General Mandate to allot and issue the Placing Shares

The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed by the Shareholders at the AGM, subject to the limit of up to 20% of the then issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM.

Under the General Mandate, the Company is authorised to allot and issue up to 131,618,117 Shares. As at the date of this announcement, none of the General Mandate has been utilised and the General Mandate is sufficient for the issue and allotment of the Placing Shares. The allotment and issue of the Placing Shares is not subject to the approval of the Shareholders.

Application for listing

Application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in (i) the big data centre services providing storage, electricity and related services; (ii) money lending business in Hong Kong; and (iii) Web3.0 business providing services to Web3.0 developers/operators.

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 21 February 2025, 28 February 2025 and 6 March 2025 in relation to the placing exercise of the Company which was completed on 6 March 2025. Upon completion of such fundraising exercise, the Company raised certain funds which had been applied for, among others, the development and new business opportunities of the Group relating to Web3.0. For details, please refer to the below section headed "FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY DURING THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS". The utilisation of funds planned for the development of the Group's Web3.0 business has progressed more quickly than anticipated due to the accelerated pace of innovation arising from the rapid development of the crypto ecosystem and the recent establishment of regulatory regime relating to stablecoins signifying the governmental support across the Web3.0 and blockchain industries, which has driven the Group to devote more resources so as to promptly explore different business models and technology frameworks in response to the constantly evolving technology environment. As a result, the initial funding for the development of the Group's Web3.0 business has been utilised effectively following the previous placing exercise. As at the date of this announcement, the core on-chain data analysis platform was substantially equipped with the fundamental functions and requirements. To enhance the continuous development of the on-chain data analysis platform and extend the attributes, features and functionalities through technical innovation and user experience considering the market demand and unique requirements of customers, it is expected that additional fundings for equipment purchases and rental costs, recruitment of development teams, outsourcing services and ongoing marketing promotion would be required. On the other hand, in view of the prevailing market conditions, demand from potential customers and the regulatory environment, the Company has decided to reallocate the resources originally planned for development of the aggregator to the development of data analysis platform instead, which is considered to better align with the Company's goal in capturing the potential market share in Web3.0 developed regions efficiently.

Apart from growing Web3.0 business by developing self-owned core platforms, the Group has been exploring business opportunities within the decentralised ecosystem of Web3.0 in order to broaden its income stream. The Group has been considering investment in application and/or project development relating to stablecoins, a type of virtual assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to certain assets, typically fiat currencies, making it useful for transactions such as quicker cross-border payments with lower cost, trading and as a store of value. It is believed that stablecoins would facilitate transactions and participation in decentralised finance (DeFi) applications by offering a stable medium. As at the date of this announcement, no formal agreement regarding the aforesaid investment has been entered into by the Group.

Subject to Completion, it is expected that the maximum gross proceeds and the maximum net proceeds (after deducting the placing commission and other relevant costs and expenses) from the Placing will be approximately HK$54.7 million and approximately HK$54.4 million, respectively. On such basis, the net issue price will be approximately HK$2.0 per Placing Share. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds in the following manners: (i) as to approximately 35% for the further development of the Group's business relating to Web3.0; (ii) as to approximately 20% for the investment in application and/or project development relating to stablecoins and other Web3.0 products; (iii) as to approximately 12% for the continuous enhancement of the research and development capabilities; and (iv) as to approximately 33% for general working capital purposes of the Group.

Considering that the Placing represents an opportunity for the Group to raise additional funds for future development and obligations, strengthen the consolidated financial position and broaden its shareholder base, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Placing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Placing Price and the placing commission payable to the Placing Agent, are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and the entering into of the Placing Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY DURING THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

During the past twelve months immediately preceding the date of this announcement, the Company conducted the following equity fund raising activity:

			(ii) as to approximately 10.7% for the expansion and improvement of big data centre(s);	(ii) After considering the increasing uncertainties arising from the U.S. tariffs leading to higher cost in respect of expansion of the Group's big data centre(s), the Board has decided to adjust the intended use of proceeds originally planned for the expansion and improvement of big data centre(s) in the manner that around HK$2 million of such proceeds shall be applied towards the development and new business opportunities relating to Web3.0, and the remaining portion shall be applied for general working capital of the Group. As at the date of this announcement, taking into account the aforesaid adjustment in usage, the unutilised proceeds for the development and new business opportunities relating to Web3.0 was approximately HK$0.1 million.
				The Board considered that the aforesaid change in use of proceeds will not have any material adverse impact on the operations of the Group and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole;
			(iii) as to approximately 19.6% for the continuous enhancement of the research and development capabilities; and	(iii) utilised as to approximately HK$5.1 million as planned; and
			(iv) as to the remaining portion of approximately 34.7% for general working capital purposes of the Group	(iv) utilised as to approximately HK$10.9 million as planned
