2. ISSUE MANDATE
Pursuant to the resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 May 2025, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares. Such mandate will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. In order to ensure flexibility and give discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to issue any new Shares, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and/or otherwise deal with additional Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury Shares out of treasury) not exceeding 20% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Issue Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, 61,920,000 Shares have been fully issued and paid. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution numbered 5(A) set out in the AGM Notice 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 Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to issue (or transfer out of treasury) a maximum of 12,384,000 Shares.
In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution numbered 5(C) set out in the AGM Notice, the number of Shares purchased by the Company under the ordinary resolution numbered 5(B) set out in the AGM Notice will be added to extend the Issue Mandate as mentioned in the ordinary resolution numbered 5(A) set out in the AGM Notice provided that such additional value shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury Shares) as at the date of passing the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares pursuant to the Issue Mandate.
3. REPURCHASE MANDATE
Pursuant to the resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 26 May 2025, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares. Such mandate will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. In order to ensure flexibility and give discretion to the Directors in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to repurchase Shares, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting.
4. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with article 84 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting of the Company 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 and will be eligible for re-election, provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.
Accordingly, Mr. Ng Chern Ann, Mr. David Doust and Mr. Choy Man will hold office as the Directors until the Annual General Meeting. All of the above retiring Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. Details of the above retiring Directors who are subject to re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular.
The Nomination Committee considers, among others, the following criteria in evaluating and selecting candidates for directorship:

(a) diversity in all its aspects, including but not limited to skills, knowledge, gender, age, ethnicity, cultural and educational background, professional experience and other personal qualities of the candidate;
-
(b) ability to exercise sound business judgment and possess proven achievement and experience in directorship including effective oversight of and guidance to management;
-
(c) commitment of the candidate to devote sufficient time for the proper discharge of the duties of a Director. In this regard, the candidate should not be a Director of more than six public companies or organisations; other executive appointments or significant commitments will also be considered;
-
(d) potential/actual conflicts of interest that may arise if the candidate is selected;
-
(e) independence of the independent non-executive Director candidates must satisfy the independence requirements under the Listing Rules; and
-
(f) in the case of a proposed re-appointment of an independent non-executive Director, the number of years he/she has already served.

– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Mr. Choy Man has made a confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Board is satisfied that, taking into account, inter alia, the valuable independent judgement, advice and objective views contributed by Mr. Choy Man, he is of such character, integrity and experience commensurate with office of independent non-executive Director. The Board is not aware of any circumstance that might influence the independence of Mr. Choy Man.
5. RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
The Board proposes to re-appoint ZHONGHUI ANDA CPA Limited as the Company’s auditor for the year ending 31 December 2026 at the Annual General Meeting.
The estimated audit fee for audit services to be rendered by the auditor for the year ending 31 December 2026 is expected to be in the range of US$180,000 to US$220,000. In reaching this estimated fee range, the Company (including the Audit Committee) has discussed with the auditor, and the estimated range was based on the following:
-
. scope of audit services to be rendered (covering the audit of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards);
-
. the audit timetable; and
-
. size, nature and complexity of the Group’s business model and manpower resources required
The estimated audit fee also assumes that there will be no material change in the Group’s operations, accounting policies or regulatory environment during the year ending 31 December 2026, and that the Company will provide timely and adequate assistance and information as reasonably required for the purposes of the audit.
Unless there is a material change in the basis or assumptions set out above, the final audit fee should not deviate materially from the estimated amount initially disclosed. In the event of any material change, the Company will make further disclosure as appropriate.
6. CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS
For the purpose of determining Shareholders’ entitlement to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 25 June 2026 to Tuesday, 30 June 2026 (both dates inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered.

In order to qualify for attending at the Annual General Meeting, all properly completed transfer forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged for registration with the Hong Kong branch share registrar of the Company, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong not later than 4: 30 p.m. on Wednesday, 24 June 2026.

9. VOTING BY POLL
As there is no Shareholder who has any material interest in the proposed resolutions, none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on such resolutions. For the avoidance of doubt, holders of treasury Shares, if any, shall abstain from voting at the Annual General Meeting in connection with such treasury Shares.
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and article 66(1) of the Articles of Association, any resolution put to the vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting shall be taken by poll except where the chairman of the Annual General Meeting, 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. Accordingly, each of the resolutions set out in the AGM Notice will be taken by way of poll.
On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative, shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he/she/it is the holder. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not use all his/her/its votes or cast all the votes he/she/it uses in the same way.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 61,920,000 Shares of nominal value of HK$0.00175 each which have been fully paid. Subject to the passing of the resolution in relation to the granting of 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 Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 6,192,000 Shares which represent 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury Shares) as at the date of the Annual General Meeting during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force.
REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the Company’s net asset value and/or its earnings per Share.
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
Repurchase of the Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles of Association, the Companies Act and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors may not repurchase the 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. Subject to the foregoing, the Directors may make repurchases with profits of the Company or out of proceeds of a new issuance of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or out of the Company’s share premium account or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.
The Directors believe that if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, it may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Directors do not intend 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 levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

INTENTION TO SELL SHARES, UNDERTAKING
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates, have any present intention if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.
No core connected persons have notified the Company that he or she or it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
So far as the same may be applicable, the Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed Share repurchase has any unusual features.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
GENERAL
The Company may cancel repurchased Shares or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group’s capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings of the Company for the treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, 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, or take any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury Shares.
TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares 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 of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Company, the following Shareholders were interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of such Shareholders in the Shares would be increased to approximately the percentages set out in the last column as follows (assuming there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company):
| Approximate % | Approximate % | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total number | of issued share | of issued share | ||
| of Shares and | capital | capital if | ||
| underlying | as at the Latest | Repurchase | ||
| Shares | Practicable | Mandate is | ||
| Name of Shareholders | Notes | interested | Date | exercised in full |
| Ng Chern Ann | ||||
| (“Mr. Ng”) | 1 | 12,874,970 | 20.79% | 23.10% |
| Cangsome Limited | ||||
| (“CA SPV”) | 1 | 12,432,115 | 20.08% | 22.31% |
| David Doust (“Mr. Doust”) | 2 | 7,902,124 | 12.76% | 14.18% |

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Notes:
-
(1) The issued share capital of CA SPV is wholly-owned by Mr. Ng, an executive Director and the sole director of CA SPV. As at the Latest Practicable Date, CA SPV is beneficially interested in 12,432,115 Shares whereas Mr. Ng is beneficially interested in 442,855 Share Options.
-
(2) The issued share capital of DD SPV is wholly-owned by Mr. Doust, an executive Director and the sole director of DD SPV. As at the Latest Practicable Date, DD SPV is beneficially interested in 7,459,269 Shares whereas Mr. Doust is beneficially interested in 442,855 Share Options.
In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of repurchase, the shareholding of these Shareholders in the Company would be increased to approximately the respective percentages as shown in the last column of the table above. The Directors believe that such increases would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the extent that will trigger the obligation under the Takeovers Code for substantial shareholders to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares 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 total number of issued Shares would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in the aggregate number of the Shares held by the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.
SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
