(b) the proposed granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors;

Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with the Shares for an aggregate number not exceeding 20% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution.

Details of the Issue Mandate are set out in the proposed ordinary resolution referred to as resolution no. 4 of the notice of the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has in issue an aggregate of 1,013,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolutions for the approval of the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date until the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 202,600,000 Shares.

3. PROPOSED GRANT OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 August 2024 granted a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, such repurchase mandate has not been utilised and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase the Shares for a total number not exceeding 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution.

An explanatory statement giving the particulars required under the Listing Rules in respect of the Repurchase Mandate to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision whether to vote for or against the resolution is set out in the Appendix I to the Circular.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Details of the Repurchase Mandate are set out in the proposed ordinary resolution referred to as resolution no. 5 of the notice of the AGM.

The Repurchase Mandate will remain in effect until whichever is the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying such mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has in issue an aggregate of 1,013,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolutions for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date until the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Issue Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 101,300,000 Shares.

4. PROPOSED EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE

In addition, if the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate are granted, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by the addition to the number of the Shares which may be issued, allotted and dealt with or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be issued, allotted and dealt with by the Directors pursuant to the Issue Mandate of an amount representing the number of the issued Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

Details of the extension of the Issue Mandate are set out in the ordinary resolution as referred to in resolution no. 6 of the notice of the AGM.

5. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to article 84(1) of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every three years.

Pursuant to article 84(2) of the Articles of Association, a retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. Any Director appointed by the Board pursuant to Article 83(3) shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation.

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to article 83(3) of the Articles of Association, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director so appointed shall hold office only until the first annual general meeting of the Company after his appointment and shall then be eligible for re-election.

In accordance with the above provisions of the Articles of Association, each of Mr. Ng Choi Wah, Ms. Ng Wa Ying, Dr. Wai Yin Wah Agnes, Mr. Chau Kam Wing Donald and Dr. Wai Wing Hong Onyx will retire from office and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

Biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to the Circular.

According to code provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code as set out in Appendix C1 of the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive Director serves more than nine years, such director's further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. The Circular to Shareholders accompanying that resolution should state why the board (or the nomination committee) believes that the director is still independent and should be re-elected, including the factors considered, the process and the discussion of the board (or the nomination committee) in arriving at such determination. As Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau have served as independent non-executive Directors of the Company for more than nine years, separate resolutions for their re-appointment as independent non-executive Directors of the Company should be proposed to the Shareholders for approval at the AGM.

The appointments of Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau as independent non-executive Directors of the Company have been reviewed and assessed by the nomination committee of the Company. The Company has received from each of Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau a confirmation of independence according to the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Taking into consideration the fact that both Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau have not involved in the day to day management of the Company. The nomination committee is of the view that both Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau meet the independent guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules despite the fact that they have served the Company as independent non-executive directors for more than nine years. The nomination committee is also of the view that Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau will bring to the Board their perspective, skills and experience, as further described in their biographies in Appendix II to this Circular. In this regard, the nomination committee believes that the re-election of Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau as independent non-executive Director is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and therefore recommended their re-election to the Board.

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board has also reviewed and assessed the independence of Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau who have served as independent non-executive Directors of the Company for more than 9 years. The Board has reviewed the annual confirmation of independence provided by both Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau and confirmed that they have fulfilled the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and remain independent. The Board considers that the long service of Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau will not affect their exercise of independent judgement and is satisfied that both Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau have the required character, integrity, experience and profound knowledge to continue fulfilling the role of an independent non-executive Director effectively. The Board, with the recommendation of the nomination committee, nominated Dr. Onyx Wai and Mr. Chau for re-appointment as independent non-executive Directors of the Company at the AGM.

6. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 18 July 2025 in relation to the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association. In light of the proposed amendments, the Board proposed to adopt an amended and restated Articles of Association in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the existing Articles of Association.

The major proposed amendments to the existing Articles of Association are summarised below:

  1. to amend the relevant provisions of the existing Articles of Association to expressly allow voting by the Shareholders at its general meetings via electronic means in accordance with the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules;
  2. to amend the relevant provisions of the existing Articles of Association to allow for holding electronic and hybrid general meetings of the Company; and
  3. to make consequential and other housekeeping amendments to better align with the wordings and requirements of the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules.

