At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to renew the general mandates given to the Directors (i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of issued Shares at the date of passing of the resolution; (ii) to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase issued and fully paid Shares on the Stock Exchange up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares at the date of passing of the resolution; and (iii) to extend the general mandate granted to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares as mentioned in (i) above by the amount representing the aggregate number of Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate.
The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate shall continue in force during the period ending on the earliest of (a) the date of the next annual general meeting; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or by the Articles; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide all the information in relation to the Repurchase Mandate for your consideration.
LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASES OF SECURITIES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the more important of which are summarised below:
(a) Shareholders' approval
All proposed purchase of securities on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by the shareholders by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval in relation to a specific transaction.
(b) Share capital
Under the Repurchase Mandate, the number of Shares that the Company may repurchase shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares at the date of the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 1,095,679,546 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full would result in up to 109,567,954 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period prior to (i) the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the resolution referred to herein; or (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or by the Articles; or (iii) the date upon which the Repurchase Mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.
(c) Reason for repurchase
The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on 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 when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
(d) Funding of repurchase
In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its constitutional documents and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Company was incorporated.
The Company is empowered by its memorandum and Articles to repurchase its Shares. The Cayman Islands law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the profit that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on redemption may only be paid out of either the profits that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of the share premium of the Company. Under the Cayman Islands laws, the repurchased Shares will remain part of the authorised but unissued share capital.
As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2025 (being date of its latest audited financial statements), the Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing level (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited financial statements) of the Company.
(e) Connected parties
None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor has he/she undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
(f) Undertaking by the Directors
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
(g) Takeovers Code
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 of voting rights for the purpose of the Takeovers Code.
Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
The Directors confirm that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to an extent where the amount of Shares held by the public will be reduced to below 25%.
SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
During the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares have been repurchased by the Company.
SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Month | Share Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest HK$ | Lowest HK$ | |
| 2024 | ||
| August | 0.132 | 0.119 |
| September | 0.136 | 0.105 |
| October | 0.132 | 0.100 |
| November | 0.143 | 0.075 |

| May | 0.141 | 0.111 |
| June | 0.152 | 0.141 |
