  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024, the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account was approximately RMB3,085.5 million. Based on the number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account immediately before payment of the Special Dividend will be the same as such amount, following the payment of the Special Dividend, there would be a remaining balance of approximately RMB2,989.1 standing to the credit of the share premium account.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 117,833,000 Treasury Shares were held by the Company in its own name, and no Treasury Shares were held or deposited with Central Clearing and Settlement System. Treasury Shares of the Company would not receive the Special Dividend.

The Board considers it appropriate to distribute the Special Dividend in recognition of Shareholders' trust, support and confidence towards the Company. After taking into consideration a number of factors including the existing cash flow and financial condition of the Group, the Board considers that the Company has sufficient cash and cash flow to pay the Special Dividend and believes that the payment of the Special Dividend will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.

The payment of the Special Dividend does not involve any reduction in the authorized or issued share capital of the Company nor does it involve any reduction in the nominal value of the Shares or any change in the trading arrangements in respect of the Shares. The Directors consider that the declaration and proposed payment of the Special Dividend is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

6. To consider and approve the granting of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate to the Board

Based on the 4,336,353,000 Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares will be issued and no Shares will be repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Company can issue up to 867,270,600 Shares with an aggregate nominal amount of HK$86,727,060 under the Issue Mandate;

Introduction

To enable the Company to grant share awards as part of its incentives and rewards to participants for the growth and development of the Group, the Board proposes to adopt the Share Award Plan.

A summary of the principal terms of the Share Award Plan is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

The Company has adopted a Share Option Scheme on February 21, 2019 and is valid and effective for a period of 10 years commencing on the adoption date. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Group shall not in aggregate exceed 400,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 9.2% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no share option had been granted and no share option was outstanding under the Share Option Scheme. Save for the Share Option Scheme, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not adopted any other share scheme(s) which are subject to the requirements of Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules.

Conditions

The Share Award Plan is conditional upon:

(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at a general meeting to approve the adoption of the Share Award Plan and authorizing the Directors to grant Awards thereunder and to allot, issue and deal with Shares pursuant to the grant of any Awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Award Plan; and

(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, such number of Shares representing the Plan Mandate Limit to be allotted and issued by the Company pursuant to the grant of Awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Award Plan.

So far as the Directors are aware and having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the AGM to approve the adoption of the Share Award Plan.

An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued in respect of the Awards to be granted under the Share Award Plan.

Duration

Subject to the satisfaction of the above conditions and any early termination, the Share Award Plan shall be valid and effective for a term of 10 years commencing from the Adoption Date, and after the expiry of such 10-year term no further Awards may be made but the rules of the Share Award Plan shall remain in full force and effect to the extent necessary to give effect to any Awards made prior thereto and the administration of the trust property held by the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Deed.

Source of Awards

The Share Award Plan is funded by (a) such Shares as may be purchased by the Trustee on the Stock Exchange or off the market; (b) such Shares as may be allotted and issued to the Trustee; (c) such Shares which any person or company recommended by the Company may irrevocably donate or transfer to or irrevocably vest or caused to be vested in the Trustee to be held upon trusts; and (d) the Returned Shares (as defined in the rules of the Share Award Scheme). For the purposes of the Share Award Plan, new Shares include Treasury Shares and the issue/subscription of Shares includes the transfer of Treasury Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Eligible Participants and basis for determining eligibility of participants

The Eligible Participants under the Share Award Plan includes (a) the directors and employees of the Group (including persons who are granted Awards under the Share Award Plan as an inducement to enter into employment contracts with the Group) (i.e. the Employee Participant); and (b) the directors and employees of the holding companies, fellow subsidiaries or associated companies of the Company (i.e. the Related Entity Participant).

The criteria in determining the eligibility for the grant of an Award are based on, among other things, the Eligible Participants’ contribution and/or future contribution to development and growth of the Group, further details of which are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

Under the Share Award Plan, the Employee Participants includes Independent Non-executive Directors. The Company currently has no intention to grant any Awards with performance targets to its Independent Non-executive Directors. If the Company makes any such grant in the future, it will comply with the relevant disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules.