Details of the proposed amendments to certain articles of the existing Articles of Associations are set out in Appendix III to the Circular. Save for the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association, the other provisions of the Articles of Association shall remain unchanged. There is no official Chinese translation in respect thereof. Therefore, the Chinese version of the Articles of Association is purely a translation only. Should there be any discrepancy, the English version shall prevail.

The Company has been advised by its legal advisers that the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association conform to the requirements of the Listing Rules and do not violate with the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company also confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association for a company listed on the Stock Exchange.

A special resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to, among others, consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association. Prior to the passing of the relevant special resolution at the AGM, the existing Articles of Association shall remain valid.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The amendments to the Articles of Association will take effect upon the proposed amendments being approved at the AGM.

After the effective of the new Articles of Association, the full text of the new Articles of Association will be published on the website of the Stock Exchange and the Company’s website respectively.

10. VOTING AT THE AGM

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 1,013,000,000 Shares were in issue of nominal value of HK$0.01. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date until the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 101,300,000 Shares representing not more than 10% of the number of the issued Share of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

  1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, may lead to enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or the earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The number of the Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms on which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

  1. SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR REPURCHASE

The Company is empowered by the Articles of Association to repurchase its Shares. In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum, the Articles of Association, the Companies Act and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, as the case may be.

The Company may not repurchase its own Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange in effect from time to time.

Subject to the foregoing, any repurchase of the Shares by the Company may be made out of profits of the Company, out of share premium, or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of the Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Act, out of capital. Any amount of premium payable on the repurchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be out of profits of the Company, out of the Company's share premium account before or at the time the Shares are repurchased, or subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.

  • 11 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 March 2025, the Directors consider that there could be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing level of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full during the proposed purchases period. However, 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 requirements of the Company or its gearing level which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTORS

The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution for the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Memorandum, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

5. INTENTION TO SELL SHARES

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention, in the event that the proposed resolution for the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any of their Shares to the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell their Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to sell any of their Shares to the Company, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares.

6. CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of the Shares by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any such consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge of the Directors, 726,800,000 shares representing 71.75% (excluding share options of the Company) of the issued share capital of the Company are owned by Mr. Ng in which JT Glory held 645,000,000 Shares representing 63.67% (excluding share options of the Company) of the issued share capital of the Company. JT Glory is legally and beneficially owned as to 100% by Mr. Ng. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Ng is deemed, or taken to be, interested in the Shares held by JT Glory in the Company. Another 81,800,000 shares representing 8.08% (excluding share options of the Company) of the issued share capital of the Company are owned by Mr. Ng through the bank directly. Ms. Cheung is the spouse of Mr. Ng. Under the SFO, Ms. Cheung is deemed, or taken to be, interested in the same number of the Shares in which Mr. Ng is interested.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

If the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full (and assuming that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Repurchase Mandate, if approved by the Shareholders, is exercised in full), the total number of the Shares which will be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate shall be 101,300,000 Shares (being 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). The shareholding percentage of the controlling shareholders will be increased to approximately 79.72% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately following the full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate. Any repurchase of the Shares which results in the number of the Shares held by the public being reduced to less than the prescribed percentage of the Shares then in issue could only be implemented with the approval of the Stock Exchange to waive the Listing Rules requirements regarding the public float under the Listing Rules. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in the number of the Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of the Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may be prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the Listing Rules).

7. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

| | Highest
HK$ | Lowest
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2024 | | |
| July | 0.081 | 0.046 |
| August | 0.052 | 0.040 |
| September | 0.056 | 0.036 |
| October | 0.056 | 0.043 |
| November | 0.049 | 0.041 |
| December | 0.041 | 0.036 |
| 2025 | | |
| January | 0.049 | 0.030 |
| February | 0.035 | 0.031 |
| March | 0.049 | 0.032 |
| April | 0.040 | 0.026 |
| May | 0.032 | 0.029 |
| June | 0.042 | 0.022 |
| July (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.043 | 0.034 |

8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
