on which all the conditions to which the Rights Issue are fulfilled will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed.

The Shares are expected to be dealt in on an ex-rights basis from Monday, 1 June 2026. Dealings in the Rights Shares in nil-paid form are expected to take place from Monday, 15 June 2026 to Tuesday, 23 June 2026 (both dates inclusive).

Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their provisional entitlements in full and Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, should note that their shareholdings in the Company may be diluted, the extent of which will depend in part on the size of the Rights Issue.

Any Shareholders or other persons contemplating any dealings in the Shares or the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The following is the text of a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Rights Issue, which has been prepared for the purposes of incorporation in this Circular.

百惠金控 PATRONS

Unit 3214,

13 May 2026

To the Independent Board Committee and
the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

(1) PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF ONE (1) RIGHTS SHARE FOR EVERY TWO (2) EXISTING SHARES HELD ON THE RECORD DATE ON A NON-UNDERWRITTEN BASIS; AND
(2) PLACING OF PLACING SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE RIGHTS ISSUE

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Rights Issue, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the "Letter from the Board") contained in the circular dated 13 May 2026 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the "Circular"), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

The Company proposes to raise up to approximately HK$10.33 million before expenses by way of issuing to the Qualifying Shareholders of a maximum of 57,369,850 Rights Shares (assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date) at the Subscription Price of HK$0.18 per Rights Share on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) existing Shares held on the Record Date. The Rights Issue is available only to the Qualifying Shareholders. The Rights Issue is not underwritten and is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders and will not be extended to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue as stipulated under Rule 10.31(1)(a) of the GEM Listing Rules.

Assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date and all Rights Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue have been taken up in full, the net proceeds from the Rights Issue after deducting the estimated expenses are estimated to be up to approximately HK$9.7 million, which are intended to apply (i) approximately HK$8.8 million, 90.4% towards repayment of outstanding indebtedness; and (ii) approximately HK$0.9 million for the general working capital for settlement of professional fees and other administrative expenses.

— IFA-1 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. There is no minimum subscription level or minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue.

The Rights Shares, when allotted, issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu with the Shares then in issue in all respects. Holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid on or after the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

The Company has not received any information, nor any irrevocable undertaking by, any Shareholders as to their intention to take up the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to them under the Rights Issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

According to Rule 10.31(1)(b) of the GEM Listing Rules, the Company will make the Compensatory Arrangements to dispose of the Placing Shares by offering these Shares to independent Places for the benefit of the Shareholders to whom they are offered by way of the Rights Issue. Accordingly, on Tuesday, 21 April 2026 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent in relation to the placing of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the NQS Unsold Rights Shares to the independent Places on a best effort basis.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, the Company has in issue 114,739,700 Shares. The maximum number of Rights Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue is 57,369,850 Rights Shares, representing approximately 50% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. The Previous Rights Issue, which was completed on 6 October 2025, resulted in the allotment and issue of 27,474,463 rights shares, representing approximately 37.50% of the issued share capital of the Company at the time of the Previous Rights Issue.

When aggregated with the Previous Rights Issue, the number of new Shares to be issued under both the Previous Rights Issue and the Rights Issue represents an increase of more than 50% in the number of issued Shares of the Company. Accordingly, the Rights Issue is subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM, and any controlling Shareholder(s) (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) and their respective associates, or where there is no controlling Shareholder, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution(s) in relation to the Rights Issue at the EGM pursuant to Rule 10.29(1) of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Rights Issue does not result in a theoretical dilution effect of 25% or more. As such, the theoretical dilution impact of the Rights Issue complies with Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

FY2025 vs FY2024

As illustrated above, non-current assets of the Group decreased from HK$267.1 million as at 31 December 2024 to approximately HK$200.1 million as at 31 December 2025, which was primarily due to the decrease in investment properties from approximately HK$216.0 million as at 31 December 2024 to approximately HK$170.0 million as at 31 December 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 21.3%. The Group’s net assets decreased from approximately HK$245.0 million as at 31 December 2024 to approximately HK$170.5 million as at 31 December 2025. As at 31 December 2025, cash and bank balances held by the Group increased from approximately HK$5.4 million as of 31 December 2024 to approximately HK$14.9 million, which was attributable to the capital replenished from the Previous Rights Issue.