Under the Share Award Plan, Eligible Participants includes Related Entity Participant. Apart from the contributions from employees, the success of the Group might also come from the efforts and contributions from non-employees such as Related Entity Participants who may contribute to the Group in the future. The Board (including the Independent Non-executive Directors) believe that the grant of Awards to Related Entity Participants would strengthen their loyalty to the Group and provide incentives for (i) a higher degree of their participation and involvement in promoting the business of the Group, (ii) maintaining a stable and long-term relationship with the Group, and (iii) enabling the Group to preserve its cash resources, and instead, use share incentives to attract talents outside of the Group, whilst also aligning their interests with that of the Group and Shareholders through them owning a proprietary interest in the Company and becoming future Shareholders.

Given the Board or the Committee has the authority to select the appropriate Related Entity Participant based on his relationship with the Group and influence on the Group’s business, reputation, operations and performance, and to specify the terms and conditions in respect of any Awards that may be granted, including performance targets and/or individual performance indicators relevant to the Related Entity Participant’s roles and responsibilities, the Board (including the Independent Non-executive Directors) is of the view that the inclusion of Related Entity Participants as Eligible Participants and the criteria in determining the eligibility of such Related Entity Participants are in line with the Company’s business need and industry norm, and granting Awards to the Related Entity Participants will incentivize them to contribute towards the growth of the Group, which aligns with the purpose of the Share Award Plan and the long-term interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee in its absolute discretion at the relevant time for each Award, a Selected Participant is not required to pay any grant or purchase price or make any other payment to the Company for accepting an offer of the Award granted, nor is the Selected Participant required to pay any subscription or purchase price for the vesting of the Awards or the receipt of the Awarded Shares. The Board considers that it is consistent with the purpose of the Share Award Plan for the Company to retain discretion to consider the purchase price, if any, for an Award and the underlying Awarded Shares so that meaningful reward may be provided to Selected Participants in recognition of their contribution or potential contribution to the Group.

Vesting Period

The Vesting Period for an Award under the Share Award Plan is generally for a minimum period of 12 months in order to incentivize Selected Participants to remain with the Group, save for certain prescribed circumstances (as set out in Appendix III to this circular) in which the Board or the Committee may impose a shorter vesting period for Employee Participants. The Board and, where the arrangements relate to grants of Awards to Directors and/or senior managers of the Company, the Remuneration Committee, consider that such circumstances allow flexibility for the Company to (i) provide competitive terms to attract and induce valuable talent to join the Group; (ii) serve as compassionate arrangements for Employee Participants whose employment is terminated due to death, disability or event of force majeure; (iii) motivate Employee Participants based on performance metrics rather than time-based

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

vesting criteria; and (iv) address instances where the 12-month vesting period requirement would not be practicable or fair due to administrative or technical reasons. Therefore, the Board and the Remuneration Committee are of the view that the vesting period requirements (including the circumstances in which a shorter vesting period may apply) are appropriate and align with the purpose of the Share Award Plan.

Performance targets

The Share Award Plan sets out the qualitative description of possible performance targets related to financial and non-financial parameters of the Group and/or individual performance indicators (as set out in Appendix III to this circular) and allows discretion for the Board or the Committee to determine whether any performance targets will be specified in respect of each Award on a case-by-case basis, for the purpose of motivating Selected Participants to strive for the future development and expansion of the Group. As each Selected Participant has a different position or role with respect to the Group and may contribute to the Group differently in terms of nature, duration or significance, it may not always be appropriate to impose a generic set of performance targets for each Award. Therefore, the Share Award Plan does not prescribe the performance targets that must be met before each Award may vest. However, the Board or the Committee shall specify the conditions including any performance targets for each Award in the Award Notice. The Board considers that it is more beneficial for the Company to have flexibility to determine whether and to what extent any performance targets will be attached to each Award in light of the specific circumstances of each Selected Participant.

Clawback mechanism

The Board or the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, specify in the Award Notice the clawback mechanism for the Company to recover or withhold an Award granted to a Selected Participant if any of the following events shall occur: (i) the Selected Participant has committed any fraud or serious misconduct; or (ii) in respect of any Award which is performance linked, there is a material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements of the Company that requires a restatement, or any other circumstance that shows or leads to any of the prescribed performance targets having been assessed or calculated in a materially inaccurate manner. The Board is of the view that the clawback mechanism in the Share Award Plan provides the Board with a choice to claw back the equity incentives granted to certain Selected Participants and more flexibility in setting the terms and conditions of the Awards under particular circumstances, which would facilitate the objective to offer meaningful incentives to attract and retain quality personnel that is valuable to the development of the Group, and is in line with the purpose of the Share Award Plan.

