CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide all the information reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to approve the Share Repurchase Mandate.
This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules which is set out as follows:
SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL
All proposed repurchases of Shares by a company with a primary listing on GEM must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 120,000,000 Shares of nominal value of US$0.002 each which have been fully paid. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 12,000,000 Shares which represent 10% of the issued Shares during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company revoking or varying such mandate.
REASONS FOR AND FUNDING OF 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 per Share 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.
Repurchase of the Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations 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 a new issuance of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of profits of the
– 14 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.
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. The Directors believe that if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and/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 2023, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. 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 levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange during the 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Share Price (per Share) | Share Price (per Share) | |
|---|---|---|
| Month | Highest | Lowest |
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2023 | ||
| April | 0.990 | 0.780 |
| May | 0.940 | 0.880 |
| June | 0.910 | 0.700 |
| July | 0.800 | 0.495 |
| August | 0.710 | 0.620 |
| September | 0.650 | 0.490 |
| October | 0.720 | 0.610 |
| November | 0.650 | 0.470 |

| January | 0.580 | 0.490 |
| February | 0.710 | 0.530 |
| March | 0.570 | 0.530 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.720 | 0.550 |

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), have any present intention if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company.
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 GEM Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands from time to time in force.
No core connected person of the Company (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he or she 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.
EFFECT OF 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Huang Xiaodi (‘‘Mr. Huang’’) was deemed to be interested in 43,645,000 Shares, representing approximately 36.37% in aggregate number of issued Shares. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Huang in the Company will be increased to approximately 40.41% of the issued Shares. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for Mr. Huang 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.
The GEM 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
– 16 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
Shares of the Company would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