The Group’s total liabilities remains relatively stable of approximately HK$82.9 million as at 31 December 2024 and approximately HK$81.8 million as at 31 December 2025, which was mainly comprised of bank and other loans of approximately HK$55.9 million as at 31 December 2024 and approximately HK$55.8 million as at 31 December 2025. The gearing ratio (calculated as total borrowings over total equity) of the Group increased from approximately 0.25 as at 31 December 2024 to approximately 0.36 as at 31 December 2025.

  1. Our view on the reasons for the Rights Issue and the intended use of proceeds

2.1 The funding needs

As stated in the “Letter from the Board” the Circular and the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$100.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 as compared to a net loss of approximately HK$38.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. Besides, as at 31 December 2025, the net current assets were only approximately HK$3.0 million. Based on the unaudited management accounts of the Group for the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group had bank and cash balances of approximately HK$11.98 million as at 31 March 2026. In light of the cash position and loss-making performance of the Group, the Company intends to raise funds through the Rights Issue to improve the financial condition of the Group and also reducing its gearing and interest burden. The gearing ratio (calculated as total borrowings over total equity) of the Group is expected to decreased from approximately 0.36 as at 31 December 2025 to approximately 0.306.

As at 31 March 2026, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$11,980,000. The Group’s average monthly operating cash requirement is approximately HK$3,000,000. Based on the current cash position, the Group has sufficient cash resources to sustain its operations for only approximately four months. The Company is therefore unable to service and repay its outstanding loan obligations from its existing cash resources, and the Rights Issue is necessary to raise funds for this purpose. In view of the Company requires funds for (i) maintaining its monthly operating expenses as well as (ii) repayment of loans in the next six months period, the unutilised proceeds from the Previous Rights Issue is not sufficient to cover. The Company considered that reallocation of unutilised proceeds would not be feasible as by the

— IFA-7 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

end of December 2026, all the proceeds from the Previous Rights Issue should have been fully utilised. To prevent any delay of repayment of loans, we concur with the Company that the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

It is estimated that the Company will raise up to approximately HK$10.33 million from the Rights Issue and the relevant expenses would be approximately HK$0.6 million, which includes placing commission and professional fees payable to legal advisors, financial printer and other parties involved in the Rights Issue. The net proceeds from the Rights Issue after deducting the estimated expenses in relation to the Rights Issue are estimated to be up to approximately HK$9.73 million, the Directors intended to utilize (i) approximately 90.4% or HK$8.8 million of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue for the repayment of the loan from an independent third party due on or before 1 January 2027; and (ii) the remaining approximately 9.6% or HK$0.9 million of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue for general working capital of the Group for settlement of professional fees and other administrative expenses for the next 12 months. For our due diligence purpose, we have obtained and reviewed the schedule of bank and other loans and loan agreement between the independent third party and the Company and ascertained the disclosure as set out above.

The Board has considered and determined that applying the entire net proceeds towards repayment of outstanding indebtedness is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, as it will reduce the Group's debt burden, lower its finance costs and improve its gearing ratio and overall financial position. Prior to the full utilisation of the net proceeds of the Rights Issue, all unutilised proceeds will be deposited in licensed banks in Hong Kong.

The current Rights Issue is primarily for the repayment of the Company's outstanding loan which matures on 1 January 2027. The purpose of the current Rights Issue is therefore materially different from that of the Previous Rights Issue, which was conducted primarily to replenish the general working capital of the Group for the payment of salaries, rental and building management fees, and outstanding professional fees and administrative expenses.

The Board has carefully considered the available fundraising alternatives. Regarding debt financing, the Company has previously approached at least two banks, both of which declined to provide financing due to insufficient security or collateral. Regarding underwriting, the Board considers that it would be difficult to procure underwriting on terms that are favourable to the Company and its Shareholders given the Company's current financial position.