Appointment of the Trustee, voting rights, etc.

The Company will appoint the Trustee, who shall be an independent third party, to hold the Awarded Shares and manage the trust for the benefits of the Selected Participants and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Trust Deed. The Directors do not have any direct or indirect interests in the Trustee, or have any role or position in the Trustee. The


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Trustee shall hold the Awarded Shares on trust for the relevant Selected Participants until such Awarded Shares are vested to the relevant Selected Participants under the Share Award Plan. The Trustee holding unvested Awarded Shares shall abstain from voting on matters that require Shareholders' approval under the Listing Rules, unless otherwise required by law to vote in accordance with the beneficial owner's direction and such a direction is given.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This explanatory statement contains the information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules. Its purpose is to provide the Shareholders with information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate. Neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company, the Group and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company, the Group and the Shareholders.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 4,336,353,000 Shares in issue (excluding Treasury Shares) and 117,833,000 Treasury Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorized under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force, up to 433,635,300 Shares (representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the date of the AGM) with an aggregate nominal value of HK$43,363,530.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Listing Rules and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection, including profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or out of share premium account or, if authorized by the Articles and subject to the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, out of capital of the Company and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorized by the Articles and subject to the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, out of capital of the Company.


APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company. There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

4. INTENTION OF DIRECTORS AND CONNECTED PERSONS TO SELL SHARES

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

5. SHARE PRICES

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

6. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company repurchased a total of 8,097,000 Shares on the Stock Exchange, details of which are as follows:

Date of Repurchase No. of Shares Repurchased Highest Price per Share HK$ Lowest Price per Share HK$

April 23, 2025 477,000 2.57 2.53
April 24, 2025 754,000 2.56 2.49

Save as disclosed above, no repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

7. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, the exercise of the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate shall be in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

8. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC FLOAT

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the interest of the Shareholder (and concerted parties, if any), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.


APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, the following person held 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:

Name of Shareholder Nature of interest Number of Shares (share)(1) Approximate percentage of the total issued share capital of the Company (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date (%) If Repurchase Mandate is exercised fully, approximate percentage of the total issued share capital of the Company (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date (%)
Texson Limited Beneficial owner 3,182,910,928 73.40% 81.56%

Note:
(1) All interests stated are long positions.

In the event that the Directors exercise the power in full to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of the above persons in the issued share capital of the Company will be increased as shown above. On the basis of the aforesaid increase of shareholding, the Directors are not presently aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the issued share capital would be in public hands. The Company has made an application to the Stock Exchange when applying for the listing of its Shares, and the Stock Exchange has granted the Company a waiver that the minimum public float requirement under Rule 8.08(1) of the Listing Rules be reduced, based on which the minimum percentage of the Shares from time to time held by the public hand should be the percentage of Shares of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company after the full exercise of the over-allotment option (or any options that may be granted under the share option scheme of the Company).

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the extent that will result in the number of Shares in hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage.


APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

INTENTIONAL USE OF THE REPURCHASED SHARES

To the extent permitted by the applicable laws, the Listing Rules and the Articles, the Company may either cancel any or all of the Shares to be repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate or retain them as Treasury Shares, subject to the prevailing market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases. Further, the Company will file a next day disclosure return for every Share repurchase under Rule 13.25A and provide details of the repurchased Shares, including but not limited to the number of repurchased Shares that are cancelled or held as Treasury Shares.

ARRANGEMENTS TO HOLD OR DEPOSIT TREASURY SHARES IN CENTRAL CLEARING AND SETTLEMENT SYSTEM ("CCASS")

Should the Company engage in on-exchange share buy-backs with the intention of holding the repurchased Shares as Treasury Shares, it will, upon completion of the repurchase, withdraw the repurchased Shares from CCASS and register the repurchased Shares in the Company's register of members under its own name as Treasury Shares. The Company may only re-deposit the Treasury Shares into CCASS if there is an immediate plan to resell them on the Stock Exchange, and such resale should be executed promptly. For any Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it would not exercise any Shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the relevant laws if those Shares were registered in the issuer's own name as Treasury Shares, including but not limited to the Board of Directors approving that: (i) the Company shall procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company should withdraw the Treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as Treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.