Having regard to the foregoing, and notwithstanding the short interval between the current Rights Issue and the Previous Rights Issue, we concur with the Board's view that the Rights Issue is the most suitable fundraising option available to the Company and is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

— IFA-8 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

2.2 Fund-raising alternatives

As advised by the Directors, apart from the Rights Issue, the Directors have considered other debt or equity fundraising alternatives such as bank borrowings, placing or an open offer. The Directors note that bank borrowings, if available, carry additional interest costs and create pressure to the liquidity of the Company. The restrictive covenants in the loan transaction documents as may be imposed by the bank will also restrict the business activities of the Group. Hence, the Board does not consider it to be beneficial to the Company. As for placing new Shares, it would lead to immediate dilution in the shareholding interest of Shareholders without offering them the opportunity to participate in the enlarged capital base of the Company and it is relatively smaller in scale as compared to fund raising through rights issue. As opposed to an open offer, the Rights Issue enables the Shareholders to sell the nil-paid rights in the market. The Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and to continue to participate in the future development of the Group.

The Directors are of the view that the Rights Issue is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and that the Rights Issue is an appropriate fundraising method to strengthen the capital base of the Company, which in turn will support the Company's continuing development and business growth, while at the same time allowing the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportional shareholdings in the Company. In addition, the Company had preliminarily consulted brokerage companies (including the Placing Agent) for underwriting the Rights Issue but has not received any favourable feedback due to the current capital market situation apart from the Placing Agent who expressed its interest in acting as a placing agent on best effort basis. The Company considers that the placing obligation of the Placing Agent is more or less similar to an underwriter of the Rights Issue (except that the Placing Agent is on best effort basis). As such, the Company subsequently decided to conduct the Rights Issue on non-underwritten basis and to adopt the Placing Arrangement simultaneously in order to ensure sufficient funds could be raised.

Taking into account the benefits and potential cost of each of the alternatives, we are of the view and concur with the view of the Directors that placing of new Shares would only be available to certain places who are not necessarily the existing Shareholders which would dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders. We are of the view and concur with the view of the management of the Company that the Rights Issue allows the Group to reduce its gearing level and interest burden at a more cost effective and beneficial method and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Upon the giving of such notice of termination, the Placing Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further effect, and all respective obligations of either party thereunder shall cease and determine. Neither party shall have any claim against the other in respect of any matter arising out of or in connection with the Placing Agreement, except for any antecedent breach of any obligation under the Placing Agreement and any liabilities in respect of the Company's warranties and the commissions and expenses provisions.

Application for listing: The Company will apply to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares.

Board lot size of Rights Shares: 2,000 Shares

The terms of the Placing Agreement (including the commission payable) were determined after arm's length negotiation between the Placing Agent and the Company with reference to the size of the Rights Issue and the market conditions. The Board considers the terms of the Placing for the Placing Shares (including the commission payable) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

Considering the funding needs of the Company and the difficulties in conducting alternative fund-raising methods as discussed under the sub-section headed "2.1 The funding needs" and "2.2 Fund-raising alternatives" in this letter, and as the Placing offers additional means to facilitate the subscription of the untaken portion of the Rights Issue to the maximum extent, we consider that adopting the Placing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

The Placing Price

The Placing Price of each of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and/or NQS Unsold Rights Shares shall not be less than the Subscription Price, and the final Placing Price will be determined based on the demand for and the prevailing market conditions of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and/or the NQS Unsold Rights Shares during the placing process. As we consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable as discussed in the sub-section headed "3.3 Subscription Price" below in this letter, we also consider the arrangement of setting the Placing Price at or above the Subscription Price to be fair and reasonable.

The Placing Commission

According to the Placing Agreement, the Company will pay the Placing Agent the Placing Commission equivalent to 1.0% of the amount equal to the Placing Price multiplied by the number of Unsubscribed Rights Shares and NQS Unsold Rights Shares successfully placed by the Placing Agent and/or its sub-placing agent(s). To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Placing Commission, we have considered the placing commissions charged by placing agents of the Comparables (as defined below), where applicable. We noted that the placing commissions paid by these companies ranged from 0% to 4.0%, and the Placing Commission of 1.0% falls within the range of the Comparables. Hence, we consider that the Placing Commission pursuant to the Placing Agreement is fair and reasonable.

Taking into consideration (i) that the Subscription Price and the Placing Price are fair and reasonable; (ii) that the Placing offers additional means to raise funds for the Company; and (iii) the competitive nature of the Placing Commission relative to market norms, we concur with the Management that the terms of the Rights Issue and the Placing are fair and reasonable.

3.3 Subscription Price

As stated in the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular, the Subscription Price was determined by the Company with reference to, among other things, (i) the recent market price of the Shares under the prevailing market conditions; (ii) the prevailing market conditions of the capital market in Hong Kong; (iii) the financial position of the Group; and (iv) the amount of funds the Company intends to raise under the Rights Issue. For details of the Directors' rationale for determining the Subscription Price, please refer to the section headed "Reasons for and benefits of the Rights Issue and the use of proceeds" under the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular.

The Subscription Price of HK$0.18 per Rights Share is payable in full when a Qualifying Shareholder accepts the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares accepts the provisional allotment of the relevant Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

(i) a discount of approximately 22.7% to the closing price of HK$0.233 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

(ii) a discount of approximately 24.4% to the closing price of HK$0.238 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

(iii) a discount of 25.6% to the average closing price of HK$0.242 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(iv) a discount of approximately 26.0% to the average closing price of HK$0.243 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

(v) a discount of approximately 8.1% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.219 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.238 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

(vi) a discount of approximately 88.6% to the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$1.585 per Share based on the latest published audited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$181.8 million as at 31 December 2025 as set out in the annual results announcement of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the total number of issued Shares of 114,739,700 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date;

(vii) a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) represented by a discount of approximately 8.52% of the theoretical diluted price (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) of approximately HK$0.219 per Share to the benchmarked price of HK$0.2418 per Share (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of the closing price of HK$0.238 per Share on the Last Trading Day and the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day of HK$0.2418 per Share); and

(viii) a cumulative theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) in aggregate with the Previous Rights Issue represented by a discount of approximately 18.92%, represented by the cumulative theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$2.34 per Share to the benchmarked price of approximately HK$2.89 per Share (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Previous Rights Issue.

The cumulative theoretical diluted price, the benchmarked price and cumulative theoretical dilution effect (all defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) for the Rights Issue are approximately HK$2.34 per Share, HK$2.89 per Share and 18.92%, respectively. The Rights Issue will not result in a cumulative theoretical dilution effect of 25% or more on its own. As such, the cumulative theoretical dilution impact of the Rights Issue is in compliance with Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Subscription Price was determined with reference to, among other things, (i) the prevailing market price and recent trading performance of the Shares which includes the daily closing price and daily trading volume of the Shares during the six months prior to the Last Trading Day, where the closing price of the Shares demonstrated an overall downward trend from HK$0.485 per Share on 21 October 2025 to HK$0.238 per Share on the Last Trading Day with an average daily trading volume amounting to approximately 10.6% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Last Trading Day, which indicated a lack of liquidity and demand for the Shares; (ii) the latest business performance and financial position of the Group. For the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025, the Company recorded total comprehensive expense for the year of approximately HK$33.10 million and HK$111.4 million, respectively; (iii) the Directors' view that it is reasonable to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the closing price per Share on the Last Trading Day and the consolidated net asset value per Share attributable to the Shareholders as described above in order to enhance the attractiveness of the Rights Issue and encourage the Qualifying Shareholders and investors to participate, given the unfavourable price trend and lack of liquidity of the Shares; (iv) the relatively large fundraising size when compared with the market capitalisation of the Company as at the Last Trading Day; and (v) amount of funds the Company intends to raise for the purposes.

The Directors consider that the discount of the Subscription Price would encourage Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth and development of the Group. After taking into consideration the reasons for the Rights Issue as discussed under the section headed "2. Our view on reasons for the Rights Issue and the intended use of proceeds" in this letter, we consider the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have performed a review of the daily closing prices and trading volume of the Shares from 22 April 2025 to and including the Last Trading Day (the "Share Price Review Period") (being a period of 6 months prior to and including the Last Trading Day) and compared with the Subscription Price. We consider that the Share Price Review Period is adequate and representative to illustrate the recent price movement of the Shares for conducting a reasonable comparison among the historical closing prices prior to the Announcement and such comparison is relevant for the assessment of the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, as the share price before the Announcement represents a fair market value of the Company and the Shareholders had expected, whereas the price after the Announcement, the value may have taken into account the potential

effect of the Rights Issue which may distort the analysis. The chart below illustrates the daily closing price per Share ("Closing Price") versus the Subscription Price of HK$0.18 per Rights Share during the Share Price Review Period:

During the Share Price Review Period, the closing prices of the Shares fluctuated between the lowest of HK$0.23 per Share and the highest of HK$3.00 per Share, with an average closing price of approximately HK$1.351 per Share. As shown in the above chart, the closing price of the Share generally showed a decreasing trend from the highest closing price of HK$3.0 per Share on 2, 10 and 12 September 2025 to the lowest closing price of HK$0.23 per Share on 14 April 2026, representing a decrease of approximately 92.3%. Overall, we did not notice any specific reasons for the aforementioned movements of the closing prices during the Share Price Review Period, save for (i) the publication of an announcement regarding the further extension of the long stop date of the subscription of new shares under the general mandate on 6 May 2025; (ii) the publication of an announcement regarding (1) the proposed grant of general mandates to issue and repurchase shares; (2) the re-election of retiring directors; (3) the continued appointment of an independent non-executive director who has served for more than nine years; and (4) notice of annual general meeting on 21 May 2025; (iii) the publication of an announcement regarding the proposed rights issue on the basis of three rights shares for every eight existing shares held on the record date on a fully underwritten basis on 13 August 2025; (iv) the publication of the interim reports for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "2025 Interim Report") on 29 August 2025; (v) the publication of a clarification announcement in relation to adjustments to the outstanding share options on 8 October 2025; (vi) the publication of announcements regarding placing of new shares under the general mandate on 19 November 2025 and 5 December 2025; (vii) the publication of the Annual Report on 14 April 2026 and (viii) voluntary announcement on the

Rights Issue on 13 April 2026. As advised by the Management, the Company is not aware of any reasons for the aforementioned Share price fluctuations. The reasons for these fluctuations remain unclear, aside from possible market reactions to announcements made by the Company during that period. Despite the upward movements in September 2025, the overall trend indicates a general decline in the closing prices throughout the Share Price Review Period.

The Subscription Price of HK$0.18 represents (i) a discount of approximately 94.0% to the highest closing price of HK$3.00 per Share; (ii) a discount of approximately 21.7% to the lowest closing price of HK$0.23 per Share; and (iii) a discount of approximately 86.7% to the average closing price of HK$1.351 per Share over the Share Price Review Period. Although the Subscription Price falls outside the range of the closing prices of the Shares during the Share Price Review Period as mentioned above, after considering that (i) the closing price of the Shares has been decreasing during the Share Price Review Period, indicating that market sentiment towards the Shares is relatively negative; (ii) the low liquidity of the Shares as discussed in the sub-section headed "3.4 Historical trading liquidity of the Shares" below in this letter, indicates that the Shares were generally illiquid in the open market and, therefore, the Company is unlikely to be able to raise equity funds from third parties without a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares; (iii) the funding needs as discussed in the section headed "2. Our view on the reasons for the Rights Issue and the intended use of proceeds" above in this letter; and (iv) the common market practice of setting the subscription price at a discount to the prevailing market prices of the relevant shares in order to enhance attractiveness and encourage shareholder participation in the rights issue, and the fact that the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 24.4% to the closing price of HK$0.238 per Share on the Last Trading Day, we consider that the discount of the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and that the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have also reviewed the trading volume of the Shares during the Share Price Review Period. We noted from the above table that the liquidity of the Shares was generally thin during the Share Price Review Period, with an average daily trading volume of 601,269 Shares, representing approximately 0.55% of the total issued Shares. We noted that November 2025 and February 2026 both had high average daily trading volume as a percentage to the total number of issue Shares over 1.0% while the trading volume in other periods remains relatively thin. As advised by the Management, the Company reckon that the higher trading volume may related to the Previous Rights Issue, which was completed in October 2025 and the trading period was relatively short due to Chinese Lunar New Year holidays in February 2026, apart from that, the Management is not aware of any reasons for the aforementioned trading volume fluctuations. The reasons for these fluctuations remain unclear, aside from possible market reactions to announcements made by the Company during that period.

Upon our review of the "HKEX Monthly Market Highlights" from April 2025 to March 2026 (the "Relevant Period") available on the website of the Stock Exchange, we note that the average daily trading turnover to total market capitalisation of listed securities (including Main Board and GEM listed issuers) (the "Market Trading Turnover Ratio") during such period ranged from approximately 0.39% to approximately 0.71% with the mean of approximately 0.56%. Apart from November 2025 and February 2026, the average daily trading volume as a percentage to the total number of issue Shares was only 0.22%, which demonstrates that the Shares lacked liquidity in the open market. Investors were not actively trading the Shares.

In view of this, we considered the trading liquidity of the Shares were very thin during the Share Price Review Period, with 9 out of 11 full months less than 0.4% to the then total number of issued Shares as at the end of their respective month/period. We anticipate that the Qualifying Shareholders may have difficulties in acquiring or selling a significant number of Shares in the open market if the same trading pattern of the Shares persists during and after the completion of the Rights Issue without exerting impact on the market price of the Shares. We are therefore of the view that it is reasonable to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the average Closing Price and it would encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and to maintain their respective shareholding interests in the Company.

3.5 Comparison with recent rights issues exercise

In order to further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Rights Issue, we intended to search rights issue transactions conducted by other listed companies in the Stock Exchange with similar business, i.e. engaged in provision of system integration and related support services, provision of IT infrastructure solutions and maintenance services, rental of properties and securities trading with market capitalisation not more than HK$30 million (as the market capitalisation of the Company is approximately HK$26.4 million as at date of the Announcement during the Comparable Review Period. Based on the aforesaid selection criteria, there is no company identified. If we relax the selection criteria to the nature of business, only one listed company is identified, which we are of view that the size of comparable is not enough. Based on the above situation, we relax our selection criteria to rights issue transactions conducted by other listed companies in the Stock Exchange during the Comparable Review Period and we have identified an exhaustive list of 27 rights issue transactions announced by other companies listed on the Stock Exchange during the period from 21 November 2025 up to the Last Trading Day (the "Comparable Review Period") and up to the Latest Practicable Date (the "Comparables"), without taking into consideration market capitalisation, fundraising size and the type of issuance (e.g. excess application or compensatory arrangement) in determining the selection criteria of the Comparables. In line with market practice, we consider it is appropriate to include such assumptions in the comparable analysis below for Shareholders' reference. We believe that those rights issue transactions for which listing documents have been issued imply that they have been approved by the relevant shareholders or are exempt from shareholders' approval and thus the terms and structure of these rights issue transactions are more meaningful for comparison. Shareholders should note that the subject companies in the Comparables may have different principal business activities, market capitalisations, profitability and financial positions as compared with those of the Company. Although the circumstances surrounding the Comparables may be different from those relating to the Company, we consider that the Comparable Review Period is adequate and fair and reasonable to capture the prevailing market conditions in relation to rights issue transactions and that the Comparables, for illustrative purposes only, serve as a general reference for prevailing market practices in relation to rights issue transactions conducted by companies listed on the Stock Exchange.

The Comparables listed below have been identified through our research using public information. We believe that this is an exhaustive list based on our selection criteria. The major terms of the rights issues conducted by the Comparables are summarised below:

Announcement date Company name Stock code Basis for entitlement Premium/(Discount) of the subscription price over/to Theoretical dilution effect Excess application or compensatory arrangements Placing commission Underwritten
Closing price (%) the theoretical ex-right entitlement price (%) the latest net asset value per share Note (%)

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Notes:

  1. Information has been extracted from the relevant announcements (including supplemental announcements) of the rights issue of the respective Comparables.
  2. "N/A" denotes that the announcement did not disclose such information.
  3. The theoretical dilution effect is calculated according to Rule10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules or Rule7.27B of the Listing Rules.

As set out in the table above, we note that:

(a) the discount/premium of subscription price to the closing price on the Last Trading Day of the Comparables ranged from a discount of approximately 72.9% to premium of approximately 26.6%, with an average discount of approximately 27.9%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 24.4% to the closing price on the Last Trading Day, which falls within the range and is slightly lower than the average discount of the Comparables;

(b) the discount/premium of the subscription price to the theoretical ex-rights price of the Comparables ranged from a discount of approximately 66.1% to a premium of approximately 16.3%, with an average discount of approximately 17.9%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 8.1% to the theoretical ex-rights price per Share on the Last Trading Day which falls within the range and is lower than the average discount of the Comparables;

(c) the theoretical dilution effect of the rights issues of the Comparables ranged from approximately 1.0% to approximately 24.3%, with an average of approximately 14.8%. The theoretical dilution effect and the cumulative theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue of approximately 9.5% and 19.2% respectively, are within the range of the Comparables. Notwithstanding the cumulative theoretical dilution effect of 19.16% is substantially higher than the average and median of the Comparables, we consider the subscription price and the basis of entitlement are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders given the imminent funding needs to meet its repayment obligations. After considering (i) the current financial position of the Group; (ii) the benefits and cost of alternative fundraising means; and (iii) the importance of the fundraising exercise to the Company to satisfy its pressing financial needs, the Directors consider, and we concur, that the Rights Issue will enable the Group to raise the necessary funds in a timely manner to repay outstanding indebtedness of the Group, which is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole;

(d) the Rights Issue is on a non-underwritten basis, which is in line with market practice, given that 25 out of 27 Comparables were also conducted on a non-underwritten basis; and

(e) the Placing Commission of 1.0% under the Placing Agreement is within the range of placing commission rates charged by the placing agents of the Comparables, which ranged from nil to 4.0% of funds raised.

— IFA-26 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As mentioned in the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular, there will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue. Among the Comparables, 19 out of 27 did not offer excess application arrangements for their shareholders. As such, we consider the absence of excess application arrangements in rights issues is not an uncommon market practice.

It is a common market practice to set the subscription price of a rights issue at a discount to the closing share prices on the last trading day and the theoretical ex-entitlement prices in order to enhance the attractiveness of the rights issue and encourage qualifying shareholders to participate.

In view of (i) the recent general downward trend of the closing price of the Shares and the generally thin trading volume of the Shares during the Share Price Review Period, as discussed in the sub-section headed "3.4 Historical trading liquidity of the Shares" above in this letter; (ii) the discounts represented by the Subscription Price all fall within the range of the Comparables; and (iii) the fact that the Rights Issue is available to all Qualifying Shareholders, we consider that the principal terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, to be fair and reasonable to the Shareholders and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3.6 Non-underwritten Basis

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. There is no minimum subscription level or minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue. In the event that the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares that are not subscribed by the Qualifying Shareholders or renounces or transferees of the nil-paid Rights under the PALs (i.e. the Unsubscribed Rights Shares) together with the NQS Unsold Rights Shares (collectively, the Placing Shares) will be placed to independent Places on a best-effort basis through the Placing. Any Placing Shares that are not placed will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

The Company conducted an evaluation of potential underwriting arrangements for the Rights Issue, approaching a number of securities firms to assess their interest in acting as underwriter. However, only the Placing Agent expressed interest and willingness to participate as a placing agent, with no other underwriters prepared to commit to a full underwriting agreement.

Given the lack of underwriting interest, the Board determined that proceeding on a non-underwritten basis, combined with the Placing Agreement, represents the most viable and efficient approach to meet the Company's funding objectives.

Furthermore, as detailed in the section headed "Placing Agreement" in this Circular, the Unsubscribed Rights Shares, the NQS Unsold Rights Shares and a compensatory mechanism for No Action Shareholders and the Excluded Shareholders. After careful deliberation, the Board concluded that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the non-underwritten structure and the Placing, are fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As the Rights Issue is not underwritten and has not set a minimum subscription amount, a Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares under the Takeovers Code or cause the public float of the Company to decrease to below 25%. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder for his/her/its assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which (a) does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance to the note to Rule 10.26(2) of the GEM Listing Rules; and (b) does not cause the Company's public float to decrease to below 25%. Any subscription monies not utilized due to the scaled-down application of entitled Rights Shares will be refunded to the affected applicants.

There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue.

The Board considers that it to be in the interests of the Company to proceed with the Rights Issue on a non-underwritten basis taking into consideration that: (i) there are no statutory requirements regarding the minimum subscription levels for the Rights Issue and there is no minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue; (ii) in light of (a) the recent market performance of the Shares, in particular the Company's average daily trading volume during the six months prior to and including the Last Trading Day, which indicated a lack of liquidity and demand for the Shares; and (b) the latest business performance and financial position of the Group, particularly the fact that the Group experienced a decrease in revenue and recorded net loss in FY2025, the Directors consider that there would be a lack of interest from underwriters to underwrite the Rights Shares; and (iii) the Subscription Price, being set at a discount to the prevailing market prices of the Shares, should encourage the Qualifying Shareholders and investors to participate in the Rights Issue, thereby raising the necessary funding for the Company. We note that the proposed Rights Issue will be conducted on a non-underwritten basis. According to the "Letter from the Board" in the Circular, if the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, the net proceeds will be allocated and utilised in the same proportion as set out in the intended uses above. We consider that such consistency in the application of the net proceeds is fair and reasonable together with our assessment on the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed proportions under the sub-section headed "2.1 The funding needs".

It is noted that 25 out of the 27 Comparables were conducted on a non-underwritten basis, which suggests that it is common practice in the recent period for rights issues to be conducted on a non-underwritten basis.

4. Fund raising activities of the company in the past twelve months

Save as disclosed below, the Company has not conducted any fund-raising activities in the past twelve months immediately prior to the date of the Latest Practicable Date:

Date of announcement Event Net proceeds raised (approximately) Proposed use of proceeds Actual use of proceeds as at the Latest Practicable Date
6 October 2025 Rights issue on the basis of three rights shares for every eight existing shares held on the record date on a fully underwritten basis HK$32.05 million Approximately HK$3,600,000 for rental and building management fees; approximately HK$27,000,000 for salaries; and approximately HK$1,450,000 for settlement of professional fees and other administrative expenses (i) approximately HK$1,678,000 for rental and building management fees; (ii) approximately HK$11,058,000 for salaries; and (iii) approximately HK$1,450,000 for settlement of professional fees and other administrative expenses, all as intended.
19 November 2025 and 5 December 2025 Placing of 14,000,000 New Shares Under General Mandate HK$3,881,000 (i) the repayment of maturing indebtedness; and (ii) general working capital of the Group Used as intended

5. Possible financial effects of the Rights Issue

It should be noted that the analysis below is for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will become upon completion of the Rights Issue and the Placing.

5.1 Net tangible assets

With reference to “Unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group” as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 31 December 2025 amounted to approximately HK$161.4 million. Upon completion of the Rights Issue, the Group will have unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company being approximately HK$171.8 million.

5.2 Liquidity

The estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue are expected to enhance the Group’s current assets by approximately HK$10.33 million, assuming full acceptance by the Qualifying Shareholders. After deducting the estimated expenses in relation to the Rights Issue, the net proceeds are estimated to be up to approximately HK$9.73 million, which are intended to be applied in full towards the repayment of outstanding indebtedness of the Company. The Rights Issue is expected to improve the Group’s liquidity position immediately after completion.

— IFA-29 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Considering that (i) the financial position of the Group would be improved; and (ii) the Group’s bargaining power in future fundraising opportunities with third party financial institutions would be strengthened, together with improved financial performance, we are of the view that the overall financial impact on the Group upon completion of the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

6. Possible dilution effect on the interests of the Independent Shareholders

All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares. A Qualifying Shareholder who takes up its full provisional allotment under the Rights Issue will retain the same shareholding interest in the Company after completion of the Rights Issue. Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares may, subject to prevailing market conditions, consider selling their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market. However, they should note that their shareholding interests in the Company will be diluted upon completion of the Rights Issue.

With reference to the shareholding tables in the section headed “SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY” of the “Letter from the Board” in the Circular, the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders would be diluted by a maximum of approximately 33.3% immediately after completion of the Rights Issue, assuming nil acceptance of the Rights Shares by the Qualifying Shareholders and that all Unsubscribed Rights Shares and NQS Unsold Rights Shares have been placed by the Placing Agent.

With reference to the Letter from the Board, there will be a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) of approximately 9.5%, representing a theoretical dilution price of approximately HK$0.219 per Share compared with a benchmarked price of approximately HK$0.242 per Share.

Having considered that: (i) the dilution effect is not prejudicial as all Qualifying Shareholders are offered an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company and Shareholders’ interests in the Company will not be diluted if they elect to exercise their full provisional allotments under the Rights Issue; (ii) the Qualifying Shareholders have the opportunity to realise their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market, subject to availability; and (iii) the Independent Shareholders are offered a chance to express their views on the terms of the Rights Issue through their votes at the EGM, we are of the view that the potential dilution effect on shareholding, which may only affect Qualifying Shareholders who decide not to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares, is acceptable and justifiable.

— IFA-30 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration the above principal factors and reasons regarding the major terms of the Rights Issue, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price and the potential dilution effect, are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and that the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Rights Issue.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Patrons Capital Limited
